I  got a Text from TM saying i was removed from the waitlsit at 1:32 EST for Phoenix and then removed for LA-1 at 1:40 & LA-2 at 1:42. I have tickets for those shows. MAYBE next time 10 C will have 10 C Draw BEFORE we have to Register for Varified Fan Pre-Sale?

logical thinking, so we know that is unlikley

PS I thought the same thing

Welp, something didnt agree with my phone or I just dont have the patience. Logged in, entered waiting room, got in, entered VF code, chose ticket, sat for 45 min while it loaded, gave up.  Hopefully fan 2 fan resale is easier.
Only trying to get a single for either LA show for a friend.

for everyone about to get into the VF sales on the west coast, I would suggest selecting average tickets when the select screens come up. So many people on the east coast kept selecting tickets that somebody else was in the middle of buying. Select some 5-6 rows back from the best you can see and you may avoid this issue. Good Luck Left coasters!

For anyone accessing LA1, are you still waiting in queue, or are you in right away?

Look at all these wonderful “Verified Fans” just re-selling at massive profit. All the behind stage was VF. Also Pearl Jam is on the front page of Stubhub. 

Behind stage running abt. $700. More than double price from 2016

"cannot complete purchase on this device try another"  - my phone says "you are already in line on another device, please return to that device"........

Sucks. If only you were warned about this, you would have known.

I received the same message and was only using one device. TM sucks ass.

I actually did too, after posting the snark. SORRY PSUS2H. I restarted my browser and got in.

I got in for SF and LA in about 5 to 7 min.  Only uppers left.  TM would not accept any of my credit cards (said I needed to log in, but I obviously was).  Waisted a ton of time and lost a good LA ticket.  Ended up using PayPal.  Then I was blocked and never able to search again.  Other than that it was awesome.

What does the waiting room look like?

They have Glamour magazine from 2005 for you to read.

After getting jerked around for an hour I got a pair of uppers for April 15th.... whew......

logical thinking, so we know that is unlikley

PS I thought the same thing

LOL, but probably true.

Got another Text for one of the Oakland shows. 

Just another example of why 10C should have the Draw BEFORE Varified Sale:

I only need a ticket for one of the 6 shows out West and i've got a Code for 5 of the shows i don't NEED. (or is that being thought of as being Entitled?) MAYBE ther is a reason why they have it the way it is? I'm sure they'll tel us>LOL

I'm debating being logged in via iphone tm app vs. desktop webpage...any quick thoughts?

Through my past experiences I’m now absolutely convinced things have work faster and better on my TM iPhone app.  Today I tried desktop for Toronto.  I already had tickets through 10c so it’s wasn’t imperative that I score extra tickets for some friends today.

Yes.  Knowing what 10c Seats we had before today would have been the way to do this.  Thousands of people would probably not even have searched for tix today, if they know they had something suitable already.

Why the F am I getting a 401 error message when trying to view Denver details...I got a text sent to me stating that I was bumped from waitlist to the queue, with a code, but the link takes me to a 401 error page. I've tried multiple devices, web browsers and going directly through TM.com...Same message. Frustrating.

Zod

Oakland seems to be a lower demand show for sure.  I guess it's because it's not super close to other population centres.    My friend got us side stage, 10th row, 2nd level for Oakland 1.  Not great, not horrible.  Ok seats.   It'll be fine knowing we're on the floor the next night

Question for next time....is your place in the queue completely random?  Me and two other buddies each had invites to the VF presale for Baltimore and the last guy (out of the 3 of us) that made it into the waiting room (the screen before the queue opens up), ended up with the best spot in the queue with only 350 people ahead of him.  Me and my other buddy had 2,000+ people in front of us when we entered the queue, even though we got in the waiting room ahead of him.

Just trying to figure out how this madness works.  I can accept it being random...but would just like to know so I'm not trying everything I can do to get into the waiting room as quickly as possible if there's absolutely no benefit to your spot in the queue.

I logged into waiting room (Baltimore) about 30 seconds before 10am - had about 450 people ahead of me- got 2 tickets in 200 level side stage after about 2 minute wait.  Had to be some sort of randomness.

I logged into Baltimore Waiting Room exactly 10 minutes before 10 AM as suggested.  There were 2,000+ in front of me.  Finally got in at 10:25 and couldn't even pull a single.

Sounds exactly like what happened to me.

Same. Just too many on east coast for 1 show.

Huh?

wall232

I hope 10C is reading these messages and makes an adjustment for the next sale and runs the lotto first and then has people sign up for verified fan. So many people getting codes for shows they don't need any longer, such a waste.
