Same here.

Q: Do you still do seniority seating?
A: Yes. For Pearl Jam shows reserved seated tickets will still be assign based on seniority.
I tried for two shows in hopes of getting one and got them both, and I was kind of a little miffed about that.
I convinced myself to be excited because seeing the band in Philly and then in Hartford a week later was kind of a mini "following the band," something I used to dream about back in the day.
At this point, I had forgiven the Hartford 08 debacle when hundreds of 10 clubbers were left waiting in line through the opening act and PJ's first six or so songs (I got in at six and there plenty of folks behind me). Those things happen.
Anyway, the Philly and Hartford shows (2013) were good shows as PJ concerts go, but our seats sucked. We were close to as far back as you can be on the floor both nights. I am 6-5, so it's not too big a problem, but my wife if not.
In the end, I know it doesn't matter. My wife noticed I wasn't really into either show and I agreed. I stayed in the club for another year and quit. I didn't see the point. I've seen the band plenty of times, including some epic shows. The shows aren't all that different. I don't need to seem them again. I will miss the holiday vinyls. That's about it.
