Curious about this since I have seen so many people say they had no luck with Chicago and Boston. We all saw with the verified fan sale what kind of seats should have been left over with the general sale. There were a lot of not so hot seats that were not in the mix for the presales. I find it odd not many people got a chance at those.

    Was only trying to help out a friend and both Fenway and Wrigley were honest that only very limited tickets would be left for the public sales today. So I'm that not upset. It was what it was advertised to be.

    Still...virtual waiting rooms suck! :lol:

    Awful. Prague O2 show this year had the same thing except it showed you were you were on the list. Ticketmaster is much better where at least there is a small amount of skill involved.

    I just don't think there were many tickets left or actually available today. Gone before they went on sale.

    Tell me about it...was "waiting" for Radiohead presale tickets this morning...nadda. Now the fun begins on Saturday when the regular TM sales happens. It really makes me appreciate what the 10c does here with the lottery. No (active) stress when trying to get tickets...yes, the waiting for the confirmation puts many of us (myself included) on edge but that's nothing compared to trying to secure tickets during regular on-line sales these days.

    Surprised they're not resurrecting "Conigliaro's Corner" and airlifting metal bleachers onto the right field roof at Fenway. Those were great seats if you like ducking out of the way of inbound Delta flights.

    Definitely disappointed in the general public sale. Went into the waiting room and then got the “congrats you have been selected” icon. Clicked on that to buy tickets. It asked me to pick my level. I selected the only one available and for two tickets. No go. Told me they didn’t have enough for my quantity. So I selected one ticket. Same message. If you don’t have even one ticket and only have one price level why let me in?

    I feel like there just wasn't any. I got a "tickets will be available soon" screen for two minutes and then there was none.
    Not even a tease!

    By the time tickets are available to the public there are very few available in the first place. Fan club + promoter tickets + venue tickets + season ticket presale = generally less than 20-25% of the tickets are even available. Millions of people, and bots, going after thousands of tickets. Chances were always slim to none.

    Article about the Missoula show said only 1200 of 24,000 tickets were available today ... so 5%.  My guess would be similar figures for Wrigley and Fenway ... and probably just the shittiest seats

    I was trying for a friend today to no avail. I couldn't be more grateful to have successfully secured all of my tickets prior to them going to the general public sale. Bravo 10C!

    I got tix through 10C and bought 2 more for friends through verified.  Figured I'd get nosebleed 300 level rather than nothing.  Glad I did, because there was no chance today.

    I had 2 wheelchair/handicap accessible pop up for Seattle night 2, section 342 but I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to use them.  I thought that if a show was completely sold out, then the general public could use handicap section but I checked Ticketmaster policy for "Can I buy handicapped tickets if I am not disabled" and they say no.  I wondered if I could rent a wheelchair and risk it but thought that would be poor form and let them go.

    I'm not complaining, since I got tickets to both Seattle shows and Boston night 2. But Boston night 1.... man. I didn't get a shot at anything through the TM presale -- and I talked to someone I know who said that she and seven friends entered the Verified Fan presale and none of them were drawn in the lottery. I guess since there are no NYC or Philly shows this time, the entire East Coast and part of Europe is trying to get Fenway tickets.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
