99% is 100%. They just can't put that there for obvious reasonsSpinTheLastExit said:
At the risk of being pedantic, that 1% are not going to get tickets.JR86440 said:
Correct. Seniority doesn't matter, nor should it for the lottery. However, with 99% odds, you should receive tickets. I checked odds just before pre sale ended and all 99% except for NY and BaltimoreVedd Hedd said:
Are there seriously people who are saying "I have seniority, I should have better access to tickets than you!"SpinTheLastExit said:
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?Vedd Hedd said:
Who is harping on about it, and why does that matter?SpinTheLastExit said:
None. I just want people to stop harping on about "seniority", that's all.Vedd Hedd said:
And we both have the same shot at tickets. What is the problem here?SpinTheLastExit said:
This isn't a pension pot.Vedd Hedd said:
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?SpinTheLastExit said:
It also makes no sense that we have to get personal about it, so quit the arrogance.Ground_on_Down said:
Yes, because it makes no sense. That or you don't have any, which then I could see it would be irritating.SpinTheLastExit said:
I actually have to explain that?Ground_on_Down said:
Why is that? Explain.SpinTheLastExit said:I'm sick of seeing the word "seniority".
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".
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.Surely at some point 99% has to truly mean 99% no? Just before it hits 98%? I'm not trying to split hairs here, but it can't jump from 100% (masquerading as 99%) down to 98%......can it?

Yes, at some point 99% briefly does truly become 99%. So for every show it is possible that there is a 1%.jdizzle8291 said:JR86440 said:

How do people know they are shut out if the announcement window hasn't ended yet?0

Gonzo...my man....at some point we need to acknowledge that your issue with this ticketing has not been experienced by any of the thousands (?) of fans that have gone through this process over the first day and a half that the lottery has been chugging along. At worst, the system had a glitch that happened to occur to you (we are nearly all sympathetic)....at best (for the rest of the ticket lottery population) you mis-keyed something...this still sucks serious ass because any of us could be guilty of that. But it is better than the random hand of digital doom descending upon random, unsuspecting 10C members.Gonzo1977 said:
Guess I'm in the 1% then because I know there wasn't a mistake. Whatever, I'll get there.Abe Froman said:
Thanks for responding. If you didn’t make a mistake in the process you are only 1 of 2 people that has happened toGonzo1977 said:
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.Abe Froman said:
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?Gonzo1977 said: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.
Please accept our hearfelt (and I mean it) 10C family "sorry for your loss"...it sucks....a lot....we would not want it to happen to us. Now can some admin shut this down....Hey McGruff disparage me in some horribly inappropriate way so this thing is put out of its' misery.0 -

Yes happened to me as well, shut out on 1st priority. Got 2nd priority however but considering I’m staying 10 min from Hamilton arena not impressed I missed that one.
Definitely not a fool proof system obviously but what can you do, I’ll try my luck on public sale I guess.0 -
Right. But that one dude got shut out of all 4 shows. No way that happens with 99% odds. One show, yes, but if all say 99%....jdizzle8291 said:JR86440 said:

Agreed with this. It sucks. If this person TRULY didn't mess up on anything (different emails between 10C and TM, bad credit card info, not enough on CC, whatever else)....then they SHOULD ask the 10C what happened.huntersthompson said:

I mean, its not like this person was asking for MSG GA and wondering why they dont have tickets. But yeah, its sounds like this is one of two total cases where someone got shut out, and in neither case could we confirm it was not user error.Turn this anger into

They should follow the Metallica method they used for their fan club tickets. Hell, I signed up a few days before their tickets went on sale and was sent a code and info when the window for selecting tickets was open. A few clicks later and I had 2 tickets in the pitt! Pearl Jam should try playing in the round. Give every fan a chance to feel closer to the show.0
