One angle I didn't consider...you know there is going to be someone who accidentally wins 10 shows because of the elimination of priority.

I know it has always said "be prepared to be charged for everything" but with the old priority system there was always kind of a cap on what was realistic. 

In the old days you had to get them at will call too. Now you can just post them on F2F. So as long as someone can take the credit card hit for a month or so, someone can realistically sign up for every show knowing they can dump whatever they don't want pretty easily. It was very apparent last year that was the case, as you'd see people who all of a sudden "couldn't make it" for a show they just put in for a few weeks before, and post them up to F2F as soon as that option opened. The by-product of this is that it pushes out others who actually want to go further back, or not getting picked at all. 

Basically, the 10c tickets are now just a starting point and then you hit F2F to see if you can do better. Of the 6 pairs I won last tour, only my #6 pick were seats that didn't suck and/or I couldn't easily do better with 30 minutes of F5 on F2F.  It went from me being shutout in the lottery for two shows in South Carolina in 2016 to now pretty much getting picked for everything and not using what they are giving out.

Which is why I think it's still worth doing the lottery. I want GA for the show I picked. If I don't get that, maybe I'll get seats I like. If not, I'll find better ones at the F2F and sell my 10 Club. 

The people getting screwed with the no priority system are people in NYC, Philly, and Baltimore. I went from having 0% chance of getting those to the same as people who live beside the arenas who would have put them as #1 back in the day. I might have a 0.001% chance of getting GA for NYC, but....

I kind of wish they'd do a zip code thing for shows like MSG or other tough tickets. I know PJ is a travel band, but I think it should be easier for someone who lives within a few miles to get to tickets than me in CA. 

Would it help that much?  New York has almost 75% of the population of Canada within 100 miles of its city centre.   I think playing a bigger venue would help more

A four hour drive from NYC yields the population of Canada plus Australia. And also Almost nearly doubles the population of California (closer to 1.5x).

And you would still need to drive 2 more hours before you hit Syracuse but MSG is still our closest “local” show. New York is a big state beyond just NYC.

This feels like a Capital One commercial 
WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?

Anybody else having trouble even entering a request? I'm trying to put in a request for tickets to the 8/29 show at Wrigley and keep getting this error:

 Unable to proceed:

• Validation of TM Login failed. Please revisit the event list and ensure that you are logged in to Ticketmaster before continuing.

I've logged out of and back into both my 10C and TM accounts with no success. I made sure my default payment method is not AmEx. I've tried both with and without the commemorative tickets. Still nothing.

I’ve just been charged for the Dublin date. No mail yet but the charge has gone through!

NM. I got it figured out...

TIME SENSITIVE REQUEST FOR HELP. 

Does anyone remember the price of a single ticket for the Seattle shows in the lottery?  I want to make sure I did this correctly, because otherwise I have to cancel my request and do another one today.

I thought I requested two tickets for two different sections, but the total cost seems lower than I remembered. My confirmation email says
"2 tickets"  The total price for one section is $185 and the other is $175 (total $370). 

That's not right, is it? 

Got my email confirmation too, 2 golden circle tickets for Dublin.
I guess the European mails must be starting to trickle out now!

Horrible news about AMEX!  I used my AMEX for my USA lottery submission.  Wondering if I should re-submit with my Capital One Mastercard instead.

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I went back to my 2023 AMEX annual statement and saw that the charge (when I was confirmed for Indy tickets) was from "TICKETSTODAY*PEARL JCROZET VA". So, if Tickets Today doesn't accept AMEX any longer, it had to have happened in the last 10 months.

Then, of course, the paranoia starts kicking in. 10C states that it DOESN'T MATTER when you submit your request, you'll still have a shot at confirmation if your request is submitted before 2/18, 7am PT. But with all these SNAFU's already happening, who knows.

Knowing the issue with AMEX why risk it? Not worth the hassle in my eyes. I would resubmit everything on ViSA/MC only not even messing with DISCOVER.

Guys, they’re only playing 35 shows as a “world tour” that’s why prices are high. Green Day and Foo are charging less but they’re also playing A LOT more shows. If we got a 2006 type tour pretty sure prices would be lower.

So, they want to make money..
