    well they locked down the other thread because they said there was too much disrespect, lol, but it's okay for them to disrespect us, with this stupid Pre-Sale set up the way it is, there's no free speech anymore, which coming from a band like Pearl Jam, seems very hypocritical, I got hosed, but from what I can tell, lots of us got hosed, so my condolences to all the fellow losers in this cluster#### of a system
    Out of curiosity, why didn't you just buy them from the 10 club sale? 
    because the cost of living is so fucking high here in Seattle, and I didn't have the money for 4 tickets on that date, I only needed singles so figured I would get them this way, but when they stuff you in the last time slot, they are basically ####ing you out of any decent seats. so excuse me for being too poor to afford to buy 2 extra tickets

    I got tickets from 10c but I looked out of curiosity for both Seattle nights, and night 1 had a few seats in section 127, 131, and 133 and most of them were in the 300s. Night 2 only had 300s. As of 11:05 am neither night had anything available.

    Pretty average. Had an alarm set for 5:15am, TM told me my sale would be 5:30am (11am PT). Didn't wake up to a text at 4am saying Missoula was open now. And was still setting my laptop up at 5:22 when I got the Seattle code that said Open Now.

    Had no issues on both phone and computer starting at 10:30
    Searched several times for Aug 8 show with:
    316 row 11, 214 row 4, 318 row 9, 344 row 2
    Already have tickets through 10C but wanted to see how the process worked. Seemed smooth on my end but not great seats. 
    Probably means the 10c got a massive allocation of tickets, if nothing decent is available in the presales.
    Ten Club got a lot, and I think most of the venues had season ticket holder pre-sales already (I know Fenway did). I'm guessing there wasn't a ton left today, period.

    I don't like that I'm seeing a lot of people on here that were trying to use the sale today to get an upgrade compared to their 10c seats.  With the new rules this seems pretty shady in my opinion.

    Was always going to happen but with the inability to transfer both 10c tickets I'm betting it happened less than in years past.

    Seattle 1 was pretty smooth, but I had the 10 am slot.  Ended up buying a pair in the 100s for another fan.

    I signed up for Verified in case I got shut out in lottery, I lucked out and got both nights..  I got 8 more today (me 4 and wife got 4 - sec 216 and 427).  I bought them for friends who wanted to go but are not 10C members or signed up for verified.  Selling to them for face.... EVEN IF BETTER than my 10C tickets, which they might be since I am #678xxx.  But I'm a stickler for rules and just happy I am in the building!

    I'm a stickler for rules too and I'm paranoid that I'd be the one guy that would get caught and would be able to get tickets in the future.  I just entered the lottery for Wrigley night 2 and the verified sale as a back up.  I won GA for night two and decided to use the verified code for night one.  I knew in the end I would regret not going to both shows.

    Keep the 400s for yourself. Many of the 200s are under an overhang and the sound gets bad. 

    Edit: just saw your comment re keeping the 10c tix. Right on. Advice re 400s vs 200s stands. Whoever you sell them too, odds are the 400s are better.

    No all KC ..... I know a lot of people handed off their codes to other fans.  While yes there are those who spend lots of time jockeying for better seats.  I take what I get.  The people I don’t like are the ones who agree to buy someone’s tickets at face value and then flake on them at the last minute because they found better tickets ! You know who you are !!

    It's what TIcketMaster does best. Well, actually charging exorbitant fees is what they do best, but stressing people out is right up there.

    That's pretty shitty!!!  I'm happy to be in the building both nights.  I was even considering just hanging outside the stadium on Saturday if I didn't get tickets for that night.

    Ironic this band has the worst ticket policies for the majority of fans and insists on playing venues with horrific ticketing systems

    Majority of fans are being punished because they decided to pick a fight with TM when they were young
    Can you please be more specific?  "Worst ticket policies" compared to... what other bands?  What are the policies that you consider so much better for a similiarly in-demand band?  And I ask that sincerely, I'm not arguing with you, but that statement without something to compare it to is meaningless.  What are the similarly in-demand bands that have such much better ticket policies, and what are those policies?
  • Got a 10am Boston code. Got thru at 1005/1010. No turf seats.  Could only pull 2 obstructed together. For all the great talk from the Ticketmaster rep on serius- it was a disappointment. Very limited supply mediocre at best seats. based on traffic on the site too many codes were given out. Consider this- many people that got codes may have not even used them if they got 10 club tix. Many registered as insurance if the ten club didn’t come through.

    I agree Sweet. I think way to many codes were given out. I didn’t use mine. There are already a bunch of tix on SH which means a bunch of pieces of shit scalpers got their hands on them.

    People seems to forget the code system was Ticketmaster. The actually sales was tickets.com and MLB not Ticketmaster. Any Wrigley or Fenway issues was not Ticketmaster.
