Real problem with this is only announcing 2 shows at a time

Supply and demand, announcing only 2 shows at a time is the problem I highly doubt as many 10c members from all over the world be heading to London ontario in a Tuesday if all fall your dates were announced

The last 6-7 years of touring have ridiculous for planning to go to shows this is no different

Sincerely
Bitter angry 10c member from London ontario

    completely agree. the last well thought out tour was the 2006 tour. you knew your options early across all continents.

    You hit the nail on the head with this one. If this was even a 5 show mini-tour, less people would have been shut out.

    Great point here. Such a headache, announce them all at once so people don't have to guess whether they'd need to fly somewhere or could catch a gig within driving distance. Stop with the 3 shows announced here, 4 more there, add a show here. They should know the demand in certain places by now, right?

    This is exactly the problem. Too much demand, not enough supply. Tickets are going to be tough to get from here on out, unless the band suddenly decides to actually tour like they used to.

    Exactly. Its why I didnt even bother this time.
    Im just sit back and wait for a few more shows/mini tour. If I dont get it, I throw on touringband2000.

    I see your point, but if they announced the entire tour and ran into a problem, even after the mini test they did for the fake dates, everyone would be going bonkers.

    Look the bottom line, unless they can secure more tickets than the venue will allot away from the likes of a TM/Live Nation there is always going to be someone out looking in.

    Even then, when they were able to get superior quantities of people into a well planned tour ala 2003 or 2006, there were people constantly complaining about where their seats were compared to long term members.

    I disagree with you, people would be complaining but only about where their seats were located not that they couldn't get any, I can't remember anyone in 2003 or 2006 (besides msg maybe) complaining that they couldn't get 10c tickets
