One year I did both MSG shows, first night nosebleeds through Ticketmaster, second night 10C seats about 10 rows up right next to the stage. That was the night Ace Frehley came out and they played Black Diamond. Pretty huge difference...it would be an exaggeration to say it wasn't worth even bothering to attend the first night, but it's close.Bobcat10 said:

The die hard fans in those cities shouldn't be punished just because not enough of their neighbors also like Pearl Jam. I've waited 10 years for a show based on this logic while New Yorkers have probably had 25-30 opportunities to see them in that same span. Now, the math and the money make that so and I accept that, but if once a decade they decide to play for the fans they have down here, it's a bit selfish to indicate they should cancel and play more NYC appearances. This is coming from a former NY/NJ resident, as you know...

I was just riling you up GB. Obviously I dont think they should play 4 shows in NYC.

So if they didn't have this Jacksonville show (forget about New York for now), you wouldn't go to any of the other Florida shows (Mia, Ft. Laud, Tampa) if not all of them? I would think many "die hard" fans would have no issue doing that. I bust a nut when I see Pitt, Det, Columbus, Cincy, etc on the docket...which rarely includes Cleveland.
My buddy and I were actually texting today about this....he said no way they ever go to Jax, Raleigh or Columbia again. I thought that was a bit of a stretch to say "never", but I can sorta see his POV.
I think there is a method to this madness that I don't have knowledge about. Do they know people from NE Ohio, for example, travel to surrounding cities at a high rate over the years? Data could help them put together a hub/spoke type layout all over the country. How big of a factor is arena availability to fit the schedule they want? Was Charlotte or Atlanta not available on the date they wanted so they went to their next tiered city in the same geographical area?

I'm not going to the Jacksonville show. But I'm pretty sure there are more than a few "me"s in the Jacksonville area who wouldn't drive 5 hours to get to Miami, Tampa, or Georgia to see a show and this is pretty much the only chance they've got. I think they want to give everyone a chance (within reason) to see them once in a blue moon.
I don't get why they would do Columbia and Greenville instead of these. Didn't put in for 10C tickets because unsure if I'll make it.
Assuming they have all the data on hand from when everything went electronic, they would definitely be able to make some sort of assumption of the % of fans that travel based upon zip code from ten club registration and # of shows they registered for.
Also, they did sent out a survey this year and they asked things like "how far have you traveled for a show", "how far would you travel", etc.
The only thing that seems really weird is that they've basically ignored Houston (zero shows) and Atlanta (sans one festival show) since 2003. Those are 2 of the biggest cities in the country. There has to be a good concentration of fans there.

I just received confirmation for 2 reserved seats in Greenville. Odds were down near 50% so very happy to win that coinflip. We also booked flights for Jazzfest.
GLLL to the rest of you today.

If you're not selected for seats, do they tell you so or do you just not get an e-mail at all?

fenway was seperate. I think im putting in for that. Maybe make a trio of it. Wife and kids have never been to Boston.

I know its separate but I am so low I figured going for JUST Fenway would be good karma.

Confirmed for Raleigh and Columbia. I get to see PJ on 4/20, pretty sure that's a first.

That will change and you will get an email either way. I got the bummer email.

Just got it. Floor for Lauderdale and reserved for Miami. I pulled back my Tampa request b/c initial reports were that no one wanted to schlep out there on a Monday and I didn't feel like going out there alone and trying to sell a single ticket in the parking lot.Bobcat10 said:

Is there a pre-sale before they hit Ticket master? I have a buddy who wants to go to one of the S. Florida shows but doesn't have a fan club membership.

Really should have done Charlotte instead of Raleigh, like the rumors suggested. That's what they get.AcerFC said:

It's up to you. Looks like you got msg2. If you want to go with a friend I definitely wouldn't hold that against you. Are you only wanting to go to msg2?On Friday I'm trying for msg1 for sure. I have a buddy who I think wants to go, but he wouldn't go to msg2, he'd fly back on Monday. If I can only score a single, I'm just taking it, as msg1 is my preferred show because of work if I have to choose one. But if I'm there I can't imagine not finding my way to both.

Negative on that.Edit: to clarify-- thru 10c no. I have no idea if other pre sales exist. If they did I'm sure they would be well known.

Ya the Edge one was tough. I got my ticket through there though about 25 minutes into the presale. There weren't many/any doubles but seems like everyone I heard that got tickets through the EDGE sale was single tickets

Just got a single seat in section 103 way at the back. Will likely go stand with my friends though, just happy to have gotten a seat into the building. Good luck in 2 minutes.

Looks like MSG is done...not even singles coming up.
Acer, we meet on the 2008 or 2009 pre-shows with TU at the bar across the street from the Garden. Will throw my hat in the ring
