I guess you just don't get my point then. The chances aren't the same. Some folks can potentially go to multiple shows, while others can be completely shut out. No fairness in that IMO.

no...you dont get my point...there is NO multiple shows anymore..thats im trying to tell you..there is no such thing..you choose 1st priority and if u are are lucky u are in,,no luck??ticketmaster or spare 10c tiux is the way..with the demand out there is impossible to get more than one show and gets your 2nd priority
the days of multiple shows with 10c tix,is ended 1 year ago..

then why do they include that in the ticket guidelines. it clearly states you may be selected for multiple shows.

Stop being logical

I'll be sure to bump this post when the first person scores tickets to multiple shows. I'll eat my words when it doesn't.

lets put an exable..if you put Buffalo number 1 and Philly 1 as number 2 priority

you really believe you will score your first,and then number 2 priority???is there any possible way to be left overs tix from memebrs that hand philly as number 1 priority?so u have a chance?

i doubt it..

njow if you put Buffalo number 1 and Spokane maybe is better to have a chance for both???

maybe..but to those shows at northeast,..seems almost impossible

smak

If PJ thought it was 100% impossible for anybody to get a 2nd show, why would they let people try?

man..you have the chance to do it ..the thing is and what im saying isnt that you cant enter more than one show
im saying that with the high demand of those areas seems impossible.to get morethan one show...thats all im saying..

sorry

it is safe to say that the NY's and Philly's of the world will fill up the pit with 1st choice selections but I'd be willing to bet there are some lucky enough to score two shows through the 10C. I think 10C knows this and that's part of why they include that in the guidelines. The fact that they are doing a GA pit isn't just because it gives more people a chance to get close. It's about money. GA pits are becoming the norm for concerts, they can jam pack way more people into the same space that would normally be filled with rows and seats. The pits are going to be tightly packed!

we are talking basic tol logic,with the demand of previous years

maybe with the new GA system they have double tickts for fan club memebr per show..

wecant be sure..but things showed,like wrigley...that those hot areas th demand i crazy

smak

The way that they are doing the lottery, with GA and reserved being different choices, makes it even more likely that people can get multiple shows.

Sure there will be SOME fans that are lucky enough to win for more than one show.

I think it's bad.

Now we have to guess which to chose to get better seats.

I think everybody thinks GA will go faster. So using reverse psychology, people may chose reserved, but since we all know that as well, we should pick GA.

Yikes.

Argggggggggggggggh

depence the demand,,if they have to all shows,letsd say 1000 ticke and 2000 ask for them at each show as 1st priority,no,noone will score more than one

if they have 1000 tic at every show and there show that the demand of 1st priority is less than 1000 then,yes some will get more than one show

In the end just pick something and friggin' go with it.
I appreciate this thread though- I just reversed my selection for Buffalo, going for seats first for better odds.
Either way I am going to the Buffalo show just like I am going to London but was shut out from all directions at first and thought I wasn't going.
I am sure there will be some die hards that go to EVERY show of the tour.
Where there's a will (and a credit card) there's a way.
C'mon, admit it, you kind of like the tension a little bit don't you?
That annoying, pissed off, adrenaline rush?
All the pre-sale blues go away when the lights go down and the intro music starts...
It will happen. You will be there.

I made my choice in about 5 minutes and I'm sticking with it. I plan on going to five shows- if I get one GA I will be ecstatic.

I don't know what the reasoning behind the reserved and GA being different choices per show.

Just put a box that says "GA tickets ok". When they come to your name in the seniority list, if GA is ok, give them GA if available. If GA is not ok, go to the next best seats.

Making each one a priority just gums up the works, and makes people not get tickets for a show, even though there are tickets available in the other category.

Is there really anybody who would not want the other type of ticket, if the type they chose first isn't available?

dmb does this
really, there should be 3 options. 1. I only want GA, 2. I only want seats, and 3. I will take the best available I don't care which I get. this makes the most sense.

EXACTLY!!!! That is the best way to do it. This current way has more people scratching their heads and unsure about how they should select their shows. You shouldnt have to put thought into this. It really does make it so its unlikely to be selected for more than one show. 2 at the most. For northeast shows that is. But IMO, this way just adds an unnecessary level of confusion and complexity.

I just chose GA as first choice. I'm only going to one show so I figured go for broke and if I don't get picked for GA or Reserved I will get them elsewhere. Any way I look at it I'm going to the show and if my gamble pays off and I get GA then even better! Good luck everybody and don't get so upset because they are trying something new, if it doesn't work they will know better next time.

Not really. I'd rather have the best 100 level seats, over the best reserved floor.

But we have no idea what they consider the best reserved seats to be. If they told me that the first few sections of 100's went first, i'd go reserved. If they said the back of the floor went 1st, i'd go for GA.

Yea, thats another good point that I see as an issue. Not knowing how that would make a difference.
