I remember with verified fan in the near past, Ticketmaster said it was using an algorithm to filter out accounts they felt belonged to scalpers and they were basing it in part on how many tickets you were buying and selling.  

I’m wondering if there is a similar filter running in the background of this lottery that might be filtering out fans who tour a lot and also buy and sell a lot of tickets for the purpose of upgrading to better seats.  While well intentioned, the filter might be having the unanticipated consequence of black listing real fans who f5 and upgrade repeatedly.  Which is not fair… especially if they don’t announce this activity might get you shutout.  

So you're saying me upgrading my Wrigley seats and posting on F2F my old ones may have had a negative effect because I was seeking aisle seats vs. sitting directly in the middle of a row.  Just awesome.

Yes… but not really. I think you have to be really working the ticket machine to trigger it.  A few sales here and there wouldn’t  set off any alarms.  I thinking you need to have dozens of transactions.  Which someone here could have if they are doing many shows and regularly upgrading their seats.

Thanks - yep... I can tell you this if I'm indeed shut out on all shows I chose, I'm using a new email address

I doubt it, honestly. But if that's the case, I got hosed for F2F & sharing🤷‍♂️

Whew. Read through 8 pages of posts since I went offline yesterday.

For those asking about when we get seat assignments. For the first leg of DM tour, I received seat assignment emails 2 to 4 days after receiving the "you got tix" emails.

Interesting theory. But I have been botted to the point where I couldn't log on to TM using my wifi or my cell for quite a while. I wasn't able to log on to TM using my cell service for almost a month recently. And I did pretty well in this lottery. I am going to be very careful with F2F now that I am out of TM jail. I also just got a new modem from my cable company (unrelated to this issue) so I have a new IP address. Hopefully, that sets my slate clean with TM.

But you may be on to something. Hard to tell.

Not sure about this one. I traded up multiple times through F2F in Vegas this year. I drew for ATL N1 &N2, Nashville N2 and Raleigh N1 &N2 for 2025.

You would need dozens and dozens of transactions.

Unless there's going to be a magical early afternoon run of cities - which doesn't seem possible - looks like those unconfirmed emails will be coming out.  It takes them hours/all day to cycle through cities.

I have no idea.  But it could be right.  Ticketmaster has a financial interest in weeding out scalpers.  They don’t the competition on the secondary market so it would make sense they might flag some accounts if they mistook an upgrading fan for a scalper.

I don't think that plays into it. I got Verified Fan for Foo Fighters, Springsteen and TSwift over the last year. Got all those codes and went to concerts - I think I sold one of my 3 FF tickets. I transferred the TSwift tickets to my wife, who used them.

I've done Ten Club for 15ish years, I've always gotten picked for every show I've requested (I got GA for both Wrigley shows last year). 

I put in for Pittsburgh - so far, I've heard nothing. (So, I assume I'm out).

My guess is that the number of requestors is JUST high enough vs number of awarded tickets to make a random selection seem like something else. If it's something like 3:1, you'll get enough people on the 1 side (like me) that have always gotten their requests AND people that always end up on the other side of the equation.

Again… I wasn’t suggestion merely selling one ticket or a few tickets would get you banned.  Ticketmaster knows people will occasionally need to sell their seats.  It’s very high volume buyers and sellers.  This was disclosed by Ticketmaster for verified fan.

if this was the case wouldn't someone like @SHZA be banned by now? I think SHZA did okay, middle of the road this lottery? A f2f expert 

BV84003

2023: 2/2 (St. Paul 2-RES / Chicago 1-RES)
2024: 0/3 (NYC 1-X / Phil 1-X / Phil 2-X)
2025: 2/3 (Nashville 2-RES / Pitt 1-RES / Pitt 2-X)

High demand show factor aside, since the switch to TM I'm batting .500 which is quite generous for any lottery system I guess.

Pretty sure they got GA for both Hollywood shows.

Yeah… he’s definitely the master upgrader here.  So I can’t explain his success.  Just a theory I’m throwing out there because Ticketmaster has already admitted they did it for verified fan.
