    I like the system, dislike the GA pit idea. Makes seniority useless.

    I like it.

    With limited supply of tickets for 10c members now and the 10c getting bigger, you had to do something.

    I understand that some people will look at it like a slap in the face. "I've been a fan for 20 years and a 10c member for 15 years. Now I can't get a ticket." You have to look at the 20 year old that has only been a 10c member for a year or so. Just because he's 20 doesn't mean his passion for PJ isn't equal to yours, or mine, and yet, he probably would have no shot getting tickets in some of the larger cities with the old system.

    IMO, this is PJ at their finest. Pleasing fans of all generations, not just one.

    Got exactly what I wanted (Thank You!), but don't like the lottery for the simple fact that you really aren't guaranteed any shows.

    Love it. Can just enter and then sit back and wait. Of course there is stress in waiting but there was much more stress in trying to F5 the shit out of my computer.

    /two for two so far, so I am biased, which I'm sure many dislikes here are as well.

    100% dislike this method. Visit the below link for the reason why. I still can't figure out how someone's 9th choice could be selected, especially for a show with such high demand.....

    Like it generally, but don't understand how/why people are getting tickets for options way down their priority list when others are missing out while using their higher priority picks for same tickets. That's disturbing.

    An awful lot of energy was poured into developing this system that could've been better spent upgrading the server so it wouldn't crash under heavy strain.

    Never had any issues with the original system, been able to get tickets since '05. The new system has treated me just fine, got Montana and both my brother and I got our second choice for Oakland. Lottery is cool. Gives everyone a chance. I bet TC loves it though, control is all in their hands.

    Like it because it's just more fair for the whole,

    but the way to appease the problems is to play more freaking shows, especially in the Northeast. about 4 more shows would have quelled a lot of issues with people not getting any shows.

    oh and the separate priorities per leg was kind of dumb. allowed east and west coasters more easy access to the opposite coast tickets.
