    Open up the bleachers
    $20 a seat.

    That would be a party for sure. The drunkest people in the building. :lol:

    It would be an out and out free for all. Not that the entire place isn't going to be, and exactly why they are not selling the bleachers, one would assume.

    At this point, the bleachers would EASILY go for $100 a seat, behind the stage or not, and would sell out immediately.

    Yea looks like theo is managing this show like he is the cubs..piss poorly!!!

    Get 5-6 of your friends together.
    Sit out there with a few Vodka/Lemonades
    Fuck Yeah.
    The bleachers would be a good time.

    The bleachers would be a one of a kind experience. Knowingly buying tickets with no view of the stage, going in with that wtf attitude, and still planning on having the best time ever. Sounds like a fantastic time actually.

    I truly believe people would be more than willing to pay $100 for a spot, just to say....I Was There.

    Fuck. Yeah.

    :P
    Nice shirt.

    I would guess no bleachers, for security reasons.
    I dont know.
    There HAS to be a good reason.

    It would be made as hospitable as possible for sure. Gives the term Bleachers Bums
    a whole new meaning.

    They could sell t-shirts and EVERYTHING! To be worn proudly for years to come.

    :P

    This. Put a giant screen on the back of the stage so the people in the bleachers can get a good view of the action.

    Yeah.
    You would need another 100 or so security guards up there.
    Because it would be a free for all!

    I have been shutout on all three drawings for the Chicago and Ontario shows. What's the seniority level of these people that are getting chosen. I have been a Ten Club member for close to 20 years. How is it that I can not get any tickets. Then I go online and see tickets for both shows that are being scalped for anywhere between $250 to $2500 a ticket. According to the ticket rules these Ten Club members will lose their membership. Yea right like that's really going to happen. This is a load of HORSESHIT!!!

    I joined last month ... i'm so excited... My Own Prison is my favorite song!!

    Do you know if you get 5 or 10 ukelele songs?

    and is the teenage wasteland song always done??

    why wander when you can have a seat with a beer.

    Seriously, if there was a screen and and a few speakers facing that way.... in a heartbeat. Shit, I bet people would take those seats over uppers.

    Wrigley bleacher seats = bucket list material..... to do it while listening to PJ instead of watching the Cubs is a huge bonus, haha.

    This will be my first time there so I don't totally understand the mystic around the bleacher seats, etc...

    I get why they wouldn't sell it for your typical show (maybe not all the seats are sold out so you don't want to make more seats available).

    But since it doesn't appear there is going to be a second show, I think it makes sense to sell them for really cheap. As long as you can block off the backstage area for the band, I would think you would be ok.

    I mean I've seen videos of them in concert with people behind the stage. Granted that they will have to have a giant screen behind them since it's a huge stadium, but there are some on the side that should work.

    Maybe they can do it closer to the date of the concert as an FU to the scalpers.

    $20 to watch the crowd having a great time watching pearl jam? no thanks.
    They would all get stubbed down to the pit and it would be a nightmare.
