    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
    2007 - Aug 2/5 Chicago
    2008 - June 22 Washington, June 24/25 New York
    2009 - Aug 21 Toronto, Aug 23/24 Chicago, Sept 21/22 Seattle, Oct 27/28/30/31 Philadelphia
    2010 - May 15 Hartford, May 17 Boston, Oct 23/24 Mountain View
    2011 - Sept 3/4 Alpine Valley, Sept 11/12 Toronto, Sept 17 Winnipeg, Sept 19 Saskatoon
    2012 - Sept 30 Missoula
    2013 - July 16 London, July 19 Chicago, Oct 12 Buffalo, Dec 2 Calgary, Dec 4 Vancouver, Dec 6 Seattle
    2014 - Oct 16 Detroit, Oct 19 St. Paul, Oct 20 Milwaukee
    2015 - Sept 23 (Colbert)/Sept 26, New York
    2016 - Apr 28/29 Philadelphia, May 10/12 Toronto, Aug 20/22 Chicago

    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?

    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.

    Yeah, this is a classic.

    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.
