I'm sick of seeing the word "seniority".

Why is that? Explain.

I actually have to explain that?

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

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".

I have seniority over you.   Over the years, I have paid way more than you.    But regardless, we still have the same shot at tickets.   Neat, huh?

This isn't a pension pot.

And we both have the same shot at tickets.  What is the problem here?

None. I just want people to stop harping on about "seniority", that's all.

Who is harping on about it, and why does that matter? 

The only time seniority comes into play, is IF you get tickets and IF you get reserved seats.   Then the tickets are distributed by senority first.   There really isnt too much to brag about, otherwise.  

Exactly, you're proving my point. I'm just saying people keep talking about how long they've been in the fan club and essentially saying they should get preferential treatment. Not just here, but people quoting their fan club numbers. Who cares?

Are there seriously people who are saying "I have seniority, I should have better access to tickets than you!"

Correct. Seniority doesn't matter, nor should it for the lottery. However, with 99% odds, you should receive tickets. I checked odds just before pre sale ended and all 99% except for NY and Baltimore

At the risk of being pedantic, that 1% are not going to get tickets.

99% is 100%. They just can't put that there for obvious reasons

Surely at some point 99% has to truly mean 99% no? Just before it hits 98%? I'm not trying to split hairs here, but it can't jump from 100% (masquerading as 99%) down to 98%..

.

.

.

can it?

Yes, at some point 99% briefly does truly become 99%. So for every show it is possible that there is a 1%.

 All I'm saying...Never had an issue getting tickets until THIS tour.
Maybe I've been lucky for 25 years...I don't fucking know.

Regardless, still a bit strange to get shut out of 1 Canadian show when others are getting confirmed for all 4 Canadian shows.

Anyways, looking forward to the new album.
Enjoy your shows..I'm sure I'll eventually get my tickets through Ticketmaster and all will be good.

If not, I'll catch them on the next album tour ...7 years from now... when a whole new ticketing system is in place.


  

Good luck and I hope you secure tickets. Still curious though...what did you submit for?  GA?  And do you think older 10c numbers should get priority over newer members? 

Submitted for Toronto & Hamilton - both for Best Available. Odds showed 99% chance. I know it's not a popular opinion on here...but yeah seniority should  give you a leg up on newer members ; especially if newer members are getting confirmed for 4 Canadian shows when I can't even get confirmed for 1 home town show. Makes zero sense to me.  

Thanks for responding. If you didn’t make a mistake in the process you are only 1 of 2 people that has happened to

Guess I'm in the 1% then because I know there wasn't a mistake. Whatever, I'll get there.

Gonzo...my man....at some point we need to acknowledge that your issue with this ticketing has not been experienced by any of the thousands (?) of fans that have gone through this process over the first day and a half that the lottery has been chugging along. At worst, the system had a glitch that happened to occur to you (we are nearly all sympathetic)....at best (for the rest of the ticket lottery population) you mis-keyed something...this still sucks serious ass because any of us could be guilty of that.  But it is better than the random hand of digital doom descending upon random, unsuspecting 10C members.  

Please accept our hearfelt (and I mean it) 10C family "sorry for your loss"...it sucks....a lot....we would not want it to happen to us.  Now can some admin shut this down....Hey McGruff disparage me in some horribly inappropriate way so this thing is put out of its' misery.

Yes happened to me as well, shut out on 1st priority. Got 2nd priority however but considering I’m staying 10 min from Hamilton arena not impressed I missed that one.

 Definitely not a fool proof system obviously but what can you do, I’ll try my luck on public sale I guess.

Agreed with this.   It sucks.   If this person TRULY didn't mess up on anything (different emails between 10C and TM, bad credit card info, not enough on CC, whatever else)....then they SHOULD ask the 10C what happened.   

I mean, its not like this person was asking for MSG GA and wondering why they dont have tickets.   But yeah, its sounds like this is one of two total cases where someone got shut out, and in neither case could we confirm it was not user error.

I missed the last 6 pages. Where are we at?

Pretty much where we were 6 pages ago. One or two people pissed off they fucked up their entries and now feel 10c owes them something

I have had nothing to do at work this afternoon.  This thread has been a fucking life saver.  Truly, thank you all

Be sure to check out the one where someone was billed twice for the new LP and now thinks they’ll overdraft for tickets. Pure gold. 

Got tickets, but if I didn’t get tickets...

Or the missing singles one where someone has contacted the Attorney Generals Office for the 10c practicing unfair and deceptive business practices.
