Beer is too expensive. My wife and I already planned on taking the train in so we can have a 24 oz can in each hand. We keep things classy.

Stop being a cheap ass and get her a 40 oz for each hand.

I have to pee already

Memories of those last couple sips of straight up malt.....ugh

In order to drink 80 oz of beer I would need a bag of something salty, like pretzels. Otherwise I just can do it.
I refuse to be that guy with 2 40s and a bag of pretzels on the train. I draw the line at pretzels.

Image result for these pretzels are making me thirsty gif

It's going to be a long week so I was thinking I'd pre-answer several of the common complaints that we'll be seeing pop up (each with its own dedicated thread I'm sure). We can just bookmark this and refer back to it rather than typing these things out dozens of times.

1. Other people have started getting their notifications and I haven't yet. Take it easy. Make a cup of tea, read a book, take a walk. The shows are two months away; you'll be okay.

2. I got shut out of my GA-only request and I see people who requested Best Available getting pit tickets. This has been addressed several times over the last two weeks. It was a lottery, and picking "GA Only" did not provide you with better chances than "Best Available" - in fact it was much worse, as both options gave you identical chances to get drawn for the pit, with GA-only not having the fallback of potentially getting seats.

3. I got reserved seats and people with lower numbers got GA. Based on our common understanding* of how the lottery worked, seniority did not affect whether you got tickets at all, or whether you got GA or reserved, but only the location of the reserved seats once they had been fully drawn.

4. My seats are worse than they were for previous tours. This one was addressed directly in the initial communications from the club. It is apparent that the Ten Club was able to get far more tickets for the lottery on this tour than on previous ones, and the crucial thing to understand is that that means there are more winners with a lower number than you.

5. Someone with a higher number than me got better seats than I did for a different show. Some of these shows had higher demand in the lottery than others. It is very likely that there are fewer member tickets being awarded for, say, OKC than for MSG, and so it stands to reason that the worst fan club seats in OKC will be better than the worst ones in the Garden. If you have a problem with this, try putting in for the lower-demand shows in the future and (as this 506xxx member can tell you from experience) you will enjoy better seats.

6. Someone with a higher number than me got better seats than I did for the same show. No they didn't. Unless and until we start confirming that this is happening a lot, you should assume that one or both of you is wrong.

7. Better seats than mine are showing up on the resale market. There can be several reasons for this, including but not limited to (a) the scalper has a Ten Club account and entered the lottery for the purpose of reselling, (b) the scalper doesn't have the tickets yet and is speculating and (c) there were actually some seats available in the VF and general sales that were better than some of the 10C tickets. None of this means that TM or the club messed up or that you have been treated unfairly.

8. I only got one ticket when I thought I was getting two. You fucked up your entry. (We haven't heard this one yet I don't think, but I'm calling it now - there will be people who selected "1" [as in, "I know Ten Club tickets are sold in pairs, so I'll take one pair please"] for the number of tickets in their original entry, and who will only find out that they got a single when the seat location rolls in).

9. Miscellaneous complaints I haven't thought of. Be happy you're in the building.

Whatcha doin later? Maybe we can go grab a drink?

Got email confirming I won lottery.. once I get seat info, do I need to include my middle name to ensure entrance into venue? And if so, what about if someone put in for more shows but got GA and I didnt? Can't I seize their tickets? Help here...I'm starting get a little SAG (stressed and gutted)

I scored from 10 Club for both Oakland shows. I realize these aren't nearly as in demand as MSG, but I absolutely care where my seats are. If for some reason they were in the last row of the upper deck for both nights, I'd skip one of them. I love PJ, but there isn't a band on the planet I'd pay $125 a pop to sit in the worst seats in the house for 2 nights. I do, however, expect to get good to decent seats in the lower bowl if I don't get GA. And that will be fine.

why are people bugging about where they are sitting? if you won ten club tickets you got tickets for face value which is amazing. look at the stub hub prices for MSG. I was shut out of MSG. If you don't like your MSG ten club ticket I will gladly take it. I don't care if it's in the last row of a partial viewing row in section 1000

I'm sure some people who put "Best Available" are concerned if they got GA or Reserved.

Also, for those that have 10C reserved tickets, its always nice to see where your number kinda matches up.

yup.

For Ottawa, I am waiting on best available. Things change if I end up reserved back of the floor. Those seats are uninhabitable to me. I am 5'5". Its not enjoyable to stare at someone's back for 2-3 hours.

If I got that, I could make arrangements to get seats, possibly try to swap by way of that ticket exchange or whatever

I do agree with you. If my seats suck for Quebec City there is no way I am driving 8 hours. I would just sell them.

Can't wait!!! Oh, I guess I do. Nevermind.

Exactly....You find out this week if you get GA or Reserved

You need your mother's maiden name plus your paternal grandfather's middle name.

I remember getting 10C seats for Montreal in 2011 and being shocked at how much better they were than my usual NYC seats. Pleasant surprise to see what you can get in other cities.

This was my view in 2016 in Toronto, from a ticket I bought off a reseller.

It was decent but my hope is I get something a little better. If not, I’d be gutted.

(Kidding)

My seats in Prague 2018 were much better than what I'm used to in the states, with the additional feature that they were two off the aisle and right next to the section entrance/exit, from which you could almost have shot an arrow straight out the arena doors and into the entrance to the subway. I've become a sucker for an easy out in my old age. Thanks Ten Club!

This is one of the reasons I will be going to Florida shows next time they play down there, particularly Tampa. 2016 was my first-ever non-Boston-area show, and it was crazy how not crazy it was.
