    Completely agree.  The GA percentage for Nashville was at 29% and somehow I didn't get a ticket.  I've been in the ten club since 2000. This is bullshit.  
    75% for ottawa and ZILCH!

    Also shutout on the lottery.

    Think the band should be doing stadiums (at least in the northeast) and leave the arenas in the past, in my opinion. Too much demand and not enough tickets to go around for everyone that wants to see them.

    Perhaps the gimme's might want to gather their torches and storm the Ten Club to demand the spoils to which they're obviously entitled.

    That'll learn 'em!

    Don't know if this was towards me or not. I'm just trying to suggest a more inclusive system for the future. I understand if the band want to play fewer and fewer shows/year but larger venues would help out in not disappointing a decent portion of the fanbase.

    I’ve been in since 1996 & didn’t get tickets to the 2 shows I applied for. First time in awhile I haven’t gotten tickets. What a fucking joke this Ticketmaster system turned out to be

    Wow! First posts ever! Welcome!

    So you didn't bother with posting positive statements after winning tickets all those other years?  Didn't start a "So Happy thread"?

    Really tho, how much more inclusive can you get than a random lottery? With a lottery every paying member has an equal shot at tiks and GA but again, if you do end up winning and are a longtime 10C member then you're going to get much better seats than new members. Doesn't get more inclusive than that imo.

    Obvs we're all massive PJ fans here or else we wouldn't be 10C members posting on this forum and all these pre-sale tiks went to 10C members both longtime & new. Every member deserves a fair shot at seeing their fav band in concert, especially those fans who maybe haven't been fortunate enough to see the band multiple times already or seen them live at all.

    They can sell out stadiums and more people will get to experience the band live and people wont have to wait until 2020-whenever for another "chance" in the lottery. Would result in less disappointed fans. I'm for MORE fans seeing the band both new and old not for seniority based.

    The early 10C emails suggested that "the majority of fans who enter will get tickets".  While I'm sure that's true (>50%), it sure is misleading. All the talk of "more tickets for fans" ... bummer. I'm bummed that I put in for only one show, one in my hometown, and I didn't get the tickets.  Oh well... still have the presale to get what I want.

    I got shut out in Phx too.  That was the only one I went for since I can’t travel at the moment.  The last time I got fan club tickets was during the lightning bolt tour and got GA for both Phx and LA. Got good seats, didn’t go GA, for the three or four shows before that too. So I had no reason to expect to get shut out.  I know someone else that got shut out of reserved.  I can’t imagine that in this town where rock shows almost never sell out that there’s that many Ten Club members.

    I feel you.  Member since 2006, never lost until today.  Very sad moment.  Now I have to rely on a ticketmaster lottery or pay triple the price from gougers...FML!!!

    First loss ever? - 14 years? Sorry to hear your winning streak came to an end... you had a better run than most.

    Pretty disappointing. In all the years that I have been a member and each time tickets go on sale I am always a nervous wreck thinking I won't get them. This time around I was very calm about it all thinking it was pretty much a guarantee I would get them when the website said I have a 90% chance of getting the tickets and 10C saying, "Unprecedented Access for Ten Club Members
    Ten Club has secured more tickets for this tour than ever before. The majority of fans who enter the Ten Club ticket request will get tickets." So the question now is do I get public sale tickets this week or wait and hope I can get them in Feb where members can swap/pay for them from another member??

    I personally hate the stadium show idea - more people but worse experience . I skipped the boston stadium shows because I don't want to watch a screen from nosebleeds...and GA were seated, so even front row was not so close. Arenas are as big as any concert I really want to see should be. I do wish they'd play more. I got lucky and scored my 1st choice. I've never been completely shut out and have always managed to get in via day-of, fellow 10clubbers, and other sales.

    I didn’t get either show I put in for in the lottery. Seeing as my father passed away Thursday, I was really hoping to get floor at MSG to mourn and celebrate his life. Hopefully I’ll get tickets through verified fan or regular sales. 

    I really don’t trust Ticketmaster either.

    PJ's GA is smaller than every damn band there is, why did you people put GA and think the odds were in your favor?  Especially if you did not put it at priority 1.   I totally threw a hail mary on MSG GA in a bad priority because why not, but it was not a priority for me to win those tickets.

    Hi There.
    What show was at 90%?  [The answer, I believe, is none.  Not at the last update prior to drawing.]

    I can understand the frustration by some but get it together. I have been a member for over 15 years and have not gotten tickets at least 7-9 times. So for some that this is your first time then chalk it down for having a great run at getting tickets. Example: A few years back i applied for the Moline show and Milwaukee. Got the Moline GA but nothing for Milwaukee. I went on Stub Hub and scored tickets for like $120 a piece but the seats were first row First balcony Mike sides of the stage and the seats were the shit. So there is hope. I have always found decent tickets when I have gotten shut out. its not the end of the world.
