UPDATED - THURSDAY 23rd - 9.30AM


It was brought up in the main thread Shepherds Bush thread in The Porch that we create a random drawing of those with spare tickets to be allocated to those who did not succeed in getting them through any other means.

This thread is designed to match up those who have spares, with those in need, in the fairest way possible.

I have removed the number system that was in place, it doesn't really help anymore, as everyone on the 'wanting tickets' list is now in the same situation

This lottery is designed for 10C members, who tried and failed to get tickets, so after the draw, any buyer of ticket(s) should be able to provide the seller the confirmation email of entering the 10C presale, as well as the HMV, if requested by the seller.

This ticket lottery is, like the official 10C one, open only towards those in the UK and Ireland.

The idea of this lottery is to get tickets in the hands of fans who deserve it for the original price, so all tickets available from sellers are to be at FACE VALUE.



These are the people wanting tickets after the presale, 10C lottery, and general sale....

bold name = confirmed that they are still in need of a ticket after the general sale.

* would like two tickets, if any are available.

This list is now closed, no more names will be added to it. It has been decided over the course of the thread that closing it after the general sale on Thursday 23rd was the fairest method of allocating the few spares with the numerous fans wanting tickets. Apologies for any disappointment



SPARE TICKETS

PLEASE refrain from PMing or begging those with spare tickets directly. Were trying to allot tickets in the fairest way possible.

PLEASE start sending more spares this way, there is currently 3 spare tickets, and 77 fans wanting tickets.

The lottery, at the moment is set to be drawn on Thursday 30th July, a week after the general sale, giving us a week to get spares available

On this date I will write down all of the names on both the 'wanting tickets' and 'have spare tickets' lists, put them in two separate hats/containers/whatever I can find, and pull out at random two names from each hat and match them up. This seems currently to be the fairest method. I will film myself doing it and put it on YouTube to show you all. After this, the sellers and buyers can get in contact with each other and organise a sale/where to meet each other the day of gig.

If you have any ideas/changes to this system please mention them. Please understand I am only trying to help fans.

  • I think this is a great system and very fair! I have been trying to think of something ever since I suggested the lottery but couldn't devise anything so I take my hat off to you :-) Nice one! ;)
  • Thanks! sorry if I stole your idea lol.

    After the email gets sent out tonight, if those I've added to the list start posting the number category they fall into, then it will help to get the system going.

    If anyone has any amendments to this idea please feel free to suggest them.

    Sounds good, I started thinking of something but your system seems like it would work well. I'll be happy to help if necessary!

  • Thanks, if it works it will be good.

    At least this thread is a list of those in need, and those with spares anyway.

    If we go ahead with the random draw then we will have to devise a method to fairly randomly draw the spares with those in need, but we can sort that out at a later date.

    Grand idea. Ames_downstroke, please add me to your list and I'll do as necessary on Thursday.

    Cheers

    brilliant, well done on putting this together, if I have spares I guarantee they will come right here
  • I'm really glad you came up with something so organised - it's a brilliant and very fair plan and I think will work really well :) You should be first on the karma list for luck with tickets :))

    LOL - but we must remember to take our names OFF the list if we, by some miracle, win the 10c lottery.

    Look at us and our nice community - just goes to show some bands really do bring people together!
  • How can I add my name to this list of tks wanted? I would need 2 (1 for hubbie). I am in the 10c lottery so fingers crossed for tonight but lucked out this morning with the HMV waste of space presale. I only want seated tickets as I will be 8 months pregnant on August 11th. If I do get lucky in the 10c lottery then I'll be looking to swap with someone who got seats today in the HMV presale who wants standing. What a palarva.

    Keeping everything crossed,

    Biddy xx
  • Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm just trying to makes this the best gig it can be by trying to keep tickets with the fans and away from scalpers.

    Thanks, this whole idea obviously depends on people sending spares this way, so it would be great if we could get as many of the desperate fans on this list to the gig.

    But yeah, good luck for all with the lottery!

    I'll add you to the list now! If you win in the lottery ill take you off the wanting tickets list but leave a request for a swap from someone in the main post. Congratulations on the baby!

    Please add me to the list. If I'm lucky in the lottery I'll offer up my spare here. If not I'll be trying my luck in the general sale, again the spare would come on here.
    The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits
  • :) Awesome

  • I know this is a looooooooong shot but I know someone who needs a spare.

    He's a really good friend of mine, at tenclub member (posts here - 'dave grolsch') who tried but failed at getting tickets. If someone would like to do me a favour and consider your spare (should you get them) I would be eternally grateful, as would he :)
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
  • Ok, I'm going out for a while now, keep posting names and I'll update the main post in a few hours.

    Again, good luck with the lottery people.
