Let me preface this by saying we feel super fortunate to be seeing Pearl Jam in Boston. First show in 5 years and first even in this city. Not everyone is so lucky. And we will enjoy the show no matter what. 

But really... THIS is a 10 Club seat? This is supposed to be one of best seats in the house? 

20 years of 10C fees (in Canadian funds, no less). Feels like you could get better seats on general sale :(





Makes much more sense to live in the Present Tense.

Shows: 05/30/03, 09/02/05, 09/04/05, 09/05/05, 09/24/05, 09/25/05, 07/22/06, 04/02/08 (EV solo), 08/08/09, 08/23/09, 08/24/09, 09/25/09, 09/21/11, 09/23/11, /9/30/12, 12/02/13... many more to come!

    Heard that, mine were below sea level night one, but I still had a blast I just had to stand all night and rely on the screens. Still an amazing show and I was just stoked to be in the door.

    Obstructed view should be cheaper. That really sucks. Especially already having to be that far away already

    I had my worst seats yet for Sunday’s show. Hopefully they play the garden or great woods next time they come to the Boston area.

    Thankfully mine have been ok, B102 and B114 but sat looking around and I can see a lot of bad seats, I understand stadium shows (old grounds especially) have issues but some are just painful. Lots of gesturing at blocked sights, hopefully something changed for the next tour as when you're paying for tickets blind you hope the 10 club will look after you but it's a shame some are suffering. At least with general sale you get to decide if you're happy with the seat. 

    But as an English guy who's come over... I miss being in the GA section! Will never get used to this seated thing lol

    These are valid concerns. I would also be grateful to be in the house...but come on! Really?!

    This is really brutal. That's a 10C seat?! Such a seat should be way cheaper than other tix.

    If I knew I'd be in front of a beam I could have taken up multiple face offers of single tickets in the front of FieldB

    Yeah, it’s great to be there for sure and awesome the 10club secured so many seats for fans. Just tough to pay high prices to have a terrible view. Ballparks just aren’t designed for concerts. Cool novelty but I’m ready for them to return to proper venues

    In the same boat from Sundays show.  I was in section 24 though right behind a pole I could not see the stage only the screens.  Nothing on my ticket saying obstruction.  Email 10c and the ticket promoter fenway.

    I miss arenas.  No obstructions other than really tall people and that I can live with.

    Agreed. I was fortunate to hit Wrigley N1...it was my 7th show but my first stadium show. I was amazed at the amount of people but after all was said and done, with a good show to boot, it just didn’t have that venue feel. 
    I, like most, feel they’ll keep these stadium shows going. It’s “easier” on them and people will travel.
