Got the two I put in for, Vancouver. However every other tour, maybe I was lucky, but i got GA for each number 1 priority show (non on east coast USA, but Seattle, Van, Europe and MIssoula) I tried for.
Long story short I got P1 for both Vancouver shows. I know Vancouver, I could get tickets day of in good location no matter what. So I took a chance to get GA as that's the only benefit. I will probably will be on the floor 20 rows back in 10c seats of which I'd rather be in the top row nosebleeds.
10C value gone. It will be tough to do, but I am very very close to pulling the plug on this membership I have had for 20 years. I know stories for those on the east coast is much worse so I should consider myself semi lucky, but compared to previous lottery's this one is a joke for 10c members
I wasn't intending to give you a hard time. I asked because, if it had really been 1990, that would have been a story unto itself as to how you were familiar with the band in its infancy, and I would have wanted to know more. You could have been at the Off Ramp or something. As I noted in my reply, 1991 is still pretty early, and is likely also an interesting story. How did you become aware of the band in the fall of 1991 when the album was brand new and they were not yet getting much radio or any MTV airplay? Were you a Mother Love Bone fan who was plugged in to what those guys were going to do next?
With respect to the dates, they are second nature to a lot of us in the fan club, so 1990 and 1991 are very distinct years in terms of Pearl Jam for a lot of us. Again, I'm not knocking you for misstating the date-- just trying to convey why you saying 1990 would make me go, "Wow, really? 1990?!"
I was a Mother Love Bone fan yes, but it was most likely Boston radio WFNX...trying to tune in from NH, lots of fuzz...it was the best back then. All the kids who wanted more than mainstream listened to it. I was crushed when it went off the air many years later. And like I said I don't remember the exact date of course, but I assumed it was 1991 because I dropped out that year and it was a college friend who reminded me of the conversation.
question: did the confirm email go to your email address linked to your Ticketmaster account or Ten Club account (if they are different)? Like, do you have a Gmail account with the Ten Club and a Yahoo account with Ten Club?
People scoring GA for 2 nights in the same city and others getting shutout. What a great system!
It’s sickening. I don’t get it. Awesome for the people that got several GA tickets while some couldn't score a ticket to a single show, not even in the rafters.
My theory is that, for every post someone made complaining about prices, seating blocks, website functionality, etc., the Ten Club removed one ping-pong ball from the lottery hopper for that person.
Got reserved seats both nights at Wrigley! I'm stoked! First PJ show since 2016. Had tickets for 2020 St Louis for covid to hit and I couldn't go when it got rescheduled. Last year I got shut out of both nights of St Paul. So I'm back in the game going to PJ this Labor day weekend!
With taxes included, reserved seating in Baltimore is $52 more per pair than GA at Fenway.
Vancouver tickets ended up anywhere from US$30 to US$45 less than the other western U.S. shows. (Vancouver was US$155; other shows ranged from $186 (L.A.) to $200 (L.V.).) Oddly, when I average out all ten shows, it comes to almost exactly $185.00 per shows thanks to Vancouver's cheaper tickets offsetting the taxes at other shows.
So hooray for Canada, and hooray for Inglewood, where the tax on a $372 pair was only $2.20.
Damn it looks like I struck out for both nights in philly. :(
That sucks. I’m sure this has been discussed elsewhere, but it’s pretty surprising that they didn’t apply the MSG rules (i.e. you can only win one night max) to Philly. My original takeaway was that they felt they had gotten enough tickets to satisfy the demand, but I guess not.
As soon as priority was eliminated it was guaranteed that we would see some fans win multiples and others not at all. Please bring back priority in 2025.

You might be onto something.
I've never complained once.
Went 5/5 last year
9/10 this year.
I never complained! I literally got the very last row in the UC last year. So what, I sold it and moved on! Every show I’ve had GA through the lottery, has been canceled, I moved on and didn’t demand my flights be refunded like some do! I get merch for people! What’s a guy gotta do
Very much so. It's an automated process once you list as a seller or buy as a buyer. Basically scam proof.
Sorry, I meant in the sense that it is possible to secure tickets if you don’t win via lottery. Or is TM registered sale pretty much the only hope?
Oh - depends on your city... and how much F5 you do to refresh ticket master. Philly / Seattle on F2F is going to be a hard ticket. I bet they get snatched within minutes of being posted.

Haven't posted here in a very long time, and just to say up front i'm not here to fucking rip anyone, I hold no ill will towards any of the lucky ones, and i'm not really here to bellyache, i'm not entitled to anything, not from the band, not from the people who work their asses off behind the scenes.... no one owes me a damned thing...
but i saw this and had to chime in to agree... this right here? should not be possible... and it fucking sucks that it is. I haven't been to a show in years, haven't been able to, for one reason or another... i asked for one show. philly night one, for me and my wife... and as of now it looks like i'm gonna have to pray TM let's me buy a pair... and i've seen more than a few people get both nights... it stings!
maybe i still get lucky, and if i don't, i don't... that's how a lottery works... congrats to those who won... this just sucks
Saw on a Facebook post... dude who signed up for the 10c a month ago scored GA tix at one of the shows. I understand the lotto and all (sorta), but GA after a month in the club? That's insane to me. Congrats to him, but man....
holding out hope for philly, in that i hope some of y'all still announcing you got it, JUST got the email which means they're still trickling in lol spankyMP said:
I’m sorry but it just seems totally ridiculous that someone can get all their choices and some 0 it really should be you get picked for 1 show of two in a city and that’s it! 10C stated that you can only get 1 MSG show! That should be across the board no?
