    FWIW, most people do not appreciate being next to a baby at a rock concert.

    Id bring a trusted friend or family member to stay at the hotel with your sweet pea if you arent wanting to leave her behind. Win win.

    This might be over the line but no hanky panky for you :lol: if you bring her.
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    I can tell that you are a huge PJ fan, but leave the 18 month at home.
    I missed Wrigley in 2013 because I had an infant at home... it was hard but it was the right thing to do.... and look... now they are playing Wrigley again. it will work out for you guys eventually.

    I still remember leaving Wrigley field at 2 am in the morning after the show. We walked through some kind of "entertainment" district because the trains were too full and no cab to be had. I saw a guy with two little boys standing there on the curb. He hoped for a taxi. I did not feel super comfy in those surroundings either, I pitied the kids. Leave your kids at home. Enjoy the evening as adults. Or wait a couple of years.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    Thanks for the sincere replies. It was definitely a long shot for us to actually bring her to the show given her age (which I acknowledge is too young to withstand a late night, 3 hour show but she's a good baby so I guess there was a glimmer of hope that she would enjoy herself? Yeah, unlikely).

    There'll be another tour for us... maybe if some Western Canada dates are announced and then babysitter option could happen.

    Yes this is crazy.
    I would literally hate you if your baby was crying during oceans.
    If you can't ask your kid if they want to go to a concert, then they shouldn't be at the concert.

    How about a ten year old boy with his old man, standing at the back of the pit. So he could see the show and all the fun everyone will be having. Oh and ear plugs in.

    I want to have this experience with my oldest and lets face it, its a rock band; could all come to an end any moment.

    He's a fan....mostly by default of course. But he knows how much these shows mean to me and he wants to be part of it. Man if I could get a member to forward an unused GA I would take my six year old too. He loves to air guitar and sing the songs....my little mini me.

    I think seated tickets in the bowl would be a lot better than GA. But 10 is a little young still...

    This is what I am doing. Will have a 6 month old and a 3 year old and bringing someone to watch them while we are at Ft Lauderdale and Miami shows.

    I couldnt imagine bringing an 18 month old. wow
