upon applying for 2 shows and not getting either i started to get pissed...WTF!! how can this be God?! why?why?WHY?!!! I've been a good boy..what about good Karma for being a giving loving person? GRRRR..fuck everyone!! i hate you all!!.....I started to snap at my wife and kid...i kicked my cat in his little mocking ass!!meow that asshole!........then the anger gave way to depression....why God? don't you like me any more?

Maybe it's a conspiracy! yeah that's it! Ed saw my anti-Obama posts and said "Ummmmm..Ahhhhhh..Make sure that fucking guy doesn't get tickets!" yeah that's it!!.. Ed you prick! how could you? after all we've been through, through the years!...or maybe it was Kat/Sea/Santos....yeah..that's it! for that time i returned that thin ass hoody! WTF?! I buy almost every poster you sell..doesn't that count for something?!!FUCK!!



so now here i am at work the next day feeling gloomy as shit...no 10c tix for me!...no chance at front row for me! Ticketbastard is my only hope and i hate to even have to say that!! I keep hearing Ed's lyrics in my head "Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away" :cry: man..those lyrics have spoken to me like never before!

so dr.feelgood has prescribed me many bong hits per day to be taken with beer (after work) till Saturday when i get to wreath in pain again...fucking Ticketmaster!!! I know you don't like us PJ fans! but don't fuck with me..i'm on the edge!

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: hee,hee,ha,ha,ho,ho...thery're coming to take me away! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    This is like not even being picked for the kickball game(rather than just the last chosen) ....pure dejection!
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    Feel for you brother. I passed last year...wanting to see the whole band...and living in Texas didn't feel like traveling to see ed...then I had this last minute bus. trip to Chicago...well I posted on board and a gracious 10C member offered spare ticket. I went to the venue and there were lots of people scalping tickets for the show...and for face..so don't dispair..work it on the board..and worst case show up at the venue with some bucks and you'll be okay. Show is good and a must see but prefer Pj.

    Did pass on this years shows....after the signed SDE episode and most popular gift giver getting one.... was pretty bummed at the "random" thing...course it could have just been luck.

    Now give me some PJ shows.

    I just don't understand how people will get awarded more than one show and other nothing!? People should get one show each member. And why can't people use a debt card to pay? Money is $$

    I always pay everything I buy through the 10C with a debit card, you weren't able to?

    Hang the fuck on. Not that it's going to be the case for that many members who got selected but didn't they give winners an opportunity to back out by noon today? If so, do they select alternates? Just sayin...

    i think they said it was going to be a lottery system. a lottery means that it's all random. it means that they don't look at your personal account to see if you already have a show or not. and they never said you couldn't use a debit card. they said they wouldn't recommend it because of the issue of the holding funds and what not.
    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.

    I was under the impression you can only be picked for one show but ask for as many as you wanted to. so I asked for albany one and albany rollover. I was picked for both shows. Feeling guilty I sent rollover night back to the ten club. I hope one day we all can sing along in a ten club only show where no one will be denied a ticket. This is going to sound bad at a time like this but I also won row 2 dead centre for MSG night one 2008 lottery. There go's my karma.

    Other than everything demetrios does, this could be the coolest and most selfless thing ever done on this board. That is very cool of you. I think people tend to be a bit greedy in the number of shows they go to.

    yeah this lotto shit blows! and I'm not saying that because i lost...i think it's just as fair the old way..i rather blame my ISP or the meager processing power of my 4yr old obsolete PC for not scoring tix... after the whole box set fiasco..i don't have much faith in the "randomness" of random selections.

    So you actually believe that they've been hand-picking roughly a hundred and fifty names per EV show?
    Think Occam's Razor - the simplest answer is usually the correct one - I don't honestly believe the 10C could pick favourites even if they wanted to - that'd be an absurd amount of work for them. Considering the immense website redesign they just did, it would not have been hard for them to invest in a random number generator given the set of all 10C numbers who applied for any certain show... hell, I'm just finishing first year engineering and we were basically taught how to do that in our programming course!

    there have been some theories floating around here..one being it looks like way more newer/recent members landed tix than long time members and such..which i'm not saying is the case but i'm not saying that it isn't either.
