    if they just pop up there, every one will have a much better shot of getting them- if there is a particular time slot for each show then the board will crash and then comes the bitching. Well, I guess there will be bitching regardless

    Yeah, the schtick is getting tiresome. It gets old scrambling to see if I can make travel reservations, get time off of work, get a hotel, and then getting tix. Not everyone on here is a jobless kid (or adult ;)) with nothing else to do. Make the announcement and give people a chance to get their shit together.

    I can't believe some people complain about the 10C system, you realise the alternative is a seetix/gigsandtours/ticketmaster free for all pre-sale right?

    you have a better chance of getting tickets anyway if they go on sale immediately rather than setting a date+time.

    This isn't true for some people though. If they can't monitor this board for whatever reasons and tickets go on sale, they are out of luck. If it is announced that they will go on sale on a specific day, at least they will have a shot.

    No matter what, 10c is in a lose/lose situation. People will cry they went on sale as soon as they were announced. People will cry that they were announced a head of time and the site crashed. They will cry that the 10c does not call each member peronally to announce the sale time. The email announcement is too slow. The email did not get to them. They can't get off work. They can't get out of school. They have a prior engagement. They will cry that tickets are not hand delivered to them by a band member.

    Really, I just hope 10c does what they feel is best. I do hope they announce all the US 2009 dates at once though.

    agree. i dont care if they announce WHEN the tickets go on sale. i would just like to have time to decide which show im goning to scramble for when the do go on sale. announce the tour dates, give us time to decide where we can travel to , then throw throw the tickets up there anytime you want.
    that at least lets me look at a calendar and travel times and distance and crap like that. oh yeah, it lets me look at my bank account too !

    whatever, with that being said, i am happy with all the 10C does for us. i would just like more than a split second to decide where i'll be driving 100's of miles to so i can see my favorite band.

    good luck everyone.

    thanks 10C
    Peace, Love.

    Dead-on. My preference, as I've stated before, is to go the route they did for EV's tour this time around, with a window of time during which people can 'pre-buy' their tickets, and then their cards will be charged once they do the lottery on their end. I really think that was one of the most fair methods they've had. It'll be interesting to see whether they do this differently than the Chicago or Toronto shows.

    ya know, i completely agree. that was such a non stressful way to try for tix, and sure....it's all luck of the draw. quite honestly, trying for tix is always luck of the draw, do you get shut out, does the site crash, do you get booted off, etc, etc. tho i would definitely want the opportunity to try for more than one show, even if overall there was a one show limit. tho who knows, it all could be a logistical nightmare for 10c. perhaps that is why they've embraced this immediate sale culture, tho that has it's own issues as well. i far prefer some notice, time to decide my paln of action, know all the dates coming up, etc. i also really liked the seating lottery for 4 rows, that was a nice chance for all.


    bottomline, 10c's gonna do what 10c's gonna do....and i am happy to at least have a shot at tix. i am here often enough during my workday, but you bet...it would suck if it all went down while i was commuting home, or at lunch, etc, etc.....thus why i like a wee bit of notice. :D
    Stay with me...

    In my opinion that is a TERRIBLE idea. We aren't dealing with 2,000 seat venues and 10C allocations of around 150 pairs of tickets. There's no need for a lottery. For the Ed shows, it was a great idea, as it was for the Borgata shows in 2005.

    The only difference is the size of the venues, but I'm having trouble figuring out why it's such a bad idea with a larger venue - after all, wouldn't this just mean that less people would theoretically be shut out in comparison to the EV tour?
    Unless I'm missing some obvious fact here, that is.

    I remember when PJ played the Astoria. I literally checked the site (albeit not the forum) every day for six weeks for UK dates. The one day I couldn't get to the site, tickets had been and gone which I was gutted about. When 10c put the Wembley 07 dates on sale, the system kept crashing at all the time and only a post from the legend that is GREGMAC666 gave us all a link to get through to eventually buy them. When they announced the 02 gig though, I checked the site on the off chance and the tickets were there straight away, which was awesome as I didn't even know a tour was planned. For the big venues with general admission, I think putting the tickets up to 10c members straight away is ok but the the smaller/seated venues, many people will miss out which is a real shame.

    However it works, you can't satisfy everyone but 10c do their best to accomadate everyone. At least we get that opportunity, many bands don't even do that.
    :D Rock on!!!! :D

    Wait, people sit in the goods section and just refresh for days on end? Who has that kind of time?! Jesus, announce when you put them up, that should be the ONLY way to do it.

    People are advocating just throwing them up there?! Please, get a job, or actually do the one you're being paid to do.

They will cry that the 10c does not call each member peronally to announce the sale time. The email announcement is too slow. The email did not get to them. They can't get off work. They can't get out of school. They have a prior engagement. They will cry that tickets are not hand delivered to them by a band member.

    Really, I just hope 10c does what they feel is best. I do hope they announce all the US 2009 dates at once though.
    Dead-on. My preference, as I've stated before, is to go the route they did for EV's tour this time around, with a window of time during which people can 'pre-buy' their tickets, and then their cards will be charged once they do the lottery on their end. I really think that was one of the most fair methods they've had. It'll be interesting to see whether they do this differently than the Chicago or Toronto shows.

    The drawback to this method is it was still a lottery. Many of us "ordered" immediately only to be shut-out. At least you knew you were shut-out before tix went up to gen. public!
