    100% lottery is the way to go. Open it up just to 10C initial winners and not fan to fan.

    Have it tied to the winners name and a plus 1 and those that want to be put in the lottery can. 

    If the person sells their ticket on fan to fan it no longer can be put in the lotto. Also you can’t gift or sell the ticket to someone else you have to be there to get the bracelet. 
    Absolutely

    I love the lottery idea although I'd allow any ticket holder to participate. Whoever is at the line by a certain time gets a number, and the number drawn is first. Did a couple of Springsteen lottos that way. Once I got a good spot and once not so good. Eliminates a huge waste of time camping and gives a chance to people who can't devote that kind of time to camping out. Of course those who love the current system would go ballistic

    That def works too. Only reason I said the above is because it can be done online before the actual show date.

    Well in Dublin right now the queue is 20 already 
    Two nights sleeping in the cold on the sidewalk, no tents allowed, and the rail was like a mile from the stage. Setlist was . . . not what most die-hard fans would want. Wonder if it was worth it?

    I’m not getting the hate for the setlist.  People are really upset about it?

    We joined the 10c queue after 1pm, got an amazing spot on the rail with no obstruction and clear view of everyone. And Ed came literally right up to us. There is zero reason to camp out and the slightly different rail setup gave loads more people to have a good spot. 

    Anyone complaining seems to have lost all enjoyment from going to a PJ gig.

    Back in the day we used to sleep out for concert tickets. I totally understand the fun that can be had in those situations. That said I will take my reserved seats at this point of my life.

    More like "ho hum" than hate or being upset.
