So is Seattle 2 a pipe dream?

pjsteelerfan · July 2013

"A second Worcester show has been added to the Fall 2013 North American Tour and is scheduled to take place on October 16th.

A Ten Club ticket drawing will be held for members who entered the drawing for the Oct 15th Worcester show, but were not selected for tickets. Members that fall into this category must be active as of yesterday July 29th, for a chance to purchase pre-sale tickets to this show.For your convenience you have 1 full week from today to enter before names are drawn. This drawing entry period opens today, July 30th and closes Tuesday August 6th at 10am PT. Names will not be drawn until Tuesday August 6th .

Eligibility:
Only members who entered the drawing for the first Oct 15th Worcester show and whose names were not selected for either GA or Reserved tickets are eligible for this drawing. Members who fall into this category but whose memberships are expired are not eligible for this drawing. Members active as of Monday, July 29th are eligible for this ticket drawing. New memberships and membership renewals purchased after that date are not considered eligible for this ticket drawing pre-sale. Members who already have Ten Club tickets for the Worcester Oct 15th date are not eligible."

My guess is Seattle 2 may be the same as this.

Unless it is a fan club show

Won't be a fan club show. TM won't release their claws from an arena show.

I would agree it would probably be similar in execution. Lottery for people who didn't score night 1.

That is bad news for me!!! Not fair for those who were not available for the first night, but are available for the second.

Wow - I like my chances, should they 1) give us a second Seattle show and 2). Do it the same way. But no reason they wouldn't right? Since they went from East to West the first round, I am betting they will wait to announce it. Fingers and toes crossed - Please!!

That does kind of suck under your circumstances. On the flipside if they didn't do it, then anyone could put in for that show regardless of their preferences from the rest of that tour, which could negatively impact people who had listed it as a preference already.

I suppose the problem could of been avoided had the shows been announced in advance?

I feel for you! hopefully you will score TM tix

Given2Fly · July 2013

I'm going to go ahead and be a selfish prick here. Seems a little f'd up that somebody who had Seattle as say choice 7 or 8 is going to now have the same chance at Seattle 2 (if it happens) as somebody who had Seattle as choice #1 (and didn't get it).. Yup, I only give a F because I'll be that poor schmuck who will likely miss out on both to somebody who already won 10c tickets to 4 other shows.

Bleh.

Both announced at once would have helped. Maybe do two lotteries, one for people that lost the first night, and then an open one after with any remaining tickets? Not sure if that is fair either.

Bad news for me too. Argh, this sux! Guess I'll have to line up a couple of people to help me man the computers so I can get tix through TM

That's a fair complaint. You guys in Seattle should write 10C directly.

Yeah, pretty unfortunate for people in your scenario, but it's tough to be perfectly fair to everyone. Maybe if they could let anyone enter but be at a lower priority? You probably still wouldn't get tickets though.

jtraverak · July 2013

I agree...announce them both at once so we could have made a choice to begin with. I feel like I don't have grounds to complain because I did get reserved seats for night 1, but I would have liked the option to go for night 2 instead. Because I'm traveling from AK , I can not go to any other concerts so did not go for or win any other tickets in the lottery.

It would be great if they would allow a drawing first for anyone who put in for Seattle 1 as their 1st choice (and didn't get tickets), but then beyond that open up a 2nd lottery for anyone with interest in night 2. That way everyone who put in Seattle 1 as 1st choice would get tickets (and those going for GA would probably have great odds) and then everyone else can have a chance at a 2nd show.

Oh well, I guess I will take what I can get but I'll keep my fingers crossed that they open up a lotto to more people for night two to make my airfare worth while!

Yeah, the problem would not exist if they just announced all shows at once.... But dem's de breaks I guess. Sigh. Sure I'll get to the show no matter what - I'm not actually concerned about not going. I'll find a ticket somehow... But it's really great to be in the 10C drawing! It's exciting, and then actually winning is the best feeling! I'm sorry to have to miss out on that, assuming they don't do something completely different for Seattle.... I'm a good sport about these things, but still it's a little disappointing.

Well it looks like when the announce a second Seattle show, I'll have to line up and try to get tix through TM because I already won 10c tickets for the first show. Kind of sucks no chance for 10c tickets for a second show, but it is what it is and I'm happy to have 10c tickets to the first show. Just means I'll have to take part in a shit show of a TM public sale.

Yeah, good luck! We'll get in; where there's a will there's a way.
But I do think this rule is a little strange. It makes total sense to prevent those who already have tix for the first night from entering, but I don't understand only allowing those who entered for the first night and didn't win to get in the second draw. Just making it so that those members who don't have tix for the first night can enter makes better sense to me... Just not quite sure what 10C's thinking is on this one. Oh well........ Fucking awesome for those who lost the first draw obviously. Their chances are super high.

I'm guessing it's a moderate attempt to honor the previous preferences. It seems a bit complicated to reorder people on the previous preferences, but I think its more fair to give them first dibs? Alot of them (us) did miss out on Seattle tickets, so letting anyone put in for a 2nd show, really circumvents people who put Seattle as 1st/2nd pref and missed out. They're probably not enough tickets to deal with people who missed out on seattle #1, let alone let more people into it?

JOEJOEJOE · July 2013

Could be the promoter wanted to make sure there was enough demand for a second show, as opposed to simply puting 2 shows onsale at once.

demetrios · July 2013

Was hoping this will be a 10club only show. Being that it will be the last PJ show of the tour & all.
But looks like it'll be the same rules like Worcester 2.

Leezestarr313 · July 2013

Mh I would also have loved to enter the drawing for the second Seattle show (I'm with PJ_Soul on that, the lottery is exciting), but since I didn't know what I know now (that we could gather the funds to make the trip there) I didn't enter the first time :( It looks like we will be on a canoe trip on the weekend of the public sale, so I'm not sure we will be able to score any tickets. Happy for those who get their chance now, and yeah it's "PJ fan problems", but

The band doesn't do 10c only shows, silly goose.

So is Seattle 2 a pipe dream?
