I wonder what they'll do with tickets for shows that don't sell out. We know the markets that sell out immediately, but there are always some that take a couple days or even a couple weeks. After the whole lottery/preference process is sorted out will they put up shows for purchase where there are tickets still remaining?

I immagine they get released to the public sale if they are not all sold- another thing for people to think about when slecting shows

PLEEEEEEEEEASE a Benny Hall or backpack for me!! PLEEEEEASE!!!!

Oh & it worked fine for me once I could get in. Good on 10c for trying a new system. Lets hope it makes things better.

If you select a max of 1 show... and pick all 15 shows in priority order... then you will only get selected for one show. You don't get tickets for all 15 and then get to pick and choose. The system randomly picks people. If your name was drawn for your 4th 8th and 12th choice show... and you have a max set to 1.. you'll get your forth choice and the other 3 will be given to someone else.

ok,in better english,that i was trying to say!..great idea.

I really like this as well. (Sounds like it might be tough for a programmer though. This is also a backup to make sure someone who wants to go to at least one show doesn't get shut out (especially if they only put in for NY). Also ensures 10C sells another set of tickets.

The issue is that cities like NY, Boston, Philly already may have more 10c members living in the area alone than the allotted 10 amount. Then throw in everyone not from that area also trying for these tickets. I don't think that will work like you think.

Yes, of course getting club tickets is a main reason to be a member.

Tell that to the guy who lives in South Africa...

In my onw case, I've been a member from 98 to 02, back in 2006 and counting... 2 shows in my city so far: tickets are out of the picture... though your comment makes a lot of sense...

i agree with all..
and really,if someone want to see 11-12 times,there are spares out there,and other than fan club tix..
if u dont score to all shows that you want,doesnt mean you cant go to the show

if someone can afford 10+ tickets and afford the time off to do that, that someone surely can afford a ticket anyehere in the venue, even from scalpers...

the purpose of this one week trial is giving enough time for those who are constantly checking the boards and those who aren't enough time to try this new system, get tickets, cancel tickets, rearrange the schedule, take part on the contest of course, but mainly, to see how this new system works for us, works for the ticketing, and of course, how long will it take before it crashes... this is a trial, it's not definite, the ticket terms and conditions we see now during this trial may change in the future, and probably when this is for real, it won't be as smooth... but this trial as it is gives you the chance and time to think and choose as many shows as you want without risking the site goes down before you can place the order, and therefore you get more chances to be drawn, not because the number of entries, we all lose there, but because the systems allows you to pick more shows... besides, even though they are gonna miss getting texted, people from Eastern Europe won't have to stay up until sunrises to get tickets...

So, probably a stupid question but the Benny doesn't say it is the vinyl set. Couldn't it be the CD set? I realize the email says rare but all the other merch specifically says vinyl. Not trying to be a negative nancy but was curious since everyone seems to be assuming it's the vinyl.

It says "box set." The Cd was not released as a box set. Just a fairly normal looking cardboard bootleg package. Only the vinyl was released as a box set.

Phew, that had me worried for a second there too.

Gotcha, figured there was a reasonable explanation!
