1st time seeing a show in BAL. Where can we stay, walk to the show, and not have to gamble with our lives on the way there and back? My apologies if I disparage anyone’s hometown, just heard stories. I’m from Detroit so I know a thing or two about people’s perceptions about certain cities.
Definitely park in West Baltimore near the towers.

Shut out of 10C lottery, first priority. Grabbed a pair of tickets via VF presale this morning. Seats aren’t ideal (Sec. 313), but am in the building...will take it!
same story 1st priority, if you need a ticket buddy let me know, have cash..
I'm coming in from NYC - where is the preparty? Any good hotel suggestions near the venue. My parents live in the DC area, so that is a good backup, but I would rather stay closer to the action that night.
I grabbed a hotel right after the tour announcement dropped at RL Inner Harbor...listed less than half a mile from the venue. Rates were reasonable at the time, not sure how much they have changed since.
Thanks. I checked that hotel. It was sold out. I ended up paying a little more for a Holiday Inn that is right on the same block as the venue. Its a bit pricey so I may continue to look for something cheaper as we get closer to the show - but I also don't mind the idea of a 4 minute walk to the venue.
I love the Sound Garden! I went there for a couple of Record Store Days, the best being Clutch doing an in-store performance and signing, and then playing Rams Head Live (on 4-20). Really cool place.

Never seen a concert at this arena, only wrestling shows. Hoping the sound is good, I've heard the arena in DC has terrible sound so it's good they aren't playing there.
See those speakers ? (The first picture is mine. The crappy picture)
Those are pearl jam's speaker system (ok maybe they just rent then) but they take them with them. They then adjust the sound to the specifications/whatever of the venue.
So the best seats in the House are when you are in direct line with one of those long johns
So I moved up 7 rows but about 1/2 section further back. Not bad considering the huge demand and number of higher number 10C that will be there. And I always get side sections on Stone's side....Only 1 time on Mike's side dammit LOL

grrr, wish I wouldn't have seen this lol. I'm 193xxx but didn't get 10C tix. I'm in 317 2nd to last row... But hey, we're in the building and I'll try to see if I can upgrade through the fan to fan thing.
Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
Only show I submitted a request for. Happy to know my seat location now.

180xxx Sec. 3 Row E Put in for BA. Had GA the last time ('13), so kinda bummed, but still thrilled to be in the building. The last show there was great, even though Lou Reed had just passed and the band was visibly upset by it.

189xxx - section 3 Row H. My wife is shorter so hopefully no one too tall in front of her. Though highly unlikely given that PJ shows are massive sausage parties.

2x GA. Can't wait. Staying at the Marriott down the street from the venue on points. Probably will come down in the AM to hit the merch truck (assuming there will be one), then will be looking to hang out with some of you clowns / potentially hit up the Orioles / Yankees game. Can't wait!

The sound is brilliant. The speakers are right there pointed at you and the sound is perfect
