Now that today's shift at the Circuit Busying Plant is over, I gave the "Listener Care" number a call to make sure I'm entered for the second-chance contest (which looks like it ends today). I've had the same problem as others here, where I submit my entry and then when I try to follow through on the "Listen Here" button I just get taken to a page to create a new account. I also noticed that in the rules it says that creating multiple entries will cause them all to be disregarded, so I wanted to make sure I hadn't messed it up that way.

After three calls and several mis-directions within the Sirius customer service architecture, I finally got through to someone who would discuss it with me, and while I've been assured that everything is fine and I'm properly entered for the contest I have to say that I don't have 100% confidence that it's true.

What's that number? I had similar problems when I submitted my entry. It took me through all of the prompts to enter and then when I submitted it said I was already entered, but I still get emails prompting me to enter. 

866-635-2349. Good luck - if you get through and talk to somebody, let us know here so we can compare notes.

I sent a screenshot and tweet to the Sirius main account with that issue and SiriusHelp wrote back to me saying "Listening to the channel automatically enters you to win. Good luck" I hope they are right, but who knows.

Yeah - I'm at least as concerned about the bit in the rules that says if you create multiple entries they'll all be voided, since I've tried several times to get a different result. But I've been assured that I'm entered.

Yeah same here and I tried calling them a few times, but just got the run around for awhile.
I had to spell out Pearl Jam to one person I talked to lol. Anyway good luck hopefully we get more 10 Clubbers at that show.

I truly wonder what the odds look like. The email says it went out to just under 7 million subscribers - that seems VERY high given that, based on quick google search, it looks like Sirius only has ~30 million subscribers in total. But let's say it's accurate - how many of those people even open the email? How many of those try to enter? How many of those get the bootleg question right (either because they know, care enough to look it up, or guess correctly)? How many of those go ahead and listen to PJ radio (especially considering that the "Listen Here" link doesn't work)? And of course: how many tickets are they giving out?

I couldn't begin to guess the answers to any of those questions. But at this point whatever the answers are, and acknowledging the possibility that I'm not even entered correctly, I feel like this is a much better shot than I have playing the busy signal game nine more times.

Good times this morning all. We got another board winner, so cool! Back at it tomorrow for another two tries.

The way I finally broke through was to say "Listener Care" to the robot menu lady (I think she might be the cousin of the circuity busy lady) to get her to connect me directly to the CS person who could (at least attempt to) answer my questions.

In 2018, when U2 played the Apollo, I received an email for a drawing just for NYC area subscribers. It said:

*ODDS: This exclusive opportunity for this block of tickets is being promoted by only one email broadcast to approximately 3,318,000 subscribers in the New York area. 

I think since then, more subscribers have entered their music preferences which has increased the size of the pool and I'm guessing that maybe it was sent to anyone who listed "rock" as one of their favorites.

Yeah but if every single subscriber in the New York area got the invite, that would mean that almost exactly one in five (19.957%) of the total worldwide subscriber base for Sirius (as of 12/31/19, http://s1.q4cdn.com/750174072/files/doc_financials/2019/q4/Sirius10-K.pdf) lives in the New York area.

Yeah after 3 weeks of this contest I still don't get the logic with what works and what doesn't. I tried last week and got caller 20 with my work phone. Since then I tried my work and cell again, and landline no luck getting through at all.

I'm about 1,000 miles from NY and the email I received says "This exclusive opportunity for this block of tickets is being promoted by only one email broadcast to approximately 6,965,157 subscribers in the New York area." So either the reference to "New York area" is an error or their definition of that area is quite broad.

When you realized that this "exclusive opportunity" for "subscribers in the New York area" had been sent to you in error, you declined to enter the contest and informed Sirius of the mistake?

I think since then, more subscribers have entered their music preferences which has increased the size of the pool and I'm guessing that maybe it was sent to anyone who listed "rock" as one of their favorites. 

Yeah but if every single subscriber in the New York area got the invite, that would mean that almost exactly one in five (19.957%) of the total worldwide subscriber base for Sirius (as of 12/31/19, http://s1.q4cdn.com/750174072/files/doc_financials/2019/q4/Sirius10-K.pdf) lives in the New York area.

I'm about 1,000 miles from NY and the email I received says "This exclusive opportunity for this block of tickets is being promoted by only one email broadcast to approximately 6,965,157 subscribers in the New York area." 

When you realized that this "exclusive opportunity" for "subscribers in the New York area" had been sent to you in error, you declined to enter the contest and informed Sirius of the mistake?

Absolutely. But ultimately I'm in the same situation of not knowing if I even submitted a valid entry because of the ambiguity around step 2. I figure the odds are small enough that it's not worth losing much sleep over.

Has anyone gotten through using the Verizon network? 

I got caller 9 on Verizon this morning.

I truly wonder what the odds look like. The email says it went out to just under 7 million subscribers - that seems VERY high given that, based on quick google search, it looks like Sirius only has ~30 million subscribers in total. But let's say it's accurate - how many of those people even open the email? How many of those try to enter? How many of those get the bootleg question right (either because they know, care enough to look it up, or guess correctly)? How many of those go ahead and listen to PJ radio (especially considering that the "Listen Here" link doesn't work)? And of course: how many tickets are they giving out?

I couldn't begin to guess the answers to any of those questions. But at this point whatever the answers are, and acknowledging the possibility that I'm not even entered correctly, I feel like this is a much better shot than I have playing the busy signal game nine more times.

No, that's not what I mean. I'm not saying that all people who received the email are NYC area residents. I'm saying that more subscribers have now indicated that one of their preferences is "rock".

EDIT: -  I didn't notice that NYC verbiage in the email.

Now that today's shift at the Circuit Busying Plant is over, I gave the "Listener Care" number a call to make sure I'm entered for the second-chance contest (which looks like it ends today). I've had the same problem as others here, where I submit my entry and then when I try to follow through on the "Listen Here" button I just get taken to a page to create a new account. I also noticed that in the rules it says that creating multiple entries will cause them all to be disregarded, so I wanted to make sure I hadn't messed it up that way.

After three calls and several mis-directions within the Sirius customer service architecture, I finally got through to someone who would discuss it with me, and while I've been assured that everything is fine and I'm properly entered for the contest I have to say that I don't have 100% confidence that it's true.

What's that number? I had similar problems when I submitted my entry. It took me through all of the prompts to enter and then when I submitted it said I was already entered, but I still get emails prompting me to enter. 

866-635-2349. Good luck - if you get through and talk to somebody, let us know here so we can compare notes.

I sent a screenshot and tweet to the Sirius main account with that issue and SiriusHelp wrote back to me saying "Listening to the channel automatically enters you to win. Good luck" I hope they are right, but who knows.

Yeah - I'm at least as concerned about the bit in the rules that says if you create multiple entries they'll all be voided, since I've tried several times to get a different result. But I've been assured that I'm entered.

Yeah same here and I tried calling them a few times, but just got the run around for awhile.
I had to spell out Pearl Jam to one person I talked to lol. Anyway good luck hopefully we get more 10 Clubbers at that show.

So either the reference to "New York area" is an error or their definition of that area is quite broad.

Just seeing this now. Really. Well there goes my theory. I hadn't noticed that it included the NYC verbiage.

Thanks for everyone's feedback on using Verizon. I guess there is some hope for me yet. See all of you tomorrow!

I'm screwed tomorrow, I have NYR tickets and will be in the garden during the call in window from 6-9:30

Woke up this morning to no email telling me I’ve won a pair of tickets in the “what year did they start doing bootlegs” contest. #gutted.
