People act like this is cracking the Enigma code.  Any one of a couple very simple and reasonable fixes to the system would help improve it.  

1.  Allow show prioritization again - the easiest and least impactful to PJ's bottom line.
2.  Allow GA only selection again - the least likely (see PJ bottom line).

For those that think this process is good, knowing that some 10C members go 10/10 and others go 0/10:

A.  They probably won a whole bunch of shows and/or GA selections.
B.  They are blindly devoted to anything 10C or PJ.
C.  They are lying to themselves.

Yes I know how lotteries work and yes I've successfully taken college level probability and statistics courses.  The fact is that the system is majorly flawed and can be vastly improved by one simple fix (see #1 above).

I got what I wanted (3 for 3, no GA tho), and I can see there were issues and not just the predictable imbalances that would come with no priority. Something funky definitely happened with the 2 night stands in the US. Probably has to do with the alog's used. Unfortunately, as long as TM is allowed to run it, there will be issues. I guess with the F2F, if you're committed to going to a show, you will get in with a couple of exceptions.

If I have to use F2F why am I keeping a membership for 25+ years?  I’m asking myself….

Struck out and went 0/3. Tried for Baltimore and both philly shows. Thought I'd at least get one but nothing

Will try for ticketmaster presale and if need be fan to fan.

I think this is a good question. Based on the results this time and presuming the same system is run next time, I will keep it so that I have the chance of getting 4 GA's in 5 shows or better, lol!

Are people been getting emails continuously today?  Or was there one dump?

I’m wondering the same thing…staying hopefully they’ll be another ‘dump’ this evening?  Do you guys think all the tix have been disbursed at this point for U.S. shows?

I think for the most part it is done. They are re-running declined cards today. If there are some double-declines, perhaps some new people get tickets. But for the most part, it's done.

Should I assume balt is done? Haven’t gotten a rejection email yet. I won p1 for wrigley N2. Nothing on balt tho as of now. 

Would be the first time I’ve missed on 20+ shows since 98.

what do folks think is the best option to try and snag GA for a show you missed? F2F? TM presale? StubHub?

My honest thought on your question, Who the fuck knows?

How are people finding out about credit card problems?  My friend still hasn't heard on either Wrigley show and I'm worried it's a CC issue.

I'm not sure anyone thinks this version of the lottery is "good", just some rubbing up against the idea that it was rigged, or somehow designed to screw them over.

This. No ones saying it isn’t stupid, it’s just more inept than malicious

GA/P1 - feels like its own GA only option.  The GA pit is a different color.
P1 is the blue
P2 was the orange

It wasn't particularly clear but I feel like the P stands for price. Since seated/GA are the same price they get tagged with the P1

Except that the option said "GA or P1 Reserved - Standing or Seating", so it wasn't just price.

Fair. I don't remember the options - I just checked em all.

It doesn't make sense if it says GA or P1 Reserved. I tried to make sense of something that is nonsensical

Got GA/Pit standing for Fenway.  I see on the seat map there are sections labeled turf pit and and then turf a7, turf b2, etc. So do I got "turf pit" or is that yet to be determined?  Thanks for any help!

Fair. It was a good thought, and I wish that was what it was instead of this weird "other reserved option that is the same sections" thing.

Refreshing on the day of show (example OKC 2022) I was able to snag GA from Ticketmaster for face about an hour before the show, saw this happen with LA #1 in 2022 as well.....

Turf pit. Those other sections are seated.

GA is the Pit. Turf sections are reserved seats.
