    ive been in this club since 1996. its the first time ive ever been shut out of a show at msg. i dont buy multiple shows, and i dont ever flip the merch. I feel betrayed by the fanclub ive supported all these years. first taking the single away, now getting shut out of my hometown show. and seriously, one show in NY?

    And I've been playing the Maine State Lottery for 24 years now.  Never once won.  Never felt so betrayed.

    I do have a couple friends in the 10Club I've sat next to for the past 20 years because we have similar numbers and this 1 guy never freakin loses. He gets all his hometown shows, I don't get it. Since new system I've lost MSG more than I've won. I think some people have been very lucky in the past.

    If you’ve only been shut out of one MSG show, I’d say that’s pretty freakin rad.

    The number of shows on the Tour screwed New York. The short legs always send demand through the roof.

    Yes. Hopefully in the fall they will do two shows in each of the Boston, NY and Philly markets like they have in the past, and just like on those tours we will all be able to easily obtain tickets, nobody will get pissed off about losing lotteries or striking out on Ticketmaster insta-sellouts, and there will be abundant good seats available for reasonable prices on the secondary market.

    Betrayed? I've been in the 10C a little longer and I lost out on both Fenway shows in 2016. The odds were tiny but possible to go 0-2 and I got the short straw. It happens. But I wound up with a pair on the field for both shows. Roll up your sleeves and get to work. You've got 2 months.

    Already did. I called in a favor with my friend at the Garden. I'll be sitting in a corporate box with booze, food, and bathrooms. FTW. Shit works out.

    Will you be giving a seminar for those of us without the skill set?

    Damn man, thats awesome.  I struck out all three times this time around so looks like I will be waiting day of show at MSG hoping to snag two tickets like I did in 2016

    If I was replying to someone earnestly asking? Yes.

    If I was replying to someone who would respond with 6 complainy paragraphs arguing with each of my tips? No.

    I've decided I am not happy with the lottery from 2016 and also now that I know the setlists and have listened to the boots I would like the Tenclub to build me the time machine I am owed so that I can go to whatever show I want.

    It's the least they can do for not providing the analog/analogue (for the Europeans) fans the single as stated in the by-laws.
