    The odds are completely opposite to the European tour...all the GA were near enough guaranteed and the seating was much more unlikely 
    GA is the full floor in Europe so there is way more availability. Most of us like to stand so 10c only secures a limited number of seats. Hence the odds are opposite to USA.

    Anyone that thought they would fill the GA with as many applicants as they could get needs to give there head a shake. GA is the size it is going to be. Reserved is where they said they were going to be able to add more seats further back then ever before.

    This^
    The GA odds were always going to be lower. If you want to go, you can get reserved tickets but that wont satisfy a lot on this board

    I go to hear music not see it, so as long as I have a good spot to listen from I am happy.  To be sure even to me those spots are limited.  My hope is I win GA for Wrigley, but I assume that if I don't win GA, odds are my number is putting me in the front of the B section on the field which is good.

    I read it as saying most everyone who tries for tickets will get tickets, provided they are willing to sit in reserved seats. And that some fulfillment of requests will be done through the Verified Fan process. I don't think anyone could have realistically expected that all GA requests would be filled.
    There are still people who think seniority determines if you secure tickets. Believe me, there are people here who think 10club has enough tickets to fulfill most if not all requests, regardless of where they entered.  I mean, have you seen some of the questions being tossed around here?
    Good point.

    A concert for me is the combination of hearing and seeing. 

    If I just want to hear it I will buy the bootleg.

    Just saw someone on Facebook who is wondering how they will get tickets when the numbers are at 30%.  Wonders because it’s now the 10club rule they will accommodate most if not all requests.  It’s happening.....

    It doesn't say they will accommodate most GA requests.  GA is only so big.  Choose reserved and you will be in the building.

    I’m fully aware of the wording. This thread was made in anticipation of the people who don’t, and will be pissed when they miss out.

    This thread is making me think maybe I should enter after all! I'm am indeed a "GA or bust" person for this one, and the lower the GA odds are, the better it feels for me, since I can't really afford to win. :lol: Before I was thinking of it almost as a sure thing, but if the odds are going way down, maybe I should leave it up to fate after all!
    Alright, I pulled the trigger. I put in for GA Standing for Seattle 2, and that's it (will be swapping my spare for night 1). Now luck will decide if I'm going to be financially irresponsible or not! :tongue: ... Unless I change my mind and cancel. :anguished:


    well done... let karma and fate duke it out!

    93% for Boston 1 and 99% for Boston 2 are by far the best odds we've ever seen for Northeast shows. However it plays out from here and fully understanding I may get stuck in the 7% that misses out on Night 1, 10c has done a helluva job here securing tickets. Credit where it is due. This is going to be a great summer!

    I m thinking they got close to 20,000 tickets per show. Nice job indeed.

    100% "GA or Bust" and proud if it!  If I win its a bucket list PJ destination experience. If not I save a ton of loot and listen to the bootleg on PJ Radio waiting for an East Coast tour.

    Those that could only travel to one show, either chi2 or bos1, have a gripe

    No way they could fulfill every ga request. That's not fair to TC

    Bos1 will be much closer to 70% when the draw is done. Bos2 is midweek right when school starts. For many in the east, its bos1 or bust. As usual, the show allotment doesnt match where the majority of fans live - NE.

    It's a nice job getting most inside, but baseball stadiums by design have very few fans close to a CF concert stage.

    I think this might have to be my strategy due to having already spend alot on euro dates. But if i get nothing.... aaaaaah!

    I *really* want to take credit as the guy who bought buck "all those beers" at Wrigley 1.

    And even at 70% it would still be the best odds we've seen for a major Northeast city. That's more than 2/3 of 10c members who tried for tickets accommodated with the Verified Fan and public sales still to come.

    Given too, that not all people who picked boston 1 picked as their first choice..  If it hovers around 90%, the 10% who miss would probably be the ones who picked another show first?

    I wonder if there’s any chance Boston 2 doesn’t sell out because of this. Probably not, but interesting timing to have a show.

    I thought the same thing. But then four words entered my mind:

    Pearl
    Jam
    Northeast
    Concert


    A definite sellout ;-)

    I still don't understand Boston being Sunday/Tuesday... I don't have kids so I don't care, but Tuesday after Labor Day has to be the worst date ever for a travelling fanbase... they must have gotten a good discount, otherwise why not play Friday/Sunday or Saturday/Monday?

    Only thing I can figure is Fenway has another act booked Saturday that hasn't been announced yet.
