I just received an update Email for Vancouver. It indicates all allocations have been made and they list the shows and that they are confirmed. I assume those that didn't get tix for a show will see something else.
I just received the same thing but when I log into Ticketmaster is still doesn't show any upcoming shows. Hoping to get the seat assignments soon so I can figure out what I am doing.
The timeline says the emails with access to your tickets will come by EOD Friday. Hopefully they come out before the verified fan onsale, but seems like they may come out after that.
The priority system was fair. But it required ten club to manage it manually or at most semi automatically. Since Ticketmaster took over running the draw in 2020 they attempted to automate it in the last few tours through 2023 and failed to program it correctly. Like, people who had a show 5th were getting it over people who had it first. In the pure priority logic that can never happen but it happened a lot from 2020-23. Rather than fix the system logic, they just threw it out the window completely this year.
I got some but not all of my entries so I don't feel like I did better or worse than I would have with priority. But there are plenty of people who got more than they should, or less than they should. It's a shame. I'm not a programmer but it surely can't be that difficult for people who know what they're doing to create the logic. I mean what are the fees meant to pay for if not administration of the ticketing platform.
What do you mean by getting more than or less than they should? Why are their tiers of fans in your mind? It's a lotto with an equal chance for everyone.
I mean if the priority system was in place there wouldn’t be very many people striking out completely or getting everything they apply for. The prioritization takes some of the randomness away. That’s all. It’s not a tiers of fans thing at all.

Looks like a was a semi bonehead when reading the details. I did enter the Ten Club lottery and did pretty well with what I was hoping to get. I did not enter the presale Ticketmaster draw which happens on Friday. When is the general sale for everyone going to happen? Hopefully I can pick something up F2F because I have had terrible luck with Ticketmaster in general.
In case anyone is as confused as I was about this process, here are all of the details via Ticketmaster. And here is the PJ page explaining similarly.

Just noticed this...and I think it was brought up on the FB tour page...I got both nights for Chicago and Boston, but saw that taxes were charged for the Chicago tix and no tax for the Bostone ones. So I guess the $175 price was not all-inclusive as maybe alleged?

Each locality has its own tax laws. For example, Las Vegas tickets have a live entertainment tax that took the price from $185 to $199.58. Inglewood, where the Forum is, had like a half-cent tax, so a $372 pair had only $2.20 in tax added to it. And Vancouver had no taxes added at all to the CA$208.70/US$155.08 price.
My maximum total across all shows from my confirmation email was correct down to the penny, including no taxes in Boston and $32.20 in taxes for Baltimore.

For mine, the cheaper Vancouver tickets offset the taxes on the various U.S. tickets almost exactly, so my overall average ticket ended up being almost exactly $185.00 despite my average U.S. ticket price being more like $193.00.
Unfulfilled notices are officially arriving. I just received two Baltimore and Philly

If you don't feel like waiting for the rejection email, you can probably confirm your rejection here.

Another shit show of a lottery. Apparently there isn’t a reason that have a fan club membership anymore.
Why do so many people have trouble with this? The membership gives you access to the lottery. It does not guarantee you success in the lottery. Your best chance to get the best seats is through the lottery. If you are not in the fan club, you do not get that chance. You can take your chances in the general onsale, or on F2F drops, but both of those options will offer fewer of the best seats available.

Yep. Many members scored 10c tickets. Many did not. Same as it ever was and this was very easy smooth even though the tickets could have been distributed more fairly.

The issue people have with this is that being a paid member of the fan club used to damn near guarantee you tickets. But every year the 10C keeps changing the lottery. Last year they dropped the GA only option. This year they dropped the priority selection (because apparently for some people it was too confusing. LOL). So now it is a completely random "shit show."
I don't think people have trouble understanding this. But people like you probably put in for 25 shows and get 17 of them. When some people put in for one show and get zero so therefore the frustration is in some way valid. So enjoy the air up there buddy.
Signed up for 10C sale for both NYC shows and Philly. Just got the email. Didn't get any. I signed up for the 10C a few years back (been a fan since the '90s) just to get access to tickets and haven't been able to get them fulfilled for the last few tours. Pretty frustrating.

I might go if I get some off FTF. I go Australia often. I missed the deadline for ten club seats by 30min. 5am our time! I thought I had another day.
