    Fenway 1- Won, Fenway 2- Lost. Live 5 miles from Fenway and over 20 years in the 10c for what its worth anymore

    You got tickets to a show, are you seriously complaining right now?
    Not complaining but membership is not what it used to be. I want season tickets at the 50 yard line to the Patriots, or half court for the Celtics. You know why I cannot have them? Because the people with those seats have been season ticket holders for 20 or 30 years. That's how seniority works in 99% of life. I understand people who joined the club late think they should have a fair shot, and they did once the 10c put in the 2 random rows up front. Now it is 100% random, which I do not think is fair to people with low numbers/long standing memberships
    Your membership is $40 per year. The cost of those season tickets is in the thousands to ten thousands per year, (as a Cubs season ticket holder, I know) and inevitably those people lost thousands of dollars per year while having those tickets in lean years. So not a good comparison.
    Yeah the membership pays for a presale, not an actual ticket.
    That was not always the case. I never got shut out of any show until the lotto system started. My 10c number is low enough that I would always get seats. Back before the online days you filled out a form with what tickets you wanted in the mail and then they started with the lowest member numbers and rewarded tickets until they ran out.
    There are more members now.
    They play less shows now.
    They announce tours is smaller legs now.
    They play smaller venues now, for the most part.
    There is aimply more demand for tickets now.
    Back in 2003, the fan club was still relativelg small. Its massive now.

    I agree 100%, however my opinion is that the people who have been around the longest should have first shot on the tickets. I am sure most with a 10c number of say under 300xxx would agree and anyone over 500xxx that would argue for a lotto system. I think the lotto system started when people with high 10c numbers were not getting any tickets and were questioning why should they be members. i just think that somebody who joined 2 weeks ago should not have the same chance as somebody who joined the club in the early 90's and maintained it.

    They played every fourth day for an entire year in 2003. Of course everyone got tickets back then.

    I'm under 100k member and I don't argue either way. I'm not more of a fan than any other in the club. The seniority is something pearl jam lends to me, whichever way they deem appropriate.

    So my entry still says charged ant the $188, but I haven't gotten an email yet and it does not say won. I am still assuming I did though. Am I wrong? This is oddly taking longer than before.
