My Hometown, London, ON... and I'm shut out... sigh...

I don't post much but I hear I go:

I've been to a lot of PJ shows so in that I feel lucky.

But, when I found out PJ was doing two shows and one in my hometown of London, Ontario, I thought, YES! This is for me (yeah, yeah, I know it really isn't but you know what I mean).

But, today like many others I found out I didn't "win" tickets. Sigh...

Here's hoping I get either presale or regular tickets in a week:/ But, my fear is that won't happen either...

I'm bummed like I'm sure a lot of you out there are.

I guess if all else fails I can try the scalpers at the show... I've never done that, I'm always afraid I'm going to give some one a stupid amount of money and get to the gate and them tell me it's counterfeit...

    it's true. the mailing address you are registered with as a ten club member, should ensure you get a ticket in that city when a show is there. Agree 100%. pretty simple.

    That would be great if they actually toured, but when they only play 10-12 shows in certain areas of the country, it is harder to do

    11 years in the 10C and never shutout until today. Being shutout of your Hometown show feels really fucked up.

    I agree too- I hope you get tickets on the presale-you should be there. I have bought tickets on stub hub for various other shows when I was shut out and they were not counterfeit! Good luck
