    I would gladly go back to mailing index cards and money orders for 1 show per tour.

    The whole situation sucks but I am glad someone admitted/found there was a problem and they are fixing it.  My boy @darwinstheory might have gotten a divorce over this.  

    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I don't feel like a sucker about the lottery draw. I read the information provided and made my choices. Apparently they had a mistake/glitch.

    I feel more like a sucker that I've maintained an uninterrupted member number for 20 years and have watched my seats get farther and farther from the stage (not specifically referring to this time). 

    I also felt like a sucker for keeping my ticket for those years during Covid (and letting someone have my money all that time) and then tickets weren't reassigned for all the people who got refunds. They just sold the refunded seats to other people. My seats should have moved up one place for every refunded ticket BEFORE they re-sold the empties.

    I’m sure Pearl Jam will clearly communicate to fans what happened. They always keep us in the loop with everything

    I don't feel like a sucker in the slightest.  I feel that 10C's ticketing process was a complete fucking debacle with zero transparency or clarity on what changes they implemented this year.  I (along with most of us) did exactly as we should have.  Broken system.
    Yep that pretty much sums it up.  They either changed the way the lottery works and priority doesn't mean shit or they completely fucked up the way they distributed tickets.  Oh yeah, and they fucked up seats based on seniority.....that's the main reason a lot of people are even in the 10c!  The incompetence is impressive.

    right, they basically got rid of every advantage of being in ten club other than getting fan club tickets.......

    now, that is messed up

    Not married (again) yet! But in any event, do you @mcgruff10 have an extra room available? 

    I know there is awareness to the problem but I'm not sure it is entirely being fixed. I'm reading it as though just those that were already awarded tickets are being reallocated tickets. For anyone who hasn't heard a word, things aren't looking good. 

    I hope I'm wrong. After reading everything before the drawings, I woke up Monday morning confident that almost everyone was going to get tickets for the shows they selected. It seemed 10C was talking up having a shit ton of tickets. I was looking forward to a brew with you in StP 2.

    Just out of curiosity- have you ever been suspended from posting on the forum?  Question is for anyone who hasn’t received tickets.

    Not yet, but given the frustration with this whole process I wouldn't rule it out in the future.  =)

    Man this is insane. I guess I haven't gotten the "gfy" email yet, so there is that. But I still wouldn't call myself optimistic. Beer and wings amd we can watch the live stream on Facebook.  :s

    This is the first time I've not gotten anything in a lottery. I now get the feeling that I've just been incredibly lucky in the past. Still gutted though. Only reason I maintain membership is for TC tickets.

    Only reason I keep my tenclub as well. They took away most other benefits. That seems to be all it is for. This could have graciously been handled better say limiting concert requests to 1 or 2 with such a small tour. People now complaining they have to pay for 6 or 7 already.
    don’t think I’ll pay scalper prices for Chicago and can’t travel then so guess I’ll look for other bands to spend it on.

    I just now received confirmation that I got tix for Chicago Night 1 (in the 300 section, but happy to be there), so keep the faith- you haven't been OFFICIALLY shut out yet.

    Wasn't it before covid that the band made a big deal about working with ticketmaster and making sure that almost every ten club member could get tickets for most shows? Maybe not GA but in the building? I got in the building for every Canadian show I wanted last time. Now I don't get pick for my 1st and only pick STP 8/31 but some people got into that show on their 3rd and 4th choice?!
