    $175 tickets will weed out a lot of people from doing the lottery option - plus the enormous pit for Chicago- my odds are way higher to get a GA 🍀🍀 a guy can dream right?
    Yes, one can dream! 

    Although I don't think the $175 price is going to scare away that many people. It may make people bitch, whine, scream, yell, and cry. But at the end of the day they are going to still try to get tickets, and pay the $175. 
    Most people are going to spend far more than that on the travel and hotels. So I doubt a lot will not attend because they're spending an extra $30 on a ticket that last time.

    I'm in a similar position looking at the Wrigley shows. Trying to gauge whether it's better to try and get some through 10C or wait and buy resale. I'd prefer not to have 300 level tickets and see that there were better options available for cheaper on secondary markets. Anyone have experience from the last Wrigley shows?

    The ticketing process for the Wrigley shows in 2018 would be comparing apples and oranges.  That was pre-PJ Premium era.  My high 10C number still got me decent 100 level seats down the third base line in shallow left field.  Now, my seats would very likely be further back and/or upper deck.  There’s a good chance those tickets can be had for less than $175 via stubhub (IL laws) or there’s opportunity for better seats at face value via Fan to Fan.  So it’s really a big gamble.

    I am in the same boat for Saturday at Wrigley. Higher number, so if I don't get GA who knows where I will end up, but I do want a shot at GA though. I have been going back and forth on whether to cancel my request.

    i put in for wrigley 2 because the dates worked better than any of the other 2nd leg shows.  with my number i'll probably be somewhere on the field, which won't be great for my short wife but it's pj at wrigley in the summer so i won't complain...much.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    What is "PJ Premium" relative to 10 C?  I'm a new member to 10C.  Also, if I might ask, what is "fan to fan".  Is there a ticket exchange of some kind through 10C?

    Back in 2018 I was a year into my membership and I was in 400s..but honestly it was great. Night 2 I had GA and that was also amazing for different reasons. First night I really took in the crowd and the stadium and the city lights..the whole mood. 2nd it was just me and the band in my brain

    PJ Premium is just a name for Ticketmaster's premium price tickets. Not related to 10C.
    Fan to fan is a ticket exchange through Ticketmaster. For non-Illinois shows, tickets had to be sold at face value and could not be sold on secondary sites. My understanding is that Illinois has a law preventing that, so tickets can be scalped for higher or lower than face value on secondary sites.

    Thank you.  One more fan to fan question, is that 10C members only and facilitated through Ticketmaster?  Do you have to be a 10C member to access that feature?

    For the non-Illinois shows, all tickets have to be exchanged through fan to fan, 10C or regular. So everyone has access.
    It made finding good seats for face value pretty easy, but also makes it hard to get rid of worse seats since you couldn't lower the price.

    Interesting.  I guess they have some way of verifying that the buyer is a "fan" and not a reseller other than 10C membership.

    Does member number impact the quality of your seat options at all venues?

    Didn't they claim that they were using Premium Pricing as a way to keep 10c tickets down too?

    My thoughts....

    Everyone putting in for Wrigley are going to get their tickets. 
    Plus I think there will be plenty available later on, in the secondary market, for face value or less.

    Potentially unpopular opinion: I think stadium shows have less demand this year than previous tours. I think everyone that requests gets in.

    Not bothering to put in for Fenway. Did not put in lottery in either 2016 nor 2018 yet ended up at all 4 shows. Tickets were easy to come by in in drops, or people unloading. 

    We did put in for Seattle 2018 home shows - me for GA or bust night 1, husband for GA or bust night 2. Won both.

    Would love to go back to Seattle for an arena show this year, but it doesn't look like our schedule will work.

    Yes, I got better seats for a little under face value at the last one. If you have a high member number, you'll be better off getting tix through resale rather than 10C. After tax, I believe face value is $191.38.
    Many won't want to pay that for a nosebleed seat.

    Many people were bummed about having paid $162 for 300 level last year, and were not able to resell them for more than $75-$100, so lost money on it.
    The friend I went with to one of the Chicago shows last year is passing on going to this year’s show, due to the $191 price tag. Other friends share the same sentiment.
    Will depend on how big of a fan you are, and to some extent, how much money you make, to afford it.
