Hotel booked.  Lottery submitted.  Tempted to go ahead and book airfare too.  Just doing the St Paul shows. 

Same here on all counts. I've found a great deal on airfare. But the flight doesn't get in until 3:30p the afternoon of the first show. Any delays or anything, and I could be screwed.

Try flying in the night before if you can.  I'm flying in on Wednesday night after work. 

YES. ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY consider flying in the night before. Paying extra for an additional night is a hell of a safety net compared to delayed flights, missed connections and landing an hour before doors open.

As we all know, there is no holding space at the venue for bags.

COnfused. 

So looks like GA only not an option. Looks like GA and reserved seating one option  and option 2 is just seating. 

Why would anyone select just seating? Those who just dont want to stand? 

Its not about not wanting to stand. Its about wanting your own space and not fight the crowd. I've done GA and loved it. But with a good seat it was much more relaxing for me. No one pushing up agains you for 2.5 hours so they can be 6 inches closer to the stage. No one pretending they just took a bathroom break and returning to their spot up front. GA can be kind of a mess sometimes. 

Sometimes. If you go towards the middle/back of GA, those problems don't exist.

9 shows…4 in Texas. Very few weekend shows. Not what we were hoping for. I wonder what they’re doing between the 20th and Ohana? 

Exactly what we were hoping for!

So for Chicago,  should I pick all 3 options and hope for the best

If you are willing to sit behind the stage. I'm not. Not for a show I would have to travel to. I put in for GA/Reserved and Reserved, but not Side/Rear.

They hate playing Seattle, no surprise.

It should only be a surprise to people who weren't paying attention.

Thanks for your input 👍

On one hand, the Seattle thing is weird. On the other, we had an awful crowd experience at Settle II in 2018. I do feel like it has to be more than just crowds though. I believe it was one of the 2000 shows when Ed went on a pretty good rant about the respect music doesn't get from authorities there.

I mean, is Seattle really that bad/different? I was at night 2 home show, seemed great. Never been to an arena show in the city.

They don't like playing there because its too much effort, too many people asking for free tickets etc.

I've deleted my requests twice already,  so undecided on requests on seats...lol

So show priority doesn't actually matter, correct?  Same odds, whatever order you put in for? 

Show priority matters... why else would they ask you to prioritize? Those who choose a show as first priority will have tickets pulled first. If there are left over tickets, then it goes on to 2nd priority group. If there are still tickets after 2nd, it goes to 3rd priority group...

Who asks for free tickets? I know some of their personal assistants. I’d never hit them up for free tickets. 

People around here, including the local authorities, bend over backwards for the local musicians. The local politicians just declared it Mudhoney day in King County. When they play in their side projects those shows sell out. The suits that renovated the coliseum wanted to have PJ for a week long stand to open the arena. Instead we got fucking Coldplay. 

They’ve turned their back on the friends and neighbors in Seattle. It’s weird and it’s sad.

I’m a little confused that the site lets you choose both (a) GA Pit or reserved; and also (b) reserved. If you select the former, shouldn’t that also cover the latter (as per the 10c instructions)? What does everyone think about this?

Anyone else with a 'Transaction declined based on your payment settings' despite correct info?

I've read it has something to do with the address, not the payment method unless your card would expire before the event occurs.  Try spelling out avenue or street if you have it abbreviated.  Others said they have removed the apt number (if it applies) or tried using the 5 digit zip code instead of the zip+4.

When do we find out if we got our 10C tickets? Been a PJ fan for decades but didn't join Ten Club until a few years ago so this is the first time I am using the ticket onsale benefit.
