    Open container on a public sidewalk?  I'm guessing no.

    You’re good. There were coolers everywhere on Saturday. You’re on a residential city street so no one can tell you not to have a cooler. Be careful with the alcohol though.

    I really wish they would move to the system that Bruce uses with the random drawing for the GA line.
    Pre-line lines, unofficial lines, lists, people cutting in with their friends, it is all too much for me.
    EV even said on Saturday that he was seeing a lot of familiar faces in the front.  I get that a lot of those people “earn” those spots by getting there early but I have also heard of a lot of others who know how to work the system to protect “their” spot on the rail.

    My wife and I thought it was funny that EV spent a few minutes on Saturday talking about the people who had camped out for the rail.  I guess he did not get the memo about no line-up until 8am.

    The whole point of ga was to let different people up front and time and time again we hear of people leaving show number one and immediately lining up for show number two. It seems rather unfair to me especially since they aren’t allowed to line up until 8am today.  However we now have unofficial lines? I just don’t get it.

    We must not question those who line up for GA every show.  They and their methods are above reproach.

    +1....but I guess I get it. It's the same with the merch. What makes their shows bigger events? Lines. 5-6 days of lines. What happens when people wait in lines? They have a tendency to buy more crap to justify having waited in such a line for several hours. 

    When PJ comes to town and the news pick up: "Fans line up 4 days in advance of Pearl Jam show" that makes the event that much bigger. It piques the interest of some that may have just thought the band that sang Jeremy and Black is coming to town.

    I’d hope if you put in the time no one would move you out of your ‘rail’ spot. That being said crowd shots of the first few rows on the big screen showed what i anticipated...people so exhausted or just plain not energetic because of waiting in the GA line that they look like extras filming a scene in ‘The Walking Dead’. Let me know who works the system, I’d love to meet them.

    Ha. Even Ed has no idea how it can be enforced.

    I can’t imagine burning four vacation days just to wait in a line just to be 10 feet closer than the guy lined up just as the doors entered. 
    Boss: “Hey mike how was your time off, what did you do?”
    ”Oh man I sat in this one concrete spot for 72 hours so I could get rail at a 3 hour show.  But the show sucked because they didn’t play enough of the hits and scratched evil little goat off the set list. I can’t wait for the next tour so I can do it again!”

    Every band has their “rail pigs” who wait in lines for days.  Eddie isn’t the only one that has to look at the same faces up front. 

    I cant wait in lines for 7-8 hours.  My health won’t allow it.  Hell, I’m not sure what being in the pit will do to me, but I gotta try. I’ve heard pretty good things about the fans in the pit, the respect, and looking out for others that should be happening. Of course, douchbaggery is everywhere and I’m sure, present in the pit.  But we can all help each other. Even down there.

    I don't think I was a dick about it.  I was being jealous about it. Anyone who can kill 2-3 days sitting on a sidewalk must have a pretty good life.  I wouldn't expect someone working 60-70 hours a week to finally get time off and spend it on pavement.

    Already reports of people cutting the ga line on Facebook. Pictures of the people and all. I wonder if they frequent the boards.
