Did anyone who asked for “reserved” only NOT get tickets?

Hold On

I put “reserved” as my only choice for tickets (not Pit or Best Available) and got tickets for all four shows I asked for (San Diego is still pending as a fifth).  I’m interested in hearing, did anyone who chose “reserved” to a show with 99 percent odds NOT get tickets?

I put in for Denver and NYC, reserved for both, and haven't heard yet. My buddy put in for GA floor for Denver and got denied.  Any reason I haven't heard you think? Since my buddy got denied GA Denver, I'm curious do Ten Club members have a better chance at reserved tickets over GA?

My dad put in for reserved only for Denver, first choice, and didn’t get any email.

Not yet. I would’ve thought if there was an issue with the card that Ticketmaster would’ve emailed him about that.

I put in for Baltimore RES, first priority, still waiting for my email. Fingers and toes crossed.

It might not hurt to contact them to see if he's been charged or not.

"If you are confirmed for a show, but your card is declined for any reason, you will be contacted by Ticketstoday."

I'm not worried about the credit card being an issue - I'm just worried about not getting tickets. Does anyone know if Ten Club members generally have a better shot at reserved tix over GA?

Been a member since the early 90's and still got declined for NYC tickets.  Total BS!!!!   It is New York and it is the first time I've ever been declined.... oh well....  $1000 for 2 balcony seats on ticket selling sites..... Rip Off!!!

Can we stop trying to figure out if certain seating choices got prioritized over others? They didn’t. End of story.

I selected only reserve seats for both LA shows - didnt want pit. Declined for both. First time this has happened for a tour - member for 19 years

Yes . I did reserve seating only with commemorative tickets and got the denial email little bit ago. It does ask the question why pay 10C dues for 20+ yrs and can’t get two tickets to the show closest to you . I get theres a group that have the life and can go to every show. I don’t think it’s crazy though for long time or even new Ten Club members to get a shot at their show in their state / location first. Most people like myself can’t get up and plan a trip 2-3,000 miles away.  

 I mean think about this scenario for one second. You live 3 minutes walking distance to a venue. You can see it from your front porch. You pay dues for 20+ years for basically first crack at tickets. The other stuff is good too don’t get me wrong but concerts are the biggest reason by far. Now how do you feel if YOUR band, the band that’s been your everything is playing 3 minutes, or about 300 yards from your house or apartment and you can’t even go and see them ? Yet folks from far away are going and it’s their 3rd show this week. That’s an EXTREMELY hard pill to swallow. This is in no way a shot  at those who are going. You should have the right to go as well. I just don’t think the guy in this scenario shouldn’t be in there with you.

Is ticket demand really that high for these shows not at major venues like msg?

Baltimore (I know it was like 57% odds), Nashville, and St. Louis, in that order. Only got Nashville.

Consider yourself fortunate that it took 30 years for you to finally miss out on tickets.

What horseshit you just wrote.

I understand and thought the same at one point.  I am in the Chicago area and cannot always travel over 500 miles, pay hotel, to see a show..I have but not always an option.  the last few times PJ has been in the Chicago area, it has been Wrigley.  I saw them there once and that was enough.  I would go to Allstate arena or Tinley Park but don't need to do Wrigley again.  So closer shows like OH and MI are a better option.  I would think maybe a regional selection but then that is giving priority to residents over non-residents.  Some areas of the country don't have large venues within 100 miles that they play regularly.  It's hard to catch everyone, all the right time in their lives, with the right amount of money and work schedules.  

I think they have to do what we do with the lottery, pick your shows and hope for the best, FWIW.

How long you have been a member isn't a factor.

Getting your name drawn for tickets was random.  The only thing that seniority gets you is better seats in the reserved section AFTER your name is randomly drawn.  Seniority has zero effect on GA tickets.
