So this cluster won't be fixed before the Verified Fan tickets go on sale? TM site still shows pre-sale starting at 10am tomorrow.., so anyone that would prefer to sell their 10C back to F2F if hey snag a better Verified Fan ticket has no idea what their 10C seat is now? wow ..this just gets better and better..
I posted this in another thread as well and I think it is a valid concern.
I would assume the TM verified fan sale that is set to take place
tomorrow was intended to include all of the 300 level nosebleeds that
mistakenly went to 10C members. I hope whatever seat shuffling is
taking place behind the scenes opens up those “worst seats” in the house
to the verified fan sale and blocks the remaining “better” seats that
should have been assigned to 10C members initially. Take all the time
needed to sort out those seats based on seniority and proper assignment,
but make sure what is sold tomorrow are the 300s vs the 100s and 200s
for example. Time will tell.
That's not what's gonna happen. 10C already told us that 10C tickets now go into the Uppers. What's gonna be for sale tomorrow is going to include a ton of $$$ Premium Lowers, 10% of the venue.
No way that 90% of the venue is made up of Ten Club tickets and that the 300 level is full of Ten Club members. I have a high 10C number and the "worst" seats I've ever had have been straight across from the stage, several rows back in the 100 level. This is for high demand, sold out shows, that are no different from what we're dealing with here. If all of those Ten Club seats now end up in the rafters it is because:
A.) They withheld a LOT more for PJ Premium
B.) They withheld a LOT more for family and friends
C.) They withheld a LOT more for TM verified fan
D.) A combination of A, B, and C
There is no other way that makes sense.
Where did I say 90%? 10% is Premium, they told us that, 50%+ is 10C, they also told us that. And there will be plenty of 10C in the Uppers.
10C history has nothing to do with what they are doing now.
I would have thought far less than 40% +/- was held back for TM VF tomorrow. I'm aware you did not say 90%. Clearly none of us know and we'll all find out eventually. My point is that if they allocated roughly the same amount of seats to 10C as previous tours, it is hard to understand the high percentage of 300 level seats going to 10C members. Again, I base this on the fact that I have a high number and have never been placed there. So either they decided to sprinkle in a higher percentage of the 100/200 level seats to the TM/VF pool tomorrow, and move a higher percentage of 10C seats into the 300's, or something else occurred. Who knows. This is not a complaint by the way. I'm just trying to understand.
You have to factor in venue, promoter, friends and family, season ticket holders presale, ticketmaster, sponsors etc etc etc
Now add in fan club.......
After all that there is going to be 10% premium tixs and maybe 10% for verified fan sale.
Comically wait listed for Austin 1 and 2 and still selling the two turds 10C sent my way when F2F opens up

I didn’t get tickets fulfilled through Ten Club and did secure Verified Fan for the same specific night that I requested despite asking for other shows too.
I’m guessing it might be more exclusive then previously, likewise maybe they think he’ll buy the premiums lol.
A lot to read through here. So is there a chance that new seats will be worse than verified fan seats? I thought ten club was getting all the best seats
For Sure. 50%+ went to 10C, and this year spread throughout, to the very back. 10% will be Premiums down low. That leaves less than 40% on sale tomorrow, probably with a similar Lower/Upper ratio as 10C seats.
40%? No chance. You’re not taking into consideration sponsors, promoters, band’s friends/family, arena season ticket holders, etc. I once was told that after all of this is taken into consideration the “general fan” is left with less than 12% of total tickets available
Ticketmaster has been holding back tickets from the public for decades. Like a stock broker they dump the shit tickets on the public and save the best for the high paying clientele.
Isn't that the whole thing they had legal problems with? They created their own scalping system!
Yep! they've mastered the art of creating a false over-demand. A show looks sold out or near sold out for months,. And then a couple days before the show, magically there's hundreds of tix available at general/non-platinum prices.
They also have multiple companies that they can use as cover for them. No we didn't just put our ticketmaster alottment on the marketplace? Those were Live Nation tix.....or ticketstoday tix. Pssst. They own all of them. Same company.
What I love is how the reply email address in the Ten Club email I got isn’t spelled correctly. They’re falling all over themselves to mess this up more…
Can’t even remember if I signed up for VF. Was picked in 2022. Is there a confirmation email I can search for from last week?

Verified Fan emails are rolling out. I got waitlisted, but my girlfriend got confirmed for the Indy show. Can that same code be used for Chicago Night 2? I rarely ever get "verified", but the faqs seem to indicate that the same code can be used for all the shows that were submitted for?
Been in the fan club since 2000. First time getting denied the chance to purchase tix. This partnership with Ticketmaster is going to kill their fan club memberships.
The first really bad move they made was combining GA and reserved into one choice. It just got worse from there.
This isn't new... They always had the GA or Reserved option and the Reserved only option... what changed was people thinking they should pick both options due to bad phrasing on the letter..
Erm... I checked my ticket preferences from 2016-2020 and it was either GA standing or reserved seating. Combo was not there.
I think "Best Available" was absolutely there in 2020. Even when we recieved our confirmations, those who chose this option had to wait for the seat assignments, to tell if they got GA or seats.
* I rember this extremely well, as I won the most important GA ticket of my life, after choosing best available.
Thanks! She really is my everything! Most refer to her as McGruff10... I call her Scruffy

I missed a lot of posts so not sure if this has been asked and answered but have they said if we’re going to get refunded/charged again when our seats are changed. And if so will will there be ample time for the funds to clear before being charged again. I didn’t get tickets issued to me until Wednesday so haven’t been through the reassignment process yet.
When VF first started a few years ago, I used to get "verified" every single time. But the last couple years, I get waitlisted EVERY SINGLE TIME. And for those who are unfamiliar, "waitlisted" is a polite way of saying, "no chance in hell we're ever going to give you the chance to even try to buy tickets." Thank god for F2F.
