Any other fans not thrilled with the reserved blind purchase system?

Got terrible seats for Balt. Borderline gutted :-)  Mid 6 club number, I'm in the 200s center ice at the back of the section under an overhang. Funny if these were 5 rows closer I'd be happy. Just dont get why they didnt bump fans from under an overhang to sections further away

This and Obstructed View Fenway are exact reasons I took so long to sign up.

Never liked the blind purchase concept. I really like this band but ovi not a die hard it seems.  Never liked any of their ticketing systems. 

Saw better TM seats on the presale. Good news keep an eye on the F2F.

    Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’ll gladly take them if you have a change of heart

    Lesson 1: Next time buy the presale seats too and F2F what you don't want
    Lesson 2: Baltimore is muy pequeña
    Lesson 3: "muy pequeña" means "very small" in English
    Lesson 4: 650XXX, come on

    How did you expect good seats with a high number?
    Did you look on View From My Seats to validate that they are messed up from the overhang?
    That barn looks small, so I am guessing it will be far better than when you sit oppo the stage at other arenas....

    Baltimore is a smaller venue than most, and one of only two shows on the entire freaking Eastern Seaboard. I'd be happy.

    Interesting that you waited to sign up, and you're "borderline gutted" you didn't get a great seat.

    Come on. Many people got shut out of Baltimore entirely, and you'd be happy if your seats were 5 rows closer, but you still start a thread to complain? 
    Disclaimer: I reserve the right to complain if I don't like my Denver seats!  =)  Not surprised with my Nashville seats.

    I guess it is what it is, but I got pretty bad seats in STL as well. Pretty surprised based on what I received for the Home Shows in Seattle. Kind of bummed myself, but at least I’m going to a PJ show this year.

    "borderline gutted" that you got seats to a show that many didn't with a very high 10c number in a smaller venue?  Come on.  This place is unreal sometimes.

    Frankly I'm seeing better seats MSG with a 700xxx. I'd rather be up higher in the first couple rows than blocked by overhang. It's not that they're too far, I really hate overhangs. They can block view and sound.

    It's ok to vent and analyze. The seats aren't far, they're under overhang so subject to obstruction and poor sound. I've been there before. At fenway.

    Any lower number fan who looks down on venting is free to trade tix w me ;-).

    I understand the PJ ticket game and went into it with the possibility of using the F2F as a real option.
