I was the one who wrote that there would be enough tix for the MSG shows for all fan club members who wanted to buy them. Not sure exactly how many active members of the fan club there are, but I highly doubt 8K members got tix to MSG 1.

I rememeber reading a story about band fanclubs and ticket allotments for venues, Metallica, U2, DMB and PJ were mentioned. I believe since 2003 either the venues or TM has placed a percentage on the amount of tix that can be controlled by the band for its own purposes.

Perhaps this is why they appear to be so limited to Camden, DC and now MSG?

    If we have known this for years, why are people ranting about how the 10c sucks? A suggestion for the people who got MSG1 tix, let those who didn't get MSG2 tix.

    Oh no I want both - let's just trash the 10c!
