Yah, this seems like a huge task.  I would honestly rather wait a week to make sure they got it right.  it would also help anyone (like myself) who would have issues with multiple charges being applied to a credit card before they are refunded properly.

Maybe this was the initial delay for announcement and it still didn't go to plan

Imagine if we didn’t have the transparency of the forum and facebook. No one would know how or if it all went wrong…

Postcards, Money orders, problem solved

I loved this system, honestly.  Haha.  Never worried about getting tickets.  You just got them.

I bet they regret combing PIT with Seated this time around.  Doesn't seem like much to gain by doing that.  All it caused was confusion.  I did read what Ten Club posted, and I did follow their recommendation for best available to select all which meant selecting PIT/Reserved as well as Reserved as 2nd choice.  But I can see why many of you didn't click Reserved after already clicking PIT/Reserved as first choice since it should cover both based on what they said.  But they should have just left it alone as just PIT.  It was very simple to click PIT and also click Reserved without making it PIT/Reserved and Reserved.  It would have avoided alot of people's confusion or worry about cancelling out their selections by choosing Reserved as 2nd since they had already seen Reserved was included with PIT now.  

Yep - I said a few posts ago that this was the first big red flag. They should have never combined pit with reserved. They should have remained separate choices with separate priorities. 

There shouldn't be a priority on seating selection. In 2020 it was simple.  You could select 1 of 3 options. Your priority is the show rankings.

GA Only
Reserved Only
Best Available (GA or Reserved)

Changing the language and the ability to check all boxes made it very weird

I disagree. They should have kept it where you could select show PLUS seat option as one full priority. If you want to try for the same show with a different seat option, it should be a different PRIORITY. 

In that scenario, you choices could look like this:
Priority 1 - City X GA
Priority 2 - City X Reserved

It was that way in the past 

I didn’t like that. It was basically GA or bust for some shows.
How they did it on 2020 makes the most sense to me

The real villain is whomever pitched Jersey Mike's cheese steaks as Philly quality. That shit is rich man's D'Angelo at best.

I like JM because it's better than Subway or Penn Station (my opinion). I can't say that I have ever had a true Philly so no way to compare.

There is a place in Indy that Philly people like so I'll hit that sometime.

Seems a little strange Ten Club hasn't said more about this in an official capacity by putting out a statement on home page.  Seems like they are content to just let Ticketmaster/TicketsToday handle this.

So if I'm reading this correctly, no one beyond priority 1 should have gotten seats until all 1s were fulfilled, or the allotment was exhausted. 

Yeah, seems like someone made a boo-boo.

But I think your name has to be pulled first so yes someone with a priority 2 could win over a 1 because 1’s name never got pulled.  Does this make sense? 

It does not.  Name can't be pulled if isn't in the hat.  (where did that text above on show priority come from?)

From 2020 tour info page but this process for how priority works has always been like this so should still hold true.

https://help.pearljam.com/hc/en-us/articles/205143590-Pre-sale-Drawing

This has been explicitly superseded. The text for this process from https://blog.ticketmaster.com/pearl-jam-tour-2023 is:

I know people don't read stuff, but at the end of the day, it was there and folks can't blame anyone else if they didn't read the announcement details. That said, it's obviously and intentionally vague, meaningless weasel words. People should have expected that it wouldn't work the same as it used to, but nobody had/has any idea how it is in fact meant to work now. 

Do you work for ticketmaster or something? You are vehemently defending how this has played out.  Are you a scalper/bot who got what you wanted?  

Them changing the entire lottery program without telling anyone is unfathomable bait and switch nonsense.  They were up front about changes to 10c.  Why wouldn't they be up front about lottery changes?  You have reasonable right to the belief that it would operate as it has unless expressly and explicitly stated in writing to advise you otherwise.

Are you an idiot? How the actual *fuck* do you get "defending" from "intentionally vague weasel words" or my post a little while ago that was pretty much just "fuck Ticketmaster"? I still can't tell if you're actually one of the dumbest people I've ever met; just so angry that you can't read straight (fair enough); or just a straight up troll. 
AND THEY DID TELL YOU THEY CHANGED IT, I FUCKING QUOTED IT AND INCLUDED A LINK. When they used to say "this is how it works" and now they say "we're not telling you how it works, but the thing that used to be central is now just "still considered", you'd have to be an absolute fucking moron to not realize it changed. I can understand people not having read that text, people don't read that stuff, but you can't for a second say it didn't exist. 

my friend...you are just asking to get banned. You can't go off like this here. Edit ASAP or be damned.

I am not sure this changes anything says priorities considered very clearly 

To level the playing field, ticket requests are fulfilled in a randomized selection process while still considering show priority.

Not sure how priority would be considered uneasy the followed the long standing documented process - TC says:

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 is same as always.

And they were the biggest band in the world with much higher ticket demand!

Neither will say anything because it will seem like they're taking the blame. God forbid someone own up to a mistake

More confirmations to come today!!

They better get rolling on the rest of these requests

I think everything is going to have to be pushed back until they figure this out but I can't say with any accuracy

Well the verified sale is Friday, so they don't have a lot of time, unless they delay that too.

I guess they could always go the Taylor Swift route and just cancel the general on sale and say there aren’t enough tix to go forward with it.

New post from SEA really clears everything up.

I haven't been there in over a year, the last time there was not great.  I really don't like the chains sub shops much.  I also prefer non toasted sub, like Jimmy Johns.  Of all the chains I've tried, I think Jersey Mikes is the best, but again my last visit was disappointing.  I think it depends on the actual location.  
I've never tried Which Witch, I'll put it on my list to try.

I've been ignoring most of the technical debate because I honestly don't care much. It's out of all of our hands. But can someone explain to me what's so different about this year, as opposed to 2020/2022, aside from the no "GA only" requests? I keep seeing people say this is a new system. But it seems like the same exact system otherwise.

I got a gyro sandwich at Which Wich and didn't like it. Too much feta and not enough meat. The one in Fishers closed but it was in a high rent area. You've got to sell a ton of wich to pay the rent down there.
