Well, here's the thing: I plan on going to both MSG shows using the trusty tenclub. But now I have a few of friends who want to come along to one of the shows, they're not huge fans and probably wont go unless I go with them. So, should I say screw them, and get 10club tix for both nights for myself, or only get 10club tix for one night and go through ticket master for the other? keep in mind, of course, that tickmaster seats for 4 people will probably be miles up and away from 10club seats.

I'm just looking for a general consensus.
days will keep moving along. it doesnt really make a difference if you're well, sick, crazy or boring. the days will keep moving despite you and your small life. the point is to make each day that surrounds your life as big as possible.

    Buy through the 10c then hold some sort of competition among your friends where the winner gets the other 10c tic.



    My suggetion: plant the 10c tix in a shipment of candy bars and see who is a true fan.

    If you buy 10club tickets for both nights, why can't a different friend come with you on each night using your second ticket?

    problem is there's 3 friends, so someone's gonna get left out in the cold.

    i'd go with that one. even if there is 4 of you if they aren't big fans 1 shouldn't mind not being "that close" and they would get better seats just trying to get a pair rather than 4 together.

    Long Answer:
    I'm in the same boat. But there's no problem. I"m taking a different person both nights, that are really into the band or I really want to go with. If they're your friends, you should be able to say "Hey dude, sorry. This is what I'm doing and why..."

    Short Answer: Screw 'em.

    yea this is probably the best way to go. im thinkin i'll go with 10club for the first show, since the second show will probably have more tenclubbers, therefore giving me a shot at better seats the first night. and the second night, i'll just have to deal with ticketmaster seats.

    yea. i like to plan things out.

    go with ticketmaster seats both nights so it's easier for me to get 10c seats

    I had the same dilema in 2003, there were 3 of us travelling from the UK, I coulda had sweet tix with my TC number being 32,### but wanted us all to be together. We ended up behind the stage and had an amazing time, it didn't matter the fact we had average seats it was just being there and together. Looking back though, tix were quite cheap maybe I shoulda got the TC tix as well and tried to sneak the other in with us. It'd be easy if you got 2 tix, one stays and the other goes out with the 2 tix. As long as you can live with maybe pissing a few peeps off around you, you should be okay.

    when it comes to PEARL JAM and the selection of frenz going to the shows with u are NOT other PEARL JAM fans.........SCREW THEM!!! They could possibly ruin your night by complaining or getting way too drunk and acted retarded or other stuff if u ended up sitting with them.
