28 year fan club member here with significant seniority. Got MSG 2 P2 seating. Feel fortunate to "be in the building" but extremely disappointed that someone who joined the fan club a month ago could have gotten GA or P1 seating ahead of me. Just doesn't feel right after all the years of loyalty and $ spent.
What incentive would anyone have to join the fan club if they knew they would have the lowest chances of getting tickets to a show? There are people who were children in the '90s and early 2000s who discovered Pearl Jam as they grew into adolescence and adulthood. It's their fan club, too.
Respectfully, that is what the lottery is for!! Everyone has equal chance of getting tickets. That's fair. I'm only referencing the P2 option at MSG. Most other venues only had GA pr P1 option which is perfect. If you win, seniority kicks in and there you have it. Like philadelphia
There used to be rows held back and distributed without regard to seniority-- as I recall, the 2nd, 8th and 9th rows were among these seats-- so it isn't necessarily new that someone with less seniority could end up with better seats than someone with greater seniority.
By the way, with a low member number in P2, you'll probably be near the front of an upper section close to the stage, whereas the newbie with the P1 seat will be either at the back of the floor or in a section opposite the stage, much farther away than you.
If i recall correctly. It was Rows 1-2, and 9,10 that were random draw? The band was getting a little tired of the same faces up front every show.
You're probably right. The only time I ever won this upgrade was for an Eddie solo show at the Wiltern in L.A. I got to sit in the second row but it was bittersweet because 80 percent of the band was missing.
At the infamous Nassau Coliseum show in April 2003, we were in line to pick up our fan club seats when a girl came walking up from the direction of the ticket windows in happy tears. We asked her if she was crying because she won the lottery. She said no, but that she had asked at the sales window if there were any tickets available to buy and she got a front-row seat. My friend and I were like, "Wait, what?" We pooled our available cash, and he went up to the sales window while I stayed in line. He was able to buy 3rd-row seats. Our fan-club seats (108xxx) ended up being in the 26th row. Still not sure what the hell was going on with those tickets that night but, needless to say, we kept the 3rd-row seats and had a close-up view of the shitstorm that erupted with "Bu$hleaguer."
And A shit storm it was. Saw many shows at the old Nassau Coliseum!! Lived 20 minutes from the venue. First U2 show in 1987. Still have the tour shirt. Great story BTW
I love how they followed it up with "Know Your Rights!"
In Nashville, after bushleaguer "The freedom of speech is still...ALIVE" opening of Alive kicked in and the "BEWWWWWWWWWWW"s went to "YEEEEAAAAAAAYYYYY"

Its almost impossible to do. There are couple of options
1. If you are both going to each show anyway and its RES seats for both you could just walk into the arena together. GA for RES trades a bit harder since you have different entrances and time to get into the venue 2. You trust a stanger with your login so they can get in 3. You time a fan to fan drop in the middle of the night and risk someone else grabbing them
Thanks - was afraid of the answer. I have read option 3 has worked for some on here.

I'm curious how F2F will work for Wrigley and Fenway, if at all. When you go to the TM pages for those shows, it says they're for PJ Premium only, and that all tickets will be delivered via the MLB Ballpark app a week before the show. So, is the MLB app gonna handle F2F for these? I guess things will become a bit more clear when we see how the Verified Fan sale goes down on Friday. Not that it matters much for Wrigley, since there's no restriction on resale there.
Was anybody charged the $10 for the commemorative tickets? I chose this option, but the email saying I got tickets and my bank only show the charge for the tickets and not the additional $10. I was under the assumption it charged at the same time? Does it charge when they print/send the tickets?
I chose this as well and have yet to see a charge.
Hey Everyone, I was lucky enough to be selected for Night #2 in Philly, but shutout for Night #1. I've never had to ask before, but as a Ten Club Member how do I go about trying to purchase a single ticket to Philly Night #1 through the Forum? I really want to attend both shows and don't have much hope for successfully getting a ticket through Ticketmaster's general public sale. Thanks in advance for the info.
You won't be able to do it through the forum, but you will hopefully be able to pick up a face value fan to fan ticket on ticketmaster, which is the only way any of us are going to be able to exchange a 10C ticket. The only benefit the forum might have is if someone can tell you the moment they are dropping their 10C ticket on TM, and then maybe you can be there to snag it before someone else does. Of course, first things first. Since you're only looking for a single, if you're able to shop in the general sale, that increases your chance of getting a ticket.

Can someone let me know something, embarrassingly my card was declined (not that I didnt have the money, forgot that I had an old card in Ticketmaster) I got notification from the card company that the money for the tix was declined but I received no notification from anywhere else stating i have tickets but I need another form of payment. Do they not do that? I was selected for the tix but the decline just puts me out of the running?? Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Yea really. How does one sound gay anyway? Are you saying, "At the risk of sounding lighthearted and carefree?" Or are you using a term that is derogatory and has no place in the forum because as an org, we believe in love, not hate.
I know people are allowed to resell in Chicago for higher prices - will F2F still exist for Wrigley? I want to go to both shows but didn't get tickets and am hoping for face value. I did get Vegas and am super grateful.
Are there gonna be any more draws today for any of the US locations?
I am specifically looking for Philly for either of the nights. I am entered in the draw, but I did not get any confirmation for either of them, so kinda bummed out!
I am a bit hopeful as they mentioned that the US draws will be Monday-Wednesday!
Does anyone have the Vancouver map? Went for GA/P1 option and received P1. Hoping these are floor tickets and not 100 level.
P1 is anything outside of Pit. There is no p2 for Vancouver
Sounds good. My wife and I both got P1 so hopefully one pair is decent. Really curious how this all went down. We both got GA pit for Missoula which I thought would have been harder to get. Might cost a little more to get there but its a really fun place to see PJ. I guess the big draw for Vancouver is that it's the first show.
