I bash TC from time to time, but they deserve praise on this!

While the site was bouncing people in mid-transaction for 45 minutes (me included), them having the Buy button still up even now at 1:30pm for the most popular show this year has mostly to do with them securing the extra tickets.

KUDOS TEN CLUB!! :)
ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    i agree - the extra time to announce these shows was clearly worth the wait - awesome. kind of hard to believe that Comcast allowed so many fan club tickets for the last show ever at the Spectrum (unless they change that) but i for one am very thankful.

    Good point. I wouldn't be surprised if these were some pretty difficult negotiations. This is Philadelphia's show just about as much as it is PJ Nation's show...

    Thanks 10C!

    I just learned that if you listen to Eddie Vedder - Tuolumne before you try to purchase tickets....

    it will relax you and help with the frustration to come :)

    Isn't it based on seniority? What's your number? I guess you have to consider how far back you usually sit, then add a bit because less people got shut out and then figure out how close you are to the back of the usual allotment.

    ohhhh is that how they do it? as i understood it was that the 10c presale went on as normal, then once those certain # of tickets were used up the following purchases were public seats?

    I was bugging out from 12 - 1245 and I thought there was no way i was getting a pair of tix but they must have gotten a lot of extras.

    Kudos and much gratitude to PJ and the 10 club for making this happen. Thanks for this opportunity and for helping make me the coolest mom in town, at least in my son's mind.

    I was wondering the same thing so I e-mailed Ruby's Dad and got this as an answer:
    All of the tickets that members get will be ten club tickets. It's just that after our usual allotment- let's just say the first 60 rows, plus some on the sides- the 10c seats will be interspersed with seats that are on sale to the general public. Not sure if this is a clear way to explain it.

    it was sooooo stressful for me and my brother, and a couple friends for about 45 minutes...when all of a sudden the angels allowed our carts to be checked out! as for the previous posts about extra allotment or regular allotment, i don't care....i'm in the door baby! 3 out of 4 on 10c seats for philly...ain't too bad. general public tix will have to do for oct. 30.

    Yes, it's possible that the band offered to take a lower percentage for the 10/31 show in order to get more fan club seats. Otherwise I can't imagine why Comcast, a for-profit outfit, would just let us take over the house, at the risk of offending local customers who would like to see the last show at the Spectrum. Anyway, kudos to 10C for doing this and the hotel thing.

    OR maybe they just said "we'll play two more shows (making the venue more money), but only if we get more tickets for TC members".
