So they’re going to fix the seniority issue but not the priority one 🤷🏻♂️ it’s a lot easier to defend the lottery than the seat assignment errors
I don't know if they will fix the lottery issues or not, but interestingly enough, it does seem that they halted things when they realize the seat assignment screw up.
Maybe they fix the priority issue for when they resume new confirmations (if more are in fact forthcoming)
So here's a question....I used a credit card with a $900 limit, with a zero balance. Will the refund hit my account in time for the new charges to clear? If not, will they allow me to use a different card?
Honestly feels like we’re right back where we were 24 hours ago…we know nothing. Tomorrow, they might feel like taking away all our tickets, and they would, and there would be nothing we could do about it. Fucking shitshow.
I like how this email says “We confirm you have reserved tickets” which I first read as confirmation that at least I know I’m still in reserved section under the pavilion and not lawn and then realized oh they mean I secured a pair of ticket and they could literally be anywhere. Gotta love it. Guess we’ll see what happens. Fun times!
I usually think people are overreacting when they go all "ahhhh, fuck this band/its mgmt/the whole operation"
But if I get screwed tomorrow, I figure I'll just F2F everything & say fuck it. Take the year off. Maybe do Ohana & that's it.
This shit's just disheartening. Not just for me, but there a HUNDREDS of pissed off people tonight. The uncertainty is toxic.
And spreading.

It's actually kinda humorous that the seats I already thought were pretty shitty are about to get even shittier. lol
I had aisle seats to both shows believe it or not lol. They were further away than usual but worked for me.
Nice. I was hoping for at least one pair of aisle seats or maybe get lucky with GA. But no on both counts. Although, now I guess I have two more chances to hit aisle seats tomorrow.

10C, since we’re refunding and reassigning anyway, take a look at the Chicago shows on StubHub and ban anyone with listed seats…

I think at the end of the day, tickets today or ticketmaster clearly f-ed up with the priorities, and we know they wont make good on it. I work 15 minutes from the UC and it appears I wont be going to either of the shows. I sure as hell wont pay the PJP or scalper prices.
First world problems, eh?
Luckily my wife nabbed Minnesota 2 reserved with her presale. She always saves the day! I think I'll be able to get Minnesota 1 tix via F2F at some point. I'll make a driving weekend getaway out of it and have some fun. Maybe visit the Prince mansion and the Mall of America, etc.
I'm going to bed. Congrats to everyone who scored today!
In the wash this will all work out now - people will get what they want for most shows, and seniority will mean better seats - but things like this shouldn't happen. The process was poor, particularly with such anticipation. They've literally had years to prepare.
I hate to say it but it points to artists being more and more distanced from their fans, and less in-tune with them. It's not just PJ, it's the majority, but it still sucks.
There's unlikely any lottery issue to fix, as far as anyone knows. This is literally from the 10c presale page
"Ticket requests will be confirmed for each show taking your priority into consideration, but it is not guaranteed you will get your first priority."
This should mean that no one is guaranteed their first priority, as demand could be more than allocation (unlikely but OK).
But it should work as Priority 1 gets first pass of tickets and then other priorities, not that we will do the allocation with what appears to be little to no rhyme or reason.

Whilst I don't necessarily disagree, we know for a fact that they have messed up the seat assignments for 5 shows, and issued multiple pairs for another show.
Given those mistakes, it would hardly be an absurd position for someone to hold serious doubts about the veracity of any part of this specific process.

Well mine are now all listed as unfulfilled. So I’ve officially lost. But I never saw anyone post they got side or rear, which I put in for.
I wouldn't concede yet. Seems things got halted at some point due to the seat assignment issue and that the unfulfilled was set to go out at 12am EST for all those not selected by that time.
This process has been a mess and that mess likely continues tomorow, with additional confirmations possible to likely imo.

So did I! I wonder if that might be part of the problem. They've given us all the aisle seats expecting us to sit on each others' laps.
