I think I just found out my EV tix order wasn't selected..

cordurology

Ever since I placed an order for a pair of tickets to the Nashville show when they went on sale Wednesday, there has been $162 on hold (for lack of better words) in my checking account. It was like that Wednesday, as well as yesterday. I just logged in a few mins ago to check my balance, and those funds are no longer being held.. the money is back in my checking account.

Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I have to believe this means my order wasn't "selected".


Has anyone else noticed something like this?

Zoso

nope my funds are still being held by 10c it seems... I'm not sure when they will actually start sending out emails maybe tonight who knows.. I wouldn't panic just yet.

Maybe your bank/cc company released the hold for your protection. They probably figure that since it was on 'hold' for a few days and no confirmation, they would release it. I dunno. I'll check mine when I get home.

The hold on my account is still there.

You may want to contact them about this... the presale window isn't even done yet, so theoretically your funds should still be held, as the lottery should not have taken place yet.

PJFAN_seattle

Oh man that sucks :(
But like some others have said maybe it was the banks doing you should call up ASAP and check because the presale ends in less than 5 hours.

Mine still pending. I dont even know if I ordered them right. I did the first show, there was no option for a rollover show. So I went ahead and did it again for the 2nd night, so I have over 300.00 pending.

cordurology

I just called my bank and got some info. Apparently my bank has a 48 hour limit on held funds. The lady I spoke with said, more or less, that 10C still has the authorization to withdraw that $162 from my account.. the bank just is no longer holding it. Didn't really make perfect sense to me, but I guess all I can do now is wait. I sent 10C an email before I placed the phonecall, but I now have reason to believe this is a bank issue, and not a 10C issue. I just hope this all makes sense to 10C and doesn't affect my chances/ability to score the tickets.

Oh well. Sorry for alarming everyone :oops:.

Just make sure that amount stays in your account in the event you get chosen for a show!

cordurology

Thanks, PJ_kidd.

"Just make sure that amount stays in your account in the event you get chosen for a show!"

Haha yeah no kidding.. I don't plan on doing anything with that money til I receive official word from 10C.

Sometimes the "holds" will fall off, then there will be a "hard post" when the funds are actually taken from your account. I wouldn't get too worried just yet.

Relax. nothing will happen with tickets until early next week.

Vedder_Girl77

I think all of us who entered the lottery will be a little bit nervous next week...checking our e-mail every two seconds to see if we got lucky! Since I missed out on getting a signed SDE I'm hoping I get lucky this time around!

HEADS UP PEOPLE!!

My bank released the $166 hold from TC this Saturday morning, and I know it's their bank policy to do that. I'm not freaking out or anything, but I just wanted to let others know so that you realize that just as long as you have entered the lottery, you are still in. But just make sure you have funds available for when the TC does debit your account for the price of the tickets. If it bounces, you're out.

yeah, the bank released the funds back into my account also. i have a feeling there going to stay there. i've never gotten tickets through 10c lotteries before so i sure ain't holding my breath, but at least theres a chance with the public sale.

You guys are to paranoid!! No wonder the 10C isn't returning that many emails lately, why send an email to 10C before calling your bank, why call the bank in the first place?

All banks are like that, some have 48 some others have 72 hour hold, once the 10C runs the credit card they get an authorization code for that amount, now the bank can only hold your funds for a certain period of time, then when 10C is ready to charge your card then run the authorization again and the funds are taken off.

thats why this system sucks... i dont own a credit card, just a visa debit card... i pay for everything with cash... and on a debit transaction the bank will not "hold" a transaction forever, and it will "fall off" quicker then a credit card purchase would

i hope that doesnt screw me up if i get picked


tenclub, you need to rethink this idea... one pair per member for a small tour and small venues is cool... but this whole lottery system is for the "tweet, tweet" birds! the same amount of tix are going to be sold and the same amount of people will get tickets, so whats the point of having me authorize a $169 transaction, freezing up $169 OF MY MONEY for god knows how long, just to find out i dont have tickets after waiting days to find out?

not a fan of this lottery system at all, but i give the 10c credit for trying to make things better. but all this is just a big hassle to most, in my opinion. not to mention $169 of my money has been frozen for 3 days and counting...

I dont understand this concept, if you balance your checking account you shouldn't bounce. I mean if I had spent $160+ in tkts regardless of whether they are on hold or not you should count them as gone until you know you were not picked. no? :?

no offense, but it is easy for you to say "relax" when it is not your money tied up in some random ticket lottery for apparently a week or so...


thanks for the heads up though

the concept is easy... i am not worried about bouncing... i just am not a big fan of handing a business my $169 for days on end, just to have an entry in a random ticket lottery. pretty simple concept if you ask me.

not bitching, just pointing out that some of us do not rely on credit cards, and that tying up people's $ for days on end is not the best idea i have ever seen...

and i am not the only one, i spoke with 4-5 friends of mine that are fans that go to every local show together, and we all agree this system sucks... who wants to wait around for a week to find out if you have a pair of tickets? :roll:

I hope this is not the way the PJ tour tkts is handled but for EV shows which are totally different I think it is a fair way to do it.

As far as giving your funds to a business for "days on end".. when did you buy the opportunity 4 days ago which has only been 3 business days? you kiddin'? The 10C has not taken your funds, all they did was authorize it to make sure the money is there, all you have to do is make you your account has the money available for them to withdraw if you are picked, is not like they are taking the money for something they haven't sold you.

As far as I'm concerned, if this $160 is the end - or even near the end - of the money in your bank account, you probably shouldn't be buying tickets anyways; and that's the only reason why tying up that money for about half a week would be an issue. The high demand makes a lottery system the best way, and in order for a lottery system to work without people backing out on commitments is by doing the authorization. Similarly, they wouldn't take an IOU when you buy a lottery ticket.

It would seem to me that if you go to your order history and you still have those two charges in there, you are still currently in the 10 club system to get these tickets regardless of the banking hold situation. My funds have been released from their hold and do not show up anymore as pending, however the purchasing system is automated throughthe Ten Club, so if I was not chosen I would guess the order in my history would have been removed. Lets all just let it play out.
