My goodness what a shitshow;

Glad St Louis people got some clarification.

Yeah, I think a lot of us will rest easier tonight. That was a bunch of unnecessary stress.

Hundreds of thousands?

Might be in some Cities that they didn't sell every ticket because of not enough 10C members tried for them?( West Coast shows?)

You would think that if they didn't have enough members try for the tickets, then they wouldn't be sending out emails telling people that they got rejected for tickets.  Happened a lot for LA and Oakland.  Maybe you are thinking of the Canada shows.

Just got MSG 1st priority BA.  email time stamp 5:05pm.  There’s still hope people!

Holy shit! Me too... 3:02 MST. Put in for it 1st choice, BA thinking there was NO WAY I’d win but my thought was I would try since I’ve never been to a show there, my niece now lives there and it’s been my dream for years to see a show at MSG. Just looked and got confirmation!!!

Yay!!  I get to see you again!

Me too...So awesome! I’m going to bring my friend who was with me when I first saw them in 92’ in a small club called The Edge in Orlando. They don’t even have a setlist for that show for some reason. Then we went to Lollapalooza later that year. She grew up in NY and hasn’t seen them since 1996, I think. Can’t wait!! 😊

There is a lot of frustration out there tonight, but there is still the verified fan sale and the fan to fan sale. As long as I have been following things on here, everybody who ever wanted to get into a show got in eventually. And on top of that there's new music coming up! Good luck to all who still need tickets. You will get them somehow. And if not, there is also still the promise of a fall tour. Hang in there, folks

Nope.

I've been in TC since 94. 86xxx. Over the years I've been very fortunate with the TC ticketing. Got my #1 Baltimore Reserved. Didn't get my 2nd MSG Reserved or 3rd Nashville reserved.  Stunned I got shut out of Nashville when looking at the 99 percent odds.  Especially after saying they've reserved more tix than ever.  I was at MSG in 03 when they said there were more TC people in the venue than ever before.  What an amazing show that was.

Dump the odds. Send all win/loss emails at the same time (even if it would be Sunday in this example). Best solution.

Fix the odds. It was not a broken system when 10Club had it. Also bring back GA/RES being two different priorities for one city. Many problems solved right there. 

I like best available assuming it’s done correctly. 

TM doesn’t know how to do the odds, clearly. Nor do they care. Dump the odds if they are keeping TM. 

I’m also pro dump the odds since it drives everyone batshit crazy and encourages strategizing. Same with prioritizing GA over RES, and the staggering of email notifications.

Anything to help everyone keep their damn marbles.

Now this is my opinion but that BA button hurts a lot of peoples chances at just getting RES. Before you could put RES as your first pick and almost guarantee a ticket even at MSG. So many people would put GA up first and you would beat them to the punch of their second pick RES. Now everyone is just lumped together and you do not get penalized for being greedy with GA. Also people that do not want GA have no clue how the BA works and thinks it betters their odds at tickets over just RES which it should not they way they are picking your name out. 

Agreed. We were always partial to reserved seats but had to go BA this time just to make sure we had the best odds to get in the building. 

So did I F myself by going Reserved as my ticket option?

Shut out for both NE shows. Oh well. Guess it’s Ticketmaster hell for me next week

No. You got your #1 pick. Unlikely any GA Tix made it past #1 anyways.

#1 NYC Reserved - Rejected
#2 St. Louis Reserved - Rejected
#3 Nashville Reserved - Rejected
Member # 436xxx - not the greatest and not the ultimate decisive factor anyway, but still disappointed.  Never been a GA fan as my ticket buddy is on the short side and always prefers reserved, thought that would work to our advantage actually.
Need to find a way to see the best band in the world in at least one of those places, hopefully NY.  Hoping for luck in Fan Presale.  Good luck to all who had the same disappointment today and hope we get as many true fans into these buildings as possible !

Do that but maybe add a third priority then for the tenured seats. Might as well treat fair with fair?

It’s crazy that these 99% odds shows didn’t make it to Priority 2 or 3. The odds were clearly way off. Maybe they just were for your first pick.

Ticketmaster definitely screwed up. Can anyone explain how one missed out on tickets even though there was a 99% chance of receiving reserved tickets?

The reserved odds were obviously wrong. They did drop for NYC and Baltimore, so in some ways they updated them, but no way they were 99 percent for the rest. Especially when people with even No. 1 priorities have been turned down. User error could be a factor in some of those high priorities, but still odd.

Has there been many No. 3 priority and below get tickets, especially lower than 3? I have a 3 and 4 coming up tomorrow, and while neither seem to be the hottest markets, especially OKC, I'm kind of interested to see if it turns out positively.

Hundreds of thousands?

You beat me to it.

Hundreds of thousands putting in for each show is ludicrous.

I just talked to a friend. She put in for 5 shows reserved only and got all 5 (Toronto, Hamilton, Baltimore, Oakland 1&2)

Several thousand?
can we agree that the total demand for all shows always exceed the supply?

I have the same scenario of “you scored” midday the! “unable to fulfill” at 8:14 for Nashville.  Should assume I am good just like STL?  Update...looks like all good...same issue as STL. 

Tiz10

1.) New York - MSG (No need to prioritize as this is the only show I put in for)

2.) Reserved seats as my choice

3.)  I got tickets!

4.) Member Number - 308104

Pearl Jam.....at the Garden?!?!  I almost can't believe it, PJ is known for epic shows at the Garden & i'm hoping to experience one myself.

Now we speculate about posters and artists, anticipate Wishlist pre-parties and meet up with old and new PJ fans.

I'm always interested in some Food recommendations from some of the city dwellers here or those that frequent the city often, Especially around the Hell's Kitchen area in particular as that is close to where i'm staying. Thanks in advance

Ugh I’m not assuming anything. I sent an email, but going to be a crap night of sleep now. Talk about a swing of emotions.

Put in for GA at MSG, the only show I applied for... denied. So, for the Verified Fan presale, are we all preverified, or did I miss doing something already?

iwasatpj20

I also put in for Phoenix, find out tomorrow if I get this one or not.

amethgr8

A pool of GA and BA. They pick one name, GA confirmed. pick name #2 BA assigned to GA, pick name #3 another name confirmed GA.  As the pool of names decreases, if your name has not been drawn, your odds get better. At the end of the GA tickets, there are still names left in the pool that did not get picked.

i think BA is assigned to GA at the point the members name is drawn.

You needed to sign up for Verified Fan before the the ticket drawing started.
