Will lottery begin as soon as an announcement is made? 

Yup.

It's typically: "Tickets go on sale on __date and time_. A presale for 10 Club members active as of yesterday is now open and closes on ______."

It's important to remember that people who enter in the first five minutes have the same exact chance as people who enter in the last minute.

Thank you.
If this Thursday it's stressing me out because I'll be at work (last day of classes until January 21) and away from the phone & the internet. 

If they announce Thursday you’ll probably have until about Sunday to enter

Indeed.

And again, everyone who enters on Thursday has the same chance to win as people who enter on Sunday evening do.

Keep in mind that if you win, your card will be charged. At least now, if you can't go, you can put your tickets up on Fan2Fan (Ticketmaster exchange) and the first person to see them gets them.

The buyer cannot dictate who the seller is. If you try for an oddball time like 4am your time zone, keep in mind that it's 10am in another time zone.

And...let me get this out of the way:

Even if some venues don't allow direct transfers, those venues have season ticket holders and other people who can directly transfer tickets. A lot of NHL, NBA, MLB, etc season ticket holders will buy concert tickets, sell them for profit and use that to defray the cost of their season tickets.

DO NOT GET UPSET WHEN RESALE TICKETS ARE $499.99 or whatever. THESE ARE PROBABLY SEASON TICKET HOLDER TICKETS.

Also: Don't freak out and buy the Platinum tickets for $900 or whatever. These tickets are random throughout the venue and fluctuate based on demand just like airline tickets do. There almost certainly will be tickets for a much more reasonable price as the date gets closer.

I went to 9 shows in 2024. Three of them I already had GA for, and the other six I used tickets I got the day of show or the day before. Four of those six were through TM drops, two were fans through the forum offering GA.

I don't expect a tour announcement until 2025, unless Jazz Fest gets announced in 2024.  

It doesn't seem crazy to me that they would announce a run of headline shows then a festival or two gets plugged in whenever those festivals announce 

Didn’t that happen in 2022 or am I remembering that wrong? Bit different with rescheduled shows I guess.

Looking for 2 GA to either night in Raleigh or Pittsburg please. It was my Son's first concert when we saw them in B'more and I would love to surprise him with pit tickets.

They are probably ticket scalpers that are scooping up all of the fan to fan drops you mean.

Based on my quick research, it looks like the Rolling Stones included their Jazz Fest appearance when they announced their whole tour on November 21 2023, and the whole Jazzfest lineup came out in the middle of January 2024, so it seems there is some precedence in a headliner announcing their tour before the festival drops their lineup and/or tickets.
