    Anyone here on verified fan?
    I just got an email saying I was about 5 minutes ago. I got tickets from the lottery for the show so I am not even sure if I am eligible to purchase 2 more during the sale tomorrow. Update: Well I just got a text with a code for tomorrow so you must be eligible to purchase them if you already have tickets from the lottery. This doesn’t seem like other presale codes I have seen before where you could log in on any account and use the code. It says it can only be used when logged into the account it was sent for.

    DRS-R row AA.  Have no idea where they seats are at.  Appears to be dress circle.  Are these behind the main floor or part of a balcony?  None of the seating charts really show them.  Paid Tier 2
    I was drs- rc BB for David Byrne and they are great seats

    Not a bad seat in the house in Auditorium Theater. Saw EV there in 2008 for the tour closer. Dead center like 40 rows back. Amazing sound. Saw EV in the Fox Theater back in 2011 & was front row, dead center balcony. Best view and sound I think I’ve ever experienced.

    Just saw MMJ there in November for 3 nights.  Not so sure about no bad seats, those upper balconies are WAY up there. I have never sat up there, so cannot really say.  For the Orch and the lower balcony, I agree.  Great room with great sound. Skipped seeing MMJ on the east coast to see them in that venue.

    0-for-7 on lottery for first round
    0-for-3 on first round for my wife
    Waitlist on round 1
    Put in for night 2 Chicago….nope
    Waitlist again

    Its a joke being a 10Club member and can’t participate in “verified” fan sales. Hope others understand frustration.

    I agree. We are already verified as a 10c member. Why not make the "verified" fan sale a general on sale via verification also including those in the 10c that were shutout via a code and then make it luck of the draw? The real reason? TM cannot handle the throttle of folks at once trying to buy tickets. 

    With this being said....ISO (2) for Chicago N2

    Bummed to strike out for both Chicago shows. Anyone get lucky with 10C and verified fan?

    Tier 1 Balcony RC row C. Hoped for some of the luckier seats, but I knew the risk I was taking.

    Totally get it. Wish Chicago 2 was part of the original announcement because others would’ve prioritized it lower instead of everyone having an equal chance. But it happens, and I’m guessing the seats further back will be put up for sale, lower than any Platinum prices, near the show dates. A weekday show mid-February in Chicago doesn’t seem like it’ll be a 100% packed venue.

    Saw Neil Young WAAAAAY up in the ceiling a few years ago and though Neil was on the smaller side, it sounded like he was playing right next to us with perfect acoustics, even up there. Just saw Bob Dylan there a few months ago in a box and the view was great and sound amazing. Honestly, I'd say the sound was as good up top as it was in the box. The venue is an acoustical masterpiece!

    So if you got selected for verified fan, does that guarantee you tickets if your on tomorrow?

    Or is a shot at getting tix?

    A shot at getting tickets. I would log on to your TM account at least 10-15 minutes before they go on sale.

    And make sure your payment information is up to date and ready. Once you get into the sale the tickets are going to go fast, so having everything ready to go will hopefully get you through checkout faster. Good luck!

    It’s so frustrating repeatedly getting shut out for these shows, only to get on Ticketmaster and seeing “platinum” tickets being sold for $700. What an absolute joke the music industry has become. Disheartening to see Eddie not standing up to it.

    Or seeing a pair of (most likely) 10c seats for Chicago 2 already on StubHub for platinum prices.

    As others have said, getting selected for Verified Fan does not mean you’re guaranteed to get tickets in the sale; it just means that you get the opportunity to participate in the frantic scrounging for a small number of tickets up for sale. 

    But this does raise a question that I’ve always wondered about since the Verified Fan system was introduced… if they’re going to lottery off the right to participate in the sale, and put others on the wait list, why would they have the initial number of “winners” be greater than the amount of tickets that are up for sale? Seems like it would be easy enough to have the initial number of winners be equal to [number of available tickets]/[per person maximum ticket purchase], then go down the line letting wait list people in for any unbought inventory. But from what I can tell, they let way more people in to the Verified Fan sale than can be supported by the available tickets. Why?

    I am in DRS-R row BB, so same section as you, and 1 row behind. Not super fancy/close, but I'm pleased with my seat. Looks good from what I'm seeing on the https://aviewfrommyseat.com site.
