    10C tickets are randomly throughout the venue and the more senior member you are the closer you will be, small venues so all seats were good.
    This is not the case with the American shows as far as I know. From what my confirmation says and everything else I've seen, it's random and not based on seniority.


    I think that's how it was for the Aussie shows too.

    Aussie shows were definitely seniority based, the seats were in random sections but the lower your number the closer you were, all good seats though...

    Make sure you go to the preparties at the Rock Bottom Brewery!!!

    Definitely on my to-do list. What time does it start? And it's the Seattle not the Bellevue Rock Bottom right?

    You might want to go to the goods section. You're going to need a few items.
    #1 analog PJ tee shirt
    #2 flannel shirt "goes over the top and be sure to tie it in front around your waist".
    #3 Steel tip "black shoes"
    #4 Jeans "shredded lightly"
    #5 Here's the biggy if you have short hair then you'll need to shave a Mohawk. If you have long hair than you'll need to pick up a very large scrunchie. If your not sure what color or size. Google some early pics of Stone. He had some choice one's.
    Good luck and hope you have a great time at the show. :D:D:D

    Not true, bro.

    fair enough man, that was the word we got when we were picking up our tickets from 10c and it seemed that way when we were all comparing our numbers and our tickets...who knows then.

    What show were you at? I think there was a fuck up with the brissie shows and seat allocations for the most part seemed to be based on numbers. but the other shows were random, and this is from people who did multiple shows in multiple cities.

    In the US I've never seen any difference in dress between EV shows and PJ shows.

    I would say etiquette is an issue, though one a handful of asswipes always ignore. It's unbelievable to me the obnoxious and inconsiderate things people yell out. These people are in Ed's fan base? I guess some people are very casual fans. Unlike at a PJ show, you can hear pretty much everything in these small venues. We all know PJ listens to our requests frequently enough as posted in this forum (remember Black Red Yellow at MSG last year?) But Ed doesn't seem to appreciate it when people call out requests in the middle of the solo shows. (Especially when it's 'freebird'. Somebody really didn't find it embarrassing to yell that.)

    I think there's a thread somewhere else for stupidest stuff you've heard people yell at an EV concert. For me it was the drunk guy next to me yelling at the top of his voice "my girlfriend is Joey Ramone's cousin!".

    I would really like Ed to play Off He Goes. Has he played this solo yet?

    At least that's ridiculous enough to be a little bit funny. Much worse to me are the calls for Yellow Ledbetter, State of Love and Trust, Evenflow etc...

    I agree, although I think it would be fitting if Mike McCready came out for the second encore of Ed's last show in Seattle and did an acoustic rendition of Yellow Ledbetter.

    Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

    Make sure you go to the preparties at the Rock Bottom Brewery!!!

    That sure sounds a lot better than the ghetto bar near the Tower Theatre. :roll:

    The Philly pre party isn't at that Bar.

    Where will the Philly pre-party be?

    So I guess since I didn't get an answer last time...are the pre-parties at the Seattle or Bellevue Rock Bottom? And what time is everyone meeting?

    He played Off He Goes in Chicago, night 2. It was GREAT.

    This is a formal black tie event for me. Don't let me be the only one.

    This is FUNNY...
