    But that has little to nothing to do with 10club, that comes from folks who get tix for MSG (and plenty of other venues, but MSG is highest profile) through other "connections" and bypass normal means of acquiring tix. It is magnified at MSG cause its NYC and loaded with VIP's and folks with lots of cash. There will be plenty of non 10 clubbers with great seats, and 10 club can do nothing about that, all they can do is get the best thats available to them for their members.


    GREATLY MAGNIFIED at MSG, almost to the point of absurdity

    and EXACTLY RIGHT

    You'd make a lousy scalper, that's for sure ;)

    I appreciate the opportunity to buy the tickets early, but if good tickets come up on Friday I'll be left to wonder why they told us the ones coming up today would be the best behind 10c tickets.

    As a devoted PJ fan I have to come to the conclusion and both Ticket Bastard and PJ are making fun of us.

    From noon till now I have been trying to get tickets for msg 2.... first I get a wait of 12 minutes, after not hitting the browser i get a 'sorry tickets not available' message.
    I spent the next half an hour typing wacky tonishment - 21 pregnant - madrid colonials - chalkocsky sky - and all the stupid phrases that should prevent scalpers from getting multiple tickets (gimme a break....)
    and no luck.
    At about 12 29 i receive offers for SECTION 314. That's the last section on top, slightly behind the stage. Do they really think I have been a fan for almost 2 decades to sit there?
    What about the ten club promise 'seats right behind fan club members' ?
    How come pearljam.com cannot handle more than 300 people logged in at the same time (I don't think they sold 8000 available fan club tickets in 30 mins with the real presale....) ?
    How come this second presale cannot be done on pearljam.com where scalpers cannot buy multiple tickets ?
    (don't be naive and think that 'gardenofsea' was exclusive for us.... by now scalpers sign up for the ten fan club and go do their multipple orders as well).
    The cherry on the cake:
    enjoy stubhub's website that had tickets for sale before the ten club presale, and still does plenty, including from tenclub members, up to $ 19,000 per ticket.
    http://www.stubhub.com/pearl-jam-tickets/?event_id=602928
    Not even the dignity to post these after tickets go on sale to the general public.

    Sorry for the complain, but they actually managed to make more pissed than before, which I never thought could be possible.

    Was "gardenofsea" your password, cuz that wasnt mine.

    I have never been able to get loge seats for any pre sale, and today they were there. Thats the only thing thats unusual.

    Fact of the matter is that none of us really know the deal.

    You were lucky :)

    And if none of us know the deal, why lead us to believe these would be the best available seats after 10c?

    well then there's your problem.
    You don't understand, if you could have gotten a ticket in Sect. 314 then you did have a chance to buy it, but you chose not to.

    If you'd rather sit home then at least have the chance to be in the bldg to see one of the greatest bands in the world put on one of the greatest shows in the world, b/c the seat is not to your liking, that's your own decision, it's not that you couldn't get a ticket.
    and you said you haven't been a fan for two decades to get that seat.

    Henceforth it seems to me you think being in the fan club entitles you to a better seat.

    So let me get this straight, you GOT a ticket but it wasn't good enough for you?


    I am so over how people think their $25 gives them a sense of entitlement. They gave you a chance to buy tickets ahead of time, and you got one. What more do you want, a personal invitation engraved by all members of the band? Honestly.

    No, I want straight talk. If you tell me the seats going up for the presale will be the next best one after 10c tickets, I expect that to be the truth. I expect this presale to be different from other presales, where notoriously you often get crappy seats.

    But hey, unlike ruby I took section 314, and I'll be in!!! :D

    No wonder he missed out on all the floor and 100 level seats that stayed on TM for nearly 2 hours.

    I don't think 25 gives me a sense of entitlement. I think that when I see good seats sold on stubhub before tenclub members I get pissed.

    Well, you must not really have wanted to go so bad if you'd rather piss and moan in the forum for being shut out than see PJ in less than ideal seats.

    To me, the choice between "shitty seats to see a PJ concert" and "sit at home" is a no brainer. Hell, I'd probably even take the shitty seats over a beautiful day playing in glassy waist-to-head high surf. Gratefully, since PJ doesn't do daytime shows, that won't ever be an issue ;)
    Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I’m
    delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

    Because this is what they wrote in the email to members:

    The seat locations will be the next best seats behind the
    Ten Club

    well but maybe they WERE the next best ones they could get? There's no guarantee in that statement. You don't know all the particulars. I think you're taking it way too literal and also, forgetting how many people were trying to buy tickets and all the scalpers
    maybe at the moment you got to buy your ticket, that was the next best available

    I remember trying to buy tickets for Borgata online and they were literally all gone in 1 minute. I called up and they told me that.

    and by the way, your 314 will be better than you think 300s are closer than people think 200s are only like 10-15 rows

    Sadly, I know something about the 300s, seeing that my family (I'll share the blame :rolleyes: ) decided it was a good idea to celebrate our move to NYC by buying a package of knicks games :eek: and our seats are in section 333. I figure if I can see the basketball, I'll be able to see Ed jumping around.

    And Allie...if it turns out those really are the next best seats I will be sooo happy. If not, I'll be disappointed. A little, cause really, I am just happy I get to do this :)

    I just think you took it way too literal. There's no guarantee implied in that statement and there's no way to know. You know how things go down w/TM.
    at least you got in :)
    my friend got tickets for us to see Joel Osteen in October. The night before there was a floor seat I could have gotten :eek: but she already paid for my ticket ($10)
    when I got there I was like :eek: cause we were in the NOSE BLEEDS. I mean WAAAAY up top, it took us like 1/2 an hour to get up there! I don't like heights! Hee hee.

    But once you're in, you're in, it doesn't really dim the experience of being in the bldg for the show. It'll be all good. No worries, meme. If you don't get tix Friday, keep looking the days before the show. I got Yankee playoffs tix that way too. They dump tickets...
