    Vegas 2022 was notified as being selected on 3/23 and then seats assigned 3/29. 
    So there definitely is a delay.

    Favorite Lottery Day Complaints:
    1. Falsely claiming that seniority used to matter for securing tickets.
    2. Not winning GA tantrums
    3. Not reading instructions and winning far more tickets than they could afford / attend.
    4. Not winning the lottery after not actually entering the lottery, just entering Verified Fan.

    What are your favorite complaints?

    Any complaint that highlights the fact they didn't read and/or follow directions, but yet they are still the victim here is my favorite. 
    Good one!  That is one of my favorites.  And #1 since there are multiple of these every single lottery
  • Question, was there any communication sent out verifying the we did in fact enter the fan club lottery? Or did it just enter us with nothing coming back?

    I think there will be some complaining about seat locations based on the numerous disclaimers about how many tickets 10c has available.  I kind of think most/all requests are going to be fulfilled but that will result in some worse-than-usual seat locations.
    2003 - June 15 Fargo
    2005 - Sept 1 George, Sept 8 Winnipeg
    2006 - May 9/10 Toronto, June 26/27 St. Paul, July 22/23 George, Oct 21/22 Mountain View

    I got an email from Ticketstoday, but it was in my spam folder, so check there.

    This is for sure going to happen. 

    Especially with 10% premium tickets on top of that like last year. Shows like Vegas had so many prime seats as premium.l that would of 10C seats in the past

    My favorites aren't  the complaints but rather the conspiracy theories.

    1. TM doesn’t want a real fan to get tickets
    2.TM is in bed with the scalpers
    3. PJ doesn't care about the real fans

    But this complaint always gets me....

    Why are the tickets so expensive? Remember when Eddie's and the boys cared about the jamily and the tickets were affordable?
    PJ has sold out
  • Question, what is considered a low Fan Club account number these days? Like below 100000? 200000? 
  • pjrusspjruss Posts: 494
    I’d say anything below 200,000.

    Maybe this makes me an asshole, but I'm always shocked at how many people have open heart surgery scheduled for the day of show still put in for tickets and are shocked when they can't get a refund.

    ...And if the surgery is last minute, are still mad that their new lease on life overlaps with an Even Flow solo that they won't get to see.
    Totally agree the first part is ridiculous.

    But I never liked non transferable tickets. Its not about missing the show, its about being out the money for a show you can't attend.  I'm sure selling through F2F and getting your $300 back would be nice to help cover the tens of thousands in medical bills if that was the case.

    I would even say sub 300000 wouldn't be considered too bad now. Think about the number of 10C members who are aging. My number is 365XXX, and I renewed that in 2006. I originally had a number from the 90s and let unfortunately had it lapse. I'm a huge PJ fan too. So I'm guessing many have let there's lapse over the years and finally renewed. Or many just lost interest, became MAGA Republicans ( LOL), died, or busy with kids, careers, etc. How many of the first 300,000 members still have the original member numbers? I'd say maybe 1/3 or less.

    Not a complaint necessarily but one of  my personal favorite genres of lottery day posts is someone claiming that something impossible happened (getting a show/pit that people are losing with a low priority pick, or not getting a show with a first pick that people are getting with seconds, etc.) then backing down or correcting themselves when asked for screen shots.

    I’ve got 264XXX, and felt pretty great about my 2020 initial lottery tickets. Lower bowl, section next to Mike, last row (handicapped seats). Really worked out for my son, no issues not being able to see. Fingers crossed for this lottery!

    OK I thought this time around everything was about as clear as could be myself. I thought they did a good job. I ordered my tickets and got an email from tickets today it listed my choices for tickets. I thought it was super easy and pretty clear what was going on only thing I did not do was sign up for verified pin. I missed that part but like everyone else is saying face-to-face is probably easier anyways.

    Well that’s helpful context, I’m high 719 and joined in May 2022 which means they didn’t add hardly anyone during COVID at 3k but added 15k in just the last year based on someone who shared a friend’s number last week.

    I joined in July 2003 and have never lapsed. I'm a 308xxx. Husband first joined a bit later, his original number was 330xxx but he's lapsed a couple times. I think he's in the 450xxx range now. Daughter lapsed a few times and I believe she's 570xxx now

    I’ve told this story around here before but I remember my dad pointing out the PO Box instructions in the Vs. liner notes and suggesting that I send in the five bucks. Because I was a snotty kid who didn’t think his old man knew anything about anything, I ignored him. It wasn’t until I was over 30 and close to having a kid of my own before I got over myself enough to sign up for a band’s “fan club.” Now I’ve got a shitty Ten Club number and a son who doesn’t listen to me.

    I joined in early 90s but marriage, infertility and babies lead me to dropping it in early 2000s and now my number is a sad 600s as I rejoined in 2017. Chris Cornell's passing kicked me back into gear.

    Hopefully they have the same rules as PJ. When I did F2F for Billy Strings last year, ticketmaster actually took fees out of the sale. So I ended up losing like $35 on the pair.
