anybody ever get decent tikets to see pearl jam without being a member of the ten club?

I've got tickets in 100's section couple of times for their shows in VA.  Never floors though.
Oh yeah, not 10 member.

For DC shows usually near the front on the floor, when I saw them in Canada several years back they were very good

They have added a GA section on this tour

Wow, first time in a long while I think.  Previously floors had seats.

last time they played verizon i got a low row (E? D?) of section 101, and i was a very recent joiner of Ten Club… like the day the tour was announced, or just before.

the floor was all seats.

when they played verizon . . . i got row a of the 100s, middle of arena.  and im not a member.  but ticketmaster is my bitch, so let me slap that ticketmaster ass some more.

That last PJ show at the Verizon Center unfortunately was one of the worst sounding shows I ever attended. I remember not being able to hear any instruments in the mix, just noise.

hard to get too excited about "Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club"

its all rather macabre seeing how many have died.. but without Ruben,, Ibrahim and Compay, arguably the three more charismatic "members", I don't know what to say..

i probably shouldn't say this but i'm betting tickets to see pearl jam in c-ville will be easier than baltimore…who is going to make the trek to c-ville on a tuesday? true, school should be in session but how many ten club members can there be in c-ville? not to mention the ten club doesn't work quite as well as it used to (its apparently not a guarantee any more.. more like you get access to a lottery)…

i would make the trek to cville on a tuesday.  closer than bmore for me . . . and who doesnt love cville on a tuesday evening?

Wait you saw Pearl Jam??????? 

I might do the pearl jam show in cville.  I'm just not a big fan of that arena.  Hey kosmo is the whole tour GA floors?  I can't tell with cville or baltimore

well I meant who other than me will make the trek to C-ville

;D

my problem is I live in Arlington which means I have to slog through 66…

all tickets are $80 all in … it seesm like?

my understanding, could be wrong, is that there is a pit.. not the whole floor

sixty six is the greatest road ever.  you know what rules?  driving on sixty six before a show, listening to awesome music before you get there.  i sometimes wonder if listening to the band you are going to see on the way to the show, is stupid.

i know someone who refuses to listen to the band before the concert… so whenever we go with him to concerts we can't do it… he's really uptight about it.. hopefully he won't see this comment  :D

personally i like to rock out to the band i'm going to see…

I can understand not wanting to but being anal about it is stupid.

Im taking a shot at the Brooklyn shows.  That sounds like a fun weekend to me.

you're coming from the wilds into civilization, so yeah driving 66 is great.

coming from the evil city and trying to make it to the boonies during rush hour (AKA right before most shows start) is an absolute nightmare.  i've missed good potions of concerts because i was parked on that road to hell.  66 is one of the reasons i won't go to nissan/lube/bristow shows any more.
