I had the great misfortune of being buried in the 4th and last time slot, so by the time it was time for my draw it was considered all sold out, so they never sent me a code, even though there was a single ticket in the section I wanted and if they had sent my code I could have still purchased it. It just seems pretty ####ed up

    This whole event seems to just be making you angry, which I thought would be the opposite of how you should feel about it. Suggestion: relax. Just find a 10C member with a spare ticket. Should be pretty easy (unless you keep hate-posting about not getting tickets... It's not exactly endearing to potential ticket buddies).

    I'm sorry you missed out, but ticketmaster is not at fault here.

    I think that you should start another few threads on this subject -- gotta believe very few people here have read about your perceived personal slight from Ticketmaster after you bypassed the best way for 10C members to try and get tickets. 

    Seriously, why so many threads?  We get that you are angry.  You will find a ticket....please try and relax and follow some of the good advice above.

    BBH,
     
    No one wants that no matter how much "fun and swagger" you might say that you bring to the party. 

    No offense, but you kinda dropped the ball here. I agree with FMe that you could have tried the 10c lottery. You opted not. I don't know when you entered VF. If you entered that at the last minute (I don't know that you did) but that could be why they ran out of ticket codes. Who knows, but they did. 

    Thus far, you have gotten 1 of 2 tickets you need. Patience is what I have been suggesting for the rest in need and I suggest that to you.

    It'll work out but...patience. :peace:

    Unrelated, but I bought my daughter Ed Sheeran tickets for her birthday.  One ticket was $116.50.  I bought 4.  My total fees on the transaction for 4 tickets was $122.  So yeah, fuck ticketmaster!

    I didn't have the money at the time to pay for 2 extra tickets (since I only wanted singles for each show), and there wasn't much heads up for the Seattle shows, like 3 weeks (forgive me for not being rich enough to afford $500+ with very little heads up, and thanks for the great moral support, real fucking encouraging

    This is the first complaint I've seen that the 3 weeks lead time "wasn't much heads up".
    Everybody complaint was about it being too much time.
    But now you have almost 6 months to find those singles you need and we all know you'll  find them.

    Good luck

    we get it your upset... you vented the entire week enough for everyone to know how frustrated you are... it's still months away, you weren't the only ones shut out, but realize this though, other individuals looking to sell their +1 might just sell it to other people rather than to you, because of the posts you've been making... just saying...

    I've seen people get shut out on Fenway in 2016 and still managed to find ways to get a ticket... the difference though, there was no forum rage...

    no, I just have issues with the way it was handled, I will know better in the future that the verified Fan Sale's that if I don't get in the first 2 time slot, I probably won't get any, I was naive, which is my fault

    10c lottery was the best way to get tickets this time around and people with extra 10c singles will be the best option for decent seats in August.

    In years past, I believe the lottery would open the day after the announcement.

    This time around, there were 2 or 3 weeks in between the announcement and opening of the lottery entry period, and it STILL wasn't enough time?


    This band can't do anything right.

    It's amazing they've lasted as long as they have.

    I've not been around the boards a ton, but I feel like every time they tour, the fans find something that is "horrible" to bitch about. Wasn't there drama a couple of years ago because fans found out they didn't get 10c tickets the day of the public sale? Was that TOTD?

    This, and the Seattle shows were an all-but-confirmed rumor much farther out than just three weeks. This time around there was solid intel to be had not only about where they were going to play but when.

    So, you couldn't afford 4, but you could afford 2. Why not just buy for one show? Figure out the second show later?

    Sucks that TM "screwed" you. People have offered advice and encouragement, and you've responded with anger.
