I really really really feel for you guys. I know the feeling well.

If that's any consolation, I don't think it's true that these seats were the best behind 10c. I got section 314, which is pretty bad. Perhaps you guys will end up with seats better than mine?

I got section 313 for night one. Shut out of night two.

Chazz · April 2008

Took about 25 minutes to get in (very stressy) - got 309 section but just glad to be in the building

Hope those 10Cers that got shut out have Good Luck on Friday.

I don't know man, I hope you are right, but that sounds a bit fucked up. We'll see on Friday I guess. Don't get me wrong, I am happy if all the people who got shut out again get tickets, and are better than mine, but I sure hope 10c was in good faith. I guess we'll wait a while for an apology, yeah?

Yeah, imagine how good it will feel to live somewhere where they are actually playing and not being able to be in the building. I swear some people have no empathy. And it was never a matter of patience getting tickets. Now shut up.

You can sit outside and hear just fine there!! And I am sure there will be a ton of folks who will be happy to tell you all about it as they exit.

grrrrrrrr got one single tick for night 1 in the nosebleeds blah....

ok, I am done bitching.
Thanks 10C for at least giving us an additional chance to get in the door.

goldrush · April 2008

as far as i'm concerned anyone who threw tickets back can go fuck themselves. all that did was jam the system and fuck things up for the rest of us

and as for telling people that didn't get in that you threw tickets back?!?...

FUCK YOU

I am really getting the feeling that you'll score better seats for night two on Friday...but whatever happens, you may bask in the joy of being only one section away from me on night one

. Were you buying singles? That's what bothers me... section 314 for a single :(

No sweetheart, I'm in. But that does not prevent me from being understanding of those who are not.

LineOneMightyFine · April 2008

I got sec 314 for MSG1. After today, I still don't think it'll be that hard to get tickets and still not pay through the nose, either on Friday, outside MSG, or through people who bought extras.

I may have 1 extra for MSG1 that I'll likely be willing to sell at face to a nice 10clubber.

There's no way my wife would be willing to see them both nights!

rubi76 · April 2008

As a devoted PJ fan I have to come to the conclusion and both Ticket Bastard and PJ are making fun of us.

From noon till now I have been trying to get tickets for msg 2.... first I get a wait of 12 minutes, after not hitting the browser i get a 'sorry tickets not available' message.
I spent the next half an hour typing wacky tonishment - 21 pregnant - madrid colonials - chalkocsky sky - and all the stupid phrases that should prevent scalpers from getting multiple tickets (gimme a break....)
and no luck.
At about 12 29 i receive offers for SECTION 314. That's the last section on top, slightly behind the stage. Do they really think I have been a fan for almost 2 decades to sit there?
What about the ten club promise 'seats right behind fan club members' ?
How come pearljam.com cannot handle more than 300 people logged in at the same time (I don't think they sold 8000 available fan club tickets in 30 mins with the real presale....) ?
How come this second presale cannot be done on pearljam.com where scalpers cannot buy multiple tickets ?
(don't be naive and think that 'gardenofsea' was exclusive for us.... by now scalpers sign up for the ten fan club and go do their multipple orders as well).
The cherry on the cake:
enjoy stubhub's website that had tickets for sale before the ten club presale, and still does plenty, including from tenclub members, up to $ 19,000 per ticket.
http://www.stubhub.com/pearl-jam-tic...vent_id=602928
Not even the dignity to post these after tickets go on sale to the general public.

Sorry for the complain, but they actually managed to make more pissed than before, which I never thought could be possible.

HailHailLeatherman · April 2008

Here is some food for thought, don't want to start a shit storm or nuthin but the e-mail stated that the tickets released today would be right behind the 10C seats.

Dude, I am mostly seeing shitty seats posted on the board from the pre-sale today. What is that telling us about the people who have regular 10C seats for MSG I and II??????? (uh-oh) What kind of seats are we gonna get???? (keep it together) Have I been in this club for over 10 years now just to sit in section 300 in June at MSGII ?????? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry bout that.

cayenne · April 2008

I got section 37 for MSG II and section 334 for MSG I. I bought MSG II first and then went back and tried for the first night. I got tickets for MSG II pretty quickly. It took longer to get MSG I tickets.

It seems like it's just a handful of sections that all the tickets are coming from. And they are definitely NOT the best seats behind 10C :mad:

So really, you'll be fine on Friday. Probably will fare better than us dupes who took the 300s.

every single presale that i have ever been involved in....

turned out to be nothing but shitty seats.....and i just dont know why this presale would be any different....

as much as someone would want to believe that the 10club and ticketmaster gave us the opportunity for the "best seats available" today......

i just dont believe it...

pjtaper · April 2008

I doubt the 10C would give a presale for shitty seats... I also know Jack Johnson had a presale through ticketmaster and they gave the best seats in that...

More like best seats they (TM) are willing to make available.

nikita_02445 · April 2008

the 'best seats' does not have the same meaning for everyone. While lot's of people would rather be on the back of the floor I would not. You cannot see shit from there. I would much rather be up close on the side or even in the back of the stage at MSG (that's where I was in 96 and it was awesome). I know PJ releases the front sides before the back of the floor in some places becasue _they_ think they are better. So when they say 'right behind 10c members' it's not entirely clear what they meant. The whole floor could already have been taken up with 8000 10c members. and they moved to the sides.
So, would you rather be in level 200 in the back or 300 up close to the stage? I doubt everyone would answer the same, so PJ has to make a call based on _their_ preference, or whatthey think ours would be. Think about it!

I just pm'd you re your possible ticket. Thanks.

cippociappo · April 2008

I share the positive thoughts guys!!

I'm not in 10c, so no presale for me (and no begging for the password, I'm not 10c and I get what I deserve).

BUT... on Friday they will start selling much more tickets, I am faithful that I'll be at least IN.
I'm looking just for one seat, should be easier.... I would love to be near, but it's good enough that PJ are coming to NY (I've never seen them!!!).

Peace and love and.... tickets to everyone!!!!!

Sorry bout that.

There were, apparently, more 10C seats available for 03 than there were for the 10C this year. I have 154xxx (quite good but not phenomenal) and had very good seats for both nights. Night 1 was exactly to the side of Mike, up about 20 rows in the 100's section. Night 2 was Stone's side, halfway back of the arena, up maybe 10 rows. Both were more than fine. I have a feeling 10C seats this year will be as good as 03, if not better on average, and that TM screwed 10C for this 2nd presale deal by making sure some great seats were available for Friday's sale.
