If you do #2 (which you had 3 days to do) it takes care of most everything. But then, why do that when you can come on here and ask the same questions over and over. And over.91 - Ames Iowa CY Stephens Auditorium

I read through most of this but I think a couple of other points are worth mentioning or I might have missed them:
1) Make sure your credit card is up to date on Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster and has sufficient funds and does not expire soon
2) If you do not receive an email confirm or denied, watch your credit card statement for a charge
3) You are not automatically signed up for the Ticketmaster Pre Sale it is a separate process

The others I'll consider being under the #2 umbrella - "read all the shit".Post edited by BennyLaRue on0 -
You can add the "and not guaranteed" to #9 from the first line of 10 Club Policies. I know this is standard, boilerplate, cover-your-ass language, but I've seen a few people think that they're guaranteed by looking at the odds or by reading "the majority of fans who enter the Ten Club ticket request will get tickets."

So disappointed I didn't get tickets for the NY show on March 30th.

I know it's implied by numbers 2 and 6 so might not need its own separate entry, but one lesson that seems apparent to me from reading some of the frustrated/disappointed posts around here over the last few days is: take your time. I know why peopled don't - when I see a tour/lottery announcement I get excited and drop everything to act on it as soon as possible, but there's really no reason to do that. Often when tickets or other items suddenly go on sale, you need to act immediately or risk missing out. That is definitively not the case for these ticket lotteries. Timing of entry most certainly does not affect your odds, and while some people around here apparently believe that it affects how quickly you get notified after the drawing happens, that's never really been confirmed and seems like baloney to me (and also, even if it were true it wouldn't be a good tradeoff for potentially screwing up your entry - waiting to hear on lotto drawings is agonizing, but you can put me down to be the last person notified every time if it would help my chances of winning). You have days to read all the rules, think carefully about what dates your may or may not want to try for, coordinate with friends, consider odds & trends, read these boards to benefit from others' experience, etc.
Again, I should probably take my own advice here because I'm as guilty as anyone of giving in to the impulse to get my submission in as quickly as possible. But there's no benefit to rushing things, and it looks like there are a number of cases where people either (a) went through to quickly and only figured out after the drawing that they had screwed up somehow or (b) needed to go back and make changes one or more times, which just compounds the possibility of making errors. Measure twice & cut once.Camden 2 2006, Newark 2010, Barclays 2 2013, Central Park 2015, MSG 2 2016, Wrigley 1 2016, Rome 2018, Prague 2018, Asbury Park 2021, EV & Earthlings NYC 1 2022, MSG 2022, Louisville 2022, Dublin 2024, MSG 1 2024, MSG 2 20240 -

I understand the rules, adhered to each. I am simply disappointed to have been a consistent Ten Club member for many years, even when there was no hope of a PJ stop near me. I wish there was a way to open up more tix to the real fans so this didn't happen. What was "unprecedented" is it seems like more club fans lost out this time compared to other opportunities. Looks like I'll be stub-hubbing it and giving some greaseball scalper the extra $.0

11. Don't act like a whiny, entitled beach
. You probably did not follow instructions or you simply did not get lucky. The world will not end, as it does not revolve around you, and the new album will be out soon and you will have something new to complain about.
