    Between the verified fan sale and the F2F sales, you'll be able to get tickets.  Just be patient.

    They should move the Baltimore show to the Pier 5 Amphitheatre. That place is awesome!

    This is nothing to be pissed off about. It’s a concert. If you don’t go to a Pearl Jam show in 2022, it is not the end of the world. 
    You can be pissed about something that you really enjoy and look forward to.  
    I'm on the other side of this idea... I'm not as pissed about missing one show as I am about how the entire Baltimore debacle was handled.  Even if they said today that they were having a Baltimore show, I'd still be pissed and not excited about it (given it plenty of thought, too).

    Basically pulled the rug out from under us after two years of nothing - Raleigh was a late decision but at least it was based on a moral reason that required immediate action in days or hours, but they had literally months to find a solution to the Baltimore venue being renovated, and still made a last-minute decision that had a bunch of fans fall flat on their faces. 

    Raleigh was absolutely worse, time-wise, but Baltimore just feels different and completely took the wind out of my sails in terms of wanting to see the band right now.
    You think it was a last-minute decision to cancel Baltimore? How so? Last-minute to what? Raleigh was last-minute, as people found out on their way to the show. It's not like any of us had to cancel flight or hotel rooms over Baltimore. 

    Would you rather they just booked a show there right after the reno was geeen-lit? That would have gone over great - "Hwy PJ fans, Baltimore show next Tuesday!" 

    Are you privy to information the rest of us aren't? Do you know that they weren't trying to figure something out? Maybe they wanted to keep the show in Baltimore, not DC? I know they're close, but it's not like we're talking Minneapolis & St Paul. Maybe Stone had a crab costume he REALLY wanted to break out. Point is, we don't know what went on behind the scenes, so to say, "They didn't even TRY!" is nothing more than rank speculation.

    We're all upset about the cancelation, and most of us don't think they'll follow through on the promise to "make things right", but until someone with actual inside info comes out and tells me what the band did/didn't do, I'm not going to get angry about stuff I imagined they did.

    I choose not to enter these lotteries specially for NY,Boston,Philly the chances are always insanely low! I feel better to just let go, it’s not worth the disappointment of not scoring.
    I’ve paid my dues since April 93 never let It lapse not once seeing lots of great shows with great seats but these days I just don’t have any interest in the band, So I'm basically paying to post with the hope I’ll use my number one day again to see them but for now I’m good with not seeing them! I feel for those who feel that disappointment I’ve been there but no more..

    There will be plenty of Nashville circulating on F2F. Happened back in 2020, and I’m sure lots of people will place theirs back on the market once they realize their high 10c number doesn’t get them a great seat or a friend spots them an extra. Just need a little patience and know at least you won’t pay 3-4x face to get into the stadium.
    I have no idea how this F2F thing works, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for it. 

    F2F tickets are put back into the TM pool so just keep checking the event page after the verified sale is done. Tickets do go quickly and are not saved once in your cart, but if you're quick enough you should be able to score some tickets.

    be careful of the jacked up prices on TM platinum tickets. I was dumb enough to pay 1K for 1 ticket to beacon. 

    emotions run high thinking you will miss out but there will be other options to buy. the slowly released more for way below that price and there were plenty of people selling tickets before the show...

    Again I am almost positive they said market priced tickets will not be dropped until a later time. I take that as Verified Fan ticket sale day will not have these available.

    I've seen you post this in a few different threads and I'm curious. Why not even try to put in for the lottery? It costs you nothing (other than yearly fees which you don't seem to mind spending). Obviously it's disappointing to not get chosen but with your membership #, I would say the reward would far outweigh the disappointment. 

    Unless you're using your lottery choices on shows outside of the northeast in the hopes of not wasting your top picks on saturated markets, then yes, that is more understandable. And you can avoid this post if that is indeed the situation :)

    Sweet irony! That beautiful 10C number is put away.  Hopefully we get a show with floor seating at some point when that low number can shine!

    I don't understand how I cannot get tickets to the 2022 tour when I had tickets to the cancelled 2020 tour. I had tickets for the Baltimore show and decided to keep my tickets in lieu of a refund. Then they announce the 2022 tour and because the venue is under remodel the entire show was cancelled. Instead of giving me tickets to another show I am refunded and have to enter into the lottery again. I do and for some reason my request for the Nashville show was unfulfilled. Now I have to try and get tickets through Ticketmasters verified fan sale which probably will not happen since we all know how Ticketmaster works. I have been waiting for 2 years to see a live show and because of some technicality a loyal fan club member who pays his dues every year will likely miss out.  Not sure why I am being left out in the cold when none of this was my fault and feel I should have been given priority and been able to select tickets to the show of my choosing.
    I have a question if you have tickets and you want to sell them on fan to fan can you pick exactly who you want to sell them to I only wanted tickets to Camden and I got them in the ten club presale I am also registered for the verified fan I would be willing to try to buy tickets for your show but in no way do I want to go to that show or travel and I don't want to get stuck with them but I would certainly buy them and let you buy them off me for face value if I could do it for you FYI my member number is $449,XXX and is that even allowed I feel really bad for you you should have been automatically given tickets to another show because yours was canceled

    No, you cannot sell directly to another fan. You can try to coordinate a time - usually in the wee hours of the night - when not many would be online, but it's not guaranteed your buyer will get them.

    Pretty much if I see a show like Baltimore I’ll go for it which I did and won but I don’t enter for any big market shows anymore! This time I didn’t see any city I’m willing to travel too see the band, MSG is literally a train ride for me but  I’m no longer interested in seeing them there!

    Goddamn the popularity of this band combined with their happy home lives.  I'm only being somewhat ironic.  The combination of limited touring with rabid fans equals not enough tickets for the people who want to see them.  Also curse the other bands for not joining with them in 1994 when they tried to take down Ticketmaster as this is also a reason for the scarcity of TenClub tickets as well.  I imagine if they could (they tried in 1996) they could do a fanclub only tour but the problem is the venue and the ridiculous amount of work that takes.

    My luck on these drawing is abysmal but I honestly think the band does everything they reasonably can in these situations.  

    I've also found that if I really wanted to get to a show, I found a way.  It costs sometimes but so it goes.

    All good. I've been lucky to see them a bunch of times. Good to pass the torch for others to enjoy.
    I can go to a local venue, see a great band, no drama attached.

    I have been very critical of 10c this past year, but they deserve all the credit in the world for putting this 2022 lottery together. I had no expectation it would happen and fully believed every refunded 10c ticket would become a Platinum ticket. That they got those tickets back into the hands of 10c members is impressive.

    That’s exactly where I’m at these days ! I’ve got tickets to see Midnight Oil on their last tour and I’m so damn excited and sad at the same time totally bittersweet feeling but I can’t wait small venue very easy to get tickets, that’s what I like these days no hassle shows..

    The venue not being available is not a "technicality". It sucks, but it happens. That said, I do agree that they could have given the people who held on to those tickets some kind of priority. Hopefully you'll get tickets another way.
