    So if you’re lucky enough to get a code, that code is tied to specific venue you chose?

    I signed up for the verified fan but I forgot what priority I did.  I'm hoping that I had Baltimore first since that's the one I'm really hoping to get.

    the code is only good for the show you requested.  if it does work for another show you will probably lose those tickets.  get what you requested if you get the code tonight.

    If we get through the que and able to select tickets, is there be an option to select best available or will we need to select the seats e.g. using the map).  It's been awhile since I did verified fan and in the past I was held up by trying to make individual seat selections and missed. Trying to see if there is a faster option. Thanks for help.
    You are brought to a map and my recommendation is DO NOT USE IT to select the tickets you want. You will get a message:

    "Sorry another fan got those tickets"

    On the right side of the screen you can select purchase best available and I recommend you go that route. 
    God I hate the map. I've had to use it several times and have never seen the best available option (there will be a list on the right hand side that you can sort by either "cheapest" or "best available", but I haven't seen a button I could press to just give me the best tickets that are unspoken-for at that moment). 
    Yes, when the ticket map comes up on the right side of screen, click the section/seat description of the tickets you want (I believe the default ranking of those tickets is best available) and hit submit. DO NOT WASTE TIME on this screen or you will get the dreaded-

    "Sorry another fan got those tickets"

    It is absolutely maddening. l
    I've had this happen before and it is maddening.  I also see only "lowest price" or "best seats" on the right hand side.  So you still have to click on a seat, just not in the map (I'm just looking up a another concert that is currently on sale right now).  So are you saying to click on "best seats" and just choose the top and that is the best way?  I don't see anything else that is just to click on a "best available" box and hit submit (like it was before the map function ever existed).
    Ticketmaster is like whack-a-mole now the way you select seats, or try to.  The "sorry another fan beat you to those tickets" is going to be a popular complaint around here the next few days.

    Is there any way you can tell which show you signed up for?  I'm not sure if I picked MSG or Baltimore.  I have the registration e-mail but it doesn't say.

    Is there not a best available option on Ticketmaster? If not, this is going to be a disaster

    My experience with VF when you get the text it will have the code and what show. Also wouldn’t surprise me if the code works for any show.

    If that’s the case tho, why bother having people set priorities for shows?
