1st choice 8/18 Chicago GA LOST
2nd Choice 8/18 Chicago Reserved WON
Very happy! Someday I'll get GA for one of the big shows! I'd be in the back of GA anyway so this isn't too big a difference!
Has anybody just put in for ONE show and LOST both GA and reserved for that show? Just curious.ABQ 93, Las Cruces 95, ABQ 98, Bridge School 10/30/99, Lubbock 00, ABQ 00, Denver 03, State College 03, San Diego 03, Vegas 03, PHX 03, D.C. 03, Camden 7/5/03, NYC 7/8/03 + 7/9/03, Vegas 06, San Francisco 7/15/06 + 7/16/06 + 7/18/06, Kansas City 10, [EV:ABQ 11/6/12], Chicago 13, PHX 13, Denver 14--PJ24!, Telluride 16, Chicago 8/20/16, Chicago 8/18/18, Phoenix 22, Denver 22, Vegas 5/16/24

No all reserved seats have go into the second round with Fenway and 3rd round everywhere else. It would be impossible to put in for 1 show and miss it.High Fidelity 2000 said:I got the notice at 5:30 PST yesterday...

You went GA or Bust and got bust... how does this surprise people? You could have put 2nd or 3rd or 4th choices for Reserved for the Chicagos but didn't. I have zero sympathy when people don't get drawn and they're not good enough for Reserved as a backup. I mean come on.Jvfireman416 said:east_ia_pj_fan said:

Don’t get discouraged. You may end up paying a little more but just buy tickets online. Try Ticketmaster or shop around. I’m going to both shows in Seattle and didn’t put in for the 10c tickets. Only trying for Missoula and Chicago via 10c. I’ll find a way in to the Seattle shows. Might pay for it but I won’t miss it!dmbowers98 said:
I cannot believe I seriously lost every single one... I don't even know what to do now... I didn't enter for the ticketmaster verified presale (Because I figured there was no way I could lose all 3), and probably wont be able to get anything now. Correct?east_ia_pj_fan said:

There was literally no chance of not at least getting reserved at Wrigley #2. I get rolling the dice on GA at #1, but I don't get not using reserved as backup.High Fidelity 2000 said:

Reserved went to the 3rd round so anyone put it as a first or second got it. This only applies to if you wanted 1 show only.High Fidelity 2000 said:

Has anybody just put in for ONE show and LOST both GA and reserved for that show? Just curious.0 -
This is why I did not do reserved this time and put in for GA only in Chicago -I wonder if I am going to do better than aisle 109 (2013) and aisle 115 (2016) in the tm verified sale? My 10C reserves are getting progressively farther away and more expensive. But my 10C # stays the same....466XXX. - with all that said - ISO 2 night two Wrigley GA tickets.0

Makes no difference to me. We both have memberships, have for years. That give us the right to buy tickets however we want and bring whoever we want. Everything's legal, nothing to see here.JH6056 said:

My wife and I both have memberships too. We have for years before we had even met. I make her keep hers current even though she doesn't go to the shows too much any more (last one we saw together was Denver 2014 when I lost GA & Reserved and thankfully she won!). You can't have more than one membership per person but if the member is there to get/use the tickets then you're right... nothing to see here. I can't believe people would give you a hard time.faithful2you said:

Unfortunately backlash on anything posted online is the norm; no different in PJ groups and a lot times it's worse. We attend shows (not just PJ) with a lot of friends regularly. I wouldn't work the system to get tickets if we didn't have people lined up to go with us.....and get stuck with a $250-$1000 bill for tickets I don't know if I'll use.High Fidelity 2000 said:

not as much this year as people were worried about dumping tickets. In the past people use multiple accounts to up odds of getting tickets knowing that they could unload multiples to people who lost. Some even as far as getting tickets to shows that they had no interest in for the purpose of trading up in others.Vedd Hedd said:

Based on how many actually did get GA for Seattle, anyone have any theories on the total # of spots they'll have filled on the floor? I am too old and feeble to fight through GA anymore, so we went with reserved, but now I'm worried we'll be waaaayyyy far back in the field based on how many Pit spots seemed to be available!
