  • In past years, if someone selected a specific show seat/type as their 2nd priority and won then EVERYONE who selected it as their 1st priority is guaranteed to also win (i.e. if I selected Toronto Res as my 2nd choice and won then everyone who selected it as their first choice should have won).  Is that not the case here?  If not, what has changed??

    Did everyone get a $1 charge for TicketsToday as a pending charge on their credit card?  I'm wondering if that is the test to see if the card is valid.
    I did 3 requests each for both US and Canada and never got the $1 charge

    Are the confirmations coming in in the order they list the cities for the specific day or random?

    I don’t know but my guess those odds are based off your 1st selection.
    i’m thinking this also 
    and if that’s correct that would have been nice to know

    so they say they draw from priority one and if there are tickets left they go to priority 2.  they don't say how many they draw at a time.  maybe they pull 50, 100 or 200 at a time.  so if they draw 100 out the 1st priority only, and your name was not drawn, they move onto the 2nd priority, or they add the 2nd priority picks with the 1st priority and so on.  that would explain how someone is getting the 5th & 6th drawn and 1st and 2nd can be past over, just throwing it out there, guessing...
    No way this is what's happening
    something is happening that is not jiving with what the majority of people believe and no explanations other than user error for people getting 5th & 6th over 1st & 2nd BA.
    Interpretation, perspective can be everything.  The lottery information states:  "During the drawing, we will randomly draw members who have made that show their #1 priority. If any..."  
    It doesn't say "to begin the drawing we will collect all priority one show requests..."  if they used this language, it would be crystal clear right.
    It's a lottery, no explanation can be had except it is a chance to win, nothing more, nothing less.  How does everyone have the same chance, with priority being drawn in order.  In theory, no one could every get their 5th-8th-10th choice.
    I'm open

    Not quite. Yesterday they had the shows in chronological order but drew ass backwards. Today seemed to be somewhat in order except some people made it seem like Oak2 drew before Oak1 but they may have just been a poor interpretation on my part.

    I got Oak 1 Best available with my 4th spot. A friend was denied Oak 1 Best Available in their 2nd spot.

    Clearly, something didnt go according to plan with Tickets Today :/
    Did your friend get the rejection email?
    In fact, she hasnt yet. I got all my rejections.

    woke up to 4 emails unsuccessful Toronto/Ottawa/Quebec/Hamilton GA's, despite getting email with odds of 59/99/99/81 percent. disappointed is understatement. Signed up for Phoenix/San Diego/LA/Oakland, trying to remain hopeful, but dreading thought of going 0-8. If anyone needs a +1 for the Canadian shows let me know !

    GA or Best Available? From what I've seen, the final odds for GA only for the Canada shows were 32/56/75/40.
    i messed up thinking that earlier I committed to tickets the higher the odds (not realizing that number kept getting lower until close time). Still though, doesn't make mathematical sense with 32/56/75/40 that I'd go 0-4....I only signed up for GA.....now I'm pretty much out of luck for any tickets, without going on secondary ticket market


    It makes a lot of sense you could go 0 for 4.

    you had a 32% chance at Toronto as your first priority, your odds for each successive show are lower than the posted odds as they were 2nd, 3rd & 4th priority (I'd venture your odds for QC and definitely Hamilton were about zero.) and they get filled first with folks who chose those cities as higher priority.

    Not quite, would have had better than 32% at the first pick (since the 32% includes all priorities). How much better, who knows. And odds on the second pick would been probably worse than 56%, again by how much who knows. 3th and 4th GA I'm certain are 0% everywhere.
    I think if you pick GA only it has to be the 1st Priority.  I haven't seen anyone who picked GA only lower than 1st priority get tickets (could be wrong though).  Curious to see if anyone gets GA who picked BA with a priority 2 or lower.  The new system is a bit confusing but I need to figure it out for the fall tour (assuming there is one)
    i might have missed some posts but i believe i’ve read them all and i also did not see one person get GA if it was not #1
    even quebec that was about 79% i didn’t see a priority 2 get GA

    Yikes
  • Just got the rejection email for Denver. It was only priority 3, so not too surprised. However, the odds were 99%. Now I'm really doubting my chances for #1 (Baltimore) and the crapshoot #2 (NYC). 

    I'm confused because I got shut-out of priority 3 for Denver and I see others on the board claiming they won with priority 5 or 6. Correct me if I'm wrong.  

    Granted, I picked "reserved seats" because my cousin in Colorado has medical conditions and couldn't do GA. Is the general consensus that BA has a superlative precedence to reserved seats? (All that said, I picked BA for the other two, so here's to hoping for them!)

    With all these wonky results... I think we know why they didn't start with MSG and Balt... People would be losing their Shit.. Sucks that people are losing ( Like me with only two shows) while others are 4/4 .. I hope TM set aside tickets to make people Fed over whole...

    It’s extremely shitty that priority mechinics and odds listings appear to be majorly different than they have always been and no one from 10c said anything.

    Really feel for people who got rejected with a 1/2 priority while others hit the exact same show at 3/4/5. That’s not right.

    At this point, hoping someone addresses what’s going on at some point. Even if nothing is technically “broken” at least explain to us what we should expect, since the priority system seems to not be functioning as we’ve known it to in the past.

    If there is one thing we can expect, it’s little to no communication about problems.

  • I was feeling good about all my selections until seeing some of this. I put Denver No. 1 because it's my home show, and got it, and have Nashville No. 2. Thought about moving Nashville to 1 because I figured Denver would have better odds but didn't because I didn't want to miss out on my hometown show if something goofy happened. Now thinking Nashville might be a long shot and glad I didn't move Denver. I also did Phoenix and OKC. Reserved for all. The odds for reserved at the very least seem unreliable.

    I think they are reliable, most people are getting them, just some reported anomalies

  • No confirms yet for Denver BA, LA1 BA, and LA2 BA. They were priority 2, 3, and 4. 

    No rejection emails yet but assuming they’re coming.


    edit: just as I posted this I got rejected for all three shows. 
    Are you saying that you got a rejection email for all of those shows? Or just that you haven't received an email yet?
