We have heard people who put LA1 and LA2 as both BA and lost. Even if they screwed up and entered separately and negated one of the shows, they still should have won or got an email that their cc was declined.

i won LA2 with my third pick.

Perfect starting point. What we need is someone who lost LA2 with a 1st or 2nd priority to get an answer and report back. So far *every* person who has actually followed up reported a user error of some kind. That's why people are assuming this first in the other circumstances.

If it were me, I would hound TM/10C until I got a satisfactory response. They'd need to either tell me what I did wrong or cop to the mistake. It's possible something in the system screwed up, but seeing the sheer volume of confusion and (to some extent) stupidity in these threads, I'd want to see some actual evidence before I blame the system.

So does anyone think getting tickets on the public sale (Baltimore or NYC) will be possible this time around?

Where is that graphic someone made with the odds just before the lottery closing? I have searched and searched but there is so much to wade through now.

If St. Louis closed at 99%, either the odds calculation does not take all entries, regardless of priority, into account anymore (I did not see info on this changing for Ticketmaster, only pointing to the old 10C system), or St. Louis was flawed in Ticketmaster's system. Based on the email issue last night, guessing it was flawed in some way (number of tickets they had available was overstated, or some other issue(s)).

It sounds like several people did not realize they had to prioritize the shows on the screen that listed all of the shows they selected (I believe they were shown chronologically, rather than the order you selected them, and then you had to drag and drop to rearrange). Also putting the odds in the email you receive after making your picks threw people off. But at 99%, second or third or even later priorities should not have been rejected at this rate for St. Louis. I personally got 1 show with first priority and feel grateful for that, but I think that rules out user error for a later priority at 99%.

I do like this new system in theory (the best available option and the ability to resell at face value online).

I believe this is a large source of confusion where people THINK they got GA with their 4th pick. It was in fact their first pick and they didn't realize it.

This x 100.

Yes, please check the emails you received after your most recent entry. That entry voids any previous entry and also has your true prioritizations.

I think if we changed our entries before with the 10C system we had to cancel, then received an email about canceling, so it was clear you had to resubmit everything. This would help this new system, I think.

I was trying to soften it, but there have been quite a few "I'll tell ya what's goin' on here..." posts that are so mind-crushingly dumb that the poster should be put on time out until the ticket sales are over. You just watch the misinformation take off in real time and want to pull your hair out.

Possible but exceedingly difficult in light of supply/demand/bots

Possible? Yes. Difficult? Also yes, unfortunately.

Yup. The combination of inaccuracy and absolute, unquestioned self-assuredness is a marvel to behold.

Doesn’t it seem funny as well that the first 2 days seemed to go smoothly?

And that the Nashville and St. Louis drawings yesterday seemed to spark all of this

Yeah, I can’t understand how the lottery worked.... my friend put iin for several shows that were at 99% and chose reserved seats.... not sure how he missed out on those shows🤔

Ya that seems weird. I know two people who put BA on their 1st and only choice and got it. During the Canadian draw it seemed the people who got shut out picked GA only. I didn't however read every comment.

We live in a world of alternative facts so this is what we get now.

I saw a fair number of complaints on days 1 and 2. Maybe the cumulative effect makes it seem worse?

I love that the genuine expert never reaches the confidence level of the buffoon. Teachers everywhere nod.

Only because they wrote the instructions in Canadian.
