Its just too easy for the band

As for. Lotto.. U don't put shit or think anything before u see the announcement and the odds
Talk about Put GA or reserve makes no sense from The moment u don't know the dates and what shows u can do, what's the details of the lotto. (how many shows u can enter, or if u can enter for both shows when is x 2 at a venue etc)
Afrer all this u see what u want and what the best way to score based on logic and odds. 
All previous talk has no logic. 
2018 Amsterdam had low GA and this year  had 99%.. U never know what's the best option till u see it 

Sure there hasn't been a formal announcement but over the past few weeks we have got enough hints (thank you) to start planning.  People are reserving hotels based on the guesses.  I don't see any problem starting to plan for the lottery based on historical precedent. 

Overall I think that there are some aspects of the lottery that I'd be shocked if they were changed.  You should be able to enter for as many shows as you want.  If there are multiple shows at a venue you'll be limited to only one pair.  The draw will be GA first then Reserved.  Most GA entries other than #1 will have a very low chance for wins.

Reading through the posts there are a lot of people who don't understand the process and are looking for help.  I think that providing information is good for the community.  Yes, we don't know the odds and won't for a while.  But if planning an itinerary and hotels isn't a problem then preparing for the lottery draw isn't either.

Ultimately the best advice is what everyone has been writing.  Figure out what show you really want to see and make it your #1 entry.  Respect the odds tool but don't fear the odds.

 I hear ya. 
I'm not talking about trip planing. But enter lotto. 
U see the odds and most of all. Read the rules of lotto
Examble.we don't know the set up about how many shows u can enter. 
What going on for sure with x2 shows
What's going on let's say if there  is a special event in same state and u can or can not enter for both shows..
Last time we had this new thing with enter with ticket master fan or what ever called.
Tickets was electronic. Another new thing last time. 
So when they announce u read first all details
Then u see the odds. And u figure whst u want and what the best way to score and be in the venue.. Cos we all know public sake is a cluster fuck. 
So 10c tix is a must and u need to try to find the best way possible with the best odds u can get so u win.
So u can't plan in advance which will be your priority in lotto before u see the dates and read the rules

To assume fans the same age as they are can stand still for 4 hours...unless they provide stools or canes in the GA pit.

Lol. I’d almost take offense at this, except Seattle night 1 almost killed me. No one told me there were all those hills in Seattle and it’d be 90 degrees and blazing sun for 14 hours in the GA line. What happened to gloomy cool weather? We walked our asses off the day before and by the time I got into the pit, I could barely stand. We had a nice long wait standing in the pit before the show. But once it started, the adrenaline kicked in and the pain went away. Despite all that, I’d do it again in a heartbeat-and I plan on doing just that several times this tour. 

I hear ya there. I went to Seattle 1 as well and was lucky enough to come down with a brutal cold the day before. I was downing meds the whole way up to Seattle. My voice was already pretty much gone before the band even took the stage. But as you said, once the show started, all of that stuff pretty much faded away for three glorious hours.

The next day was awful.

If they do Fenway again, please please PLEASE have an opener. We're happy to start trickling in early, but give us some entertainment.

Or just start when you say you're gonna start. Nothing pisses me off more than an outdoor show getting curfew'd because they wanted to wait until sundown I guess?...

So, spoke to an local ticket broker here this morning (looking into some Celtics tix) I casually asked if he knew anything about PJ. Without hesitation he said "Fenway again for 2 shows". I asked when and he said he didn't know for sure, but later in the summer after Europe. He seemed pretty certain. 

Not ideal, but at least it's something. 

niiiiice!

Fuck!

😂 You knew that was comin. Start exporting that Alpine and Ganong. Make a fortune! 

Lol oil is where its at! 

So Aug 3-9th is open and Aug 21-24th for Fenway. Nothing else really works. 

Going into September, both Sept 8-10 and  Sept 14-21 appear to work

PJ has a HUGE catalog of music - there's zero reason to have an opener.  In fact, I hope they don't - more PJ on stage singing songs we all want to hear.

I think that most fans choose the show closest to their home regardless of the odds.  I know a good portion of the fan base travels but many don't have that luxury due to financial, time off from work, or family responsibilities.  I'm in Connecticut.  I can easily make a day trip to NYC.  I may be able to pull off Baltimore or the closest Canadian show.  But I can't pull my kids out of school and fly to Nashville or Phoenix.  

This isn't intended to be a sob story, I'll be happy to see them just one time this year.

For my taste, they usually do a great job picking openers. Way more often than not I've been able to see 2 great bands instead of 1. I'd be stoked on The Pixies or IDLES like Europe. More of that, please.

Love opening bands.

That's a hard pass for me on an opener. Been to hundreds of concerts and I can count on 1 hand the amount of openers I've liked (if I dont know who they are before). Haven't liked 1 band PJ has brought. Would rather them play longer and like someone stated, START ON TIME. Fenway 2018 was brutal with them not starting on time.

2018 Fenway was WAY too long a wait.
I've liked one opener in 25 years, Band of Horses.

Be nice if they announce the late summer/fall dates at same time as spring, would make some decisions easier for some of us and might ease the demand a smidge for NYC and Baltimore.

I can't imagine that a ticket broker knows anything that hasn't already been leaked.

Depends on the broker...there's one here in Boston who is very tied in with Red Sox/Fenway, so they could have some inside info.

Not one? If there had to be an opener, who would be your top 2 or 3 choices? Someone who would reasonably slot in anyway. No U2, etc.

Zero interest in watching an opening act waste precious time before curfew at Fenway.
