    So let's review this ticketing system.
    You get an email alerting you to PJ fan club pre-sale. You immediately log into your PJ.com account, follow all of the instructions, pick the show and seating arrangement that best fits your schedule, give your payment information. You get an email, saying Thanks...we'll get back to on Sunday and let you know if you get tickets. Then you get an email telling a couple days later....Sorry demand was high.

    On top of that, someone can receive the same alert, log in the NEXT DAY, request tickets for 3 SHOWS, get an email telling them that they are confirmed for ALL 3 SHOWS

    In what backwards fucking alternative universe does this seem fair to anyone ? 
       
    It's a fair system, you seem to have difficulty accepting it.

    I think it is very fair. Not everybody is at their computer the second the email is sent out. Some people need to see the tour schedule, talk to spouse, make plans etc. Sometimes those plans take longer than 3 minutes

    My alternative universes do not include backward fucking.

    Perhaps I need to be more creative in my daydreaming.

    No one requested shows after you were notified that your request was unsuccessful. Everyone had the same window of time to submit their requests.

    I am trying to remember if I did that as well and have no idea. I remember putting my email when I first signed up, but after that, I changed my show choices a few times. I have no idea if I had to go thru the whole billing process again or not? and if so, if I put in my tenclub or ticketmaster email. Either way, it should NOT affect tickets. If so, that is ridiculous. Once you get your passcode, you should be able to buy tickets, simple as that
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It was in the instructions, man. They need a unique identifier for you. Don't know what else to say.
    Right. I received the password so wouldn't that be the unique identifier??? You get a password, you should be able to get tickets. Simple as that
    Until people who arent going to put in for tickets give out their password to non members. I think that was the point of the email verification.
    But if I was going to give my code to someone else, why wouldn't I just also tell them what email address I use for the club?
    True. Maybe it was so they cant use a robot to randomly guess numbers and that they must match, I dont know. But it seemed it was for verification purposes and it clearly said enter your 10C email, not just any email.

    Isn't that like saying "I think I should have a better chance at winning the PowerBall because I entered my numbers on Monday morning and you entered yours on Wednesday evening right before the drawing" ?
    Not really how it works.

    Its totally fair dude.  Every member has a CHANCE at tickets.  If you chose BA or reserved you should win for all shows except maybe NY and Baltimore

    Yes, because it makes no sense.  That or you don't have any, which then I could see it would be irritating.

    Lessons learned from the new system:

    1. Go back to all seats
    2. Ditch the odds
    3. Close the forums until all tickets have been distributed and seat locations revealed

    It's the only way this will work. We've been given choice and information and it just short circuits everyone.

    Sounds like they did exactly what they said they were going to do.

    If you think it's more fair to allocate tickets on a first-come-first-served basis, you're in luck. They're going to do just that next Thursday & Friday. Have fun.

    They give you 3 days to enter your picks.  In what way would it be fair to ONLY accept the people who happened to be at their desks hitting refresh to learn that a new album and tour were announced, and you have 15 seconds to enter you picks?

    They give everyone 3 days to enter their picks.  Just because you immediately picked your picks on day one....that should not give you priority over someone who was not able to put their picks in until the next day.  Or the 3rd day.  

    And if you pick MSG GA ONLY, and the other person picks "Best Available" for Oklahoma City, Quebec, and Ottawa.....sorry. 

    Again, I dont know your picks, but some shows are harder to get than others.

    It also makes no sense that we have to get personal about it, so quit the arrogance.

    Seniority is stupid because it's fundamentally irrelevant. People saying "I have this number" and boasting some sort of entitlement over other fans is pathetic. I pay the same amount of money as you, so we both should have equal opportunity in getting tickets.

    So THERE, that's why I hate the constant spitting of "seniority".

    Anyone know why picking GA only lessens your chance of being selected even when it was 99% odds, and does member number come into play at all (under 420,000)?  I picked one show (Quebec City) GA only (99%) and was not selected, very bummed!
    Because QC GA ended at 75% odds
    And the ending odds are what maters not the odds you see when you put in your submission.
    So PT276628, you probably saw the odds at 99% when you entered the lottery, but the odds are fluid until the lottery closes.
