Pearl Jam 2016 North American tour

[stip]

Ten Club is excited to bring you the official Pearl Jam 2016 North American Tour Announcement. Pearl Jam will perform a series of North American concert dates between April and August of 2016.


Pearl Jam’s 2016 North American dates kick off in Fort Lauderdale on April 8th, include festival headlining slots at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Bonnaroo and wrap in August with two nights each at historic baseball stadiums Fenway Park in Boston and Wrigley Field in Chicago (full list of tour dates below).




* All dates subject to change.

** Exact Pearl Jam performance date at Bonnaroo to be announced by the festival over the coming months.

*** Ticket sale dates for the stadium shows TBD. Ten Club will email pre-sale info to all eligible members in February. See eligibility info below.


A Ten Club ticket drawing is being held for eligible members for a chance to purchase pre-sale tickets to the above shows. For your convenience you have one week to enter before names are drawn. This drawing entry period opens today, January 19th and closes Monday January 25th at 10am Pacific. Names will be drawn throughout the day on Monday. 


Eligibility: 
Members active as of Monday, January 18th are eligible for this ticket drawing and the stadium shows pre-sale drawing in February. New memberships and membership renewals purchased after that date are not considered eligible for either ticket drawing pre-sale.
 
Members who were active on Monday, January 18th but whose membership lapses before the next drawing in February, will not be eligible for that drawing.

GA and Reserved Ticket Options:
 Eligible members may enter the drawing for both GA and Reserved tickets to any given show, but can only possibly be selected for one or the other.



GA (General Admission Standing) Tickets: 
There will be a GA pit in front of the stage at each venue taking up 1/3 -1/2 of the floor. Ten Club has acquired the entire GA pit for the fan club pre-sale drawing. Please know there are less GA pit tickets available in the drawing than there are reserved seated tickets. If you are NOT interested in standing for the entirety of the show, do not enter the drawing for GA tickets.
 


Reserved Seating: 
Reserved seated tickets are being held for the Ten Club in some of the best seat locations in the house, the majority of which includes the side sections in the 100 level as well as a very small amount of floor seats behind the GA pit. Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club. Remember: public seated tickets fall behind the fan club seats, so no matter your seniority, your fan club seats still put you at an advantage. There are more reserved seated tickets available than GA tickets for Ten Club members. 


ADA Tickets:
 For wheelchair accessible seating, DO NOT enter the drawing. Instead, please email tickets@tenclub.net with the subject “Disabled Seating.” There are a limited amount of ADA tickets available. There will be an offline ADA ticket drawing held for eligible members.



Odds Feature on the drawing page:
- Drawing entry time does not affect your odds of being drawn for tickets. You can enter the first day of the entry period, or you can enter the last day and have the same odds. Please take your time and read all of the info below before entering the drawing.


- This tool has been created to help members know which shows are in highest demand. Drawing odds do not guarantee tickets will be won or lost if entered for.



- Odds will change throughout the drawing entry period as members continue to enter the drawing. The odds will update every 5 minutes and will continue to update until the drawing entry period ends at 10am Pacific on Monday, January 25th.

- Each ticket option odds are calculated based on the number of entrants versus the number of tickets available.

- This is a random drawing. Since there is no preferential treatment given to anyone, all members will see the same odds visible, and every eligible Member has the same chance to be drawn for the same show.

- After entering, you may win or lose any given ticket type regardless of odds because the drawing is a random luck of the draw.


Drawing Rules:
- Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.

- There is no limit to the number of shows for which you can enter the drawing.



- Please only enter for the number of shows you are prepared to pay for and attend.

- By entering the drawing for any show, you are committing to purchase the tickets should your name be drawn. For example, if you enter for 10 shows, it is possible your name can be drawn for all 10 shows. *Exception applies to cities with two dates (New York and Philly).

- *Members can enter for New York and Philly shows, but can only possibly be drawn for one of the two shows in each city. We have a lot of members in those cities and we want to spread the love. For example, you can enter for both ticket options GA and Reserved for both Philly shows resulting in 4 total entries, but you can only possibly be drawn for 1 of those 4 entries.

- Members entering a drawing will have a $1 authorization held on their cards no matter how many shows have been entered. If selected for any shows during the drawing, this $1 authorization will become a final sale charge totaling the sum of the ticket prices of all the shows drawn.If not selected, the $1 authorization will be canceled and released back to your card.

- You may enter your name into the drawing for both GA and/or Reserved tickets to any given show, but can only be selected for one pair per show. You cannot be selected for both GA and Reserved tickets for the same show.

- Names will be selected for each ticket type taking your priority into consideration. But it is not guaranteed you will get your first choice.



- If you cancel your drawing entries, the $1 authorization will be canceled releasing the funds back to you. Please note that some banks do not make the funds available to you immediately upon cancelation, so check with your bank to make sure you have funds available before resubmitting a new entry.

The list of dates is not cutting and pasting into my e-mail, and the picture is broken on the 10c site. At least in my browser.

[stip]

MSG is 5/1 and 5/2, though, which I presume the only date that matters to everyone

I almost called him B.

[stip]

This can be in two places!

[stip]

I was going to link to the thread in live but there wasn't one.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I love how they have already announced the tour, and now the facebook pages announcing the tour all have the comments "please play vancouver". "come to portugal!". "What about Halifax?"

Umm, they just announced the tour. There isn't leeway, it is the tour. Quit asking them to play other places. Please.

[Norah]

Pearl Jam fans are the worst.

[LoathedVermin72]

these need to be MERGED

[Norah]

Nah. What needs to happen is the rumor thread needs to be used for rumors of additional dates/legs of this year's tour, while this thread is used for talking about announced dates. This thread should live in the main PJ Chat forum for now, and then moved to Live later for archiving purposes.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Pete gets it.

[LoathedVermin72]

then a lot of recent posts in the rumor thread should be moved here

[E.H. Ruddock]

then a lot of recent posts in the rumor thread should be moved here

yeah I know. I'll do it later if B or stip don't first.

[Rangi Guy]

Can we at least use spoilers for those of us who don't get the tour for another year or two?

[PHATJ]

I love how they have already announced the tour, and now the facebook pages announcing the tour all have the comments "please play vancouver". "come to portugal!". "What about Halifax?"

Please play Minneapolis/St.Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WaitingForBluey]

I might have to consider the 5 hour drive north to Boston for one of the Fenway Park shows. That's pretty freakin' cool plus I haven't been to Fenway yet.

Otherwise, see ya in Philly!

[southp]

How Montreal gets passed up for Ottawa and Quebec City is beyond me, but yeah, cool news.
