    ^ Agreed. I thought the pre-sale lottery was for 10C members at the time of the announcement; not after.

    What would be the benefit of announcing two shows in Seattle but not giving any sort of info about ticket sales?  Especially after creating a lot of hype by creating the YouTube video and raising the pj flag above the space needle. 

    My guess is to allow people that were on the fence about joining 10 Club for ticket benefits a chance to do it!!
    I've seen tons on people on Facebook signing up so they can enter the lottery.


    I don't know if they will be eligible for the lottery if they signed up after the announcement was made, going off of past announcements. In particular the TOTD announcement was on July 20 and specifically said that Ten Club members who were active as of July 19 were eligible. That would be lame if anyone who signed up yesterday could enter the lottery.
    Yeah i doubt new memberships will be eligible. It usually states you have to be a member prior to announcement. 


    A major attraction to 10C as opposed to other fan clubs that use tours to drum up membership sales.

    Love PJ for this.

    Plus, I think it was clever strategy to shroud the Home Shows as a Fundraiser, pressuring aftermarket ticketing companies to exercise favorable 'corporate guidelines' (ie: latest StubHub banner).

    I always thought you had to be a member before they announced the tour.  It's just odd that there's a gap between announcing the shows and the ticket info. 

    The general thought of restricting it to members before the announcement was to prevent scalpers from getting a heads up and buying a bunch of last minute memberships to access tickets?  You've to pick 'em up at will call, but you do have that window of time afterwards :(  Especially with shows with GA as scalpers can get instant access to the best tickets.

    Does everyone think the day in between these shows is just simply a rest day for the band?  I went back and looked at the European tour and it looks like there is only one set of back to back dates - London and the rest have a day in between.  It must be expensive reserving these venues for a day where they are not used.  I guess they make enough money on the larger amount of tickets sold in these stadium venues to afford to rent them for an extra day.
    I thought a few years ago when the first Wrigley show was being planned there was a city/neighborhood ordinance related to having concerts on back to back nights.  Could be mistaken but I assumed that was the reason for having the day off in between.
    Foo FIghters have 2 in a row at Wrigley in July

    PLEASE NO GA AT FENWAY

    I love the lottery... win the 1st row golden ticket
    I second this! Been to 16 shows and 3 Ed solo shows and haven't been so fortunate to be exceptionally close. REALLY wish I hadn't let my membership lapse in 2008/2009. That divorce only haunts me when PJ tours nowadays.

    How about what someone posted about DMB golden ticket. Sounds pretty sweet!

    Anyone happen to remember what the odds were for the ballpark shows in 2016? Can’t seem to find them on here or google.

    I don't remember the odds, but I remember how deep the rounds made it.  Wrigley 1 had super demand because it was on a Saturday.  GA tickets sold out in round 1.  I think some people got reserved in round 2.  Wrigley 2 was different.  I think everyone who wanted a GA ticket in round 1 got one, and a few spilled over into round 2 (there were a few super lucky people that pulled the ga night 1 / ga night 2 win on a single membership).   I think reserved for night 2 went rounds 3 and maybe 4?

    Thanks for the info! Really appreciate it. Very curious to see what the odds will be for the upcoming stadium shows

    I won Wrigley 2 reserved as my 4th choice. That lottery was combined with Fenway. With the demand and the odds it basically made you pick either Wrigley or Fenway

    Wrigley 2 went to 4th choice because of GA factored in. No Fenway choices went past round 2 and very little round 2 tickets were won. Those that won round 2 tickets were only for night 2. There were some that won no tickets since they went night 1 first and night 2 second for Fenway while some got really lucky and won both nights. Everyone that put night 2 first won that choice.  Make sense? lol.
