Official EV Earthling Tour Lottery & Verified Fan Freak Out Thread

I have yet to get a declined email. Am I for sure toast or do I have the day? The last I saw the Ticket Request Page there was no decline there either.

Well I didn’t read the fine print and didn’t register for verified fan just Ten Club so I’m boned. It happens. Enjoy it. Should be amazing!

Same. Oh well. Will spend s day in Chicago this Saturday instead for less than these tickets and still have a hell of a day. A win either way. 

I haven't received an email for Chicago either. I Also didn't read the fine print on the verified fan portion and didnt register so far a double whammy for me. Im new to the new Ticketmaster system just wondering If I didnt register for verified fan does that mean I cant try for tickets when they go onsale for the general public?

The Chicago TM page is showing "General Onsale" in addition to Verified Fan, as well as "Official Platinum", so there will be tickets available to anyone (Platinums will be significantly marked up).  And Chicago has to allow resale, so those will pop up as well, maybe not on TM, but at least on Stubhub, etc

https://www.ticketmaster.com/eddie-vedder-and-the-earthlings-chicago-illinois-02-09-2022/event/07005B7AB0C33CEB

So are there a certain alottment of tickets set aside for each of the Verified Fan and General onsale?  They are showing the same date and time.

I don’t even know if I did this correct. I registered but I guess I only registered for verified fan? Was there another registration for the lottery? I kind of don’t care. I’d be freaking if this was PJ. 

Two separate lotteries.  One for 10C presale.  Other for Verified Fan.  Sounds like you didn't register for the 10C lottery that was done yesterday.

Got it. Thanks! I won’t even be trying during public sale. No point Verified or not. 

No prob.  I'm with you.  No interest in messing with VF or public sale. 

"All tickets on this tour are reserved seating. Ten Club seating assignments for Eddie Vedder solo shows are not seniority based.
Instead, seats are assigned at random and mixed in with the general public".

This fine print gives me hope now that I struck out in the 10c round. (As long as I get chosen, and score with VF that is.....)

Unless your credit card was charged, you are 100% toast.

If charged you should be golden ? 

Correct.  Like a bar of shimmering gold.

Same here! lol. I'm a bit upset because EV solo was a bucket list show for me, but $240 is a lot of money.

Although I'm disappointed in missing out on the lottery and happy for those that were able to secured tickets, I will say, I don't miss all the BS that accompanies going through the process with Ticketmaster etc.  For those of us that have been with the fan club for decades now, and F5'd for hours & hit refresh countless times, you get the hassle that has gone on for years and years, and yet it still amazes me that they can't figure this shit out (the process of ordering tickets and communicating clearly).  Is it really that difficult and complex? Or is it rather that they don't give an "F" because they know we are all so willing and desperate to do whatever we can to see our favorite band and they know it, so why fix it and spend the time and money to make our experience of purchasing a slight bit more manageable and enjoyable - they got us?  This is coming from someone that is 100% "willing" and "desperate" to see the band any chance I get - lol.  I understand it is taboo to talk about the flippers and secondary market around here, but I completely understand how someone with resources would rather pay a broker than deal with this BS - Your time becomes more valuable than money at a certain point.  Not complaining about not getting tickets, just really disappointed that the folks in charge have not heard the plight and addressed the issues after all this time.

I didn't try for tickets here but my experience has been the TM lotteries are quick and easy. Login, enter your info, pick your shows and priorities, and then wait. That's it.
