Thank You Ten Club for Tickets
Just want to be positive and send a thank you to TC and its staff for all the hard work and getting us members’ tickets to see shows. I have been around since the days of send payment in with paper selection and have always valued this ticket service.
You guys (TC) doing great work - it must be difficult given the scope of tours and popularity of the band. I hope all the agree will post here to demonstrate your efforts are appreciated by the majority of your members.

We appreciate you! 🙏
I've been fortunate to get some great tix or GA before and I am trying to avoid the sense of entitlement that it can create. To date, I've gotten some decent tix to the St. Paul and Austin shows and I am really trying to go in with a positive mindset to just enjoy the shows, experience, and camraderie with other 10C members.
I don't want to go in as a downer and spend the whole time complaining about how the seat assignment should have been better and ruin the experience. Heck, I was pit at OKC right in front of Mike and the number of people ignoring the music to hunt for picks on the ground with their iPhone lights was astounding. Here Mike is 10 feet away and it's like a bunch of rats looking for scraps on the floor fighting each other. Not an indictment but just an observation and it stood out to me to re-evaluate priorities and enjoy the experience.

But damn, I hate ticketmaster.
Nuclear fission
But the fact is this system since 2020 has gotten me a ticket into every show I’ve requested, even if hey aren’t the best seats. And for most dates, the F2F has allowed me to upgrade without heading over to StubHub.
The demand is clearly there on these short legs of shows, and I’m sure we’ll be upset when we see how much premium tickets take up spaces we might’ve gotten with our 10c# in the past, but still spending less than I’d expect for this band.
Hopefully they either recalibrate this lottery format or fall back to the version for 2020-2022 to avoid the mess that happened this week. I’m open to them exploring new formats to give new people a chance and to avoid scalping, but clearly there’s more work to be done.
Apologies to all of the PJ ticketing team who are catching sh*t after all this. I'm just happy they're still touring and productive and I get to see them again! In 10 years if I'm still around, my seat arrangement won't be the memory that sticks out, it will be the amazing setlists they chose for the shows... come on Eddie, you know you want to... an Even Flow-free tour would stand out in PJ history... (one can wish)
