This should be the opposite. Everyone will get their seats based on their seniority. That shouldn't piss people off. 

This will obviously piss people off that get downgraded though, as fair as it may be in aggregate. You don't pull the rug out on people like that. I say this very selfishly

I imagine everyone is thinking they’ll be upgraded now.

I've already had it happen once in this process. It sucks, but getting it right is more important.

Maybe so…but wherever this lands at the end of the day—they’re probably losing members.

Half upgraded/half downgraded with maybe a small amount not moving much at all. All of the 10C tickets are already out and they likely are just reshuffling the winners around in their correct seniority order like it should have been from the start. 

Falling Down

Now that Ten Club has reached out to confirm they’re in the process of fixing this, looking forward to continue the discussion about subs

So because we are loyal 10C members, and Ticketmaster wants to elicit the highest profits they can, prime seats are not being released to 10C members and being reserved for Ticketmaster sales which they can they control both the initial sale and any re-sale on their marketplace.  I see how this works, pure corporate greed and ineptitude.  

I'm gonna be that guy and say it's deeply hypocritical for the band to abide by this fucking over of the fans 

If you think about it, they found a way to get die hard fans to commit to buying seats without knowing where they will be, and then giving the majority of them sub standard seats a casual fan would never pay for.  It's sort of unbelievable to think this would so easily work, but it does, because as many of us have said, "I am just happy to be in the building" ..... I mean who else would commit money to tickets without knowing where the tickets will be?

It's not ideal, but it is what it is. I'll have a worse seat than what I have now. But a lot of lower number members got worse seats than me, and that wasn't right. Hopefully, they get it fixed and we'll all be in the seats we were supposed to be in if this didn't get fucked up.

Went from no seats and shutout to loving my seats, to now cringing where I will end up reading all this.  Flights booked after I got tix, so this has kinda turned into a pain in the ass.

After being involved in the U2 presale today, I can say the Pearl Jam fiasco was gentle by comparison. Unlike Pearl Jam, U2 is allowing a really gross cash group. Crap seats are running $850 a pop or more right now. 

At least I scored tickets for Explosions in the Sky in New Haven.

On top of that we now have to put GA/RES together not even allowing us to opt out of a chance at a ticket thats in the nosebleeds.

Oh look at this!

"We also want to address fan frustration about Ten Club tickets being located in higher levels of the venues compared to prior tours. We are committed to getting more inventory into the hands of Ten Club members and the only way to add more tickets is to go higher up. As a result of this additional inventory, we were able to allocate more tickets to Ten Club members than on any previous arena tour."

They made this really clear in the announcement and FAQ, but when I pointed it out the usual suspects here all told me I was an idiot and a newb and a moron because the plain text obviously didn't say what it actually said. I was definitely misinterpreting it! Now they say clearly and officially, AGAIN, that this is exactly what's happening. 

I won't hold my breath for apologies form the six of you sad sacks that know who you are. 

Nobody should of been arguing against that. They did the same last tour with plenty of seats going out in the uppers. It was the low 10C seniority that was being placed up there that was the issue. And that is being corrected like it should be.

Still doesn't fix the priority 1s that didn't win when lower priorities won

No offense, but they obviously changed how priority works. They changed the official language around it for a reason. Why keep beating a dead horse? Lobby 10C if you think it's not right. Posting here over and over that it was "broken" and needs to be "fixed" is just a waste of your energy, it couldn't possibly be any more clear that they intentionally changed it. 

Priority worked like it was supposed to for GA. Why are you ignoring this. RES was broken. 

Sigh. You're asserting that with no evidence. It's entirely possible that the same process is used for both but because of all the variables involved, GA ended up working out something closer to how things used to work. Thousands about thousands of people went through this process and we have self-reported data for a few dozen of them. We can't possibly make assertions like the one you're making. It's nonsense.

You can't debunk it either, so why do you keep insisting on it?

I'm not going to try to talk to you about proving a negative and the onus of evidence again. Sorry. You don't actually want to hear anything, you just want to posture and attack. Enjoy. 

The "onus of evidence" is literally "PearlJamDude10" or "I'm Alive" or "MikeRocks" tossing complete speculation out there with literally zero iota as to the answer of:  why.  That's not posturing or attacking nor is it being crazy - they simply want to know why they've paid their membership fees for this very opportunity & the priority didn't work as intended.

LOL you did it again! You're assuming "priority didn't work as intended" when, in fact, literally the *only* two things we know about priority are:

1. that they changed the official language around it, drastically.

2. It did not seem to work the way it used to/people think it will. 

These two facts combined clearly point to the inference that the way it is "intended" to work has been changed.

No where did they state that priority changed to the tune of:  You may not get Priority one but someone with Priority 7 or 8 - with the same seat selections - may get seats.
Very simple question that could be answered.
I'm done here - you're wanting to continue to toss old very odd suggestions;  folks are just simply trying to get an answer to something they put money into and obviously very clearly didn't work as intended.

Lol, so because they didn't explain what it changed *to*, you refuse to accept their clear statement that it changed. I don't know how some people get through life. It must be a struggle. 

Ahhh, yes - pre-pubescent insults.  I don't know how people get through life being as obviously miserable as you appear to be.
It's a very simple question that anyone can answer - how did someone who has paid their membership fees not get Priority 1 when people got them at Priority 7/8;  why even have a priority based on numerical value at that point?
Go ahead, pal - have the last word.  We all know you so desperately wish that to be the case.

Once again, it's been explained over and over that there is more than one way for priority to work, with examples, including examples from other fan clubs. Enjoy your choice to live in ignorance. I find learning much more enjoyable. 

Except that whole fact the "language" never changed. I choose to my live my life in actual facts & then facts aren't present... actually learning why something is so.  I know, novel, eh?
LAST WORD GUY!  Go for it!

The language is pretty vague IMO. Works for both a same priority draw and an NBA more chances draw among ALL.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY should be surprised by the U2 Vegas cash grab. 
That production is not cheap and if U2 is known for one thing beyond their music it's  the over the top concert production.
Imagine how much less expensive their tickets would be if they stuck to a simple production  like PJ.

This is gonna be bad.  Woo hoo 10C is fixing an error for 2%!  The premium is the real issue.  "They took our jobs, err seats" 
Unless premium is gone or diminished to at least the level of 2022 I fear this club is dead.  I love the band and I try to be a happy to be there guy, but we all know that we are in this club because they have consistently given us GREAT seats.  Personally I've done great with a 420xxx.  Those days are done if premium continues.  Sad.
It seems Ticketmaster finally killed Pearl Jam.

Glad to see them throw a statement out there and bring transparency around the situation. This has been one hell of a moving train and they've identified issues.

I'm guessing there's a greater chance I'll be moving back to allow some of the lower #s come back down from the 300 level, but at least we know a few things:
- Demand was crazy
- They truly got a ton of tickets to be seating people in the uppers
- Whatever they do won't be good enough to appease some people, so likely a few less people in front of you in priority next go around

You have to consider the options though. It all just becomes a formula. No premium pricing? The Band, the venue/TM their cut/amount doesn't budge. They just back out how to get there. 

No premium pricing? Then we have these options or a combo

1. Higher overall tickets for all seats
2. Less fan club seats?
3. Less profit? 
4. No ticketmaster = no venues

Go ahead quit….you’re only slightly better than I but closer is closer.  This club will never die.  Never.  Some in the club since the very beginning and haven’t wavered.
