    If anyone is still keeping track and/or cares, I updated my last name this morning and landed both LA shows.  Seems like this has been debunked but just in case anyone is still worried about that drama from this morning.

    Lessons learned from the new system:

    1. Go back to all seats
    2. Ditch the odds
    3. Close the forums until all tickets have been distributed and seat locations revealed

    It's the only way this will work. We've been given choice and information and it just short circuits everyone. 
    Are you not entertained?
    Oh this thread is great entertainment....Loads of people that can't read good, poorly filled out profiles, procedural errors, and piles and piles of butthurt. I for one hope this goes on through Sunday.

    I'm sick of seeing the word "seniority".
    Why is that? Explain.
    I actually have to explain that?
    Yes, because it makes no sense.  That or you don't have any, which then I could see it would be irritating.
    It also makes no sense that we have to get personal about it, so quit the arrogance.

    Seniority is stupid because it's fundamentally irrelevant. People saying "I have this number" and boasting some sort of entitlement over other fans is pathetic. I pay the same amount of money as you, so we both should have equal opportunity in getting tickets.

    So THERE, that's why I hate the constant spitting of "seniority".
    I have seniority over you.   Over the years, I have paid way more than you.    But regardless, we still have the same shot at tickets.   Neat, huh?
    This isn't a pension pot.
    And we both have the same shot at tickets.  What is the problem here?
    None. I just want people to stop harping on about "seniority", that's all.
    Who is harping on about it, and why does that matter? 

    The only time seniority comes into play, is IF you get tickets and IF you get reserved seats.   Then the tickets are distributed by senority first.   There really isnt too much to brag about, otherwise.  
    Exactly, you're proving my point. I'm just saying people keep talking about how long they've been in the fan club and essentially saying they should get preferential treatment. Not just here, but people quoting their fan club numbers. Who cares?
    Are there seriously people who are saying "I have seniority, I should have better access to tickets than you!"


    Where have you been?
    I missed the first offender.....

    Yes,  you and I have no issues.  :)  I had responded to the wrong post at one point.

    I'm worried that when I lose Baltimore on Sunday I will lose my mind as well. If you see me on here ranting about seniority and how I deserved to win, please send help.

     All I'm saying...Never had an issue getting tickets until THIS tour.
    Maybe I've been lucky for 25 years...I don't fucking know.

    Regardless, still a bit strange to get shut out of 1 Canadian show when others are getting confirmed for all 4 Canadian shows.

    Anyways, looking forward to the new album.
    Enjoy your shows..I'm sure I'll eventually get my tickets through Ticketmaster and all will be good.

    If not, I'll catch them on the next album tour ...7 years from now... when a whole new ticketing system is in place.

    Without going back over 25 pages of posts....What were your picks and priorities?

    Also, I have gotten shut out multiple times prior to this tour.

    Good luck and I hope you secure tickets. Still curious though...what did you submit for?  GA?  And do you think older 10c numbers should get priority over newer members? 
  • RS65573RS65573 Posts: 2,465
    I think you have been lucky since 2013 if you got everything. I've been shut out more than i've won since then. But likely because I go for so many in populated areas.

    Pretty much where we were 6 pages ago. One or two people pissed off they fucked up their entries and now feel 10c owes them something

    Submitted for Toronto & Hamilton - both for Best Available. Odds showed 99% chance. I know it's not a popular opinion on here...but yeah seniority should  give you a leg up on newer members ; especially if newer members are getting confirmed for 4 Canadian shows when I can't even get confirmed for 1 home town show. Makes zero sense to me.

    If you really put in for best available for both of those shows, you likely messed up something in the process (or you would have gotten tickets). So, for all you're complaining, the fault probably lies with you.

    Thanks for responding. If you didn’t make a mistake in the process you are only 1 of 2 people that has happened to

    Nothing compares to when I used to buy candy cigarettes for .10 back in the day.

    We actually just gave our 5 year old those exact ones for Christmas. He's into dressing like a cowboy, so we put these in his stocking to complete his outfit.

    Guess I'm in the 1% then because I know there wasn't a mistake. Whatever, I'll get there.

    As far as seniority getting a leg up...well that’s your opinion. I don’t think a 20 year old that just now discovers PJ and joins shouldn’t have a significantly less chance at tickets just because they are young and just now joining. (And I’ve been a member a long time)
