    I think there’s going to be A LOT of disappointed people after lotto winners are announced. 
    I understand it helps them sell all their ticket allotment, but they really ruined it making it so easy for people to enter the lottery and then dump tickets. When you were stuck with what you got, it made it so only those truly trying to attend would enter. 
    Spot on with this take right here^^^^

    And watch the number of threads that will pop-up that so many NEED to sell for various "reasons" when it gets closer to the shows.
    This is the first tour I’ve done this, always annoyed me but just trying to raise my chances.  I’m gonna hate myself if I win most of what I’ve put in but it’s the game these days unfortunately 
    This is what screws up those of us that only want 1 or 2 shows

    Agreed that is why I said I’m gonna hate myself I win them all.  I put in for Florida Raleigh and Pittsburgh so I think my chances are slim to win them all.  Basically Florida I put in because of the venue size.  That’s gonna be about a 5 percent chance to win those shows.  And only Florida did I out ga and reserved.  Raleigh and Pittsburgh reserved only

    Betos pizza on Banksville Road.  
    It’s probably like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. 
    Cold and warm at the same time. But really good.  

    Mt. Lebanon has an excellent Chinese restaurant, Jade Grille, and Il Pizzaiolo has great pasta and pizza - both pricey but good.  

    And of course there’s Primanti brothers.  

    I’d stay away from the strip district after 9 or 10.  You’ll feel the vibe change.  The strip is great during the day but small and congested on the weekends.  

    If you’re flying and staying in town the view once you exit the tunnel is pretty special.  

    It’s a tiny city.  When Pittsburgh started people left town after work.

    We’re planning to come up from Maryland and make a weekend out of it. First time in Pittsburgh. We have two little kids (not going to the shows) so will try and do some fun stuff on Saturday and Sunday.
    Not sure if Kennywood is open at that time of year, but it's a fun old school amusement park. I went for the Christmas events last year when I was in town, and it was how I remembered it from 20 years ago, when I lived there.

    Don’t forget if they announce a Canadian leg in the new year, many Canadians might dump their tickets and go buy shows in Canada due to the exchange. A lot can happen up until show day.

    Put in for both nights. I feel like demand for this show could be higher than expected due to it being on a weekend and the closest show to the Canadian border. Good luck everyone!

    This show thread has double to triple the amount of views than the others. So hunch that this will be the hardest tickets to get is tracking.

    It's likely all my fellow Yinzers super ecstatic that the band is returning for the first time since 2013.

    The real "losers" of this - local fans who have to battle with the travelers. Not saying ppl aren't allowed to travel, but probably less ppl traveling then.

    This - Pittsburgh has had some rough luck the last few shows for yinzers. 2013 was a really hot ticket (LB tour opener on a Friday), and I got shut out then as a local. Now 2025, two dates over a weekend for a small tour. Wishing everyone the best of luck over the next few days!

    Ten Band needs to play a show Saturday night!  They are great - would be nuts with 10 Clubbers there!  
    To each their own, but the thought of a PJ cover band to me is still so cringey regardless of how good/accurate they are. The last thing I'd want to do is see an imitation sandwiched between two PJ shows.
