Anyone who experiences pj tic failure please tell yourself it is not over. The show is not tonight. It's just not going to be easy. Im sorry, but you are going to have to work for it if you want to go. I like easy too, the alternative sucks. I promise it will be much sweeter for you. Don't fing give up for christ sake. This is PJ it's worth it to get dirty, and maybe a bit greasy too. It is worth whatever it takes. Go get your tix. Good luck!

    It’s not that hard to find tickets in the weeks before a show. It is hard to find multiple reserved seats next to each other. Join any of the various pj Facebook groups and you’ll find people offloading tickets

    From the threat title, I expected more complaining. But now I see this is an act of encouragement and approve 😀

    Totally agree, i think biggest reason for sadness is expectations are not equal to reality (I'm included in this). I saw 99% odds all week for my two reserved, waiting to be drawn, but that probably causes me to think it's more of a "sure thing" than it really is.

    I’d hit the exchange right when it opens. I’m guessing that there may be members who got too many tickets.

    I’ve never had a situation where I have not been able to find tickets. For at or close to face. There’s always a way. 

    People just get antsy and want their safety blankets wrapped around them months in advance.

    The point is, we pay to be in this club, at this point only for ticket access. Yes we can still find tickets but what’s the point of joining then? If there are 99% odds to get in and many people are not because Emails have to match each other, I didn’t join the Ticketmaster fan club. I’m just nervous about Phoenix because I don’t know if my accounts match. I use a few different Ticketmaster accounts. We’ll get in either way

    Many people that kind of want to go will give up once they get the rejection email.

    Most people that have to get in will figure out a way in.

    Be in the 2nd group.

    ugh pt2. man, do not waste your feeling of being screwed on this board by expressing how the 10 club sucks.
    Use your anger and disappointment to get what you want in a good way. Get off the board and get busy. Make it happen. Turn this into something good for yourself I know you can and will. There is no other option except to succeed. Good Luck!

    Depending on the shows I don’t think that’s on you. Every show except NY and Bal ended with 99% for seats (not GA). In the past, that meant the odds never changed and really everyone seemed to get tickets. Not the case this year, so something was off in the odds.

    After the Dance of the Clairvoyants we went to the Never Destination where we saw the Superblood Wolfmoon. We were lucky. He Comes Then Goes. We left and made out Quick Escape, but Who Ever Said it would be easy was nuts. Alright, we made it. Off to where the River Cross is and we will Buckle Up because we like to Take The Long Way. It's almost Seven O’Clock. Must get inside before Retrograde. ty

    No, I get it - but some people take their disappointment too far.
