    Would love to go to Seattle, but damm hotels are pretty expensive
    How is this a special rate ?theses places are way out of my price range i usually stay in hostals when traveling how about some info or special rates. Cheaper hotels or hostals on the workingman wage .and please play some Midwestern shows.
    I'm sure they did the best they could. It's not like any hotel is going to want to lower rates or set aside rooms for them when every hotel in the city is going to easily sell out at jacked up rates. Those hotel people know a sure thing when they see it. The fact that 10C managed to broker anything at all with a couple of hotels for a group booking is already more than we should expect.

    Yup, between summer rates and shrinking availability I'm sure they did what they could. Summer rates in Seattle are nutty (and I'm from here). My wife and I stayed at Hotel Max in Nov. 2016 for TOTD just so we could party,  walk to the show, and not have to worry about driving home. It cost us about $100 for the night. We looked at the same room for this summer's show on the 10th and it was about $409. Yikes.

    Yes
    There will be an announcement on here with all the pertinent information and shortly thereafter an email will come to you with all the same info and related links.
    Any questions or concerns you have will more than likely be asked repeatedly on here in multiple threads and you'll find all your answers then as well.

    How much of the field is going to be GA? Thinking about buying a membership for my wife so we can potentially score 4 tickets together in GA but I don’t even know if that’s possible. Really wish I knew before I blow $20 on a membership. 

    I know now hotels are a hot subject, I booked the Moore Hotel a few days ago. It’s a nice hotel only 1.5 miles from Safeco and I got a room with 2 Queens for only $159.
    We don't even know if they will have a GA yet. It is a gamble that I would take. It is just 20 bucks. 
    Think they’ll allow you to enter the lottery if you join 10C after the announcement? I sure hope not
    Yeah, no kidding. That wouldn't be fair at all. People in other threads said they've been telling all their friends to join after yesterday's big announcement, so I hope that won't come into play when lottery time rolls around.
    Eligible as on 1/23/18

    I am trying to enter the 10 club drawing but it is not letting me check whatever box I need to after reading the terms, which I have done after clicking the link to the terms.  Any hints??

    I guess the rules changed this time. Kind of disappointing that people who signed up after the announcement are eligible.

    Never mind.  I see.  Drawings are not open until the 7th.

    Based on PJ's notes, do you think it's safe to say a Ten Club member will get tickets to a Seattle show (can only attend the 1st one)? I want to book a flight but...well, you know.

    No guarantees but it looks like there will be plenty of tickets to go around. If it was me and I wanted to go and there was a good seat sale for a flight I would book it in a heart beat. Prices are only going to go up.

    Same here.  If you lose 10C drawing, go for ticketmaster.  I doubt you'd miss out on all tix.

    So I am super confused. Is this "verified fan" presale registration through ticketmaster a seperate thing from 10 club lottery? Why didnt I get an email update about this? So much confusion...help!

    Seattleite here...I agree on the West Seattle accomodations.  You could also look on Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Fremont and Ballard.  Those neigbhorhoods are an easy bus or uber ride away.  Airbnd would be worth checking out. 
    Also you can pick up an uber/taxi easily if you walk a few blocks away from the stadium into downtown or the waterfront where it will be less crowded.  There are also hotels around the Seattle Center/Space Needle area that aren't all that far from the stadium, like Best Western and Hampton Inn type places.

    Or you can hop the light rail down to the Columbia City neighborhood, if you're going VRBO/AirBNB.  A fun up and coming neighborhood, cute restaurants and shops.

    Yes, it is completely separate from the 10C lottery. It's a TM thing. You register for it, and then wait for a text message close to the verified fan pre-sale, and that text will provide you with a link to your TM pre-sale portal as well as your own personalized pre-sale code. It's quite simple, and they will send you all the info you need if you register for it. The only thing I find weird is that apparently verified fan is doing some kind of random lottery for which registrants will actually get to participate in that pre-sale. I've never seen that done before.

    So if you get screwed out of the 10C lottery, this is the next best thing?
