    I honestly wouldn't mind them going back to the way they did it in 03 with the money orders and cue cards. A little more inconvenient, but less hectic, you threw everything into the mail and hoped for the best

    What exactly constitutes a "loyal" member? Who is unloyal and why are they unloyal?

    Based on what Ed said at MSG in 2003, and the 10% rule, it would seem that 4000 fan clubbers got a pair of tickets in 2003, and the band was allowed to sell 1000 pairs of tickets to each show today.

    People who have supported the band through their career and never stopped paying dues and such. That is what makes a loyal fan.
    Tell the Captain the boats not safe were drowning, turns out he's the one making waves.

    I was thinking this too. It was a lot easier to get tickets. But then again, like someone else said on here there are more fans then tickets so there are going to be people left out in the cold.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    i think the key to getting tickets was just not giving up, i was able to score both and my buddy the same because we just kept hitting back relentlessly and not giving up, we both got night 2 at about 2:30

    And so does that make me, a 20 year old who has been to 4 shows, unloyal? Considering that I own countless boots, listen to them daily, and talk about them constantly? It happens, people get shut out. It isn't as if you can't go now, the general sale hasn't even happened for god's sake. I went to Philly 05, paid 150 for my seat, best 150 I've spent. So people just need to suck it up, and stop being babies about the whole thing. I know why you are frustrated, but thems the breaks.

    Yeah don't you know that you need to go to over 100 shows to be counted as loyal? :p

    you cant expect them to have tickets for every single fan club member can you ?? Is that what you think?? Seriously, I have said it before I will say it again, think of the amount of 10c tickets vs the the number of fans trying for said 10c tickets.

    You think you're the only one who got shut out ????


    Why shouldn't you expect that?
    Loyal fanclub fans filling an arena? what is wrong with that??

    Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't mean that there aren't large amounts of people that are big fans of the band, but are not fan club members. Some people are acting as if we are this snooty country club, how dare we let Joe Schmo play. Cmon guys.
