Anyone have any insite on my chances to get Reserved at a 99% show? Specifically Nashville? Totally new to this process

Reply: "Unless you screwed up somehow, you're pretty much guaranteed to have tickets. I mean, theoretically, it's possible that the odds worked out to be 98.6% and they rounded up, in which case we'll have ~7 disappointed people."

I got a ticket front row behind the pit for Charlotte 2013 through TM.

My 10C Greenville 2016 tickets were almost nosebleed.

I'm still wondering if I should've just done regular on-sale.

gotta give them credit for continuing to try to push this process forward in a more efficient way and that keeps the bots out as much as possible

we've come a long way from the 10C DIY site crashing and people reloading for 3 hours

I am fine with paying a $25 ticketmaster fee if it: 1) puts fan club odds at getting seats really really high, 2) reduces significantly the amount of seats that get in the hands of scalpers, particularly those seats that get sold direct to StubHub and never sold to the public because the ticket industry is unregulated and rife with conflicts of interest that screw normal people big time, 3) is executed through a computer system that is reliable, and 4) provides an additional opportunity for a pre-sale before the general public if for some reason you can't get fan club tix, and 5) screw flanders

Best seats i've ever had were through general sale. Side stage, stone's side, about 20 rows up in Lexington at the 2016 show. If i knew how to post a pic, i would. We started hitting refresh at 10:00 sharp and actually first had nose bleeds in the upper level. Took us about five minutes to get these. Then after purchasing these, just for the hell of it, I tried again and they had opened up a brand new section, resulting in said seats. We ended up giving our first set of tickets to my wife's nephew as a thank you for hooking us up over the past year with his Oreiley's discount, lol..

sounds like they have tried to address that phenomenon in the new process. if not through 10C lottery, then through verified fan pre-sale.

i am sure some venues will still reserve some good paid seats for non-10C members, which is not unreasonable

but I think they have learned a little bit each year and it's encouraging to see how far they have come from where we started

Reported on Reddit that Pluralone, Josh Klinghoffer's (very recently ex-RHCP guitarist) band, is opening the Baltimore show.

I was 3/3 for this tour getting tickets via 10c for the shows I requested. Scanning various sites, it seems like people are getting more confirmations than rejections for their requests.

Kudos to the fan club actually improving the chances of members securing tickets this time around.

Why am I picturing them reviewing ticket requests like they were looking for hanging chads?

Goddamnit, they're gonna pull MSG last. What am I missing with them not doing this in order?

i'm guessing MSG had by far the most requests, so it probably takes longer to sift through it properly.

Makes sense. I just foolishly assumed that it would go in order., but they never said that would be the case.

Yea, I see that now. I just jumped to conclusions when they started at the front end of the tour yesterday with the Canada dates.

Nope. They skipped over San Diego. Do all venues use TM? Years ago, Balimore Arena did not.
