    New 10c member. Firstly, thanks to everyone for sharing info on expected dates and tips on when/where to book etc. I hope you'll indulge a ticketing-related question. I'm only looking to get in--don't really care about seats and, to be honest, not comfortable paying much beyond the 160-200 range when I'm shelling out for family who aren't as invested in the band as me. If I'm just looking to get in, am I better served doing the 10c lottery/drawing or throwing in for the general on-sale? I was able to score Austin 2 tix last April through the general on-sale after winning that lottery and then grab face value Night 1 tix off Ticketmaster over the summer. My sense is the general on-sale will be fine for one of the dates I'm considering (Portland) but might be tricky for the others (Seattle 2, if the Climate Pledge rumor stands up, and Philly 2 if a work thing happens for me). Thanks in advance! 
    In last year’s tour, there were very few face value tickets in the general on-sale. Most of what was left after the 10c lottery was the higher priced tickets. But the demand might not be as great this year since it was only 9 shows last year. The nice thing about 10c is you’re getting face value tickets if you get them, so couldn’t hurt to put in for them and see what happens, then try your luck at general on sale if you strike out.
    Thanks, JD8 and mpedone!

    Last year I was lucky enough to get tickets through the lottery, one GA night and one seated night. I had also signed up for the verified fan but like people have said, once you get in there the tickets disappear fast and aren't that great. You really just have to rely on the F2F. That has been a game-changer. I was able to upgrade like six times before getting really good seats. It's just a bummer that some states don't have the F2F available, they still allow reselling them at ridiculous prices, which is how I got screwed in 2022 going to Denver and having to sit in the nosebleeds. 

    I think NY still allows that, so if you don't get tickets through the lottery for MSG this fall, you might be screwed.

    Correct. There is no fan 2 fan for NYC, people will resell on stubhub for insane amounts. Even after the verified fan sale was over, unless you had gotten a verified code, you still were not allowed to buy any face value tix that dropped on TM, you could only buy the expensive platinum ones. 

    I've never won a 10c lottery for a NYC show, and I no longer get verified. Hoping my luck changes this go around.

    Verified fan registration page is coming. You know it is. So if u get shut out of 10c tix, be prepared to go the verified fan route. Just saying.
    Verified Fan is useless

    So based on the fact that F2F was available for Chicago last year (which like NY, has a law prohibiting restrictions on ticket transferability), I suspect that F2F will actually be available for MSG as well. But like Chicago, since you can resell on the secondary market for way over face, I suspect the number of tickets popping up on F2F will be very limited.

    Here's where there needs to be some serious strategy. If I'm trying to go to the NYC and Philly shows, would it be wise to put both NYC nights as my top 2 priorities (since if I don't get it I'm stuck with the crazy prices)  in the lottery and the Philly nights 3rd and 4th priority since I can potentially get F2F tickets to the Philly shows? But I know NYC will have some serious demand, so it might be a lost cause anyway, and I should just focus all my effort on Philly. 

    I guess it's not even worth stressing over at the moment, I'm just excited for the eventual announcement!

    Yes. That's exactly what you should do.

    Keep the subject above what is the general consenssus about these shows and their priority when the time comes.

    London/berlin/Barcelona 

    At first i was thinking of putting london as seating (both nights) as my 1st and 2nd priorities. After the general talk here i've decided to go as GA

    Was thinking of putting Barcelona night 1 and 2 as 3rd and 4th as seating as i got it in 2018 but it was as 1st priority

    Might put berlin as 5th and 6th as in the 2022 tour there was tickets available for a long time, it wasnt a super fast sold out .

    London seems to be the hardest one right? What do u guys think of my way of thought? Some tips will be most welcomed

    I think this is a great show to see from the heights. You’ll get a complete overview, but all that was available from presale was GA - so of course I snagged.

    a friend of mine was just there seeing U2...he's a big Dead fan. He said that the seating is very steep and narrow so GA might be the only place to stand and move. He said very few people were standing for U2 because of that and that the visuals were so incredible you just wanted to sit and take it all in.

    I saw 5 shows..2 in seats and 3 in GA. Seats really steep esp if Dead and Co fans are partaking.... that's why my last 3 shows were all GA. As long as you're not in 100s row 20 or further back you'll see plenty of screen

    I thought for Europe the hardest GA was the one with the golden circle for 10c only. 

    Other then that the odds of GA is like 90% whereas the reserved seating was like below 50% and I only hit on one of the shows I put in for, my top priority..back in 2019 for the expected 2020 shows that never happened. 

    Mostly Europe its much harder to get reserved seating since no one wants to be stuck on the floor which is the entire floor and not a partial floor like US.  So its a mad house front to back. Very gross.

    In 2020 Canada was a separate lottery from US.  So you could have a top priority for Canada and a separate top priority for US.
    Only makes sense if u have more than one Canadian show. 
    Van1
    Van2
    2 shows 
    So u want a seperate lottery for the 2 Van shows? 🤣 I’ll be making Vancouver my top choice in the NA lottery 😉

    I don’t have a preference.  Was just responding to someone saying there’s only one CDN show.

    On the subject of lottery priorities do the east coast US shows usually only go to first priority or can you be successful with second, third etc?

    I'm a little confused about Waldbühne because I try to avoid as much hassle as possible with concerts. People are saying that there aren't any bad places in Waldbühne and if you have a chance you should experience it, but does anyone have experiences with how much in advance you need to get there to get decent seats? And when you get your seat you will have it without anyone taking it if you go get drinks or taking a toiletbreak? And I don't need to be on the floor/pit. Cheers everyone...hope we get an announcement soon...

    I'm a little confused about Waldbühne because I try to avoid as much hassle as possible with concerts. People are saying that there aren't any bad places in Waldbühne and if you have a chance you should experience it, but does anyone have experiences with how much in advance you need to get there to get decent seats? And when you get your seat you will have it without anyone taking it if you go get drinks or taking a toiletbreak? And I don't need to be on the floor/pit. Cheers everyone...hope we get an announcement soon...
    Saw some things saying it may have changed to allocated areas so not sure if this is still true but ...

    I've always went for 10C early entry but you don't need to if you go just after that there will still be plenty good seats just don't leave it too late or you may be way up the back 

    People around you will keep your seat if you need to go to the bar or toilet and you will get a wristband or stamp if you are in the lower sections to let you back in 

    It really is a fantastic venue I just hope they don't change it to allocated seats
