If they go this route on the fall leg, they should charge $1.00 more to the Vitalogy Foundation for GA tix, and then people who select BA will know whether or not they won RA or RES when they look at their credit card charge

But doesn't it seem like they don't WANT you to know? Why else would the email not include the information?

I think they just haven't gone thru the seat assignment stage yet.  They had X amount of 10C tickets available.  Let's say 10,000 total seats.  They drew those first.  Notified people that they were going to the show.  Then the next step (after all lotteries are complete) is to assign seats based on 10C seniority.  I'm sure they could have notified those who won GA, since there are no seat assignments, but I think its fine that everyone finds out together. 

I personally put in for best available and I am fine with whatever I get.  We will all know by the end of the month.  7 full weeks before the shows start.  Not sure why it's so urgent for some.

Then why not do it? I understand, you think it's fine; others don't. It appears a conscious choice, though, which raises the question: why?

If you have been notified that you got tickets, why does it matter NOW if its GA or RES?   Make your plans and in 10 days, you will know where your tickets are.  Not sure I understand the drama.  Everyone will find out at the same time.  Seems fair to me.  I already know I am going to Hamilton.  I do not know if I will be in GA or in a seat.  I'll find out in a week and a half.  I knew the rules before I entered.  I am good with it.  

No, you didn't know the rules, because this wasn't in the rules. FFS. 

Yes it was. 

Jesus fucking christ, are we going to have this conversation again? You're wrong. Read this entire thread to see why. 

I read the rules. No need to reread the thread.  .  Have a great day. 

If you read the thread as well as you read the rules, it wouldn't matter anyway.  

Sorry we couldn’t help with your complaint.

With 99% odds there could be over 100 rejections per show assuming 10,000 seats went to the 10c. 

Couldn't be 100 first priority rejections if 3rd priority won (as I luckily did).

Its in the rules, you just have a different interpretation of the term "seat location" than most, including the person who wrote the rules.

Dear lord. I read "seat" based on the way they use "seat" throughout the entire document. 

Adding the word "location" could be the difference.

No, the word "seat" is the key, because the document uses "location" elsewhere (without the word "seat") to differentiate between GA and Reserved.

Once Toronto was done why didn’t the ticket draw for the next show auotomatically start?  Did the computer need a rest?

They have to go through and randomly select a few people to send decline letters so they can sit back and watch this beehive of a thread.

You're digging your heels in on this, but clearly since nobody knows their location yet, you are incorrect. 
Might as well just drop the argument and move on.

Is it just me, or isn’t it ironic that the Tenclub ticket lottery is now in the hands of ticketbastard...

I put in for Hamilton with a “best available”.  Really want GA.   Got my notification that I scored tickets, but no indication of GA or reserved.   There is a material difference in my excitement level of GA versus reserved.   Wonder why they didn’t tell me which I got?

As for verified fan.  Those seats are going to be the nosebleeds, I believe.  Any tickets purchased after 10 club are not going to be better than 10 club seats.  

That's how we'd like it to work but have you seen any evidence that's the case? With other TM shows where they run the fan club portion, it's pretty standard to see fan club tickets spread out through all the sections along with the general sale tix.

No one knows why. Again, we will find out our "seat" location the week of 1/27.

If someone has a high number and they pulled reserved vs GA, they might be more likely to take a crack at Verified Fan.

Also, I think there's some fuss because you found out which you got with your confirmation in every 10C lottery to date. Not that I have any issue with this, but it's a change.

Yeah, I guess change is hard for some.

As for verified fan.  Those seats are going to be the nosebleeds, I believe.  Any tickets purchased after 10 club are not going to be better than 10 club seats.  

Additionally, this isn't Wembley Stadium.  These are arenas.  The worst seat at these shows is better than some of the best RES seats at the stadium shows.  

This was not the case in 2018. My buddy pulled better seats than my 10c seats through VF in both Wrigley and Fenway. He was able to get 4 seats on the field at Wrigley through VF, while I was in the 300s. 

Thats why why not knowing GA/Res is a rough change for some. I would much rather take a shot there if I knew I didn’t win GA for my first choice. If I had known this was going to change I might have selected GA only so I would at least know before the VF sale.

Everyone will find out the week of 1/27.  It's in the rules.  They are only doing the lottery portion right now.  The specific seat assignment will come after.  I'll see you there.  Good luck on the pit.

I'm surprised anyone would only put GA. All in on just getting in the building.

These are two different classes of seat.   They already know what class you are in, just not disclosing.   I get that it takes a bit more time to sort seats out.   You don’t want pairs to be apart.   Dang, now another 10 days of anxiety.  I already knew I’d get tix!

I think there's always a chance general sale will pull better than 10c placement. The person you're quoting was saying that just due to venue size and layout that a "bad" arena seat is still better than a "great" stadium seat.

At this rate I’m guessing Balt and NYC last so they can deal with all the complaint emails.
