So Pissed

levolor27

I think the thing that is most frustrating as a long time fan and club member is that not only did I not get MSG tickets even though it said there was a 91% chance but I go in stub hub and there are already tons of over priced tickets listed which to me suggested that this safe ticket doesn’t work.

Maybe a lot of low seniority people were shut out previously and they just didn’t complain since they kind of expected it.  And people
with seniority are now getting the L and voicing their displeasure.  Which is what seems to be happening.  This is the only FA club where seniority ‘matters’ and seems like their are going away from it a little at a time.

False - The Dave Matthews Band Warehouse Fan Club operates by seniority as well.

So does U2's Fan Club, for that matter

U2 legacy is nothing to call home about. As long you are signed up before the tour announcement, you are granted legacy.

MSG odds ended much lower than that. The odds at the time that you entered did not ultimately matter, only the odds when the lottery period ended. Odds for MSG ended up at 9% for GA and 57% for Reseved seats and you only had a chance if NY was your #1 Priority choice. It would have been better off if TM/10C could have followed up once the lottery closed with the final numbers. Seems like it was more of a disservice and caused more confusion to include the odds at time of entry in people’s confirmations. New York is unfortunately one of two states where ticketing laws require that buyers must have the option to receive tickets in hand, which will lead to them being able to be listed on StubHub. 

Best of luck in the Verified Fan and/or public sale. Hopefully you can land some tickets.

Here's the complete info from the Ticketmaster Verified Fan Presale email I just received. Some important points to take note of:

"Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am local venue time at Ticketmaster.com. There is a four (4) ticket limit per access code. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and are not guaranteed.

You will only be allowed to shop for the shows listed above. If you try to shop for a different show, you will get an error message and will not be able to proceed to the Waiting Room.


Important Steps for a Smoother Waiting Room & Purchase Experience

1. Sign in With Your Verified Fan Email and Password
Using a different email and password will result in errors and delays.

2. Join the Waiting Room at Least 10 Minutes Early
This will allow us to provide you a place in line when the sale begins.

3. Only Shop on One Browser/Device
Shopping for the same show from multiple browsers or devices will likely result in an error and make it impossible to get tickets.

4. Make Checkout a Breeze
Review your Stored Billing to confirm your credit card is valid and billing address is up-to-date.


Important Steps for a Smoother Waiting Room & Purchase Experience
Ticketmaster has partnered with Pearl Jam to make sure fans get their tickets at face value. To achieve this, Pearl Jam has directed that tickets be non-transferable.* On the night of the show, all guests will be required to enter with the ticket purchaser. For fans that cannot use the tickets they have purchased, Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster will offer a Fan-to-Fan Face Value Ticket Exchange* beginning February 18. There will be no additional fees charged to Exchange users for buying or selling tickets on the Exchange.

*Does not apply to shows in New York or Colorado.

SafeTix™ Will Be Used For Ticket Delivery For All Shows
All Pearl Jam shows will be powered by Ticketmaster SafeTix. It’s a new kind of ticket that uses a unique barcode that automatically refreshes every few seconds so it cannot be screenshot or counterfeited. No other tickets will be accepted for entry."

Thanks for the clarification about the odds percentage. I didn’t realize that.  Still continues to be frustrating when tour after tour despite being a member of the fan club it’s near impossible to get tickets through the presale. Also the tickets on stubhub are digital tickets according to the listings I saw. 

And to top it off I’m now on the waitlist for the verified fan presale. 

Come on universe!

I think the law mainly has to do with transferability. So there may be digital transfer available for NY and Denver, but none of the other shows. I remember in 2016 that we had the option of paying to have our 10C MSG tix shipped to us beforehand due to NY law instead of being restricted to will call day of show only like previous PJ tours.

I got also shut out for "my shows", NYC and Baltimore. Cannot travel farther out that month.

I believe that more than the system, was the lack of NE shows that made this mess. If there were at least an extra MSG limiting the lottery to winning one night only, and one Boston, most fans would have gotten tickets.

I agree, the lack of Philly and Boston shows made the NYC in super demand, when NYC is an already high demand show.. That and there being only one NYC show.  Was shut out of 10club reserved and verified fan Presale for NYC... Oh well, we'll see how public sale goes tomorrow.

And the fact that Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore is significantly smaller than Madison Square Garden and for that matter, all of the other arenas on this tour - 13,650 capacity for Royal Farms Arena vs. 20,000 for Madison Square Garden - made ticket demand in the Northeast overwhelming.

You'd think people who won the lottery wouldn't get the presale code, and the people who didn't win the lottery would...alas, shutout from the lotto & wait listed. Bummer

I'm pretty sure that's the case, as these are separate entities: 10c lottery vs VF.

Welp, that sucks....fall leg can't get announced fast enough

Didn't get tickets either. I was trying to get Baltimore. Was encouraged initially by all the parameters set. Entered que immediately & sat there with 2000+ ahead of me. Got to 1329 & it stayed there for about 10 min, even though it said it was updating. Finally got into purchasing room & they were gone. SO FRUSTRATED!!!

The worst part about this whole setup is that fan club members got ten Club tickets and they got verified presale tickets while others didn't get either one such horseshit

DL136722

I mean just out of pure fairness, if you were lucky enough to score a ticket through the 10Club you should automatically not be allowed to get tickets to the verified presale Ticketmaster setup, I mean does that really need an explanation? If you think about it they score two tickets through the 10 Club and then you're able to get four tickets today so that means there's some people potentially with six tickets while others have zero

That's not the point and I have a feeling you know what I mean, point being that it seems wrong.
