AEllboPJ

2,000 people in front of you .....to share in the 1500 dregs of tickets left for you poor bastards....behind the stage ain't so bad....nosebleeds? come on dude, youre in the building 


AND ONLY ONE WAITING ROOM AT A TIME.....pointless...useless

sorry...but this is a damn joke....this entire concert drop has been an embarrassment for PJ....but we are all so damn desperate for a drop of anything from the PJ teat...they starve us with

 lack of touring/music for years...then drop this bullshit last minute system on us....NOBODY from 10C has made a statement about this....and to bet into bed with ticketmaster.....what's

next?  10C poster drops ran by Ebay?  Vault releases on Amazon?

lotto winners get codes for verified while others get waitlisted.....LIFE AIN'T FAIR

What concert has been a breeze to attain? Just curious because I live in a city and if you don’t jump immediately on tickets they are gone. And even if you try it’s not a guarantee.

Its always been hard to get tickets to stuff.   At least now we can get rejected in the comfort of our own homes, without hitting refresh feverishly. 

And thankfully we have the 10c.

I actually remember tickets being very easy to get until about 10 years ago. Through the 2000s, living in LA and San Diego, there wasn't that big of demand. I would talk friends into going to the show with me just days before the concert sometimes and there'd be tickets. ANd when they had a 1 show limit, I don't remember having to go to StubHub for the extra shows, there wasn't any problem getting them through TM.
But they just weren't as popular then as they are now. 
The only valid complaint is lack of communication from 10c about the lottery fiasco. I was expecting some communication, at least that they were aware of some problems/glitches and will fix them before the next drawing. That would be enough.

very few are easy....TM is corrupt....PJ didn't simply choose TM to sell tickets...they got in bed with them and handed them the keys to the car..

Well, yeah, that, but also imagine the bitching that happened during them? Epic bitching, I'm sure.

people who have a harder ilfe put more stock in things like this to make them happy, to escape their mental illness, their jobs, their bills, their shitty relationships etc.....it's not the other way around

I remember going to Carson Pirie Scott to stand in a Ticketmaster line for a Springsteen Concert in 1994 or 1995.   I thought I was being sneaky by getting in line at 6am.  There were already people in line from the night before.  It was raining.  I didnt get tickets.

Then travel to a different place. Living in Albuquerque has not been a hotbed for PJ shows. Nearest shows 6+ hours. If you cared as much as you claimed you could get off your ass and go to a new place. Enjoy trying different foods and local brews, explore and take in new cultures. I agree about needed to escape, but you have to be in control of how hard you really try to escape.
Had a blood clot on my brain last year. You think you need this more or less than me.

Also, I wasn't even aware that the Soldier Field show in 1995 was taking place until it was all sold out.  Like...how would I have known about it?

There was no internet.

Lack of touring? I mean, they weren't big tours, but I have seen them 5 times since 2016. It's not like they've been hiding...

Glad you’ve recovered well....think the ‘People with harder lives’ may not have the financial means or even physical ability to travel to see a  band .. was kind of the OPs  point?  I’m sure you met some people less fortunate than you during your recover who now have harder lives ....hail hail to the lucky ones

I used to have to work these at Streetside Records in STL.  As much of a pain in the ass as it was it was always kind of fun.  Fans hyped about a band/show.  Obviously I love just sitting at home and entering the 10c lottery with almost zero stress (other than waiting to see if we win) but fans gathering all night before a big ticket sale was kind of cool.
