    This is such horseshit. Never have I had to go through all this nonsense to get tickets. We are a spoiled bunch, but I feel like I've been treated pretty shabbily.

    The 10C tickets used to be 1 pair for 1 show. Now it's a goddamn free for all among fans and scalpers. Fans who have "won the lottery" are trading tickets amongst themselves and guys like me who want to see the band in my hometown are shut out by tourists, scalpers, speculators, and other fans who "won".

    Having lost the lottery, I'm now in line with scalpers, speculators, and John/Jane Q. Publics, who are already on the short end of the priority stick for holdback to the band, venue, label (normal), but also American Express cardholders and people who've bought season tickets to the Leafs/Raptors (a pool of 15,000 people!) who have the first option on available tickets and who already have relationships with scalpers in this town (to help them unload their pricey Leaf tickets).

    The end result is Pearl Jam fans getting fucked and it seems there's nothing they can do about it.

    1 pair per membership is a reasonable expectation, I feel.

    I wouldn't get too bent out of shape for today. It's just a pre-sale. I don't think you can bank your whole hope just on this. Where there's a will there's a way. You'll get them tomorrow

    I've always felt one pair per membership was fair. Especially to those who ONLY go to a show near their hometown. My very first 10C show was Toronto 2000. I joined that same year and got 4th row Stones side, mainly because that was the last tour that you could only choose one show. Ever since then, my seats get worse every time. This is the first time I've been trying to buy tickets through ticketmaster since 1996. Never have I not been able to get tickets through the 10C. I get supply and demand has changed over the years, just frustrating seeing your favorite band come to town and not being able to get a ticket. Here's hoping the general sale tomorrow works.

    Hello - Do they sell alcohol in the concert? I heard they sometimes don't sell booze at concerts. Cheers.

    I didn't get horseshit in the presale either. And this stupid picture puzzle made me angry. Could the pics be any smaller and less clear to understand? I hope we all have better luck tomorrow.
    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

    I sucked at finding rivers. Apparently I was picking oceans and lakes too.

    Yes, you can get all kinds of booze at the ACC...it makes watching the Leafs tolerable.

    You might not be able to bring alcohol into the GA though. I have been to a few shows at the ACC where no booze was allowed in the GA section...Kings of Leon was that way.

    At Honda Center in Anaheim you can't bring ANY liquid onto the floor for concerts, not even H20 Bottles

    That sounds unsafe, people need to stay hydrated. That's a suspicious amount of tickets available. Season ticket holders must somehow have had access to GA.

    Hey I have tickets to Night 1 Sec 309 and Night 2 Sec 110. 2 tickets to each show that I would be willing to trade for one pair of GA's, preferably for night 1. If anyone is interested. Thanks
