New Ticket Policy Changes Simplified

.

So I get everyones thought here that if you AND your wife/concert partner should only enter the higher number....but, and maybe im missing something, will you have priority entry again? Like 1st choice, 2nd, etc? Because if you do that would be risky if trying to go to say both Boston shows. I have the better number so if I only enter with Boston 1 being first choice and Boston 2 being second and win  Boston 1 but lose Boston 2....wouldn't it have made sense for her to try for Boston 2 as her first choice increasing our odds?

This definitely impacts 10c ticket buddies/groups

They are the problem. Look at how many people do this shit. It takes a ton of tickets out of the on sale circulation so they can move up a few rows. 

Yeah, I have to admit, I'm really happy about these changes because of this. The wheeling and dealing that went on between groups of friends before seemed kind of slippery to me. This kind of evens out the playing field a bit, and I'm glad.

How is it slippery if they're sold for face value? 

I just mean they way members do it. I'm not talking about upselling. For example, I once had a spare ticket so I put it out there that I was looking for a ticket buddy who could have my other GA ticket for face value. So a long-time 10C member responded and said he was all over it, and that we'd enjoy the show together, and he'd meet me at the venue. Well when I got there I discovered that the guy had about 6 other long-term 10C member friends who had been in the GA line all day without tickets. He gave the ticket I gave him to one of them, he already had his own. The other 5 in line had managed the same thing. So now they are all up at the head of the line being line nazis and snatching GA singles from people who have to go to the back of the line alone. That's what I mean by slippery business. I am really glad people like this are now largely going to be shut down because they can't separate the ticket from the original owner now.

The same thing can happen now though. You are now sending it to there mobile instead of to them in person. You have no clue who's cell phone the other person is giving you.

If these changes work out I will be super duper happy.  
1) Getting to win both nights in the same city (had us with a extras for Fenway one night, none for the next night)
2) E-tickets / TM Verified will cut way down on scalping.
3) Not waiting to see till day of show to see where your seats are.
4) SECURING LOTS OF 10 CLUBS tickets is the BEST THING EVER.

Whatever glitches come up I will deal happily knowing they did their best that most of the 10 Club fans can get damn tickets!!!  Thank You 10 Club!!!!

Seriously, I think all of these things will be great. When they switched to the lottery I got screwed out of being great at F5'ing a broken site, but I still found a way to get to the shows. Hopefully most of us will land tickets to multiple shows with the larger allotment of 10c tickets.

No offense but I'm really surprised by the amount of confusion here.  It's laid out very well in the email in my opinion.  The only big change is how the tickets are distributed and I love how they're doing it because it hurts the scalpers who have one or multiple 10c accounts

I think we are all excited and reading a little too quickly

Luckily we all have two weeks to read through it with a fine toothed comb lol

This is a GREAT change

My biggest complaint with the lottery system was how people who buddied up or those with spouses, kids, etc could tip the lottery scales in their favor quite a bit.  People were parlaying extra pairs they won into pairs for additional shows. 
Another side effect is people would enter seated area lottery with a good 10c number, and their newer #s bought for spouses (or just a newer member) would go toward acquiring GA tix.  As a result, the mid-seniority seat locations on about 275xxx on up was degraded.

This evens the playing field for the most part, or at least makes it much more inconvenient to shirk the system
