How are people with shows as 1st priority not getting picked while others with the same show as 3rd or later getting seats?

    Leaving things in Ticketmaster's hands is a recipe for disaster.

    There was no way seats could be assigned as winners were picked AND have those seats assigned by seniority. Can't happen.

    Happened to both my wife and I with Chicago. I had Chicago N1 as my 1st priority (selected all options- GA/Reserved, Reserved, and Side/Rear) and have heard nothing. My wife had Chicago N2 as her 1st priority (same options selected) and also has heard nothing. It sounds like this unfortunately happened to a lot of people in this lottery.

    I hope Texas seat assignments are reviewed as well because Austin tickets appear to suffer the same incorrect seniority error.

    Do you know anyone with Chicago N1 or N2 as their 2nd priority or higher that win tickets? In that case it's an absolut fraud.

    I mean, I'm hoping the fix with the seat re-draw also fixes the priority problem. At least in the case of the United Center, there were no reports of side/back or 300 level tickets going out. So there's reason to think many of us were going to get tickets, but didnt because the process was halted mid-stream.

    Ultimately the priority problem is a bigger deal than people not getting seats assigned by senorirty.

    The wife and I did the same thing, except we picked reserved seating only and we got nothing

    My seats for 9/7 were one section over from yours. That's when I knew there was a problem! Lol

    Absolutely! I'm not sure how others are drawing a different conclusion. This isn't going to be a fun work day for 10C, that's for sure. Or many of us. 

    If I missed on my 4 selections and nobody with a lesser priority for those shows got tickets for it, I am okay with that. My luck is awful in general, so I understand losing lotteries. But missingbon my priority 1 when others get that show (and several others) with it as a priority 2 or 3. And missing my priority 2 while others have gotten it as a priority 3? It just doesn't make sense at all.

    The change they made this time that I didn't like was combining GA and Reserved and allowing all of the choices for a show to be a single priority. 

    I was not in favor of that at all and even though I'm not a data analyst or the one writing the algorithm for this, in my head it felt like that would make this process very muddled and I wondered how they could possibly pull off a drawing like that. And then you throw priority of member numbers into the mix and it just seems like a big mess.

    They should have kept it like it was - each seat choice should have been a separate priority. So if you want to try for GA, you use up a priority choice for that. 

    Effectively, you were just choosing a show this time and indicating whether GA was acceptable or not. It lumped a lot of people into big buckets vs separating them out as before. 


    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Really expecting this to be the case as virtually no 300 seats were assigned yet and even limited 200s (though more than just a few).

    Explaining to do?  Will never happen.  Enjoy the silence because that is all we will get.

    And for the record, OP, you and I are on the same page.

    I may be wrong here but I don’t recall mention of there being a show priority to the selections being made. Didn’t people just request whatever shows they wanted and it did not include choice #1, #2, etc?
