    I miss the good old days of waiting in line at a ticketmaster outlet or venue office to get hard tickets.
         oh the anxiety i used to get . or there were people in line, then the store would give out numbers, like a lottery- and that would mess up the established line of ticket purchasers, when said store featured a Bass Ticket outlet
    How bout the time when we all had to pick up our 10c tickets at will call the day of the show? 10C has done such an amazing job streamlining this process and doing everything they can to get reasonably priced tickets in the hands of true fans.

    Most of us have jobs and stuff now though, and no longer have the time for that.
    People had jobs back then too.

    I actually liked that, opening that envelope was like Christmas morning, especially if you lucked out with one of the lottery rows.

    Yeah, it would have been amazing at Fenway 2018 to open my envelope and see "Turf A2 Row 2", though I wouldn't have had time to make my Thank You sign.

    I actually enjoyed the process of sending in the index cards and getting money orders.  Those were fun.  It was such an ordeal, but they almost ALWAYS were able to secure you tix.

    You seem to have a fetish for the word cuckold.  You might be posting on the wrong website.

    Have you guys though about flying to California instead of buying platinum tickets.  I'm looking at the Oakland shows and there's so many tickets left.  Boatload of platinum's (the closer ones) and so much in the upper deck for verified fan.

    Flights to California might be cheaper than dealing with East Coast dates?

    You throwing in hotel costs, for those who wouldn't have to stay in hotels for east coast shows?  Let me know, that might change the calculation... ;)

    So many California shows, some of which are selling exactly as expected. Such a weird choice.

    Theory: they had to line-up shows that were within an hour or so flight to Los Angeles so they can wrap up the album with Andrew Watt at the pace Eddie promised (to the band).

            I agree about the amazing job the 10C has done & the amazing access they have provided +++. A game-changer- cuz in my perceptions, in my small world- Pearl Jam tickets have been a challenge to get, cuz it seemed to me back in the day and for a long time, they always SOLD OUT rather quick
