Unfortunately, I did NOT  get any of my NY or Philly show ticket requests. (this has never happened to me before through Ten Club) 
So my question is What is PJ Premium sale?
I can log on at the same time as the ones who requested tickets and buy through that?
 is this only for Ten CLub Members who did not get their requests fulfilled? TM is saying i need a unique code for this as well?
also  anyone know General onsale date?
THANKS

    they will be available on Ticketmaster for anybody to purchase. Not sure if same time as general sale or a bit later. Can't remember. NYC tickets will be in the thousands of dollars. Regular places are 700-1000 for the best seats side stage. NY I want to say was closer to 5k. Of course 2nd level will be cheaper but still well above face..Find out soon enough

    The tickets are 175 to 185. You are talking about scalping.

    Premium is essentially PJ scalping its own tickets

    PJ Premiums are not the same price as standard tickets. They are much higher in most cases.

    Never, ever buy premium....EVER! They will drop in price. They will disappear, so you think, "well someone bought them, right?" WRONG! They take them down and relist the same dang tickets to drive fake demand. The prices will drop and they will become standard admission shortly before the show date. People who buy them get stuck with them and then complain about the prices being too dang high!

    And those who do buy them can only sell them for the price paid, Fan 2 Fan doesn't allow the seller to list them lower than the purchase price so if you bought seats at $1k and the value of that block decreased to say $500, you can still only list for the $1k and have far less chance of a resale. 
    Only buy them if you don't want to upgrade or risk losing a few dollars.

    Ok.  Thanks. I wouldnt pay that much. Id take my chances with day of show stub hub or going up to the Garden and asking fans if they happen to have a ticket (the only way I ever got into a NY PJ show without Ten Club after the 90s). But i was confused Because my email says I should be able to go to the registration sale and possibly  get "extra" tickets they are selling if I didnt get my requested shows. I will have to read the info again. THANKS

    That is not the case with MSG Premiums. And that is why they will be multiples above what Premiums are in other cities (notwithstanding the demand as well).

    Only on Ticketmaster but not on the other reseller sites in NY and IL. Both states have pro scalping laws. That's why transfers and scalping are legal there.

    They are. They give the bullshit excuse that it works to subsidize lower prices for everyone else. IDK about you but 200 bucks for a shitty seat isn't so generous to me.

    Hahah yes the band knows what’s happening. 
    Like someone said, if you’re new to this, PJ premium is essentially PJ cutting out Stubhub.  If you don’t want to pay stubhub prices, don’t buy or look at PJ premium. Just deal with Fan to fan. 
    I do know this is the first tour since 1994 that I haven’t even tried for a ticket. Been a good run.
