    Does anyone really let their membership lapse anymore?
    I can't see anyone with a 1XXXXX number not renewing just for this reason here...
    It could happen but probably less likely with auto renewal nowadays. 

    Back in 08-09, I went through a shitty period (divorce, bankruptcy and all that jazz). I don't think I was in the right frame of mind for about 2 years and let my 191xxx lapse. Rejoined in late 09 to a 416xxx. 

    Been to 16 shows and never within the first 30 rows which I'm reminds me of that stupid mistake back in 08-09. Now, I would GLADLY pay 10C an extra $100, plus membership fees for the time my membership was inactive, plus the next 5 years of membership fees to reinstate my old membership number.

    They could then donate that $100 to the Vitolagy foundation. See? I don't come to you with just a problem, I also present you with a solution. 

    Moral of the story, don't let your 10C membership lapse. So not worth it. :anguished:

    I haven't let it lapse since I signed back up but I was broke in college and for a year or two after and didn't keep up with it. I dropped from 406XXX to 663XXX. I let it go before they introduced digital sadly.
    Hey, I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I'm certainly not the dumbest.

    I might be the newest member on this board, I'm 664xxx. I wonder what I should realistically try for. I'm attempting to get tickets for both shows. I would like GA for at least one of them, if that's even doable.

    Not sure if posted on here yet or not but the WISHLIST Pre-Party will be at Sluggers again for both shows.  They already have facebook groups up for both nights at Wrigley along with the other stadium shows too.

    If you wanted to have the best odds of getting GA for one show, I would put Wrigley night 2 GA as your 1st choice, then Wrigley night 1 reserved as your 2nd choice. Odds for Night 2 GA will be much better than night 1 (due to Saturday vs. Monday). I think you'd have no chance to get Night 1 GA as choice 2, but if you do GA Night 1 as choice 1 and GA night 2 as choice 2, you may get shut out on both.

    Hellllll yeah! I’m fired up... these two will be 18 & 19 for me.  Could be the year off or my recent move from WA to MI but it feels like new again

  • I'm a relative 10C newbie as well, 668xxx, and it's my first lottery. My +1 can't do GA, so I'm putting in for reserved for one show (I guess night 2 is likely to be easier to snag?). Sounds like they're optimistic that they'll have enough seats to make that happen?

    If you do Reserved night 2 as your top choice you're almost definite to get tickets.

    My top choice will be GA for Night 1.  Second choice will be reserved for night 1 in case I don't get GA.  My ticket buddy that's coming with me will be doing the same thing but for Night 2.  Hopefully it works out!

    In 2016 yes and no. Yes as in there was supposed to be a dedicated GA entrance, no as in they started letting GA people in through the regular entrance after opening the GA only entrance.
