How hard is it to get tickets?

When the lottery period begins...
They'll post odds for each show / ticket selection (GA & Reserved)
This allows you to see which shows will be more difficult to score tickets.
You can change your entry until the lottery period closes.

You should get an email announcing the tour and information on how the lottery will work!!
Being on Facebook & twitter are good too,
you'll DEFINITELY see lottery info posted there!!

Also you get to choose between GA and reserved. Since you just joined your seats are going to be the worse that 10club has to offer if you go with reserved but they will still be good seats imo. You also have the option for GA which will get you up close to the band but is harder odds to win.

What do you think is better for position/odds? Would I be better off to go for one with better odds and still good positioning? or what is your opinion on that? And wont they probably be announcing their tour soon?

There will be a long thread with lottery questions when the next tour is released. Hang tight and when a tour gets announced you'll get all the info you could possibly want from people on here. Some is right, some is wrong. It basically comes down though to NY, Seattle, Chicago, Philly and sometimes Boston being highly sought after, and smaller markets being easier to get if you put them near the front of your list.

Agreed! So very many people here are happy to help out. 10c tix on the forum only sell for face, so that is also helpful for you to know.

It depends where you try to see them play. The Eastern part of the US (especially the Northern part) is pretty densley populated. Lots of big cities, all within driving distance of each other. Those are the hardest shows to get tickets for (and Seattle because everyone tries to go to Seattle). If you're going to New York and there's 10 million+ people in the area and they're only playing an Arena sized venue. Good luck. On the other hand if they're playing cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Portland, etc... with much smaller populations (and without too many big cities in driving distance) it's much easier to get tickets.

In the NorthEast US you've got two things going against you. The big populations, and the fact PJ tours aren't very thorough. Thus people from nearby population centres come to your city to see them play.

I was lucky enough to score Wrigley night two for face from another 10c member. 2 rows from the field. Great bunch of people here willing to help.

I agree bigger cities are harder to get. It helped this year that you could only win tickets to one show for Philly and NYC, giving more fans the opportunity to at least score tix to one show via 10C

Plus they played Stadiums in Chicago and Boston, both of which I don't think use TM, so not only did they play 40k+ seat venues, but they probably got access to a higher percentage of the venue for 10c seats than they would had the venue been controlled by TM. I'm not sure about the Boston show's, but I didn't hear of too many people that got shut out of both Chicago shows. The 2nd show was in less demand (as lots of people put in for the weekend show). Friend of mine got Night 2 tickets but he had night 1 as his first choice (meaning the demand was low enough, that people got night 2 tickets even if it was 3rd/4th choice). That's pretty good for a show taking place in an area that has about 11 million people (plus everyone I met in the pit didn't seem to be from Chicago.. lol).

I have never not got tickets to a PJ show that I wanted to attend, and I've never paid over face value. Don't sweat it.

Just don't have my luck...



That's real... cursed by living in NY though haven't had luck when wanting to travel either.

Ya I'm also 0 for 17 on the new system since 2013. Not a fan.

CopperTom

Win or lose, I love the lottery. It beats taking a day off of work to F5 all day. 10 of 13 with lottery. I was 19 of 20 with F5.

I did not miss a single show in 15 years with F5.

Those who tried longest got in. Way better in my opinion.
