I bet it's easier to allocate everything randomly without regard to who won other shows, than it is to take the time try to appease as many fans as possible.
I'm sure it is easier. The problem is that easier isn't better. Long standing 10c club members have an expectation, despite what the terms and conditions say, that those decades of 10c membership will mean something. Taking the time to design a lottery that satisfies as many people as possible, especially if seniority was no longer going to be honored, would have been the right thing to do.
I'm sure the band is aware of the problems. It probably drives them crazy. They are musicians not data scientists.
Hope everyone gets what they want.

I think there will be plenty of wrigley tix. I don’t think scalpers will be able to make much more than face value for half the seats. Patience is the key.
I would not be so sure... I attempted to secure tickets in 2018 @ Wrigley and just about everything was well over face value. I resold my PJ tickets for the 2022 in NJ and they were lawn seats at face value F2F and they sold within 2 minutes of posting them. I think some on here are underestimating the demand for PJ shows.
At UC last year uppers were not selling for face. People had to lower the price. Much bigger venue after playing two Chicago shows just a year ago, I'd be shocked if there aren't $100 tickets available on stubhub on show day
That'd be great for locals, but for anyone with a career, kids, pets, house, and life and does not live right there in the area, it is difficult to plan a few days before or day of a show...
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. The availability of tickets and pricing trends should be evident far enough in advance that you won't have to make a last minute decision.
Prices for tickets will often drop to much lower numbers a few days before or day of, so peeps are not left holding a ticket is my point. Unless you plan far enough ahead in hopes you'll score, it is unlikely an individual could drop everything last minute and purchase said cheap tickets is my point.
Understood but the market demand for these shows and your need to plan ahead are really separate issues. Based on last year's UC shows, I don't think the person you were responding to is underestimating demand. And that should be evident far enough in advance not to require dropping everything at the last minute (though the best rock bottom prices tend to be close to show time).
I have 4 kids and we bring the whole circus with us when we go on the road for a pearl jam show. Certainty of cost when everything you do from meals, to travel, to admissions for other tourist spots is up to a multiplier of 6 is important. Not to mention managing everyone's expectations and making sure we hit plenty of stuff to interest everyone, not just Pearl Jam. It's really not as easy as you're making it sound.
I'm not purporting to give you advice on planning a family vacation. The topic at hand is whether attending Wrigley will require paying scalper prices. It won't.
And for those that need months of planning time, note that last year's UC shows never even sold out. Upper level rear stage seats were always available at face value as soon as they went on sale. If upper level Wrigley seats are also $175 plus tax, I'd wager those don't sell out either. So you'll be able to buy as soon as the VF sale is over. But since some of the uppers were not included on the 10c map, maybe they will have a lower price tier for those
Also - keep an eye on ticket drops day-of the show. Doesn't work if you need to travel in, but I had ended up with behind the stage seats for United Center N2 last year. Ended up buying lower bowl seats that dropped on TM a few hours prior to the show and flipped the behind the stage seats for the cost of a t-shirt.

I completely agree with the first bolded part.
I don't agree with the second bolded part. Maybe they're aware, but I don't think they care or it drives them crazy.
Thank you, 10C.... these will be the best seats I ever had.
Which 10c number do you have?
425XXX
Interesting. I‘m sitting in 112 and I have 203XXX. How can that be?
102 may be considered "side view" by TM and therefore not as good as sections further out (by their criteria). That happens often, but in reality, side view seats are usually darn good.

For those grumping about the Baltimore seating - it's a tiny venue, with everything packed in. I sat in that L shaped section all the way in the back for Springsteen and it was FINE!
