Anyone else notice for most of the arena shows there is a center stage piece that jets out ( never seen that for PJ) and two shows in the US have full floors that look to be GA, with "pit" and Floor" 

Pit = GA
Floor = Seats

I believe

It would be nice to have some transparency in terms of % of standing tickets going to 10c. at least people could make some informed decisions.. or take back the odds %.. I guess the new way is better to hide TM nasty bussiness

Yeah, I really liked the old system. It kinda made things fair across the board, and gave everyone a chance to get into some shows as a #1 option. You don’t know what’s going on here/now, but like u said it takes accountability off 10 clubs and puts it on Ticketmaster ☺️

Two Quick Questions:

1)  If I try to register for tickets using BOTH methods, can I get stuck with two pairs of tickets to the same show?  I would have thought I should ONLY try for Tenclub tickets but I'm seeing people say register for both.  If you get tickets you're auto-charged no matter what methods it seems like.

2) Any strategy if there's two nights in your city but you can only realistically attend one of them?  I can put in for surrounding cities too.  In the past I just put in for as many tickets as I could but at these prices I realistically only want to go to one show.  Tricky. 

Thanks for any feedback!

1) No. Verified fan will just send you a presale code and you will know whether you hit Ten Club tickets or not and whether you need/want to use it.

2) If your 10C number is good, put in for both. Should be easy to unload the extra pair on TM if you hit both. If your 10C number is bad it's more gamble than strategy 

Except (for #2) it says the tickets are non-transferrable and non-sellable...  that's BS

You can sell them back on Ticketmaster via F2F. You just can't sell/transfer outside of that system.

Ah ok so just no Stubhub or 3rd party...  TM wants to keep all those reseller fees 

TM doesn't make anything on fan2fan, they get bought and sold at the same price.  I'm still shocked they were willing to create it

Concert tickets have been spiking in price every tour for most big acts, it’s not a gradual increase. I think it’s finally hit my tipping point where I can’t justify travelling to shows

I get that the PJ 2022-shows were pre-covid and inflation 2020-priced. So there would be a hike in price.

But I paid alooooot less for Rolling Stones in 2022, Taylor Swift this year and Bruce Springsteen last year. And those acts do not have the fan-friendly guise of Pearl Jam. I paid less to sit at the front row of a Bob Dylan show, and his crowd are well-off SAAB-driving intellectuals looking for a nice night out.

And the only major artist more fan-friendly than Swift is probably Garth Brooks.

I'm not getting the Cure reference. Enlighten me.

but there seems to be a catch...

 I read "Fans who are unable to use their tickets can sell them through Ticketmaster Resale at the original price paid. However, you must have a valid bank account or debit card in the country of the event(s) to sell your ticket". I think this is a great thing indeed, but Is that confirmed and does anyone have experience with this from the 2022 tour? Just trying to figure out how to re-sell if something happens, since that may mean making a bank account only for that..

So no more early entry or did they just forget the info about that?

I think that is the main question... and no mention at all..

Is it fine to go for as many shows as we want? If my first prioritiy is NY I used to be able to say that. I can go to NY and Boston. If I put in NY2, Boston1, Boston 2, will the Boston shows affect my chances of getting NY? Or do I have even chances of everything? It used to be that you basically HAD to put NY2 as your first priority to get it. Without priority will they give me boston1 or boston 2 and then deprioritize me for NY? Or can I safely put in for all 3 and have even chance no matter what other shows I also request? (Besides NY1)

I believe

right, take a look at the maps for Seattle and Portland, the Floor is one large block not smaller sections as floor has been setup and is setup in other venues.. leads to suggest that floor for those shows is also GA section behind pit

No priority and two seating tiers makes it virtually impossible to have any sense of oversight on how TM runs the lottery. It will be interesting to see if there are a bunch of PJ Premium seats in these sections that are being displayed as fan club lotto seats. I guess I hope PJ's contract still has clear guidelines on how many TC seats per show and in what areas, but I don't know why I would believe that.

I've seen this question on many different platforms but seems at this point nobody has the answer. I do wonder. If the 10c tickets don't have the early entry for GA anymore and if they are more expensive than non-10c tickets then why should one buy the 10c tickets? This is a genuine question as someone who never went with the 10c tickets. But apparently this time is quite a different lottery and ticketing system even for 10c veterans

crazy, this should be the first point they would address in the FAQs and they didn't

NH87

Does anyone happen to know what blocks PK2 in Berlin represent? Some digging online suggests potentially B, D and G, but was hoping someone on here might know for sure? Thanks!

Didn't get an email when I first requested Ten Club tix. Tried a 2nd time. Took a while until I got confirmation for both. I just saw another from ticketmaster support that the first one was canceled. Do they send a confirmation for the one they charge the $1?

Because it guarantees you tickets if you're selected, which is a better chance than going against the general public. 

Falling Down

Ticket prices are high. No doubt about it. But on my end, I find it difficult to complain since I usually pay 4 to 6 times (sometimes higher) more on travelling costs then on the tickets. So I guess I’ll just travel less

Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen are pretty damned fan-friendly. Springsteen got roasted when he had Premium tickets because everyone expects his tickets to be affordable. And the only major artist more fan-friendly than Swift is probably Garth Brooks.

Swift fan friendly? Maybe on face value tickets, but if she wanted to avoid young fans opening credit cards to afford tickets, she could implement nontransferable tickets and fan-to-fan. Wouldn't fix the crazy demand, but would avoid $3,000+ third market tickets. 

Over her entire career, she has gone out of her way to do nice things for her fans. Unprecedented demand for the most recent tour caused a lot of problems, but it doesn't wipe out all of the time and attention she has given her fans for the past 18 years.

I can't even sign up for 10C tix:

Bad Request - Request Too Long

---

HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.

I was having this issue when my computer was slow.  I switched to a non-chrome browser and got through.  

It worked through Safari

Thanks everyone! 

Nice!

I was able to do it just now and it went through this time without getting that Bad Request, but when I did it said I was replacing the one I did over 3 hours ago. I NEVER got a confirmation email for that one.

 I'm wonder If I'll actually get a confirmation this time?(we shall see)

No you won't get two sets of tickets if you put in for both methods. You'll get one or the other...or possibly neither. 

There is no option for GA only, so they would always default back to a seating option if GA fails. No need to select both options, redundant.

I just figured the 'floor' is just one big section of seats organized into rows and seat numbers without the smaller sections element. It is a bit unclear, but GA seats on the floor would kind of be hilarious. Who knows.
