    15 days of waiting for the drawing to open and then another 6 days of  waiting for it to close.  Gah! I need to limit the message board exposure.

    Yup! I’m putting in my choices (SEA only) tomorrow and closing this window down for a while... I don’t think I’ll be able to handle the stress if I start looking at odds.

    Yeah, sorry, it is a matter of timing.  If I skip Fenway 2 I can do that w/o any days off and can put the kids with the in-laws.  Those other trips take lots of movement.  (It would be easier if my wife didnt like to go as well, although it would be less fun.) 
    We went to the first Wrigley and it was awesome.
    Seattle/Missoula will be new to us...and we did catch 1 of the Fenways as well but that is a holiday weekend so much easier.
    You should go to one of the other shows!
    I hear ya with the timing. I just started a new job in October and don't get any vacation time until this October. I can only do Chicago because it's close by and I will use sick days if necessary (I've never called off sick in my professional career). One of the Seattle shows or Missoula would have been pretty freaking awesome though. I have a strong feeling that our chances to get to see these guys is dwindling quickly.

    Yeah, I'm wondering what the heck I'm going to do if I lose in the lottery. Resale prices are going to be insane.
    Same here a bit. First chance I've been able to be in a position to go so really have my hopes up. GA  would be super amazing but reserved I'd be happy too!

    insane or non existent?? My hopes are up too but I'm thinking maybe its easier to try GA for Wrigley rather then Seattle- Seattle being the big wow factor show, i think?

    I've seen this a few times now... why are people suggesting that they are going to tour less and less? They've been playing North America, South America, and Europe very frequently for a while now. Yes they only play around 30 shows per tour, but they still tour... besides last year. They make darn sure that they cover every corner. If you live on the West we are playing Seattle and Missoula. If you on the east we are playing in Boston. If you live in the middle we are playing in Chicago. They still tour and they make sure that you are able to see them. I don't see this band stopping for a while.

    I was planning on bidding for Wrigley 1 Reserved, and Wrigley 2 GA. But because my TC number is so high (I joined last year), I think I'll play it save and do Reserved for both shows. Probably hold off on GA next time they come to Chicago/Milwaukee.

    FWIW, your 10C#, low or high, has no bearing on whether or not you get selected for GA. It's a pure crapshoot where everyone has an equal chance. Good luck!

    Your # has no impact on IF you get tickets.

    Yeah I’m wondering if I even give a shit! I don’t remember caring so little about a tour in ages, I feel like the dude in office space that got hypnotized. I think I’m going to enter the lottery after all and if don’t get anything then good I save the airfare.  If I get it then I get plane tickets and fly.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Are GA and reserved seats the same price for Ten Club members if you win the lottery?

    They’re usually slightly different I think
