How the heck do you pick your rollover show? I added Philly 1 to my cart. Tried to add Philly 2, told me it was restricted and I couldn't have more than one. Bought Philly 1. Tried to get Philly 2 separately, told me it was restricted.

WTF?

    i am in the same boat as you, but opposite (bought philly 2)

    i'm guessing that those who bought philly 1 would choose philly 2 as rollover, and vice versa

    need some info!

    Shows denoted by a single * are rollover shows. If you win the first date and a second opens up, you will get tickets for the second show if you want them.

    there is no philly rollover show
  • Ryan_WFCRyan_WFC Posts: 1,350
    Philly 2 is a confirmed show, not a "rollover" possibility.

    Look at the list again. There are only two "rollovers" -- Memphis and Albany.

    The reason this sucks is people who went to buy might not have picked their preferred night for their only allowed pair of tix. This is going to be a total nightmare once we start getting notifications of who got tix and who didn't.
    I just wish the news had been posted, with at least a half hour for everyone to read it, and THEN purchasing of tix should have started.

    I concur. I had just assumed there'd be an announcement, followed by actual "on sale" type thing later. When I read that the tickets were on sale right away, I rushed and bought as fast as I could, which lead to the confusion. I was also worried about picking Philly I as my one and only show. The "rollover" tidbit on the actual ticket purchase page didn't talk about any limitations, so I just assumed it meant "pick a backup show if your primary doesn't work out". It was confusing with no time to digest.

    the rollover shows are tentative shows, I believe. That's what I had to wait for the Montreal#2 2008 to be confirmed.

    I don't think that is accurate. I think it is the reverse, i.e. you don't get tickets to your first choice, you are again eligible for the rollover.

    Philly night 2 is not a rollover show. ANd you cant purchase tickets to two confirmed shows. You can only pick one confirmed and one rollover.

    Then people are not very intelligent. READ before you purchase - didn't have to read very far to understand what the whole idea was. Too many times people complain because they did not READ/THINK before purchasing. One has plenty of time for these tix.

    The news wasn't POSTED YET when I went to buy tickets. I would most certainly have read the info FIRST had it been up. There was a good 10 minutes, maybe more, where the tickets were for "sale" and no other info was available beyond what was on the actual page for the tickets.

    Yes yes yes... all of us are effing retards who don't know how to read.

    Speaking of which... if all of you jumping on those of us for not reading everything first actually *read* all the posts in this thread before replying yourselves, you'd understand at least *my* situation a little better, and how it's not a lack of reading comprehension that caused the confusion.

    As I mentioned earlier in this thread (as those of you who read it before posting would know) was that the main details, including the definition of "rollover shows", were not yet on the page when I went to the tickets site. Only the tickets were available at that time. This is how I came to that conclusion:

    Tim refreshes the main site. No update. Still just stuff about "Flight to Mars".
    Tim refreshes the Porch forum. Sees multiple threads about tickets on sale.
    Tim rushes to the ticket page since there may only be a limited time for tickets and holy crap I want to get some before they're gone ohmygosh!
    Tim, despite his rush, reads *all* of the information on the ticket page. That information reads thusly:
    You are selecting two (2) tickets to the 6/11/09 EV show at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia, PA. By making this selection, you are not guaranteed tickets to this show, but you are establishing the opportunity to buy tickets if your order is randomly selected.

    There is a two (2) ticket limit per member. You may choose one (1) additional "rollover" show in addition to your 1st choice confirmed show selection. Please make sure you can attend all shows selected.

    Your credit card will be authorized for the ticket selection, and will only be charged if your order is selected.

    Please note, there is zero mention of only certain shows being rollover. In fact, it's very easy to construe that to mean "If you don't get your first show, you have a shot at a second so sign up for two" when there is no mention of any limitation to what a "rollover" show is.

    Hence the confusion on my part, and probably the part of others.

    It wasn't until after this thread was posted and a more polite fellow poster drew my attention to the entry on the main page (that, as mentioned before, wasn't there when my ticket panic began) that I got the full details. Put all that together, and there's your confusion.

    But thanks for assuming the worst in people. Not everyone is as smart as you guys. I'm going to go off and drool into my bellybutton now.

    I got a little wordy with my reply. Figured the bookworms of the board wouldn't have a problem with that, though.

    As for my bellybutton, the more the merrier!
