if that’s the case, why would they even say the presale is open to folks who became Members by Wednesday? I mean those people will have zero shot, right?

I’m debating between putting St. Paul 2 or Chicago 2 as my first preference. I’d like to try to maximize my chances of scoring GA for at least one show, and I’m thinking the chances of GA at St. Paul are going to be higher than Chicago since (1) the pit looks larger and (2) I’m assuming the Chicago shows will be in higher demand (although St. Paul is on a Saturday night, so who knows). What do you think the chances are of me scoring Chicago 2 as my second pick if I select GA/Reserved and also Side/Rear? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I think both tickets will be tough but putting St Paul as your first pick is definitely the best bet for getting in GA. Choosing Chicago night 2 with all options as a second pick has a small chance of at least getting you side/rear seats
Thanks! Ah how I miss the good ole days when they used to have the ticket odds tool!
Does anyone think they'll have different posters for each night in a given city, or will they have posters with multiple dates like they did for the stadium shows?
They'll have different posters for each show.
What about the show specific t-shirts?
Yes, they'll have those too.
A different shirt for each night or just one shirt for each city to cover both shows?
They'll have a different shirt for each night.
Thanks Jojo. Man you were up late and and now getting up early. Glad they have the shirts for each night. Posters are cool but I think I like the shirts even better.

Being a first timer to a concert, will the posters be readily available and easily obtainable at the show, do you order online, how does this work? Thank you.
They'll be an outside merch truck the day of the show that usually opens around 1:00 but people will start lining up early in the morning. As far as inside the arena, you'll want to go in as soon as doors open in order to get one. There's only a limited supply and the merch stands will sell out of them. A limited number will also be available online after the tour.
A line for posters can be a multiple hour affair. If you are really interested in the city, you might be better off spending time doing sight seeing. In Nashville, my son had no desire to wait in the line. He wanted to see all of the music history spots. We showed up about an hour early before doors opened to an arena entrance. Merch stand was immediately inside the doors. I scored a poster easily. Same deal in St. Louis.
I had a similar deal in Charlotte 2013, but missed the posters on the inside. That one went quick! Had to snag it on the open market a couple months later.
Check the poster out day of online and then make a choice based on how bad you want it.
I’m a little confused that the site lets you choose both (a) GA Pit or reserved; and also (b) reserved. If you select the former, shouldn’t that also cover the latter (as per the 10c instructions)? What does everyone think about this?
It's to allow people to select if they want GA Pit or not.
There is no just GA Pit option so if you want GA Pit, you select GA Pit or Reserved,
If you only want Reserved, select only Reserved.
If you want to be double sure and are good with GA and/or Reserved, select both
It’s the last part of this that confuses me. I’m looking to maximize my chances of getting in the building and would be happy with either GA or Reserved. So I’m assuming I should just choose the former option (“GA or Reserved”). My understanding from the 10c instructions is that if you select that option and you’re aren’t selected for GA, you are then automatically entered into the lottery for Reserved. What confuses me is that if I select “GA or Reserved,” the site still also lets me choose the latter option (“Reserved”). To further complicate matters, the site says, “Select all options below for Best Available. Selecting multiple seat preferences will increase your chances of getting tickets.” So does that mean to maximize my chances, I need to select both “GA or Reserved” and also “Reserved,” or is just selecting the former sufficient because it appears to also cover the latter? I emailed 10c support about this and will let everyone know what they say. In the meantime, sea or santos, do you have any guidance to offer on this? TIA!
questions about tickets should go to tickets@pearljam.com
Response I got:
We encourage you to select both options as it will increase your chances of getting in the building. Good luck!
Thank you,
Ten Club
Thanks! This is very helpful!
Sorry but it makes zero sense that choosing both of those helps you get in the building more than just choosing the ga/reserved option.
The only way selecting both makes the odds better for you is if it somehow puts you in the reserved draw twice which would be ridiculous.
It's possible that's it? If they draw the GA first then whomever is left over from GA/Res pool gets combined with Res Only for the reserved draw. If you whiff on GA you have two ping pong balls for reserved.
That’s a broken system if that’s how it works
Remember Ticketmaster is running things. Broken systems are their specialty.

Anyone have an expectation as to how far back seats will actually go? Specifically thinking of the 300 level at the United Center in particular.
I read the note below as will go farther back than normal, but then also include the best seats in the house so as to not spook anyone lol.
curious to see if what others are expecting the range of Ten Club tickets to be based on the maps and announcement wording.
From Announcement
Reserved - Seating: Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club and will start closest to the stage extending back and include seats down on the arena floor. In order to accommodate as many Ten Club members as we can, be aware Ten Club seated tickets will be spread farther back into the uppermost levels, and include some of the best seat locations in the house.

Seating has only ever applied to seating. The urban legend that seniority was used to determine who got tickets is just that. It's never helped anyone secure tickets, only get good seat location.

That’s helpful, yeah I re-joined like a year ago so not much better.
Hoping to secure tickets for Chicago Night 1 and hoping for anywhere in lower level or club (middle balcony) (excluding rear/side).
With demand where it’ll likely be though, even scoring upper level is likely worthwhile.

Hey all, I'm looking at travelling over from NZ and have been following this thread with much interest and excitment!
I've read through things but have a question I'm hoping you guys can clarify, from what I can tell jumping on the lottery site there is no ranking/prioirtising of shows if you're putting in for multiple shows, is this correct and does that mean essentially equal odds of getting tickets to all shows you put in for?
Long way to come so hoping to max my chances :-) Cheers!

There is a way to rank the shows you want to select which is important because the further down your rankings you go the odds drop substantially especially with only 9 shows. And yes it is best to pick less popular shows to enhance your chances in the lottery. Key word is lottery there are no guarantees of anything.
How, specifically does the ranking apply?
The short answer is the higher you rank a show that you want tickets for the better your odds of getting tickets for that show. Odds of getting your 3rd or 4th pick drop substantially because you have a lower priority of getting those shows due to more people being in front of you in the lottery process.
Where are you seeing this?

"Ticket requests will be confirmed for each show taking your priority into consideration, but it is not guaranteed you will get your first priority"
So it really doesn’t matter how you prioritize your seating preference! I chose GA/Reserved & Reserved I’d prefer reserved but since GA will be drawn 1st and left over folks getting put into Reserved pool it really doesn’t matter if I would of put Reserved 1st no?

I was a member previously in 2006 and can confirm that it was entirely seniority based because a lottery was not necessary. They were able to accommodate all requests and used to have a little ticket that you clicked to get tickets and then it would be gone when supply was exhausted (most people had no issue).
Once Ten Club grew to the point where newer members routinely got shut out, that’s when I think the lottery came in to make it more accessible for newer members.
I can remember the ticket icon almost looked like a golden ticket from Willy Wonka lol in those days (2006).

Yeah, member since 98 and this sounds familiar, been through a few changes so I can't remember everything but I do remember being shut out on a Chicago show when it first went to lottery, that sucked, it was the first time that happened.

I wish, I'd have a much better chance at securing tickets. In actuality this is not how it works though, seniority only applies to seating now.
Seating has only ever applied to seating. The urban legend that seniority was used to determine who got tickets is just that. It's never helped anyone secure tickets, only get good seat location.
I think you're wrong..........the lottery was not always around. I don't remember exactly how it was done before then, but pretty sure seniority had something to do with it.
I was a member previously in 2006 and can confirm that it was entirely seniority based because a lottery was not necessary. They were able to accommodate all requests and used to have a little ticket that you clicked to get tickets and then it would be gone when supply was exhausted (most people had no issue).
Once Ten Club grew to the point where newer members routinely got shut out, that’s when I think the lottery came in to make it more accessible for newer members.
I can remember the ticket icon almost looked like a golden ticket from Willy Wonka lol in those days (2006).
That ticket icon was the F5 days and had absolutely nothing to do with seniority.
Sorry, yes, to clarify I meant that once you got your ticket, it was seniority based and getting the ticket, at least from what I remember wasn’t overly challenging outside of things like the Vic show.
If you don't want GA, put in for reserved. If you want GA, put in for GA/reserved, but keep in mind you could get reserved.
Here's what I'm thinking: If you put in for both, you could get both, but it seems you're probably going to get seats since you requested seats.
What do you mean you could get both? If interested in GA but want best chance of landing tickets regardless, you put in for GA/Reserved and Reserved. Essentially, you're selecting best available with best chance of landing tickets even if not chosen for GA. At least that's what it says when on the page to check the boxes.
You can’t get both. You only get 2 tickets per show
Guess I was wrong. It must have just been the increase in membership that made it harder to get tickets, it was never easy but less competition I guess.
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side

" if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
I had a similar deal in Charlotte 2013, but missed the posters on the inside. That one went quick! Had to snag it on the open market a couple months later.
Check the poster out day of online and then make a choice based on how bad you want it.
I read the note below as will go farther back than normal, but then also include the best seats in the house so as to not spook anyone lol.
curious to see if what others are expecting the range of Ten Club tickets to be based on the maps and announcement wording.
From Announcement
Reserved - Seating:
Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club and will start closest to the stage extending back and include seats down on the arena floor. In order to accommodate as many Ten Club members as we can, be aware Ten Club seated tickets will be spread farther back into the uppermost levels, and include some of the best seat locations in the house.
