Two Things: "Other" Presales and "Fall US Dates"

I'm saying this genuinely and respectfully to those that got shut out of this lottery:

(1) there are other presales out there. Send out some PMs. Find people who won and need a ticket buddy. Tickets are available to be had.
(2) if, after all that, you still can't find tickets, there are Fall US dates coming.

Please keep that in mind. This forum can't be filled with 30 threads about how much the lottery sucks every time someone doesn't win. Imagine what will happen during those fall tour sales? Yikes!

So don't sweat. Hope is not lost. This is supposed to be fun, and there are a lot of us who will help if we can.

    There are many people who don't go solo to shows. There are many people who will be unable to travel to the fall US shows, all 9-10 of them. All these threads about hope don't help either for all of us who go shut out right now either.

    Great points. There are always other tickets available and great members on here that help each other out. I'll be at Wrigley, but here's hoping that Fall US Dates means a show (or 2) in MN!!!

    Well, my underlying point was that all the bitching probably isn't helping either. Has it gotten anyone tickets yet? Will it result in tickets? Nope. A thread with suggestions and a positive spin might though.

    If you want me to call a spade a spade, I will: the level of entitlement among 10c members is un-fucking-real. If you want me to still be helpful, I'll can do that too: there are at least 2 presales I know of, plus the public sale, and always lots of 10c tickets available through members. I'm saying this as respectfully as I can. I know it sucks to get shut out. I've been there. And you have a right to be mad. But people are acting as if the world has ended, in spite of the fact that only a minority of tickets were likely sold AND that there are fall dates coming.

    You can bitch or you can soldier on. My guess is only one of those choices will result in getting tickets.
