    Any chance of moving all of the 'roll call' threads to the Given To Fly page? (it does include 'convergence news' in the GTF description after all) There are so many in The Porch (along with all of the lottery-based threads) that they've taken over from all of the other ramblings.

    Just curious how they should do it if not a lottery ? How else could they give people an equal shot at tickets

    We don't want an equal shot, we just want to get tickets to the shows we want to go to , of course! :p

    Bad form on Toronto Night 2. Clearly, the powers that be knew about this show, yet it was kept secret. No lottery, GA tickets sold through TM. The irony burns.

    I got lucky enough to hit Night 2 by trying for tickets in that magical window where the show was available but not yet announced. That shouldn't be the only way to get decent tickets, especially GA tickets.

    No one likes the lottery but at least it gives 10c people a CHANCE at scoring tickets. Now, everything save for a lucky few are in the hands of brokers. And that's not right.

    agreed. I usually don't agree with policing the forum, but it's getting a bit stupid.

    I've been reading up a lot on the state of Merchandise sales so I felt that even though the people making the business decisions are more qualified to make said decisions than me, I figured to at least say I tried mentioning something.
    A few people have come up with good ideas on how to make easier the sales of show merchandise. Ideas mentioned are to have a bundle with a poster, pin, sticker, shirt, or some combination of those available to 10c members who won 10c seats to the concert. There could be a stand or window inside the venue where presenting the actual hard 10c ticket allows you to purchase your bundle. There could even be a limit of 1 bundle per pair, or not depending on demand. Also, to make processing even timelier, these bundles could be paid for in advance online, so all that's required is to show up and collect your stuff. It was mentioned that those who didn't win 10c tickets should have the chance for Merchandise as well, so perhaps 10c entrants who lost could be given a code or barcode to print and bring entitling them to a bundle if there are extras with or without guarantee of availability. This also would reduce further the lineup at the red bus or other vending areas.
    Whether or not the bundle idea sticks, I do believe a significant amount of the merchandise (especially items like posters and one-off shirts which we know get flipped for a tremendous price online) should be sold inside the venue at multiple locations in the concourse. I get that there are fire-safety regulations against having massive lineups inside a concourse, but having a bus outside open for anyone to purchase items is such an easy avenue for items to be flipped by people trying to make a quick buck. All that said though I understand totally that inside-only stands would cut down on total revenue of the goods which is not good for business - and let's not be naive - merch sales are ALL about business.
    I do believe the experience of being at the show trumps any piece of physical memorabilia and I am extremely grateful that every bootleg is available to everyone making that a sure fire piece of merchandise you can buy at any time. But, if there happens to be a poster or shirt I particularly like, I don't feel I should have to strategize my day around waiting in line, especially when there is a chance the items I'm after have been scooped up by a legitimate fan or not in the meantime.
    Essentially - I do think there is room for improvement in the way merchandise is made available to fans and I don't think it's an overwhelming notion either. Whether this gets read or not, I just wanted to put it out there and at least say I gave my opinion!

    One way they could do it so that more people get tickets. Only allow 1 ticket per member. That would double the amount people on 10c that recieved a ticket. But that would piss people off too.

    Or at least offer a single ticket option?

    With all due respect Jug: how did you FORGET to enter the lottery? (Man, that sucks that you did, for whatever reason)
