    On the plus side (I know...), we wont have to dump our sub-par reserved seats and can fully rely on F2F!
    This is the truth. I think that I have managed to upgrade every single show since F2F has been introduced, including to GA a couple times.

    I am interested to see what tix are on sale on Friday morning. I have a feeling it will be the least desirable tix up for grabs, preying on those that were shut out on presale.  Before you buy, think back to what was popping up a day or two before the show last NA leg.  


    Also be careful about the dreaded inadvertent PJ Premium purchase on Friday.  
    PJ: 2013: London (ON); Buffalo; 2014: Cincinnati; 2016: Sunrise, Miami, Toronto 1-2, Wrigley 2; 2018: London (UK) 1, Milan, Padova, Sea 2, Wrigley 1-2, Fenway 1-2; 2021: SHN, Ohana, Ohana Encore 1-2; 2022: LA 1-2, Phx, Oak 1-2, Fresno, Copenhagen, Hyde Park 1-2; Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto; MSG, Camden, Nashville, Louisville, St. Louis, OKC; 2023: St. Paul 1-2, Chicago 1-2; Fort Worth 2; Austin 1-2; 2024:  Vancouver 1-2, LV 1-2, LA 1-2, Napa, Barcelona 1-2; Indy; Chicago 1-2; MSG 1-2; Philly 2; Boston 2; Ohana 1-2; 2025: FL 1-2, ATL 1-2, Nash 1-2, Pit 1-2.
     
    EV Solo: 2017 Louisville and Franklin, 2018 Ohana, 2019 Innings Fest, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dublin and Ohana; 2021 Ohana Friday (from beach) and Saturday; 2022 Earthlings Newark; 2023 Innings Fest and Benoraya 1-2.

    wow! crazy 0-10?!? 
    0-10 (and I'm not the only one)
    Going 0/10 is not surprising. Odds are not in our favor. Seeing individuals go 6/8, 7/10, etc., now that's surprising. Zero chance it's 100% random.
    This is the definition of random. Some will get all, some will get some, some will get none. 
    While you are correct that there will be variance. The probability of outcomes varies greatly. Speculation based on entry numbers is there were ~25,000 entries. For the sake of this exercise let’s assume the average number of shows selected was 3. The probability of a single entry winning 0 lotteries, when entering a minimum of 3, is 66.48%. The probability of an entry winning 7 or more is 0.000018%. 
    Yeah this is the answer to the flippant "that's how lotteries go" response. If it's tough enough that you see people going 0 for 10, you wouldn't think you'd see many if any 7 for 8s.

    We have no idea how the sausage is made so I'm not saying there's some grand conspiracy. But I also wouldn't constantly jump in and tut-tut someone who is frustrated.
    Well said. There are clearly some selection details that we are not privy to. Thanks to F2F, my account probably refreshed TMs site 100k times last year. And then I requested all 10 shows as GA/Res. In their eyes, the probability of me being the PJ crazed fan that I am is probably pretty low!

    Either 0-4 or 1-4 depending on how this blank email/pending charge situation shakes out. Definitely looks like I hit for Pitt 2 but the transaction glitched. Never had an issue like this before. Waiting on word back from Ticketstoday.

    Bro what? That’s unacceptable. I saw plenty of people hit all shows. I’m sorry. My card got declined for a show even after I called the yesterday morning to tell them the exact amount and who it would be. Couldn’t sleep last night

    Unfortunately the band's current touring practices have created a system of haves and have-nots.   The band stills makes great music, still puts on a great show, and have every right to run their business however they see fit.  However, the way in which they currently tour does support a system where only some can see them.  Because they only hit certain cities, most have to travel see them which requires the financial and schedule flexibility to do so.  Even when they hit major cities where travel may not be required, because they hit so few places on a single leg, it makes it difficult to obtain tickets.  If you have the financial flexibility you can put in for all shows and increase your potential odds for winning.  If you have the schedule flexibility, you can go anytime during the week or spend the time on f2f to potentially get tickets.  Like I said, the band can run their business however they sit fit, but the unintended consequence is the current system where if you have the means you have a much better chance of seeing them live.

    How would you see them slotting into that lineup?

    Also would a festival like that in Charlotte allow them to book 2 headline show in Raleigh a week plus later?

    0-2 in Hollywood. Oh well, they’ll definitely be back in Florida soon, right? RIGHT?!
    I assume the same for me.  

    First off, there's no sane reason for them playing the Hard Rock Hollywood, vs. the Kia Center in Orlando for example, with a much better central location and it has about three times the capacity.

    Secondly, you think that they'd have perfected the system after about 34 years.  Why should I hang on to a 20+ year old membership (208XXX) if I can't get in the house in my home state for at least one of two shows?  


    208XXX (September 2000) - 21 Pearl Jam shows, 2 Eddie Vedder shows, 1 Temple Of The Dog show
    1998     - East Lansing & Auburn Hills; 2000 - Tampa & Noblesville; 2003 - Lexington & Noblesville;
    2006 - Cincinnati; 2007 - Chicago (Lollapalooza); 2008 - Ed in Milwaukee; 2009 - Chicago;

    Depends on the offer. I don't see Lovin' Life as a lock, but I won't be surprised, either.

    The first point: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. That venue has pulled the following in the last decade: The Stones, Bruce, Metallica, RHCP, and Gn'R. It's sad, but true.

    The second point: I got nothin'. Right there with ya, bud. Tampa used to be a lock. Now? Tumbleweeds. Damn shame, too. Every single Tampa show slaps. No phoning it in, not once.

    For the first time ever, I too am questioning: "do I need to spend the extra yearly cost?" Especially with F2F wide open? Something to think about...

    That's surprising. Any OG who put in for one show that wasn't Hollywood should've gotten it. No reason not to.

    I miss the priority system... Imagine having two different accounts (Wife and I)... Both accounts entered for one draw only... And both are trending to be shut out...
