Shut out once again. Ten Club, I would like an explanation

aidt17

Another curveball to add to this party.  My sister applied, her card info was not accepted, they sent her an email stating that and then said they would re try to charge her card Tuesday, so she went in and updated her card info. I have no screenshots or anything of this

i got shut out of both LA shows reserved seating. My only picks at 1 & 2. I dont get it. Still crushed.

Did you get a confirmation email after entering the lottery? Did you receive rejection emails?

got a conf email and two rejection emails - one for each show.

I think making a selection on seat preferences was a bit confusing . You see odds , but what odds exactly ? No one knew , no guidelines. So BA , GA, or RS seem to have all been a reason why . So again why not just pick the number of total tickets available, and see their preference afterwards ? You grab 10,000 numbers. Since seniority supposedly counts. Put them in order , assign each one their preference. Count best available as floor. They were willing to get floor anyways. Those who specifically said seats will be closer to the stage .

As the title says. I'm a loyal Ten Club member who once again didn't get Ten Club tickets to any shows (specifically in my town Toronto). I would like someone from the Ten Club to explain how this happened when other ppl got all four shows (and will probably get even more US dates) with a third choice Toronto pick. And it appears I'm not the only one. I'm sorry but this is ridiculous and needs be addressed! Thank you.

To the good ppl in the Ten Club. If anyone by chance got two extra tickets for Toronto and/or Hamilton, I will be happy to take them off your hands. Thanks!

It’s absolute shit. 24 years paying into the club and shut out this year. Fuck all....

My thought on how it worked...could be wrong:

If you selected BA as 1st choice.  

They draw your name and GA is not full....you get that.
They draw your name and GA is full...your name gets put aside for 2nd round of Res drawing.  They pull names of all 1st choice Res until it’s full or all people who had that as 1st choice have tix.
If after 1st pull for Res seats were still available they start pulling all 2nd choice Res, including BA that didn’t get GA.  So odds are now way less than 99% in this scenario.

So....if you had 4 shows all BA, the chances of getting tix for the 4th show would be pretty slim.

Thats how I thought it worked at least.

Seems fair....if you select BA and I select Res, I should have better odds at Res seats than you.

Disagree completely. If GA is already gone, we should have the same chance.

Based on my experience you may be right but calling it “best available” and then shelving a person who is chosen until all reserved choice 1’s are gone is pretty much not giving the “best available” at all, lol.  Should have called it “GA or wait this the fuck out until we fill all the RES requests you poor bastard.”

What’s the logic in that? By saying I’ll take whatever (BA) I get passed for someone who specifically only wants reserved? Doesn’t make sense to me

I’m pretty sure BA is the same as 1st choice GA, 2nd choice Res.  Haven’t seen anything to tell me this is wrong.

So your 2nd choice should be equal to my 1st....I disagree.

It's not a second choice. We each made one choice. I said "I'll take from anywhere in the pool." You said "I'll only take from 75% of the pool."

You have no idea because the BAs who were selected for any given show don't know if they have GA or Res yet

RatherStarved

I don’t have an opinion on what is fair, but I think the theory that BA people who struck out in GA were then behind people who selected reserved only is a plausible explanation for seemingly impossible results like someone getting a third reserved over someone who had the show as a second BA.  Are there examples of that experience out there? Did anyone who specifically and only checked reserved, not BA, for any of the 99% shows not get it?  

bendhair23

Definitely not a “fair” process. When the odds are 99% for reserved tickets for most shows, and there are this many upset 10c members, it’s obvious they (Ticketmaster and 10c) messed up. What a shame.

Im just going by how past lotteries worked.  Granted there was no BA, but it is essentially the same as GA 1st choice, Res 2nd choice

From what I understood the 99% was for those who selected that as their 1st choice.  Not for someone who selected BA or GA then Res.

Kevinman

One thing is sure....it should have been explained better I guess.  I just went by how it worked in the past combined with a few new things.
