    Randomness of the Lottery discards Seniority. Which I'm not a fan of.

    I don't care about the fan that just discovered Pearl Jam last year. I care about the die hard fan, that's been a 10c member for decades.

    is this THE cokelogic ???

    Not true. Seniority did not determine whether you got a ticket before. It just determined your location after you got them.
    But people who have always got tickets have not got tickets this time. What's the difference? Answer: The Lottery.

    It's never been very impossible to get a ticket, then seniority took care of the seating. Now GA/Pit or Upper Deck is random.

    You don't know that's the reason. Are you saying that no person who had good seniority was ever shut out of the 10C ticket sale? I'd say there have been plenty. Heck, I remember a bunch that didn't get PJ20 tickets.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    The lottery is fair. What is a problem is the fact it is a small number of shows announced at a time. So you have many more people trying for those shows than would under normal circumstances if they announced a complete and proper tour at the same time. For example, a show in Ontario, your odds would be vastly better if it was part of a 25-30 show tour with shows in major cities.

    1st come first served - either old way or put tickets on Ticketmaster with a code which they have done before.

    1st come 1st served. DEFINITELY NOT TICKETMASTER!!!!! Ask about the 2011 Canada Tour, that blew!

    the lottery is fine. 10c just needs to get rid of the priority selection as that is why most people didn't get confirmed.

    Not trying to stir anything up, but I'm wondering if picking fans at random isn't fair in your opinion how should it have been? .

    How do we factor in the fact that Wrigley Field is an outdoor stadium where they play baseball?
    I mean, it's not Dodger Stadium size, but still... pretty big.
    ...
    And wouldn't you like to know how many (total number of pair of tickets) were won today?
    It would be nice because we'd be able to figure out the percentage that was made available to our fan club by the management company that runs Wrigley Field.
