I'm sick of this goddamned club. The last three times (previous two tours and now this lottery) I have been denied tickets. It's about time they own up to the fact they play favorites.
Each tour I only hope to see the band once. I'm honestly not sure why I continue to remain a member.
How can things be fixed? Limit it to one show per member UNTIL the system recognizes every entrant as receiving one show. Then, cycle back through and allow people to get access to multiple shows.
Lost for Seattle. But was successful in last week's presale, so I'll be there anyway. Was just trying to help out family (also 10c members). Good luck everyone!
Same here. Lost via the 10club lottery but scored kick ass seats last week via the presale. Will be trying to help family & friends during the public sale this Friday. See ya November.
Great! I'd like to buy you a beer for that "pssst....1pm" thread you started. I wouldn't have been looking at my email for a presale password if you hadn't posted.
Thank you! Glad to of helped out.
Check the three of us old timers out. It's like we're getting the band back together.
Sweet!! Are you guy's going to the Seahawks game in the afternoon? Gonna try to get tickets to that game.

Sorry to say they don't play favorites at all, if they did I wouldn't have won considering I've been very vocal over the many years of being on here about this band and 10C. It's just the way the cookie crumbles. If you don't like it, you can either deal with it or don't be a member. This is how things work best for the fans and band and they will stay that way. People will always have extra's and you have the regular sale on Friday.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?

I might try for the Hawks game. Not sure yet.
I think I'll be keeping a bar stool warm downtown watching the game.

Ditto. That's fair. Bites to see people get multiple shows while others get none.
I agree on the multiple show thing. It could also be solved by having a single lotto per show (instead of two). The problem comes from people going GA Show #1/Reserved Show #1 losing against Reserved Show #2/Reserved Show #1. Do a single lotto and have a button to click if you want to be included in a random draw for GA tickets.
It wouldn't have helped out the ToTD draw as the tour was small and there weren't many tickets. I don't think anyone got a fill on 2nd round.
My concern is memberships via available tickets. Given that one of the best perks of membership is 10 tickets, is there a good ratio for how many members they should sign up vs. available tickets. I know they get more revenue the more people join the club, but there's so many people now, it seems like maybe that ratio is off.
I've done ok with the lotto. I'm 2/4. I pulled Vancouver 2013, lost Seattle 2013, won wrigley 1 ga, lost ToTD. ToTD is it's own beast, but your best odds of getting PJ tickets is going for reserved as your #1 pick. I'm more like Han Solo and say never tell me the odds, because I go for GA everytime (for #1 pick only), knowing it decreases my odds.
I don't think the lottery is that bad, we've just got a serious issue of way more fan members than available tickets. The lottery (except the aforementioned ga/reserved reserved/reserved bug) does a pretty good job stretching out the tickets. Demand far outweights supply.
I still think people in the NE US are blessed and cursed. All those shows to go to, but the populations out there are really big, and the cities are close together so it makes it easy for people to tour the shows. I've never been denied a Vancouver show, or an idaho show, or a portland show.. lol.. you guys need to come out here on the next western tour, and do a everything but seattle tour. You'll love it

Let me know if you have a bar recommendation for football. I'll be there at 10:00am.
Downtown bar for the football game might be the way to go. Game starts @ 1pm right?
Game starts at 1pm (1:25pm kickoff I believe), but you'll probably want to get somewhere early to get a seat. There are a few places downtown that I've seen games at that were pretty fun. I'm not sure yet where I'll be, but probably one of these: http://www.sportrestaurant.com/ (Chef John Howie's bar. Has 30+ tvs and good food. Near the space needle) http://www.yardhouse.com/ (right downtown, just a few blocks from Pike Place Market) http://95slide.com/ (this is actually on Capitol Hill about 9 or 10 blocks up the hill from the Paramount)

While all you peeps are watching football, this girl will be headed to the Chihuly Garden of Glass. And then maybe some notaslgic stops at some of those 90s iconic places ...

That wouldn't of helped today's presale at all. No one got more than 1 pair. It was an issue of demand far exceeding supply.
In regards to PJ tours. I don't think you can do cycling thing, because of the order the draw shows, and the order people choose their prefs. I think the draw in chronilogical order, so you wouldn't know what people might get on the last shows kind of thing. Seeing as most shows sellout in the early rounds, I think the best solution is single draw per show (with an option to enter a draw for GA tix). That prevent's people from using reserved/reserved to trump the ga/reserved people.
Most of the issues are with way more fan members than tickets though..... Nothing's going to fix that.

I went to the EMP Museum & Space Needle like a few times, and passed by the Chihuly Garden of Glass place many times but didn't get a chance to go inside. Will make sure to visit this November.
I can't wait to visit the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. All those Pearl Jam posters on display?
If I'm going to be in Seattle, I would like to do my bucketlist item of seeing a Seahawks game. Tickets look to be 200 to 250USD.. ugh... Probably going do it as I'm going to be there already... In all the concerts I've seen in Seattle this is the first one to line up nicely with a football game. Seen way too many baseball games
So for anyone who has won 10C seats before, how good are the seats really? Anyone with previous seats at MSG specifically
With a 139xxx number I was always under 20 rows from the stage on the floor. No clue now since cc and sound garden fan clubs also get tickets.
I'm a 176XXX and about the same seat distribution. It will be interesting to see. With the lottery, these numbers could end up closer than that, but it may be balanced by the fact that it is sharing with SG fan club.

I was pulling up way back of the floor through CC fanclub, but that was well after the Pre-sale started. The CC and SG fanclub were given the same password. Also I didn't get the email with the password from fanclubs until hours after the Pre-sale had started.

Wow, cc fan club had a pre sale, no lottery like we have here? Just a random block of seats?

Each tour I only hope to see the band once. I'm honestly not sure why I continue to remain a member.
You also have to remember that the Chris Cornell and Soundgarden Fan Clubs also did pre-sales. So, the available pool was even smaller for these shows.
