    Today is the day!  Come on GA for both Seattle shows!  OR at least for one of them and Reserved for the other.  Though, yes I'd be totally stoked with reserved for both if that is the way it works out - but I really want GA for both.
    Same here. We'll know soon enough!

    OK, so I've been a fan since '93, but have never been to a live show...CRAZY, I know!  I'm in for the second Fenway show as my 1st choice, but want to ask the experienced bunch, what is the major plus of going to two shows in the same stadium?  Just trying to gauge if I should consider trying to go to the first show, since it would be tough to be away from my family for 5 days vs 3.  
    Yes this is crazy. If you've been a fan that long and are not familiar with their live shows or set lists, then I don't know what to tell ya. But the benefit/privilege of getting to see back to back concerts in the same city/venue is that Pearl Jam varies their set lists significantly from show to show, sol if you want to see as many favorite songs as possible you increase those odds by going to both shows. The atmosphere and energy varies from show to show, so while there will be 15-20 repeat songs (the hits) you will get to see a unique show each night considering they play over two and half hours each concert. If you can afford it I highly recommend it. But it's also not the end of the World to only go to one of the two since you're still getting a huge concert experience. 
    The whole point of being a PJ fan is seeing them live IMO.

    Do you not get a confirmation screen if you have submitted yours?  I keep pressing submit and the screen doesnt change.

    First time in lottery. I have "pending" $1 charges on my credit card account, but they do that right when you request it right? It doesn't mean you got tickets.

    I too am shocked someone could halve been a fan since 93 and not have seen this band live before now... to say you've been missing out would be understatement of the year :) 

    Wanted to add that there are not necessarily 15-20 repeat songs. I was at both nights of Fenway 2016 and they played over 6.5 Hours total. 68 Songs (Avg of 34 per night) with ONLY 3 REPEATS IIRC. It was essentially one long ass 6.5 hour long concert.. an incredible experience. Hoping for something similar at Wrigley this year.

    Again, first time lotto. Do they usually update whether you got them or not on the same day they close or does it take a day or two?

    Fair enough. I was speculating on the number of repeats, but wow didn't realize that the last Fenway shows were that low. That's awesome.
