Lottery: Does it need a home show priorty?
So I got to thinking that I may not get to see the show in Moline despite having grown up in the Quad Cities (my Dad still lives there) due to the high ticket demand. Wondering if people thought the lottery needs to have some geographic preference metric. It seems depressing to have locals who have never experienced a show there to displaced by everyone in Chicago.
I currently live in KC so it wouldn't benefit me in any way, but I bet a lot of people are going to be bummed.

How would they determine where you live? I can go change my 10C address to anything I want right now. Billing address wouldn't really work because people don't always use their own cards.

I don't really think it's fair for fans who are forced to travel to not be have access to 10c tickets.
10c probably wouldn't do it because they would lose out on a lot of subscription fees from people that live in places that PJ never tours.
The problem is that PJ doesn't do enough shows and people have to travel great distance to see them. Petition the band to play tours of reasonable size, not to prevent other 10c member from seeing the band
I share the OP's concern. After traveling a fair amount to see PJ, I might get shut oit in my hometown Denver. That's not right.

Why does living in a particular city equate to being given preferential treatment for tickets?
This conversation seems to crop up everytime PJ tours and locals observe that the tickets in their city are in high demand...
The fact is that PJ has a large touring fanbase because they have been playing very few dates/year the last 8 years or so... people are going to travel to see them, it's the culture the band themselves has created by their touring patterns.
Putting in a clause like you state above makes no sense with the culture they've created. You want to piss off a lot of your own fanbase?
Further to this... people always find a loophole...
11+ years an counting without a show in the 4th largest city in the country, where I live... and you're telling me that now you deserve priority to a show in your town because I've got to spend my $ to get to your town, buy food, accommodations, etc, etc, and you're more entitled because you can sleep in your own bed?

Then the hometown that is in your profile when shows are announced cannot be changed. Simple. Much like how you have to be a member the day before the tour is announced.

having to choose a home town/city would still really only increase the chances of those in the non-traditional PJ cities of scoring tickets to their hometown shows. it wouldn't help the northeast cities at all because demand would still outweigh supply

However I'd have to agree that for general purposes, every single show, it would be a nightmare. Plus, it does give a leg up to the much loathed scalpers. And what would happen if you move? You need to submit proof of address to the 10c? No, the criteria alone for designating a hometown venue for every single member then maintaining that database.... nightmare.

I choose my hometown city as Toronto.
Glad we got that settled.
Although members are not guaranteed tickets, they are given the best chance at the best seats via a drawing, before the public on-sales.
Anyway, I don't see why you wouldn't get to see the Moline show. There are other ways to get tickets outside of the 10C lottery. There is literally no reason you can't get a ticket to the show one way or another.
