No, because GA is 10C only.

"Ten Club has acquired the entire GA pit for fan club members only"

Also I am trying to buy tickets for me and 7 friends, anyone have any insight/past experiences to buying this many tickets at once? Is it even possible. Def don't want 8 nosebleed tickets, is 8 GA possible if I am on right at 10am?

Thanks so much in advance.

I know the two shows I will go to have a limit of 4 seats per purchase. You may have to split up the group.

I thought PJs TM limit was 4 too.

As if people's spouses cannot be PJ fans?

But seriously bro, they would cut down on scalpers (who hold what is likely 100s-1000s of accounts) a great deal if they didn't let you leave venue once you had your tickets. i.e., you get into a queue for fan clubbers, you are checked off on a list and go to the ticketing station inside the venue and get your tickets, you must then scan your tickets and enter the venue proper immediately, and leaving voids the tickets.

The problem here is...say a buddy and I want to go to a show together. In the days of old, we could sit on the phone and F5 'til one of us succeeded. Now, we both enter the lottery in hopes that one of us wins. However, if we both do, then we end up eating a pair of tickets that could otherwise be sold (at face) at the venue.

...and honestly - if scalpers do hold 100s-1000s of accounts, figure that x$20 a year - I'm sure 10c doesn't mind the extra revenue.

You do not have to eat a pair in this situation.

The correct move is to post in a forum like this that you have an extra 10c pair at face. You and your buddy each pick up your tix at the arena, sit in the better seats, and sell the other pair to the RMer in need that you have pre-arranged this plan with.

I'm attempting to buy tix for a show that I might not be able to get to in the end. What do people find is easier to get rid of for an out-of-town show: print-at-home or physical tickets? I only ask because I'm always skeptical about buying print-at-home on the secondary market, but it seems like a lot of people do it.

I prefer a physical ticket, but at this point, I think I'm in the minority.

Print at home. They can be transferred via TM's website or changed to physical tickets for a small fee. I would be weary of buying them on stubhub though.

for anyone interested, i sent an email to the ten club yesterday asking about the system they are using, here is the replay i got

Names are drawn first for the option that has more entries. For Lincoln GA was filled first in this case. So when GA names were pulled there were less #1 entires than tickets available, so the system automatically starts pulling #2 and so on until all tickets are sold. We hope that helps explain.

Got my seats for the Detroit show. Section 127.

Uumm.... sounds like they shouldn't even bother with separating GA/RES then.

Got Milw GA. Didn't think I'd win. And wasn't upset if I didn't get them. Sorry to all who didn't.

Waiting... watching the clock..

3 browsers open. 10 minute plus wait on all 3.

Pulled up a couple tickets for St. Paul but they were at the other end of the arena and decided it wasn't worth it. I always feel out of it when im that far away.

Got 2 tickets towards the top of the lower bowl for the St. Louis show.

Work day on sale dates suck.

Agreed.

Has anyone had better luck with actual Ticketmaster windows, old school style?

3x times I've moline tickets and 3x TM has made me start over.

I think this is the point most are missing. I actually tried to see if there was a way to transfer my 10Club account to a friend (for good) but couldn't figure out how to do it. I thought in past was a loophole.

I've tried app, phone, and desktop for moline and finally just saw "high demand, no tickets!" Oh well. St. Paul and Lincoln will be great.
