    At which of the two Seattle shows do you think they're more likely to play Release? The answer will be my number 1 choice.
    Release was played at night 1 Fenway and night 1 Wrigley 2016. Both were the most demand shows though and Friday will be for Seattle so who knows.

    Going to go to Fenway this year for both. What you guys think if I put my picks 1st choice - Nightb1 and was going to Night2 as my 2nd choice....both reserved. I know it's a lottery, but think chances of getting reserved both nights good?
    Yes and Yes!

    Sorry if this has been asked before:

    I registered for the verified fan TM presale.

    If I get my two shows through the Tenclub presale, do I still get a code for the verified fan Ticketmaster presale starting 02/16/18?

    Because then I would need the access code no more. Could I give this code to someone else here at the forum, who has registered for verified fan but was not invited by TM / did not get such a code?

    ^Good question (and sorry, I don't have the answer to it.) However, are the 10c and TM predates "connected?" In other words, if I get 10c tix would I still get a TM Verified fan code as well? Maybe not.

    I believe night 1 will be the more popular show so I would pick that show as my first pick.

    I understood that the TM code was supposed to be linked to your TM account, as you have to sign in to get it, so I don’t believe you can share.  I also don’t think that the 10c and TM sales are linked, so conceivably you could get both.  Just my thoughts not 100% sure.

    No you can not share your code as it is tied to your ticketmaster account and yes you will get a code even if you win 10 club. Hopefully those that win 10 club tickets and do not need verified pass on it and do not clog up the system since they do not need tickets.

    No code?

    Unfortunately the blind 10c purchase system and many fans that have a permanent low seniority ranking for every show entices many fans to try their luck at both.

    So glad Fenway #2 is on a weeknight like it is. Might actually have a chance at decent seats despite my high member #. Still afraid of getting stuck in the back of the field sections though, I'd rather be up a few rows and farther away than not be able to see the stage at all.

    Does anyone know if tix bought through the TM pre-sale will be transferable/sellable? Hopefully not, would cut down on people buying just to scalp them

    Verified tix are sellable/transferrable most of the time. On select occasions, like U2's Joshua Tree tour last year, they are not. As far as I know it's not yet been announced in which camp PJ's will fall.

    GA is all 10C (and their plus ones), right? Like it won't be possible for people buying tix through TM to get GA, right?

    Please stay away from secondary markets.  I am sure plenty of face value tickets will be available.  

    If you are wanting to almost endure that
    you get in, then I would say stay away from GA at Seattle and just love the seats you get !! How is their a bad seat at a PJ concert ??  Unless it is in a sound proof room then it can’t be bad !!

    Yes but if I remember correctly the later you submit your final entry the later you will receive notification from 10C whether you won or not.

    "During the drawing, we will randomly draw members who have made that show their #1 priority. If any tickets remain, the system will randomly draw names of members who have chosen that show as their #2 priority and so on until every ticket for a given show has been sold"

    This to me suggests that I should reconsider doing what everyone else on here is doing, which is putting in for GA as your priority choice.  The Club, will have to treat each show's GA, and Reserved as technically two shows for the purposes of the lottery.  By simple virtue of the GA floor being more popular, and that there are far fewer tickets than for reserved, this portion of the show will "sell out" the fastest.  Separately, a lottery drawing will be held for the same show's Reserved section, and will begin awarding entrants who selected "Reserved" as their higher priority.  The sentence above suggests that the lottery is FOR EACH SHOW and each seating classification, NOT FOR EACH CLUB MEMBER.  It doesn't sound as though they pick your member number, and then start allocating your tickets according to your preferences.  They pick a show, and a seating classification, and then fill each of those up based on the lottery.  If you put GA as your priority for everything, and reserved as your last, you may end up with neither.

    I think you are much more likely be be out in the cold if you prioritize GA for everything.

    Chicago GA 1 down to 73%.... Free Fallin'......

    Do we hear 66? 

    Seriously considering switching to reserved for CHI1 to ensure I get in the building.... will see how the Reserved numbers look. Seeming like CHI1 may be the hot show this tour (Saturday helps), though.

    Wrigley down to 59/79% barely 4 hours after sales open. Where do we think they drop to? 30%? 20% Lower?
