There are people on this site who are old enough to.....

A. Be financially secure
B. No wife/husband and or kids
C. Own their own homes (no mortgage or rent)
D. Live within their means
E. Live a debt free lifestyle
F. Save for travel

Therefore travelling to multiple shows on multiple cities is not a financial strain.

I would add that if you don't drink alcohol or do drugs, don't smoke cigarettes, drink coffee at home rather than paying $3 or more for espresso drinks at shops, and don't have cable, you would save well enough to travel every month, if you wanted to. At least, that's what works for me. Most people I know spend several hundred dollars a month on those things; I prefer to travel regularly.
Also when travelling alone, I always stay in motels or hostels rather than hotels. In NYC, I've never spent more than $35/night for hostels located within a few blocks of the 2/3 subway stops.

So if ten different dates are announced, you select the shows you would like to attend in order of preference. If you choose all ten, then are fortunate enough to be chosen for ALL ten, your card is charged for ten pairs of tickets....
For how many shows out of those ten might you normally be selected? Based on your experience? I can see why you need a credit card with a lot if open to buy on file....

Thx

Assuming it's like last year, with the shows having GA seats and reserved seats - and with similar demand for everything....

This post is long-winded, but if it helps you understand a little better, it might be worth it. I wish I had understood the system better than I did last year.

You can take a few different strategies. The obvious is pick whatever you want the most as your first pick. If it's highly desired by others as well, this method does give you a chance at getting completely shut out, but also gives you a crack at what you want the most. Alternatively, you could use your first choice on something that isn't the highest in demand, and that might give you a close to certain chance of getting something at least.

For your 2nd pick, this is where I screwed up last year. You probably don't want to pick something high in demand. Because that will probably be sold out by people using it with the first pick. Everything satisfies first picks before it gives people who used lower picks a chance at it. So if something is likely to sell out, using your 2nd pick on it is probably wasting your 2nd pick.

What I did last year. First priority was Moline GA, 2nd Priority Molina Reserved, 3rd priority St. Louis Reserved, 4th St. Louis GA, 5th Milwaukee reserved, 6th Milwaukee GA.

Where I screwed up was picking Moline reserved 2nd. It was a waste of my 2nd pick choice, since Moline was the most coveted show of the tour, so it seemed to have sold out with people who picked Moline reserved with their first choice. I wasn't going to get that whether my Moline GA scored or not. I did get lucky and Moline GA did score for me. But since my St. Louis reserved was bumped back to my third choice, that missed out. And I heard a lot of people did get St. Louis reserved with their 2nd choice. I ended up overpaying for tickets to St. Louis via stubhub.

Yes you do have to prepare to buy everything you use as a choice, though you can only get one pair to each show. If you get a reserved or GA pair to something, and one of your later selections is the other selection to that same concert, you will not win it.

Also reserved seats are seated based on how old your 10 club account is. So there's a definite incentive to picking GA if you are a newish member. That was why I chose Moline GA as my first selection. My 10c membership is only 3 years old, and I would have had among the worst seats dished out. So I went GA.

I hope I said thank you for this excellent information! Thank you.

Guy on Facebook posted a picture of Amalie arena in Tampa and said "source" says tickets go on sale early December. Guess it means announcement mid November... Ten club tickets November 21-28 or whatever then public sale early December

Guys just curious, if I happen to get in the GA lottery, how much do GA 10c tickets generally cost? This would be my first show so I have no idea.

Don't see a 10Club sale happening Nov. 21-28 as that is Thanksgiving week.

The week before or after is much more likely

what do you guys think of limiting the amount of shows we are allowed since demand is so high? I'll just throw out a number: four shows max for 10c tix.
