I got GA tickets but...

Is this rare? If so, then I am shocked at how many people got denied completely. I figured this was the type of show where everyone who put in for tickets would get them regardless where they sit. I figured there would be 10,000-20,000 10c members at this show. Or was there over 50,000 people who put in for the lottery? I find that hard to believe since there is approx 100,000 10c members.

I will say this though. While I am happy I got these GA tickets (since I went to the MIA festival and got a completely new experience)....I don't like how I am being forced to attend the show because my credit card is now charged with no refunds. The buyer, or "winner", should at least have the right to claim the prize. In the state lotteries, the person with the winning ticket has to show it, they aren't just mailed a check.

The only choice I had was GA or bust...didn't put LL or UL in my selection.

    This was all very clearly stated in the rules & eligibility of the concert when you clicked on your preferred section choices.

    you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...

    Omg, are you seriously complaining that you won GA tickets? You weren't "forced" to enter the lottery for them if you didn't want the tickets. The porch is on fire today...

    You guys are all reading this wrong.

    In no way am I complaining I got GA tickets. In no way am I saying I did not read the rules and understood this when I put in my selections. Just a statement of how I understand the other side of the coin when it comes to the frustration from other fans.

    Jeez.

    So if that's the case.. what's your point? That you didn't read what they clearly stated?

    For your sake- delete this thread. Everyone, including myself, is going to "read this wrong". And I didn't even try to get Wrigley tix.

    The point is that I do not agree with the way things are being run. I guess it's the same as the other thousand threads, but I'm trying to show how even someone who won thinks the system is flawed.
