    0-2 in Hollywood. Oh well, they’ll definitely be back in Florida soon, right? RIGHT?!
    I haven’t gotten anything on FL. Did you get an email??
    I didn’t receive an email stating I was selected and given the time passed since others have, I assume I got shut out.

    I assume the same for me.  

    First off, there's no sane reason for them playing the Hard Rock Hollywood, vs. the Kia Center in Orlando for example, with a much better central location and it has about three times the capacity.

    Secondly, you think that they'd have perfected the system after about 34 years.  Why should I hang on to a 20+ year old membership (208XXX) if I can't get in the house in my home state for at least one of two shows?  


    Yeah I was surprised to see that they weren’t returning to Sunrise like they did in ‘16. Saw them there that night - great show. Once I saw the venue, I knew odds were stacked against me. I’ve been lucky every lottery before though, so I can’t complain. Just tough for me down here because they rarely play FL anymore so I have to travel to see them and that ain’t cheap.

    Weirder and weirder with TicketsToday, but I'm gonna take this as a good sign. 1-4 it seems. 




    And they show your seat location. You are the first one to know their reserved seats, I think. You've definitely experienced a glitch in the Matrix.

    Oh, damn. Was that from your email, or the TM website that lists your lottery submissions?

    The seats assignment is from an email, but it's another weird one from TicketsToday. I'm not 100% convinced those will actually be my seats in the end, but I do feel confident that I won Pitt N2. 1-4!

    Awesome, it'll be interesting if those are legit. I'm 499XXX so I wonder how those would compare. It's close to the section I was expecting, but maybe I'm being far too optimistic.

    I really thought Raleigh would be a “everyone in the door” show.  I’m really surprised people got shut out there.  
    I really don’t think the band thinks of these things. 
    I just meant odds wise.  I thought Raleigh would be a show where everyone who put in for it ended up getting tickets.

    Live and die by F2F.  It’s great if you miss out on tickets in the lottery but it also encourages people to put in for more shows than they’re realistically planning to see. But they can have a buy now and figure it out later mentality with being able to drop seats on F2F down the road.  

    Maybe they just need to make tickets totally non transferable and eliminate F2F.  Then people will have to be way more selective and it will cut down on entries.

    As long as 10C is selling tickets they seem to not give a shit anymore who gets them. 

    There used to be a huge risk putting in for shows and winning with willcall being the only option for receiving tickets. Now as you said people can just put in for whatever and figure it out later hurting the people that just want a couple of specific shows. No priority on top of that makes it even harder to hit that show you really want to see. 

    Now 10C is likely selling more tickets than ever in the smaller markets with people gambling for GA. Those tickets will hang on fan to fan never selling but who cares they are sold already I guess.

    Honestly priority and will call is almost as perfect as a system you can get imo. With correct odds being displayed too. We were spoiled for years with that system looking back at it and what we have now.

    Maybe they could have limited people to one night won per city since it’s such a short tour.  Like how they’ve done with MSG in the past.

    For Hollywood and maybe Pitts that should have been a given. With the other cities if they wanted to implement something like that have a lotto for night 1. Then do night 2 only considering those that missed N1 or only wanted N2. Then if there are tickets remaining for N2 have another lotto to fill it with the winners of N1. 

    Its not hard to make it more fair. But I am on the losing side here the last couple of lottos so maybe I am a bit biased lol.

    Like I said, there is virtually no risk it and putting in for every show if you have the funds and can know that you can definitely sell them later and then maybe get lucky with some general admission shows that kind of stuff so basically for the thousands of 10 club members who will go to every show if they get tickets there's no risk of just going for it definitely in my opinion need to go back to the priority system and I really wish 10 club would be in charge

  • Totally agree on nontransferable tix. The best system I've seen was for Radiohead way back in 2012. You show up at the gate and give them the CC you bought tix with. They stick the card in the machine and tix print. No CC, no tix. I dunno why everyone hasn't gone to that. Wait, I do, its the money.

    Unfortunately the band's current touring practices have created a system of haves and have-nots.   The band stills makes great music, still puts on a great show, and have every right to run their business however they see fit.  However, the way in which they currently tour does support a system where only some can see them.  Because they only hit certain cities, most have to travel see them which requires the financial and schedule flexibility to do so.  Even when they hit major cities where travel may not be required, because they hit so few places on a single leg, it makes it difficult to obtain tickets.  If you have the financial flexibility you can put in for all shows and increase your potential odds for winning.  If you have the schedule flexibility, you can go anytime during the week or spend the time on f2f to potentially get tickets.  Like I said, the band can run their business however they sit fit, but the unintended consequence is the current system where if you have the means you have a much better chance of seeing them live.  
    Most people at shows are not traveling to see them. Most people at the shows are local. The vast majority of people attending shows are not posting about it here. They're just "regular" fans who go to one show.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    0-2 in Hollywood. Oh well, they’ll definitely be back in Florida soon, right? RIGHT?!
    I assume the same for me.  

    First off, there's no sane reason for them playing the Hard Rock Hollywood, vs. the Kia Center in Orlando for example, with a much better central location and it has about three times the capacity.

    Secondly, you think that they'd have perfected the system after about 34 years.  Why should I hang on to a 20+ year old membership (208XXX) if I can't get in the house in my home state for at least one of two shows?  


    It's not that you "can't"; it's that you didn't. Your membership gave you the opportunity to try for those tickets before non-members. It didn't guarantee that you would actually get the tickets. That's the benefit. It may not be enough to justify membership for some members, but that's all it has ever promised.

    If that is true, then how they tour is still creating a system of have and have-nots.  The people in states/cities they have not been to in over 10 years haven't had an opportunity to see them live if the majority are locals.  If you happen to live in a location where they don't tour often and don't have financial or schedule flexibility you are out of luck.  I'm not saying they have to do anything about it.  I'm just merely pointing out the reality of many of us who are in this position.
