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
No one is getting tickets with 3rd picks over someone with the same first pick.
How do you know that? Let's take Phoenix as an example. Say someone had MSG and Baltimore as 1 and 2 and missed out on both, then has Phoenix BA as #3. How can you be sure that this person has NO CHANCE at PHX tickets until EVERYONE who had PHX as 1 and 2 gets tickets?

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.

Because they draw by priority. In other words, the hypothetical person missing out on priority 1 and 2 does not change their PHX priority 3 to PHX priority 1. I personally don't like the system, but that's how they do it.

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?
Any theories on the "haven't heard" issue? I know there were several reports, especially with the 2-show cities.
I think it was a flawed system, and issues came up that they didn’t expect. I know you don’t want to believe that, but things happen and I think there were some problems that happened that weren’t thought out fully before they implemented the lotto.
for instance LA folks, OAK folks and a Nashville folks (although perhaps their Nash email may have gone to spam because I’ve only seen one instance this am) we’re just left to flap in the breeze with no email whatsoever). That’s obviously not how it was intended since their schedule states that they would pull winners based on a show by show basis and then move on. That’s not a huge issue but it’s not minor, and I think that is not how they intended it.
last night’s “error email” is another obvious malfunction. Nothing more needs to be said about this but any system that mistakenly emails out hundreds (?) of false emails obviously has an error, which only can negatively affect ones opinion- it certainly does nothing to make folks feel better about it. Like a witness with a shitty past, it discredits it a bit more.
then there’s the large amount of people who just missed out and got rejected. Not even looking at msg and Baltimore, pretty much every single show had 99% odds. That would mean that out of all the posts in here there would be only a few for each show that didn’t get tickets. Allowing for user error for maybe 20% (and I think that’s very high since it wasn’t that complicated at least to me) we would be having 7 or 8(?) out of 10 people getting tickets, I get it that we have no idea, this whole discussion is theoretical because until we have a bigger sample size to sift through we may never know, (folks of course chose GA, etc,) but we should have seen results like we did on day 1 with Canada’s shows on day 2 as well as today. Day 1 went as I think we all expected it to, almost everyone got what they requested.

We have heard people who put LA1 and LA2 as both BA and lost. Even if they screwed up and entered separately and negated one of the shows, they still should have won or got an email that their cc was declined.
Sorry if this answer is already in the thread. I received confirmation for reserved much later for Nashville than Denver. From your experience, does that mean I expect better seats in Denver? Is the seat quality relative to the time that your number is drawn? Thx

Apologies, my friend. I didn't intend my skepticism to diminish your experience. I completely agree that there have been hiccups, and I hope things still work out for your Oakland show. However, I think there may be discrete issues at play. E.g., the error email was a one-off that seemingly had no meaningful effect (beyond freaking people out). The 2nd LA and 2nd Oakland issue is still a bit of a mystery (to me, at least). I remain unconvinced, though, that there's a large-scale problem with the priority system or the odds, because--as you say--we don't have enough information. I've been following the boards pretty closely and have seen reports of issues since day 1--people were complaining about the exact thing then. Like you, I wish we had more information. On that we completely agree.
Has anyone won three or more shows with one account?
Yes.

This would only work if they did all the shows at once--you'd be privileging people who had higher-priority shows drawn sooner in the process (e.g., someone who had PHX GA 1 and StL GA 2 would not receive the same "fair" chance you describe here).

I should add, that what you're describing is exactly how I feel it should work, but I've learned a) I'm in the minority; and b) 10c has done it this way (show-by-show) for a long time.

Right on, I appreciate that.

If this has been addressed earlier my apologies...here's what I don't understand...there are some 10C members like myself that put in BA for one show (mine was Baltimore) and were rejected. However others were granted all 2, 3 or 4 shows they requested. Example, if a 10C member put in for 3 shows, let's say Nashville, St Louis, and Baltimore in that order and won all 3....you have 10C members like me that put in for one show (Balt) because that's what we can afford....and were rejected, meanwhile some are going to 3 shows. Why not spread the wealth a little instead of giving some members multiple shows; in the example above I think that member would have been totally happy with 2 shows won. Sorry, I just don't get it.
If this has been addressed earlier my apologies...here's what I don't understand...there are some 10C members like myself that put in BA for one show (mine was Baltimore) and were rejected.

Where is that graphic someone made with the odds just before the lottery closing? I have searched and searched but there is so much to wade through now.
If St. Louis closed at 99%, either the odds calculation does not take all entries, regardless of priority, into account anymore (I did not see info on this changing for Ticketmaster, only pointing to the old 10C system), or St. Louis was flawed in Ticketmaster's system. Based on the email issue last night, guessing it was flawed in some way (number of tickets they had available was overstated, or some other issue(s)).
It sounds like several people did not realize they had to prioritize the shows on the screen that listed all of the shows they selected (I believe they were shown chronologically, rather than the order you selected them, and then you had to drag and drop to rearrange). Also putting the odds in the email you receive after making your picks threw people off. But at 99%, second or third or even later priorities should not have been rejected at this rate for St. Louis. I personally got 1 show with first priority and feel grateful for that, but I think that rules out user error for a later priority at 99%.
I do like this new system in theory (the best available option and the ability to resell at face value online).

No one won Baltimore with a priority 3. But, to your larger point, I agree, but the show-by-show method is how 10c does things (for better or worse).
Yeah, I can’t understand how the lottery worked.... my friend put in for several shows that were at 99% and chose reserved seats.... not sure how he missed out on those shows🤔

I believe this is a large source of confusion where people THINK they got GA with their 4th pick. It was in fact their first pick and they didn't realize it.

The StL and Nashville rejection emails were (in many cases) mistakes that were later retracted. Not sure we've had any clear instances of people being shut out of those shows (with reserved or best available selections).

for instance LA folks, OAK folks and a Nashville folks (although perhaps their Nash email may have gone to spam because I’ve only seen one instance this am) we’re just left to flap in the breeze with no email whatsoever). That’s obviously not how it was intended since their schedule states that they would pull winners based on a show by show basis and then move on. That’s not a huge issue but it’s not minor, and I think that is not how they intended it.
last night’s “error email” is another obvious malfunction. Nothing more needs to be said about this but any system that mistakenly emails out hundreds (?) of false emails obviously has an error, which only can negatively affect ones opinion- it certainly does nothing to make folks feel better about it. Like a witness with a shitty past, it discredits it a bit more.
then there’s the large amount of people who just missed out and got rejected. Not even looking at msg and Baltimore, pretty much every single show had 99% odds. That would mean that out of all the posts in here there would be only a few for each show that didn’t get tickets. Allowing for user error for maybe 20% (and I think that’s very high since it wasn’t that complicated at least to me) we would be having 7 or 8(?) out of 10 people getting tickets, I get it that we have no idea, this whole discussion is theoretical because until we have a bigger sample size to sift through we may never know, (folks of course chose GA, etc,) but we should have seen results like we did on day 1 with Canada’s shows on day 2 as well as today. Day 1 went as I think we all expected it to, almost everyone got what they requested.
i won LA2 with my third pick.
