Sucks for those who got 300s with a high seniority. Totally understand the outrage.
Small sample size of course. Also not everyone is on the boards or giving you data. But based on chatter, I certainly expected a lot more mess ups. For the majority it looks like things are where they should be.

Interesting...I had thought that maybe having N2 with all tickets selected might have been the reason (even though they didn't say priority would effect seating).
But now seeing this, there just is no rhyme or reason I can think of???
After tickets were assign I did this table based on the information I was through the forum. Maybe you are alredy in the list but I preferred to obfuscate the nickname. So can you help me to fill this:
10C 236XXX
Chicago 1
Sec 234, Row 2, Seats 9 - 10
Chicago 2
Sec 203, Row 7, Seats 5 - 6
I was on the floor section 1, row 30 prior to the reassignments... Thankfully the reassignment won me night 2.
That's interesting. I'm 230xxx and while we're in mirrored sections (I'm in 218) my row is 5 on Night 1. I guess that's the premium I pay for being on the Mike/Jeff side, haha

Oh well, I'm guessing we won't get any communication on this so we will never know/understand.
Wonder what the difference was for demand between the shows. I would assume night two would be more, but thats just personal bias.
Yes but I'm comparing the same night between your tickets and mine. based on that, it's clear neither priority nor fan club seniority was used for seat allocation.
Unless they separated the drawing within a single night? Like fulfilled all tickets and allocated by seniority, and then got some extra tickets and drew new names and then allocated those by seniority??

No offense but nothing is as it should be. there are zero reported seats pulled for the 2 sections on the side next to the stage. Those are the best seats in the house and we have none of them so aside from the seniority screw up and people not getting their priority 1 for a show when others got the same show with their 3rd they also didn’t get the best seats in the house. If fact it’s quite the opposite

This is all you need to see.........this proves something did not work. OR........priority really meant absolutely nothing which is very misleading.

Exactly. This alone should scrap the whole thing. Fix the issues. The shows aren’t until September. There’s plenty of time to make this right.
On tuesday, I was selected for reserved seats for both chicago shows, an nothing for Indiana.
Tuesday night, they are "reassigning" my seats for both shows, and refund one show.
Wednesday, I'm given worse seats for chicago 9/5, no confirmation of chicago 9/7, AND i'm given lawn for indiana 9/10.
wednsday night, my CC is charged for indiana AND onw chicago show, BUT, the two original charges are on my account!
So now i get an email from ticketmaster saying my card was declined and i need to re do my selections. my card overdrafted because ticketmaster CHARGED ME THREE TIMES for two shows. as of now, i have four CC charges for three shows, and only two are confirmed locations!
Any new realizations... would have to wait... Til he had more time,... more time... Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye, To himself... I'll see you on the other side...

You can have my 300 level tickets as soon as F2F opens
Won't be any fan to fan for Chicago. As soon as you get the tickets you should be able to transfer.
There is F2F in Chicago ... but there is also legalized scalping:
What should I do if I’m buying tickets for a show in Illinois?
Illinois has laws that prohibit artists from being able to restrict the transfer of their tickets. For shows in this state, Pearl Jam strongly encourages fans to choose to only buy or sell tickets to one another on face value exchanges — including Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange.

Believe it when I see it. There was no fan to fan in NY or CO last year.

No Earthlings show or Pearl Jam show that was played in Colorado, Illinois, or New York has ever had fan to fan while all other cities on that tour have had it. I would be surprised if Chicago does but the wording there seems to suggest it.

If I remember right from the Chicago EV show last year, there might have been fan resale tickets on the TM site, but I don't think it was restricted to face value. It has been over a year though, so I could be wrong for sure.

Well, at least the wife got U2 Vegas tickets through Verified Fan. In and out within 10 minutes, selected the seats we wanted. So glad the ticket gods worked in her favor after seeing me shuffle around the house worrying about the 10c lottery.

That would sting for legit ticket holders, not scalpers, who had to sell their tickets for whatever reason. They weren't cheap to start with.
