    Do people really felt any entertainment value with their current stage set up... Did we really need to see them play evolution in front of their music video...

    I don't care much for their live theatrics, and to be honest could go on without that huge ass screen if it meant the rear seats would be open.
    My main complaint with the screen is that it makes the setlists more predictable e.g. DTE every night. But it's still awesome every time

    I was complaining about DTE in some other thread.  Too much DTE.  It has become my "time to get another beer" song.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Yeah, the screens do absolutely nothing for me. But they are clearly invested in it and I assume it shows up in these next batch of shows.

    Once again, seems there are some people hitting 80% and some hitting 10%

    It almost sounds random...
    I'm gonna complain about EV supercharged elitists removing the 3/24 show draw statistics from chuks comment , which is roughly 10%, then making jokes that its random! I don't get it bc ranking priority is too difficult of a concept for me.
    "EV supercharged elitists"? What the hell does that even mean?

    I also don't understand your substantive criticism. He said some hit 80 percent and some hit 10 percent. That was all that needed to be quoted. Why would it be necessary to include the breakdown of the ten-percent example in my reply?

    I could have been wrong but I thought you were throwing a little bit of shade at the 10% estimate. The list of shows they provided it was pretty close to 10%.[ EV stands for electric vehicle ]

    No, I was taking his numbers at face value.

    I still don't understand the "EV supercharged elitists" comment, whether you meant Eddie Vedder or electric vehicle.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I totally agree that they should go back to basics.  I liked it better when they (the band) was the focus and it could bring costs down without all the theatrics

    ...I swear I never took it for granted. Just thought of it now.

    Maybe some rich people but in my experience there's also a lot of "we maybe go to one concert a year so, whatever, we splurge" people. When you try to explain how you should play the system they look at you like you're speaking Italian.

    I liked when you could see what your odds of getting tickets were 
    I loved that...

    Especially since 75% of the people here at the time wouldn't pay attention and would still make their 4 choices....

    1. GA NYC 1
    2. GA NYC 2
    3. GA PHILLY 1
    4. GA PHILLY 2

    Leaving them with nothing. 

    This is why the priority ended. These people couldn’t grasp why they didn’t get tickets. When we had priority I always picked the less popular shows and I always got tickets. In 30 years in 10c and 70 shows I’ve never been to NY or Philly. 
    Priority needs to come back and if you can’t read directions or follow rules you don’t get tickets. 
    Priority ended because TM's system doesn't handle that, and they have no interest in developing/providing a system that does.

    10c cared if tickets were spread out somewhat equitably over the membership. TM doesn't care if some get all, and others get none. What might be considered "fair" is of no concern to them, period.

    **edit: sorry, there's no complaint stated^^
    I'm totally p***ed that TM seems to have no intention of simulating the system that the 10c handed over to them.

    I was so close to getting GA tickets for Raleigh tonight. I already carted them but someone else beat me to it eventually.
