Finally got my 2nd choice... Austin Night 1, 217 Row K...terrible seats.
I'm row C, but right there with ya. I have 219 for night 2. I'm lowers for both Ft Worth shows and they were my 3rd and 4th priorities. Very weird how this all went down....
Okay, just for the sake of study, here's how I fared, because I see NO pattern lol
Shows in order of preference: 1. Chicago N2, GA/Res & Res selected 2. Chicago N1, GA/Res & Res selected 3. Austin N2, GA/Res & Res selected 4. Austin N1, GA/Res & Res selected 5. Noblesville, GA/Res & Res selected 6. St. Paul N2, GA/Res & Res selected 7. St. Paul N1, GA/Res & Res selected
Shows I was notified about across 5 hours:
1. St. Paul N1, Res 2. St. Paul N2, Res 3. Chicago N2, Res 4. Chicago N1, Res 5. Austin N2, Res 6. Austin N1, Res
6 out of 7 (Noblesville shut out), No GA, least important came in first, with this weird leap frog move by St. Paul, and Chicago & Austin (albeit a bit late) coming in the order I listed them, after said leap-frogging. No rhyme or reason, folks.
Just happy to have tix (that I will now try to upgrade lol)
Edit: Just to confirm, you got CHI night one with 2nd priority
Yes. 2nd priority. It was my 4th email/CC charge. I had given up hope, threw up an ISO, and then *KABOOM*
Congrats, not trying to shit on anyone’s “luck”. I had CHI N1 as 1st and have heard nada.
so if someone gets Austin Night 1 and it was their fourth choice.... and it was my second choice, it stands to reason that i should be getting tickets, right?
Logically yes…..actually…..no idea.
If your name doesn’t get randomly pulled then it doesn’t matter what priority you listed or your seniority. Your name never getting pulled means no tickets.
It’s happening to me as well.
this.
so animal got their 1st priority on the 3rd pull of names. right

Again: nobody here knows how the process is actually happening. Some people have a very strong opinion on how it "should" be happening, and to that, I'll just paste this again:
For the people who think the "only reasonable" way to do it is to pull from priority 1 for a city, then if there's any left, pull from priority 2, etc. Consider these two people's preference sets in order:
Person A: Austin, St. Paul, Noblesville
Person B: Chicago, Austin, St. Paul, Noblesville.
If Chicago has high demand and Person B does not get it, and Austin, St. Paul, and Noblesville all have enough seats for pretty much everyone in priority 1 and not much else, it's entirely likely that Person A gets all three of their picks, while Person B gets zero because they put Chicago first, maybe because they live in Chicago and would prefer not to travel if possible. Who knows. Personally, I find that an extraordinarily unfair system. I'm not saying a system with some other outcome is necessarily better, but I'm saying this "obvious" "only reasonable" system is not at all that.
I think people think that's how it works - because that's how it has worked in the past. They didnt say anything to make anyone think that part of the system has changed.
so if someone gets Austin Night 1 and it was their fourth choice.... and it was my second choice, it stands to reason that i should be getting tickets, right?
Logically yes…..actually…..no idea.
If your name doesn’t get randomly pulled then it doesn’t matter what priority you listed or your seniority. Your name never getting pulled means no tickets.
So no word yet on Indy. No biggie. I know how the process works. My only question is, do you still think there is a chance? Or has that shipped sailed?
The fan verified presale sign up ended at 5pm est today. With that in mind I'm guessing ticketmaster stops doing stuff with tickets at that time as well. I read people got their Indy tickets in the afternoon. I'm hoping to still buy some when they go on sale to the public
No. The verified fan sign up deadline is at 5pm PST. That leaves 15 minutes to re-order your preferences.
Is it done? I've noticed a lot of quietness the last hour - hour and a half; outside of a few random hits.
I just got a confirmation email for Night 1 Austin Reserved. Email came in 10 minutes ago. I thought for sure it wasn't coming.

Once again. This is fake news. Priority gets first consideration. It's on the FAQ.
So what happens next then. Why didn’t I get notified if I had CH 1 as my first priority.

That may be what happened, but that’s not the system described nor used in previous lotteries. Priority should matter.
I requested one ticket for September 18 and one ticket for September 19 in Austin, Texas. I was able to get both concerts. I haven't seen them since 2016. I'm very excited for the shows (but not the heat).
Most earnest post all day😇

NO IT ISN'T. I quoted the FAQ last time you said this! Again: "To level the playing field, ticket requests are fulfilled in a randomized selection process while still considering show priority."
"While still considering show priority" is not REMOTELY similar to "Priority gets first consideration." Not remotely!
It is exactly what it means buttercup. Calm your tits. IF it didn't mean that priority meant something why would it be there. It would say "all lotterys are random."
If you don't understand the english language you are the same as these fucks at ticketmaster who are responding to the email inquiries. Just

This makes me feel so much worse about not getting the 2 hometown shows I put in for.
I have St Paul night 2 (ga/reserved) set at priority 2. Based off the comments here, priority 3 and 4 won, which means I should too?
No email received or cc charge and I see Chicago notifications being posted. Starting to worry.
