    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 $.
    What shows did you try for and what kind of seat?

    Interesting - where do you live that there were periods of “no hope of a PJ stop near me” but there was (presumably) a nearby show that you couldn’t get tickets for this time?

    I only picked NYC and didn't get them; was waitlisted for Ticketmaster verified fan presale and didn't get that either. If I recall correctly, the emails made it seem almost certain that we were all in! I can't be mad but I was surprised. I went to all the Fenway shows in '16 & '18 and I got used to being guaranteed my ticket requests. Huge fan!

    Not to give you to hard of time, but other than Denver and MSG, it should be true fans going to the shows as it will be extremely difficult to resell a ticket.  

    Other than those 2 shows, PJ shows aren't even being listed on stubhub or the other major sites.

    Can I add --- If you're not successful in receiving lottery tickets through the initial 10C issuance, you should automatically be entered as a Verified Fan for the public presale. I didn't do the latter thinking that 99% chance when I registered for the 10C lottery was a slam dunk.

    It took 30 seconds to register for the Verified Fan sale.

    The lottery is a 10C initiative and VF is run by TM so unrelated. Both are open to everyone who wishes to participate. You might regret that now, but that isn't necessarily a reason it needs to change. Learn and do better next time.

    I registered for the VF for 2 shows, but only ever received the code for 1. Was that not a guarantee presale for members?
    Didn't really matter as I got the lotto picks, but was going to try and get another couple to join us.

    No - the email you got when you registered for VF had some 10pt font "fine print".

    See #2.

    #11. One reason that extreme demand exists is because the band keeps prices comparably low compared to other top tier artists ($1,600 face value for Rolling Stones pit in 2019 tour, $850 face value for Eagles 100 level in 2020 tour, etc.).

    I'm not sure about seniority. I have a low 10c number and when I got my presale code it was only 3 digits. My buddy whose 10C number is 100XXX got a 5 digit number, and my wife, who joined in 2017 got a number in the 800,000's. This part is more tenuous, but of the 3 of us I was the only one to score any tickets.

    One time I met a guy from New York who liked Filet-o-Fish therefore all New Yorkers like Filet-o-Fish?

    I was lucky enough to score 2 Fan Club tickets to the STL show on 4/8 (and was notified of such and charged),  The email said I'd be notified the Week of 1/27 of where my seats will be.  I know the week is not over yet, but I still don't have a confirmation or see anything in my Ticketmaster account.  Anyone else in the same boat?  Have notifications gone out?
