nobody sat on their computer for 1-3 hours....only to get shut out....
nobody had tickets in their cart.....only to lose them when the entered their credit card number....
nobody was charged $10,000 for tickets they never had......

Its not a perfect system(maybe a little more notice next time???)

BUT ITS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take me piece by piece.....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    To be fair though... no one sat at their computer for 1-5 hours and got tickets either :)

    I think the system is an over-reach, but hopefully more people get to go now and enjoy the shows!

    yay!!! people got to have funds held on their credit cards for tickets they may or may not even get!!! woo-hoo!!!

    lol.

    well....in my opinion....

    you will see less people on this board going to shows....

    because now 50,000 10club members have 3 days to put in their requests for tickets....right????

    thats a lot of people trying for tickets.....

    and how many pairs are available for each show??? 50?? 100???


    But I have NO PROBLEM with distributing tickets like this.....

    I'm glad I checked my email tonight. Sometimes I go days without checking it. I would have been pissed. A little more notice would have been nice, but hell, I might be going to Albany!!

    something obviously had to change.

    the frustrating manner in which we have all been
    shut out, after spending hours on end trying for tickets
    was simply maddening.

    best of luck to everyone who entered the lottery.
    Nice shirt.

    ticket limit for a regular PJ tour would suck..... though, I think you just love the request system.....

    Anyway, last year PJ tour worked out great... servers held up, and other than MSG, it wasn't hard to get tickets.

    i like the fact that you are not sitting at a computer for more than 5 minutes.....
    that you have a few days to put in your order.....

    it just makes it so much easier....right????

    for both us the fans....
    and the 10club......

    If it was a "first come, first served/sellout in 2 seconds" show there would still be people who may not have gotten tickets, but at least this way if they didn't get them it's NOT because the servers crashed, the shopping cart f-ed up, they had 27 browsers open and accidently got charged 27 times, etc. etc. Of course people are still going to be disappointed, but at least they can say they had a fair shot.

    dont like this system at all.....

    sit on the computer go for tickets you get them or you dont thats life....its all the bitchin that 10c changed to this method, its sad that 10c bends waaaaay over backwards for all the whining

    i said this in another thread ive been shut out and i have succeeded for tickets, if you dont get 10c tickets there is always ticketbastard and ebay

    if this is just for the Ed shows then i guess there is more logic to it
  • pdalowskypdalowsky Doncaster,UK Posts: 15,092
    yeah and well done for restricting ticket access to those in the states regardless of the fact they keep taking the membership dues from overseas too
  • WildsWilds Posts: 4,329
    I don't think restricting to the USA/Canada was a good thing at all. UNLESS, you are getting a European leg of Eddie only shows. Then it is a great thing. Cause even though some Euro's might have wanted to go to the US and then still hit shows in Europe, a few too many would potentially be stuck with US tickets and be pissed that they couldn't have known in advance that a local tour was coming.

    As for the rest of the world. Yeah. Not fair for sure.

    I agree! Don't do this for a PJ tour. The only thing I don't like is I can't go to multiple shows. If i fly 10 states away to see them...i don't want to go back home the next day......I wanna stay and hit 3-5 shows.

    The new system has my vote (for EV solo's, anyway). My connection is horrible at my new house. It just seems fair to everyone that we all get an equal chance.

    If the demand for this leg is real high, I predict we may see a record number of bitch threads(which is saying something on this site) once folks don't get selected for tix after having purchased the opportunity.
    I suspect Philly and Albany will be the most likely locations for a lot of folks to get denied.

    I agree that this system is fine, for the solo shows. They are a special treat, and sitting there at the show last August, it actually felt like we were all lucky lottery winners. I dont mind that the playing field is leveled for this... even though I figured out a good 'system' for pulling tickets quickly.

    However, I really hope a main PJ tour is run like it was last time. With the lottery for the 1st 2 rows.

    oh are you kidding? we've only seen the beginning of the bitchin', wait until they send notification of who won and who didn't.... I can only imagine what the board will look like that day! :?

    oh yeah its all fine and dandy now that we arent on our computers for three hours... however some of you might be bitching once you dont get picked for the lottery ya'll think is so great now...


    me, presonally i like the old way... i didnt care if i had to sit threre for hours, at least i knew whether i got my tickets or not.

    look at the tower theater... how many people do you think signed up for the lottery? if that place only holds about 2500 people... tenc only gets 10% of tickets at a venue... if they are upholding their normal procedures... that means tenc is only pulling 125 names....so in essence we are all gonna be scrambling to tm or the stubhub

    I hope this isnt the way they will do things for pj tour, and am hoping they are doing this for just ed, as the venues are smaller... the only problem i had getting tickets was msg last year... seems like a lot of the people who are bitching about the previous ticket policy are newer members... and maybe im wrong but it seems like some of you are pretty young (not that there is anything wrong with that) and might not be able to afford to go to many shows at all... i think if you have a job and have the $$$, than you should be able to go to as many shows as you would like...

    ...but who knows what the tenc will do for pj tour extravaganza '09/10
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...
