    Why are so many folks assuming it must be “user error” with all the issues that have happened? How difficult was this that it must be the person’s fault? All you had to do was pick shows!  
    Because almost all of the issues have been explained as user error.

    People that didn't have matching info with Ticketmaster
    People that didn't realize they had to arrange the order after selecting their picks
    People that didn't understand the difference between selecting GA vs BA

    The only legit error I have seen is the incorrect denial emails.
    I’ve seen lots of instances of people who had both BA first and second choice lose out to folks who had GA or BA or RES as a third or lower pick.  They usually won their first pick but not their second.  Don’t think user error is involved in any of them
    People claiming that or people showing a screenshot of the email that actually shows the entry?

    The user error is that that never actually happened.  They probably never ordered their choices.  No one is getting tickets with 3rd picks over someone with the same first pick.  Period.  They may THINK they are because they can't follow directions.

    Yeah I get that, but TM told me
    on the phone that the mismatching info was BS and “paranoia.” That they could figure that out and folks wouldn’t lose a lottery due to that.  Have people been saying they got emails that they weren’t accepted due to something like that?
    I think the big mismatch issue is if one didn't correctly enter their 10c email address into the "10c email address" box on the form. Maybe that shouldn't be a disqualifier, but it seems an understandable cross-reference (i.e., insuring the presale code matches the 10c account). Obviously impossible to say how often that happened, but I'm sure the occurrence rate is >0.

    I guess I’ll pay 500 for official platinum Ticketmaster tickets to Baltimore- oh well, it’s just $$$😔

    I don't even think that will be an option.  This fan to fan resale will be extremely interesting.  Not being able to adjust pricing is going to make this a curious situation.

    Did you have Baltimore as priority 1, Buck? Not trying to pick at a fresh wound, but I'm curious. Some people here were saying that priority 1 would be a lock for Baltimore; I was skeptical of that. 

    EDIT: That priority 1 best available would be a lock.

    I’d be willing to bet, 10C had to concede to TM in some fashion.....

    Well if it happens to me (I haven’t heard yet on my second pick (oak 2 BA), I’m an example of it happening.  Want a screenshot?

    Is Oakland 2 a show people were getting with 3rd priority and beyond?

    I certainly think that people can get BA for lower demand shows with their 2nd pick.  In that case, anyone who (thought) they had it as their first pick and didn't get it had a user error.

    You keep repeating this but have no clue if this is true or not.

    Any theories on the "haven't heard" issue? I know there were several reports, especially with the 2-show cities.

    Had priority 1 for Baltimore reserved and lost. I was nervous from the beginning.

    I’d like to see how they take the priority into account. If they did there’s no reason people get shut out completely, and then others score both Baltimore and NYC.

    No one scored both Baltimore and NYC with 1 account.

    Thanks, eRock. I don't believe anyone who says they got both Baltimore and MSG (with a single 10c account).

    That makes sense. I imagine it was a relief when they discovered that issue. Sounds like that doesn't explain your situation, RoleModels?

    I am nervous. Phoenix reserved was first and only choice. Planning a trip to Arizona from FL based around this concert. The 99% seemed like a done deal but now, who the eff knows.

    It's small consolation, but the bulk of evidence suggests that if you did everything right, you'll get tickets. Of course, that just changes the locus of stress: instead of worrying whether we get lucky, we're all now sweating whether we fucked something up.
