i have a feeling this may end up like the autographed reissue of 10....
only a few people will be on this board announcing that they got Ed solo tickets.......
The same amount of people will get tickets no matter how they go on sale though.
not really sure what you are saying here....
the same amount of people will get tickets????? agreed...
and with this system everyone has the same chance of scoring tickets.....right???
again...im sorry....but im not really sure what your getting at....
Just regarding the post about people bitchin that they didnt get tickets, the same amount of tickets are being sold and the same amount of people will bitch they didnt get them.
I'm not really sure what I am saying anymore..Sorry :oops:

Very true, but the last time Philly bitched over tickets was with the whole Wachovia and Borgata debacle in 2005 and that led to the infamous unfulfilled promise by Kat of the "Big, Bold, Beautiful and Free" thing.
i am not sure what i am saying anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehehehehehehehe

Hey there, Buuudy

and as far as putting a cap on this lottery???
limiting it to the first 1000 people????
im gonna say NO....
these are special solo shows....at smaller venues....
with only 50-100 pairs(maybe more, maybe less) available....
the 10club found a way for every member to get a fair chance at scoring tickets...
the 10 club gave us 3 days to put in our requests.....
some people cant sit at a computer in the middle of the day and try for tickets....
everyone has a fair chance.....
to me it just seems like the 10club did the best thing..............
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

In hindsight, I think you are right and I'm over estimating the number of people going for tickets.
Now obviously none of us have access to numbers of people trying, but if you go on the goods page, 10 club memberships and renewals are still outselling any show on sale. I've read on here estimates that the fan club is about 50,000 or so.
So if that were the case, I can't see much more than a thousand people each week renewing or joining the club at any one time which means that most likely none of the shows even have a thousand people going for them yet.

i thought your first estimate of 2-3k trying for tickets was LOW!!!! i thought it would be more like 3-5K....
but it just goes to show....
NEITHER of us has a fucking clue!!!!!! hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
personally i think this way of doing tickets sucks ass. mainly because i'm greedy and selfish and want the opportunity to try for tickets to as many shows as i could afford. however, i am very thankful that we as pearl jam fan club members even have a shot for tickets at all. by all rights the tenclub could say hey fuck you guys we dont have shit to do with ed we are busy working on the upcoming pearl jam tour leaving all of us to fend for ourselves on ebay and tm. the fact that they took the time to save tickets for each venue and go through all the trouble to make sure we at least got a taste is pretty fuckin cool. i for one, will be happy regardless of if i get a show. between ed, tool, and pj.....fuck it's gonna be a fun year.
if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.
im thinking that once the initial SHOCK......of not being able to purchase tickets to every single show....
has settled in....
people will realize that this was a fair system......and it gave everyone a fair chance.....
Actually the only fair complaint which I can see (and it is a slight one), is that for those who live in or near a particular city (philly, albany, Bmore) which do not have rollover shows are only able to try for one of the two shows in the lottery. I can see allowing them only one show but at least give them the opportuntiy to be in the lottery for both shows and only allow them to purchase tickets to one.

It's NOT imaginary! I was in front once, and he reached down to get his wine bottle and I know he saw me there and smiled at me. He was totally taking the next drink as a toast to me. It was his personal thank you for the years of support I've given these band. He practically told me telepathically that he could never have gone on with the band without me!

yeah what do you care anyways right? i guess i wouldn't give a shit about the possibility of getting only one show if i wasn't going to see any of the shows either. i wonder if you would have felt the same way when you saw all those shows in years past. i doubt it. but lucky for you, you got your fill right?

WHY do we have to buy in pairs? I think we should be able to cast our "demand" ahead of time, and indicate 1 or 2 tickets. A lot of people go in pairs, but a lot of people just want one ticket. Then they can lump two demands for 1 ticket together as a "pair" and then randomly select pairs. That way more 10c peeps get to go.
Just a suggestion.

Obsessive freaks will travel to shows they wouldn't ordinarily go to. They'll schedule a few extra shows to the trip, spur-of-the moment hit up MORE extra shows, etc. They'll call their other obsessive freak friends to travel with them, thereby getting THEM to go to all the shows. Then of course you need a poster of every show you've been to, as well as a bootleg of them all to - include at least one t-shirt and two other doodads per person and it all begins to add up to a fairly significant amount per person.
Times that by the 300+ obsessive freaks here and that's got to make some kind of dent in their bank account.
I can see how people would bitch if they didn't get tickets due to the website being overloaded, but how on earth will people feel justified to complain if they are not chosen to get tickets?
Will people blame the band for their own bad luck?
Also, I wonder if those people who lobbied for the partial abolishment of seniority (so that more people would have a chance to get close) are now against the lottery system because it may lessen their chances to get tickets.
Gotta love the some of the overly self-serving people here!
Last summer I spent a couple of days and several hours each time sitting in front of my computer trying to get tickets...no luck...I've belonged to the fan club since 1995...and you know what? It all worked out...I showed up at 3 shows and had a postive attutude. I ended up in the 20th row in VA Beach, 10th row floor in DC and 10th row for Eddie Vedder in DC.
In the old days you just sent the check and the mail and went to will call and got your tickets. You didn't know where you where sitting what was sold but they always took care of you.
Yes I have seen them in the front row, the 4th row, the 5th row etc...I just felt really lucky to be there and see the band!!!
Intention is cause...meaning nothing was going to stop me from seeing the band this summer and I made it go right...just some food for thought.

Obsessive freaks will travel to shows they wouldn't ordinarily go to. They'll schedule a few extra shows to the trip, spur-of-the moment hit up MORE extra shows, etc. They'll call their other obsessive freak friends to travel with them, thereby getting THEM to go to all the shows. Then of course you need a poster of every show you've been to, as well as a bootleg of them all to - include at least one t-shirt and two other doodads per person and it all begins to add up to a fairly significant amount per person.
Times that by the 300+ obsessive freaks here and that's got to make some kind of dent in their bank account.
Besides, my life would be in ruins! :shock:
This is my kind of love...

I think that's very true for some people.
Will people blame the band for their own bad luck?
Also, I wonder if those people who lobbied for the partial abolishment of seniority (so that more people would have a chance to get close) are now against the lottery system because it may lessen their chances to get tickets.
Gotta love the some of the overly self-serving people here!
In the old days you just sent the check and the mail and went to will call and got your tickets. You didn't know where you where sitting what was sold but they always took care of you.
Yes I have seen them in the front row, the 4th row, the 5th row etc...I just felt really lucky to be there and see the band!!!
Intention is cause...meaning nothing was going to stop me from seeing the band this summer and I made it go right...just some food for thought.
I don't think they will change the way ticket buying works for full PJ shows though.......
i guess cos it didnt happen to me but
