The Acela crew shows up again.

It's pretty damn impressive that all but two of these shows will be able to accommodate everyone who requested fan club tickets.

I think it's cause Ticketmaster is handling it so in theory pretty much every reserved seat will go to Fan Club members (if needed).

Now, considering ticketmasters practices and monopolies, how does pearl jam get away with this? What kind of partnership happens for them to allocate so many to their fan club?

They can guarantee those seats and Ticketmaster gets to collect their $20 a ticket in service charges?

Well dont they have their hand in the secondary market? The show would sell out regardless of fan club tickets I assume.

Still no reported results.

Quebec City confirmations are coming in.

Looks like the confirmation does not say if you are selected for Reserved or GA. Those seat locations will be revealed on January 27th after the public sale. Ok, now I'm concerned about TM chicanery.

Oof, yeah, I don't like that.

I wish they'd at least tell us if we got GA or reserved, then they can tell us seat numbers later.

Yes, and if they assured fan club members that our reserved seats will be better than public sale seats.

Yeah, not a fan of that at all. Assumed we would get result of GA vs. Reserved based on the wording and logistics...

I only put in for QC, chose Best Available, and got confirmation email; doesn't say anything about general location, just that we'll find out week of January 27.

But no GA/Reserved info, right?

Nope.

AFAIK this has never been the case, not have they promised it. I've had public sale tickets in the middle of fan club sections.

Their "assurance" was always "some of the best seats in the house" or something generic like that. A 10C section is rarely, if ever, all 10C members anyway.

I couldn't get fan club tickets this time. I am relocating in a few weeks and with a new job coming too, i decided to see how the regular ticket market goes as the shows get closer. Haven't gone this way in a long time.

I did a single in the general sale in 2016 for Greenville and it was one of the best seats I've ever had at a PJ show.

It can happen. I've never done a verified fan public sale before, but buying tickets on Ticketmaster is such an incredibly stressful experience.

Correct, Ticketmaster makes the same whether they sell the arena out to Fan Club or to randoms.

I've had decent luck with buying through the general onsale. Decent in that it's gotten me in the building, but I've been in the top section, even when just grabbing a single. I attribute this to the fact that I've only done this at the Garden, which is always more difficult.

This was through the public on sale day of the show night 1 at MSG in 2016. First time sitting in such "Crappy" seats for a pj show but it turned out to be a very cool experience.

That would be distracting to me. I'd be watching all the behind the scenes stuff rather than focusing on the music and the band.

I'd zoom in on Ed's lyrics monitor.
