    do you have to enter both lotteries for a chance to win? I did one of them, do I need to do both??

    End of seniority system?

    "Tickets for seated shows will be assigned based on seniority"

    Yeah but it looks like you only get to have Ten Club tickets for one show per tour. That's why they are ranked by preference.

    That's not true at all. What it means is that in high demand areas like NYC, it will be hard to get multiple nights if there is enough demand to fill the 10C allotment for those nights with first choice selectors.

    In many other cities, 10C tickets have taken days to sell out or not at all, in those cases, you will get tickets even if it is your 10th preference down.

    Some shows will have very few members making it their first choice (example a show in New Mexico) and others will have more people making it their first choice than can get tickets (MSG). This will introduce strategy into properly ordering your selections to maximize your chances for the most number of shows.

    Can't wait to read the review in Rolling Stone after the show: "Pearl Jam Rocks Uranus"
    Saw a headline that made me think that show was cancelled, 'Pearl Jam Pulls Out of Uranus'.
    And of course the headline when they cancel on the day of the show:

    "Pearl Jam pulls out of Uranus at the last minute and leaves a big mess."

    and all of the complaints from fans that didn't get tix...

    "I got shut out of Uranus!"

    I wasn't a big fan of the lottery system but at least this would seem to improve it a bit. Allthough the old system was frustrating I'd never gotten shut out of a tickets, so thats why I'm not a big fan of the lottery.

    That being said I ranted quite a bit about how they should do preferences so I'm fairly stoked to see thats the direction they're going. It would seem a shame to shut out fans that might only be seeing 1 or 2 shows for a tour so that someone can see their 20th. I didn't like geographical restriction because PJ tours are pretty small now, so it would block out alot of fans too.

    So I'm please with this turn of events. Hopefully I don't get shutout. I usually try and see the Seattle & Vancouver shows... Seattle ones are always the harder draw.

    One draw entry per show. So maximum 8 entries. That's how I read it, anyway.

    Yay!! Super excited about this new system. It seemed to run really smoothly. No major issues really, just had to re-login to the forums. AND Happy Birthday to me - I checked the status on my merch order and it says warehouse...so hopefully I get it fairly soon! 2013 is thus far, awesome. :D
    Its good to be back!!

    Hm, I didn't get a confirmation email. But the tix show up in "my tickets". I changed my "order" three times to test the boundaries, does that mean I am out of the drawing or do they send the confirmation mails piece by piece? I don't wanna miss a chance to win a Benny Hall :shifty: Good luck to all!

    First off good idea to test the system before an actual on sale. Second awesome they are rewarding people to test the system when they know that we would all be happy to do this for free just to make sure it worked.

    I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts that we can now select shows with priority (first choice, second etc). I'm wondering how this will effect availability for tickets on a large tour versus just a small tour. Also I hope that they would announce entire legs at a time to make sure that everyone had the most amount of choices for priority of shows.

    I was able to use this system tonight (just now) very easily.

    If purchasing PJ fan club tickets was as quick as this, I'd like it! :)

    this is really cool and exciting, but at the same time i can't help but feel sad because i live in new mexico and i have strong doubts about them wanting to tour here. i can't afford to travel to any states around me. i want to be excited about a 2013 tour but i have a feeling they won't come here and if they do, that's probably the only way i'll see them.

    being a kid and living in new mexico sucks, to be honest.
