If you're new to 10C I'd personally recommend only putting in for GA. Non-GA tix for 10C are generally terrible for high member numbers and it seems easy to get better seats for market value closer to show dates.
I disagree with all of this 100%
For real. Absolutely terrible advice.
Please elaborate. My 10C tickets have been terrible if not GA, and there are always a ton available on here and on TM closer to show dates. 10C tickets don't even provide a price advantage most of the time.
Jeez can you imagine just going to a show and not having to get ridiculously close to the stage? How horrid.
I'm happy to be in the building, but why would I not try to get the best seats possible? Especially after 10C put me directly behind a beam at Fenway, and did nothing to help me out.

What isn't? Entering lottery, buying F2F, entering for Verified Fan, buying tickets that are TM premium, not realizing that entering lottery means you will be charged for everything you win.....
This board is full of these posts from people. Over and over and over again.
They need to start using more crayons to explain the process to everyone...
Hello, this is my first time with the lottery. Are you saying that if you enter the lottery you are charged for whatever tickets you are offered, even if they aren't great and you would want to decline them?
Yes
Thank you for this info! I was assuming both my bf and I would each enter the lottery, but now that approach seems risky. So do other couples/groups only have one person enter the lottery?
Both my husband and I put in for all shows we want. If we both win, we sell the extra pair on the TM fan2fan marketplace once it opens up.
When the tour is announced, you will receive an email from 10c with details. Read it. Then read it again. Then read it another time to make sure you understand how the lottery works.
Then come back here and ask questions again that have been answered already...(im sure ive done it too, just sayin)
I think Forum rules specify that you should ignore all instructions and then spaz out when you do something stupid and don't get tickets.
🤣🤣 I can't stand it when people say "I don't have time to read instructions.. just tell me!!"
Sounds like my students!
I can attest to that!! Explain it 4 times & put instructions on the board. Yet they still look at me like I'm speaking a foreign language.
Even with the most detailed instructions. Like, I explicitly said "you cannot use Wikipedia." Guess what I got.

I’m aligned with you. 10c tickets for those of us with high numbers are worse than what can quite easily be obtained later for about 90% of shows. There’s the occasional show where getting a ticket at all later is tough.

Then stop being a member
Paying for membership is worth it for the chance at GA. If I don't get GA, will probably sell them and upgrade later.

You will have a couple days to put in for tixx. Whatever shows you put in for you have to go to if you get tickets. So be prepared to go. Make sure you put in for Ten Club, not Ticketmaster verified fan (well you can do that too, but make sure you do ten club primarily). Read the emails carefully - it gets confusing.
Or sell on Fan to Fan if that's still a thing next time around
But if you’re seats are really crappy it’s not easy
I had upper level 10c tickets on the 2022 tour and they still sold within minutes, if not seconds, of my listing them.
Unless F2F doesn’t open right away and there are a lot of tickets on other sites right away.
If you're new to 10C I'd personally recommend only putting in for GA. Non-GA tix for 10C are generally terrible for high member numbers and it seems easy to get better seats for market value closer to show dates.
I get the logic here. I'm not saying it's for everyone, and it depends on the show. That being said, I'm glad I didn't get drawn for Wrigley 2 this year. It stung at the time. However, I most likely would've settled for pretty good seats, rather than searching for (and finding) my first pit GA experience.
I have to teach at 1, so I'll miss the moment it happens. I did move my classes online because of the snow so I might be able to get a peek on my phone.
I remember someone posted on here they had a conversation with someone at one of the shows (maybe Ohana Fest) that’s pretty connected. The guy was saying how Dark Matter has gotten solid play, solid response - like from a business sense. This probably helps the motivation to this quick turn around. Like “Hey we nailed it here. Let’s keep it rolling.” from a finite perspective, Nevermind the longevity aspect of attendance still being very good overall.

Agreed. The announcement will probably say 10 club gets some of the best seats in the house, and that’s true, but it also gets some of the worst seats in the house and dumps those on newer members while better seats are sold to the public. Sorry to be blunt but that is what has happened the last few tours.

Is today's potential announcement to confirm the dates and/or to start the 10C presale lottery?
So is Rob going to announce the dates on air roll call style?! That would be fantastic! Wishful thinking!
