My guess how ticketing goes.

New lottery happens, all lottery winners from 2020 and 2022 are combined and seniority determines seating no matter when you bought.
Not saying I like this, having tix since 2020, but that’s just how I think it will be.
Seems like the easiest way for them to do it.

0% chance this happens.

So that means you know the way it will play out. Do tell.

Ok, 1% it happens. And if it does, the band can go fuck themselves lol.

I've been patiently holding onto GA Pit tickets for Denver and good seats for San Diego. I'm one of the lucky "higher number" fan club members that signed up before the 2020 ticket lotto and somehow was fortunate enough to snag GA for Denver and some really really really awesome seats for the San Diego show.

I've received countless emails from 10c, Ticketmaster, etc stating my tickets would be seats would be valid for the rescheduled shows.

If they fuck this up and decide to do a new lottery for everyone who's been holding onto their tickets for the last two years that will be the last straw for me.

I get it, there will be bitching no matter how this plays out. I’m ok keeping my existing seats, but would love it if I was moved up based on canceled tix.

How many people are going to see that refund deadline and get their money back today only to see those tickets resold at new price points next week? Just an ugly situation.

And there's absolutely no way another refund window won't be opened once (or maybe I should say if) new dates are announced. It would be a completely unethical business practice otherwise.
So, folks should wait.

Ticketmaster: a company well-known for its high standard of ethics AND how well they treat their customers.

Did we not learn with the Earthlings tour wait until the last minute, prices are too high or no one is going? I dont know. Im doing that. Ill absolutely be at MSG.

It will be an ugly situation if we can't request a refund when they announce new dates and expect all of us to sell tickets on behalf of Ticketmaster if the new dates don't work through Fan2Fan.

TM / PJ: "Thanks for holding onto the tickets for 2 years. I hope you can find someone to buy these tickets for the new dates." I just can't see us not having the option to request a refund after the tour announcement.

Some of us have to travel for these shows. It's not always feasible to wait until the day of the show to get tickets.

Hint that something is coming soon and a weekend full of hype and speculation is my pic.

Ten club really doing awful job here. No question about it. I truly believe the band deeply cares for its fans so not sure the disconnect here. Whatever it is, it’s unacceptable. PJ fans aren’t Foo Fighters fans, meaning we travel. They don’t. But then again, luckily for them, they don’t need to..

Agreed. If I remember correctly we started getting Gigaton teasers on a Friday, tour was announced on the Monday. I’d guess we have news as soon as this coming Monday, but at latest two weeks from now.

I think some of my rage about this comes from the embarrassment that I'm 46 years old and waste this much time making others rich. Shame...shame...shame. It's time for Pearl Ticket Nation Jam Today to announce the damn dates.

Maybe they're working on some new stuff w/ A. Watt while they have a min? I know Eddie had alluded to it in an interview. That's my unfounded theory as to the delay.

Ten Club follows the lead of PJ Management. I guess Ten Club has to be the scapegoat though as it isn't like we can post on Ed or Stone's message board. I don't know even know if the band has a clue or cares about whether the tour has been announced or not. They probably just get an email from Management saying clear your personal schedule for these dates and they show up when told.

I can get where you're coming from to a point, but I tend to think of it, overall, as a joyous and mutually beneficial between humans! I'll go run behind my snow fort and wait for you all to lob some snowballs at me!

I knew there was a reason I was saving this snowball in the freezer the last three months. I think it isn't too much to ask that the people actually fronting the money should be afforded the respect of communication and appropriate lead time for clearing schedules. In most businesses (right or wrong), it is the person with the money (customer) that is always right. PJ was lucky to find the business where it is flipped.

I agree, 100%. I was really responding to Noload's comment about making PJ rich and that my perspective is that its been a joyous exchange of music, and love all these many years.

Great point. PJ management is really dropping ball here. Ten Club is more shoot the messenger so to speak
