What is up what the ticket-distribution snafu for this short tour.? I don't get it. I saw and heard about it in Camden, and then I hear about it again in Hartford.

No snafu in Hartford... People just waited too long to go up and get their tickets because there was alot of tailgating going on...

If you were in that line, you need to let the club know. This should happen to anyone.

Sorry to say, but if you waited 1.5 hours in line to get your tickets and you missed the first 6 songs... Let see... they began playing around 9:25, so the sixth song would have started around 9:45, give or take, so you got in line for your tickets at 8:15 for a 7:30 show....
How do you blame 10C or the venue staff for that???

This post makes a hell of a lot of sense.
The line was long, but it sounds as if some people wanted to tailgate a little too long.
for the least they could possibly do
eventually they opened new lines for 10C and it started moving. why didn't they do this sooner??!???
anyway, good night. tomorrow is a new day.
wow, you couldn't be more wrong. were you there?
PJ was scheduled to hit the stage @ 9:15, many of us were in line for over an hour before then. (To those who keep saying "line opens @ 2, some of us don't feel the need to get to the venue 6 or 7 hours early...or have jobs, or lives,) Anyway, I know I didn't get in until after the 9th fucking song...because the LINE was not moving for an hour. It had NOTHING to do with too many people. Just piss poor organization & no explanation.
No beers, no J's, no butts.......head right over and get your tix, then you can relax.
Does it really hurt you or me? Don't read the post if you will be offended.
Why do people feel the need to start blaming the person who left the message.
Yes, if you sat in the parking lot tailgating you should be kicking yourself. You didn't see it coming, but it could have been avoided.
Many people really do have work or child care issues.
You and I would be pissed too, if ran out of work and through traffic and this happens to us.
Not one person blamed the ten club. The venues are being blamed.
If the gripes(and gripes of ticket switches by box office employees...I was definately a victim last tour) are true lets hear about them.
I learn from them.
Now, I know not to buy tickets to a show far from home on a workday due to these problems. Thanks for venting, it helps us all out.

I have never seen a line like this. I'm kicking myself for not picking up the tickets before I started partying in the lot, but I really don't see how I could have predicted this.
I stood in line for 7 minute, had a really nice person help me, and my seats were pretty good!
I LOVE THE 10 CLUB!
Moral of this story.... tailgating is for amaturs!
However, as many have stated, if you got in line by 7:30 or so, you were fine, and had basically no wait. It is apparent that everyone waited till 8:00 or later to pick up the tickets. If everyone does this, there will be a bottle neck and the wait will be long.
Sure, there should have been more booths, etc, but you have no control over this. What you do have control over is going to pick up tickets prior to when the concert starts (7:30). That just make sense to me. When I get to a venue, the first thing I do is get my tickets. Now I do feel bad for those who were running late because of work, family obligations like kids, etc, but I am pretty sure from my experience at Hartford, that the main cause of this was excessive tailgating, not people who were late due to traffic.
there's really no point in responding to you is there?
The set list was AMAZING tonight! Sad i missed some of it.
If there was only one window, that is total BS.
And that is ultimately the TenClub's fault.
They choose to have people pick up at the venue day of show.
So they need to insure proper staff is there to handle the crowd, not the venue.
If they choose to use venue box office, they better know how many they get, etc. If the venue only has one window, then the 10C needs to finds 5-7 people to set up outside the window to hand out tickets. You bought the tickets thru 10c, therefore they are responsible.
Listen I love the 10C. All 3 shows this tour I waited a total of 5 minutes. But I did get there early because I took off of work or it was weekend. But heading in to venues, the line was long. And that was with 4-7 windows. So I can only imagine how long that line was last night with ONE window.
I think the 10c needs to send all 10C ticket holders last night a free boot of the show since they may have missed some songs.
People, if you are spending to much time in the car park drinking etc, blame no one else but yourselves. No One.
Gonna be a great show tonight and Monday then back home to Melbourne, Aus. Worth all the While.
There was only one window in WPB and in Columbia- and had no problems there- quit blaming the 10 club for waiting too long before getting your tickets

world fucking champs!!!
I arrived at the 10c ticket line around 8:00pm leaving over an hour to pick up tickets. This has never been an issue at any other show i have been to, 25+. It is not unreasonable to expect to get your tickets in this amount of time. The line had to be 1,000 people deep when I arrived. What was most frustrating was how everything was handled. The line stood at a dead stop for an hour and finally started to move after PJ took the stage.
Overall the venue was run horribly. There was no crowd control what so ever. People were throwing glass beer bottles all over the place, the parking lots were covered in broken glass. People also basically just pissed where ever they stood. All of this was happening while venue security and police were BSing with each other and standing around.
When we finally got into the venue only one of the four security personnel checking tickets before you were allowed into your section had a flashlight. Also when leaving the show there was a large well lit cement staircase leading back up to road you need to walk to trek back to your car. But instead of having people use this, it was blocked off by a locked and gated fence, the crowd ripped down a cyclone fence and climbed up a dirt hill back to the road.
That said, I also arrived at 7:45 and got in line before 8 and got in at 9:45. I don't tailgate (or even drink in general) so quit assuming everybody in line were just some party-animals and irresponsible fans. Only one person so far it seems on any of the Hartford boards has honestly admitted that they were tailgating and forgot to get tickets. Everyone else has a solid reason for arriving late, including everyone I met in line during my 90 minute+ wait.
UUUUMMMMM
Using touringfans.net as a "gauge" of the amount of 10C tickets for each show.
Show Number Attending
West Palm Beach, FL 146
Columbia, SC 159
Hartford, CT 378
So you can say there is more then double the fans attended this show.
So the 10C should know this and maybe have two+ windows since the "little" shows down south went without problem.
AGAIN I LOVE THE 10C.
But they did not ensure proper distribution of THEIR tickets here.
