223xxx member since very late 2000. I will be coming in from Arkansas along with other Arkansans. This will be our 3rd AR to Chicago trip to see PJ in the past 3 years.
I had some great wing seats for Night 1 in 06 on Mikes side; 2nd section over about 6 rows up. Night 2 I was in the 2nd level on Stone's side half way up about 8 sections over.
I wish I were the verb "to trust" and never let you down

(404,XXX) Last year in Tampa, my 10c seats were one section out and on the side of the stage about 3/4 of the way up. Considering there will be a lot more 10c members at this show, I'm just hoping to at least be in the lower level!

299xxx -- We were front row in the second section of seats on the floor at the UC back in '06. Not bad seating at all. I'm expexting something similar for this show.

i live here and couldn't be happier since traveling for me is most likely out of the question this year.

used my own tickets and was 16 rows back on nite 2

I feel the same way you do. I'm also 19 and that's exactly around the same time i joined. Im at 415xxx and im going to the chicago show too. It just pisses me off there's no shot at the lottery.
It's just a shame that people that have ridiculous numbers like 1-1,000 have seen them hundreds of times and still get to sit in the front.
Respectfully, you don't represent well by phrasing things like this. It's clear that you're disappointed, but I'm pretty sure that if you had a low number ("...like 1-1,000...") that you wouldn't think it was a "shame." I know I wouldn't. I think it's unfortunate to make generalizations like this. I have a relatively low number (no where near 1-1,000 but still respectable) and this is the first time I'm ever using my fan club tickets. Focusing on concepts like fairness or entitlement is distracting if you put them in the context of what you think you might never get. But viewing things through the lens of hypotheticals can be infuriating. Rather, I think it's probably accurate to say that you won't know how good your seats are until you find them at the show. Even a seat that is a little further back still sounds great.
The opposite side of the coin would be to ask: Isn't it fair that the people who were fortunate to jump at the opportunity to join the 10C from the get-go (I'm not one of them) and have maintained their membership diligently over the years exercise their option to get what the 10C said they would? Can you honestly say that if you had taken the time to make sure your membership was up to date for the past 17 years that you would be completely 100% fine with taking seats farther back because someone else doesn't think the situation is fair? Not trying to aggravate you here (really), just wondering if you could truthfully answer "yes."
I understand that the rules have gone through several iterations through the years, but I think that if you stick with the band and the 10C that over time you will not be disappointed! There's a very good chance that there will be variations in the seating placements in the future and when that happens and you score 2nd row center you'll be overjoyed and I'll be a little further back (but still loving the experience!).
PJ puts on a great show and they're one of the only bands that is a must-buy for me. I've got the distinct feeling that you'll enjoy the show no matter what.

I can see it now. Buses everywhere with "pearl jam Chicago or bust" signs. We can have buses from Texas, out east and Wisconsin/ Minnesota so far.

Atlanta fans are traveling like crazy so it seems. The boys should save us some money and play here... :P :P :P
You should go anyways. But it looks like you may be getting closer shows TBA...
Front Row - Centre to Mike side in '05
Nice! Got an extra??? :P
You'd have to fight my PJ soul mate for it. Me thinks he'd put up quite a fight

Doh!
I was about 10 rows back in the center in '06.
Hoping it will be even better this time around.
In 2003, I was not on the floor for night 1, but had 3/4 of the way back floor seats for night 2.
Very, very excited for this one.
A lot of times a wing seat is better than a floor seat IMO.You could get lucky again...
hope i get something up and above or infront of all you tall motherfuckers.
