So if a show is <99%... then there is no way to get that as a second choice?

So if my list is:
1. Asstown 36%
2. Fuckland 78%
3. Shittsburgh 67%

then Fuckland and Shittsburgh are both a waste of time to put on there?

Is that right? Having a % <99% means that for people's 1st choices, it will be tapped, right?</p>

I do not think so because of peoples 2nd and 3rd choices are changing that percentage as well. Maybe someone else can explain it with more experience.

Pretty sure the odds apply to every entry, not just the first rounds.

Question about 10c ticket access - if there is a West Coast leg announced will it do any good for a friend to join 10c now? Or would you have to have already joined by the announcement yesterday?

At least 80 bucks a ticket for these shows?
That's absolutely ridiculous.
This is why I pay for a fan club membership?
So I can overpay for tickets (and can only get 2, because ya know, I have to choose which of my two sons gets to go along) and stand in line for a poster, only to be told they just sold out because the jackasses in front of me all bought more than one.

And let's not forget every new item put up on the Goods section is sold out within seconds, and then miraculously shows up on Ebay at 5,000% markup.
Just like the vinyl versions of all the albums. You'd think if a band's albums were that highly sought after, and being sold on Ebay for HUNDREDS of $$$, they might oh I don't know, PRINT AND SELL MORE COPIES!

I think it's time to leave this band in my rearview mirror.

They seem to have become the very thing they used to hate.

Wow...having a bad day?
I think the band has stayed as true to there values as could ever possible be expected of them. This society we all operate in breeds greed. Really don't see that from PJ. I think they not only give their fans the best value in Rock entertainment and the Merch; but they are also employing a lot of people both in their organization and the venues citizens.
Also believe $2 from each ticket is donated to the Vitalogy foundation.
Not to mention, in my view, all the Merch, Deep mag, otherwise swell stuff they send out to the members....really appears to be a great value for the membership fee alone.
So, rock on PJ and thanks for not gouging us, your fans and for also treating us with the utmost respect.
All though, I do here you on the which son dilemma. Except mine is son, wife, best bud or....Boss, damn capitalism!

Need some friendly advice, Lexington is 5 hours from me and Chicago is 3. not sure if I should get in Lexington drawing or holdout for Chicago drawing? Would rather do both Wrigley shows because I could make a mini vacation out of it but I assume the odds will be better for Lexington 10c tickets.

I'd do BOTH!!! :rock_on:

agreed!


Derbydave, how did we not meet in Missoula

Sorry I missed you buddy!!
We started the morning off by doing the tour at Big Sky Brewery:



Had brunch (and the Bloody Mary bar) at Tamarack in downtown Missoula



and then we were tailgating in the parking lot most of the day!!



What a FUN SHOW!!

i was going to go to that, but ran into other people that morning, and showed them around the ZOO

I think you have it backwards. The higher the %, the better your chances are. The popular shows and GA tickets have lower odds because more people entered those. It would be a good strategy to put a lower % first and then a higher % as second choice.

Or are you saying that if a show is not at 100% odds, then they will all be taken up in the first round? I don't think that is the case either, because a lot of people win their second and even third choices, and nothing will be above 99% when it all goes down next week

Yeah, basically that is what I am getting at.

How does trading work. For instance, if I get two shows in Florida and find someone to trade their Toronto GA, does the fan club help facilitate?

They will not allow that. You have to be there in person to pick up your tickets prior to the show. I suppose if you actually went to the show and got the tickets for the person, you could do that, but they will not let you do a switch.

Are you for sure? Previously I saw some posts where it appeared that sort of thing was facilitated, but I didn't pay them close attention. Are you for sure and will other chime in on this please.

Yes and I am sure because I won the Seattle tickets in 2013 and my wife was pregnant and advised not to fly from ny to seattle. I got one response and many ignores emails from the tenclub. The told I couldnt do anything with the tickets. I couldnt sell them, trade them or anything. I needed to pick them up in Seattle or basically all my money goes down the train. Though they said could upgrade some kids seat with my permission... wtf no thanks I thought when we buy something we now own it. Evidently not when we buy ten club tickets

It's all explained in the ticket policy...
http://pearljam.com/tenclub/tickets

DISTRIBUTION
* Tickets will be distributed at the venue box office on the day of the show only. We will not mail your tickets in advance of the show. No exceptions.
* Tickets are pre-determined so arriving at the box office early will not increase your chances of better seats.
* You must show a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, school ID) to collect your tickets at the box office. No exceptions. It is also helpful, but not necessary, to have your Ten Club member number available for additional verification.
* The Ten Club member whose account was used to purchase the tickets must be present to collect the tickets on the day of the show.
No exceptions.

Yeah that's the dumb ass no exceptions rule yeah

Its not a dumb rule at all. Keeps a lot of fucking assholes from joining the 10c just to get tickets and then flip them for profit.

(which sucks for honest people that just wanna trade or end up not being able to go and wanna sell for face value. Its all the assholes in the world that helped the rule come about. I'll take it over people profiting off 10c tickets)

What does suck is what you put in parenthesis. Their policy makes sense on the whole, but would be a whole lot better if it also included compassion and common sense, which is unfortunately lacking in the 10c. I had to eat my tickets to Seattle 2013 because I ended up in the hospital in surgery that morning. I provided a friend (and 10c member) a copy of my drivers license, a copy of my order confirmation, and a note asking them to release my tickets to him so that he could give them to someone. No go. Those tickets went unused. Really fucking stupid, and lacking on so many levels.
