    Everybody needs to relax! Just because the band is trying to be fair and give an equal opportunity to all their fans, new and old, does not make them money hungry or sell outs!

    Ive been a fan since about 2000 but not a fan club member until 2008 I believe. I had to travel to Newark last time to get 10C tix, which im not complaining about, had an awesome time, but i should get an equal opportunity for shows in Boston, New York, and Chicago just as much as everyone else.


    Did you win tickets for Wrigley?...Thinking you did..


    LOL, yea I think he did too.... by the way, being part of the 10c for 15 years is supposed to bring proviledges some Johnny come lately should not have, it's called loyalty


    So being part of the 10C for 4 years makes me a Johnny come lately?!?! Maybe the band is right by shutting out some of the spoiled so called "old timer" fans...Some people I feel bad for not getting tickets, but for you - Good luck on ticketmaster!
    This could be the day

    Whats the point of having seniority?...If you can't even get tickets.....I have been in the fan club since 95....I didn't try for tickets...But, I know who have been in the fan club for a long time...That didn't win...

    10c may as well away with seniority....Just pick and put fans where ever they want.....This would be one more step that would make it easier for them..

    It's all about the money folks. This band is very mainstream and commercialized. Do you think this would have happened years ago when "the band" cared about the fans, not a bunch of people in an office looking out for the all mighty dollar. This band just cares about money nowadays.

    Sure to ahead jump on me for the comment but its reality.

    What would they say if years ago their own fan club couldn't get a ticket through their own fan club. Seems silly to me.


    so newcomers getting tickets over you in a random lottery makes the band greedy? Explain

    My number is 16XXXX so I've been around for a while.... both me and my wife got shut out. I've been a member for almost 15 years and my wife for 12 years and we both got completely sut out for tickets. I am beyond pissed. I've never been shut out before via any of the old mehtods.... Just pissed right now

    I hear you....I am so upset! After almost 13 years, same thing for me and my husband and I were already looking forward to the drive and all. I probably will try to get regular tickets but I feel let down. I always say to people '' yeah, it's great, I pay $50 a year but I get to buy tickets before everyone else, get good seats and enjoy the company of fellow members...'' Now I am just wondering....

    410XXX WON!! Lower Bowl Reserve, I buddy of mine is a little high up in the fours and got PIT!!! THAT'S WHERE I WILL BE!!! This is why its called a lottery - not so the may with the lowest # gets in no matter what - You can be just as big of a fan of PJ if you joined last week as the first guy in - some people just don't get online or join in the club. Ten club has been awesome - and the ticket process is just fine the way it is.

    WRONG!!! Your not just as big of a fan if you just joined compared to those who haev been spending money and time on this fan club for as long as some of us have... that's the point the process is not fine when loyal long time consumers are treated the same as some yutz who just joined


    HAHA!!!! BACK TO MONEY!!! So the more money you give the bigger fan you are and the more you deserve??? I thought this was about music and art and love for PJ - not just a down payment on each show. Sorry there are just as big of fans (cant really say bigger in my eyes im the biggest fan) who never have been and never will be in the club. for those that joined yesterday - hope they dont read too much into these crazy posts!! BTW - I won the lotterrrrrrrrry........

    Far from spoiled.... paid my dues, worked my arse off for the tickets I have gotten in the past through time and effort. Yes, youa re Johnny come Lately and no you don;t deserve fan club tickets over those who have been fan club members for longer. It's called senority. it's something you have to work for and earn though my gues is you are some Obama voting person who thinks they just "deserve" to be given things and shouldn't have to work for them or earn them through effort and senority.... :fp:

    Brutal.
    Not sure how that is more brutal than me getting shut out with 485,XXX. I wanted to win too. ;)

    Yeah, I entered first day too. It seems to have been COMPLETELY random... and, therefore, completely fair.

    This.

    I've been in the 10C going on 11 years. I've been to more shows than I can count on two hands. I usually get pretty decent seats to every show I attend. My # is somewhere in the 23x xxx. I can honestly say I don't give a shit about where I sit anymore. I get so tired of sitting next to some loser who is pissed because they are "Always in the first 10 rows" and they happened to get seated in the 15th. "Old Timer" fans of PJ seem to think they have some sort of divine right to get killer tickets to every show. The band owes you because you're a loyal cutomer? Really? It's a fucking rock band!

    Stop bitching. Sit in the cheap seats. Drink some beers. Buy they boot when it comes out

    I get the whole seniority thing but come on. Most of you have been to 20+ plus. So your logic is I've been a member for years went 25/25 on 10c shows but this is bullshit I didn't get this show. Seems like you have a bit of self entitlement. So because someone joined in the last five years that means they shouldn't be able to go to shows because you have been a member since the nineties.

    After getting off the board I guess my complaint is lack of information from 10c. Mostly how many tixs were available. People getting shutout on all four or three options is not cool.

    This sense of entitlement because you have a low member number is a bit dramatic and really says something about you.
    My butt itches!
