Also, I wasn't even aware that the Soldier Field show in 1995 was taking place until it was all sold out. Like...how would I have known about it?

There was no internet.

Got mine from an ad in the classifieds after sell out, pure luck.

"Lack of touring/music for years..."

Lack of touring? I mean, they weren't big tours, but I have seen them 5 times since 2016. It's not like they've been hiding...

Or TM lines where you stood in the parking lot waiting for the mall to open? No real choice on seats. You happily took whatever popped out of the terminal.

there are 2,000 people in front of you....... — Pearl Jam Community After arriving at 9pm the night before and spending the night freezing in your car. Yeah, this method so sucks now. I wish my life was so easy as to make this ticket situation seem so dreadful.

people who have a harder ilfe put more stock in things like this to make them happy, to escape their mental illness, their jobs, their bills, their shitty relationships etc.....it's not the other way around

Then travel to a different place. Living in Albuquerque has not been a hotbed for PJ shows. Nearest shows 6+ hours. If you cared as much as you claimed you could get off your ass and go to a new place. Enjoy trying different foods and local brews, explore and take in new cultures. I agree about needed to escape, but you have to be in control of how hard you really try to escape.
Had a blood clot on my brain last year. You think you need this more or less than me

So like does anyone get lucky when they are taken to the waiting room to see "5 people ahead of you". Seems like no matter what, ITS ALWAYS 2000+ in front of me!

Glad you’ve recovered well....think the ‘People with harder lives’ may not have the financial means or even physical ability to travel to see a band .. was kind of the OPs point? I’m sure you met some people less fortunate than you during your recover who now have harder lives ....hail hail to the lucky ones

I used to have to work these at Streetside Records in STL. As much of a pain in the ass as it was it was always kind of fun. Fans hyped about a band/show. Obviously I love just sitting at home and entering the 10c lottery with almost zero stress (other than waiting to see if we win) but fans gathering all night before a big ticket sale was kind of cool.

kristie73 · January 2020

Does it ever move past the 2000+ in front of you? It's not even moving?

Yeah, its kinda cool to see that....but we get that now with GA lines and Merch lines too

I would prefer NOT to camp out for tickets in january.

Yes. I feel very lucky. Not rich financially at all, medical bills are not cool. Sometimes things just don't work out the way you expect/hope, it's how you react to said things that define your character and growth in life. It took me a long time to realize the world doesn't owe me shit. I understand the op, in different situations in life I have been the op.

You ain't seen nothing yet....just wait until they release the seating assignments.

Oh no doubt. There is plenty of opportunities to get in a line and mingle with other fans and I hated the stress of trying to get tickets for shows back then. It was just sometimes kind of fun seeing so many passionate fans gather at a record store for a chance at tickets. Again, of course so much easier and better now.

It’s going to be very fun watching the lucky few with MSG tickets complaining. Seriously if any of you complain 10c should give that ticket to another fan who put in for tix.

AND ONLY ONE WAITING ROOM AT A TIME.....pointless...useless

sorry...but this is a damn joke....this entire concert drop has been an embarrassment for PJ....but we are all so damn desperate for a drop of anything from the PJ teat...they starve us with

lack of touring/music for years...then drop this bullshit last minute system on us....NOBODY from 10C has made a statement about this....and to bet into bed with ticketmaster.....what's

next? 10C poster drops ran by Ebay? Vault releases on Amazon?

lotto winners get codes for verified while others get waitlisted.....LIFE AIN'T FAIR

It hasn’t been an embarrassment. It’s been an unmitigated success. Scalping shut down for all but 2 shows. Sellouts for all shows, at face. What more do you want? I know the answer... tickets for yourself. But when demand exceeds supply, some folks miss out. I’m sad for those that do. But a little bit less sad for those who can’t find any other way to deal with it than to complain on this forum.

Try Fan to Fan. I hope you get what you want.

Seriously. There's been some mix ups with the e-mails, but I think most of the issues people have *ed about have been user errors. There are a couple things I might change, but they're minor, and overall, I think things went well.

I remember spending the night in the arena parking lot for Bowie tickets in the 80's only to find out that it was a lottery system. We got crappy seats, but at least had fun partying in the line. I don't know if it wasn't announced right away or if we were just stupid kids. Point is, tickets for big bands have always been tough. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you crap out. Of course, this won't stop another person from posting yet another thread about how life is so unfair.

there are 2,000 people in front of you.......
