after u draw for your first choice,score or not,,for win your second,third choice,there must be left over tickets from other show that members had them as their first choice...
and that make it harder..
so now,seems,more local people will get tickets,cos they will put their town as number 1 and more different members will score tix..
especially at northeast and chicago
its a good thing..
for me ,i go to alot of shows ,isnt good,but its more fair more different members to score,so im more than ok with that

The only shows that truly sellout are New York, right?
So people "should" still be able to get tickets to as many shows as they want, right?
For the most part people only really need to worry about New York.

I will be a happy man.

Give EVERONE a shot at the 1st 20 rows.

Its a great idea, unless you are one of those people who have an imaginary relationship with Eddie Vedder, and MUST sit within the 1st 5 rows, or life will end! For those people its the worst idea since Coca-Cola changed the recipe and introduced "New Coke".

So when will we be able to do this again but with real shows?

Any guesses?

I hope Jan or Feb, but I'd bet just a little bit later. Maybe ending of March..

I don't know, but I hope soon....very soon. Hoping we get some announcement with dates in early Spring once the side bands are finished with their tours. Maybe a late summer/fall tour right when the new album hopefully drops.

I know one thing for sure, whenever the tour dates are announced, it's going to be a blast deciding which ones to go to and will start making travel plans!

High Fidelity 2000

Holy crap I just saw on the entry page that the AMEX logo is on there! That is awesome. How long have they been accepting Amex or is this a first? That will really come in hand when buying tickets, earning up those amex rewards points to buy airfare later on.

Question - if we put in choices for say 4 shows, and somehow get picked for all 4, but only end up being able to attend 2 or 3, can we cancel the remaining shows? Will there be any grace period between drawing notification results and cards getting charged, or will our cards get charged for all 4 at the time of drawing, and charges non-refundable?

Also, one suggestion: Please set up drawings to occur at least 60 days before show date, with results/notifications sent no later than 30 days before show date, so folks can get reasonable prices on airfare, hotels, car rentals, etc. if they end up having to travel outside of their hometown.

THANKS!

Yeah, I kinda figured that whatever show(s) you enter for, you had better be prepared to pay for and attend. I guess it would be too difficult to put unwanted/unclaimed tickets back into another drawing just because we wanted a better shot at tickets by entering multiple choices. Maybe they could implement a feature where you could have a cutoff if you won multiple lotteries beyond a certain point? Or perhaps a refund period of 7 days, then release the tickets to a one-time general 10C sale, then any leftovers back to public sale. Lots of options to look at...

credits?! if you cant afford to go to shows, do not put in for them. simple as that

i think you missed the point...

lets say i could afford 2 shows, but there are 6 shows that i would be ok with attending. under the current system, i put in for 2, and don't get drawn.....now i'm fucked. but if you went with the credit system, i can put mark all 6 shows, but will only get the first two that are drawn. makes a ton of sense if you ask me.

This is genius!!
10c please take notice?

This is a great idea. A lot of us are going to have make some pretty significant travel plans to attend more than one show this year, let alone one show. Let's just say that is the case, and we put in for 2 shows because that is our budget or most feasible....but don't get drawn for either - we're screwed. Sure, we can always go the TM route, but again, we would much rather have 10c tickets and not jump through more hoops if we alrady went through the process of making commitments and plans to attend certain shows through the 10c. Say we don't get drawn for the two shows we entered for, but were given credit to two others that we wouldn't mind attending, but in less demand. How you make that work or the process that is needed to make it happen, I don't know, but it's a thought.

Win Some Rare Merch!

To make this fun, we have included some rare hard-to-find merchandise items that will be given away during the test drawing. Once the drawing entry period has ended, the new ticket system will randomly draw one name for each of the 8 shows entered. Of those 8 winners, each will receive one of the merchandise items listed below assigned at random.
 


Mad Season re-issue 10” on purple vinyl (1 winner)

PJ20 12” on colored vinyl (2 winners)

Patagonia Refugio Backpack (2 winners)

Benaroya Hall Box set (2 winners)

Backspacer 12” on white vinyl (1 winner)


New Prize Added!


To up the ante, we have a very special prize for this faux show in particular. One participant will be selected to receive an original pennant that flew over the festival grounds at the historic 2-day Pearl Jam 20 event at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin (see photo of above). The vinyl pennant measures 5 feet wide by 7 feet tall in black and red and was designed by Jeff Ament. This is a special item that was made only for this event. This was never made available for sale, making it a true collectors item!
