    you can take me of the list please.

    I managed to score a spare.. good luck everyone.. I'll be trying with general sale so If i get lucky, i'll have at least one spare to offer, if I get some.

    Will ticketmaster even have any? The gig isn't listen on their site. Niether is it in HMVs ticket section. The only site that has it listed at the moment is ticketweb :?

    Hi guys, back home and I've updated the list of those wanting tickets.

    i dont like the ratio of like 1000 people wanting to 3 spares :lol:

    This is a concern at the moment... :lol: However from the positive response this thread has recieved, and the many selfless fans who despite having tickets, are trying the general sale anyway in order to give spares to this thread, fills me with hope that this is going to work, at least to some extent.

    Ok, I'm thinking of making some updates/amendments to the first post.

    Firstly, the number system is pretty useless at this stage, everyone is a number 7. There are a few that did not enter the 10C presale lottery, but most people seem to be of the opinion that this lottery should be kept only for those who did enter this presale but did not win a ticket. Please feel free to disagree with me, but it is the general impression I have gathered over the course of the last few pages. So I suggest we remove the numbers.

    Secondly, we had decided on this before, but thought I should mention it again before I put it in the first post. I am about to update the first post with a sentence informing everyone that the list for those 'wanting tickets' will be capped at 9am tomorrow (Thursday), and after that no more people will added to the list. This will inevitably disappoint some people, but it seems the fairest option for those on the list currently to get a chance at getting a spare.

    Thirdly, I was thinking about adding an ending date for this lottery. On this date I will write down all of the names on both the 'wanting tickets' and 'have spare tickets' lists, put them in two separate hats/containers/whatever I can find, and pull out at random two names from each hat and match them up. This seems currently to be the fairest method. I will film myself doing it and put it on YouTube to show you all. Before it was mentioned that this lottery should be a week after the general sale tomorrow morning, thus giving us a week to get spares available. So how does Thursday 30th sound? Please feel free to suggest another method of drawing tickets if you can think of one.

    Fourthly, I will add a clear sentence that reiterates the fact that this lottery is for UK/Ireland members only, and that any spares going are to be sold at face value. I've said it before, but we're not here to make money, were here to make this the best Pearl Jam gig possible by filling it with fans who truly deserve the tickets.

    Finally, a plea, many fans who already have tickets for themselves are taking part in the general sale tomorrow in order to give the spares to this lottery. This is an amazing, selfless thing to do, and I encourage as many of you as possible to do the same. I know if I successful tomorrow the tickets are going straight up for the lottery.

    Again, please criticise/advise if you disagree with anything.

    Thanks for the support everyone, and thanks to everyone who came up with ideas and changes for this lottery.

    Dont think i could agree more on your proposals, you have put a lot of effort in for others regardless of how many of us make it on the day, top work!!

    Sorry if I didnt make it clear, I meant to say that everyone will fall into category 6/7 -
    6) A 10C member, who DID NOT win tickets in the lottery, and is looking for a spare ticket.

    7) A 10C member, who DID NOT win tickets in the lottery, and failed to get HMV/O2 presale or general tickets.

    Therefore at this stage it doesn't really make any difference.

    Ames can you add some info to the first post about where everyone should be looking for tickets tomorrow? Right now, i can't find any listing for the general sale tickets on Ticketmaster or HMV, so I have no idea what's going on. The o2 Priority ticket listing disappeared yesterday as well. Do they normally just add it just before they go on sale? The only one that seems to exist right now is on Ticketweb. It'd be handy to have some info on the 1st post about which options there are for getting tickets tomorrow.

    This is an awesome thread and an absolutely fantastic idea

    At the gigs I have been too I always feel like PJ fans are different to fans of other bands I like and this proves it once again. Awesome.

    Any chance of the draw happening on the 29th though because I'll be at a festival in Knebworth on the 30th!

    Ok I'll stop being cheeky now...Good luck tomorrow morning everyone!

    Once again AD, you rule :-) That all sounds spot on!

    I can no longer find HMV info and they were useless on the phone today. I haven't been able to get any info out of Keith Prowse either and even ITB (the booking agent) has not been able to provide any further info. I have checked on seetickets, TM and others and the only link I have been able to find is the Ticketweb link. The Shep Bush site itself redirects you to Ticket web too. I am still waiting for a friend to confirm if they could find the o2 link on their priority booking thing but despite me messaging them at 8.30am today they still haven't responded, so so far, I think Ticketweb are our only option.

    My tickets are STILL in the HMV basket, might I add! DENIED!

    o2's priority tickets are looking doubtful at the moment. Ticketweb does seem to be everyone's best bet, but yeah, good idea, I'll add that to the main post now.

    I'm actually going to Sonisphere too! But I'm not going till the 31st, and its my girlfriends birthday on the 29th, so the 30th is the only day I can do it, unless someone else would like to do it if the 30th is bad for a lot of people?

    Hey, no worries. And thanks for doing this. Makes me glad to be a PJ fan.

    I'm off now. I'll be trying my hardest for tickets tomorrow. Good luck to all.
