    I'm sick of this goddamned club. The last three times (previous two tours and now this lottery) I have been denied tickets. It's about time they own up to the fact they play favorites.

    Each tour I only hope to see the band once. I'm honestly not sure why I continue to remain a member.

    How can things be fixed? Limit it to one show per member UNTIL the system recognizes every entrant as receiving one show. Then, cycle back through and allow people to get access to multiple shows.

    Sorry to say they don't play favorites at all, if they did I wouldn't have won considering I've been very vocal over the many years of being on here about this band and 10C. It's just the way the cookie crumbles. If you don't like it, you can either deal with it or don't be a member. This is how things work best for the fans and band and they will stay that way. People will always have extra's and you have the regular sale on Friday.

    Downtown bar for the football game might be the way to go. Game starts @ 1pm right?

    Ditto. That's fair. Bites to see people get multiple shows while others get none.

    I agree on the multiple show thing. It could also be solved by having a single lotto per show (instead of two). The problem comes from people going GA Show #1/Reserved Show #1 losing against Reserved Show #2/Reserved Show #1. Do a single lotto and have a button to click if you want to be included in a random draw for GA tickets.

    It wouldn't have helped out the ToTD draw as the tour was small and there weren't many tickets. I don't think anyone got a fill on 2nd round.

    My concern is memberships via available tickets. Given that one of the best perks of membership is 10 tickets, is there a good ratio for how many members they should sign up vs. available tickets. I know they get more revenue the more people join the club, but there's so many people now, it seems like maybe that ratio is off.

    I've done ok with the lotto. I'm 2/4. I pulled Vancouver 2013, lost Seattle 2013, won wrigley 1 ga, lost ToTD. ToTD is it's own beast, but your best odds of getting PJ tickets is going for reserved as your #1 pick. I'm more like Han Solo and say never tell me the odds, because I go for GA everytime (for #1 pick only), knowing it decreases my odds.

    I don't think the lottery is that bad, we've just got a serious issue of way more fan members than available tickets. The lottery (except the aforementioned ga/reserved reserved/reserved bug) does a pretty good job stretching out the tickets. Demand far outweights supply.

    I still think people in the NE US are blessed and cursed. All those shows to go to, but the populations out there are really big, and the cities are close together so it makes it easy for people to tour the shows. I've never been denied a Vancouver show, or an idaho show, or a portland show.. lol.. you guys need to come out here on the next western tour, and do a everything but seattle tour. You'll love it :)

    Game starts at 1pm (1:25pm kickoff I believe), but you'll probably want to get somewhere early to get a seat. There are a few places downtown that I've seen games at that were pretty fun. I'm not sure yet where I'll be, but probably one of these:
    http://www.sportrestaurant.com/ (Chef John Howie's bar. Has 30+ tvs and good food. Near the space needle)
    http://www.yardhouse.com/ (right downtown, just a few blocks from Pike Place Market)
    http://95slide.com/ (this is actually on Capitol Hill about 9 or 10 blocks up the hill from the Paramount)

    While all you peeps are watching football, this girl will be headed to the Chihuly Garden of Glass. And then maybe some notaslgic stops at some of those 90s iconic places ...

    That wouldn't of helped today's presale at all. No one got more than 1 pair. It was an issue of demand far exceeding supply.

    In regards to PJ tours. I don't think you can do cycling thing, because of the order the draw shows, and the order people choose their prefs. I think the draw in chronilogical order, so you wouldn't know what people might get on the last shows kind of thing. Seeing as most shows sellout in the early rounds, I think the best solution is single draw per show (with an option to enter a draw for GA tix). That prevent's people from using reserved/reserved to trump the ga/reserved people.

    Most of the issues are with way more fan members than tickets though..... Nothing's going to fix that.

    I went to the EMP Museum & Space Needle like a few times, and passed by the Chihuly Garden of Glass place many times but didn't get a chance to go inside. Will make sure to visit this November.

    I can't wait to visit the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. All those Pearl Jam posters on display?
