    Wife got approved for verified fan, which I think is odd, because my account history is full of tickets for concerts I bought and used.   I think she's maybe bought 2 or 3 pairs on hers.. lol.  oh well.. sliver of hope.

    Not to feed into this more... but if some requests say "denied" and others say "received"... it would seem like received is still in the running...
    Here is my guess as to what’s going on; someone can correct me if their experience disproves this:

    My first request (Beacon 2) says denied, my second request (Beacon 1) says received. I believe that second request is as good as denied as there is no way N1 is making it to second priority requests. My suspicion is that yesterday they processed all of the first priority requests across all the shows, and sent out confirmations for those who won. Then they took the requests links down for some reason (I don’t really have a theory as to why) and now they’re back at work processing the second, third, etc. priority requests. So we might see some confirmations today if there are shows where a non-first priority win is possible, but it won’t be a lot. Then once they’re done sorting through the non-first requests all of us losers will get the official “ya burnt” emails. 
    My experience from last tour was they pick a name and then if your priority 1 was available you would get that and if it was sold out they would go to priority 2 and so forth until they exhausted your choices. So it seemed to me they go by person until all is sold out and not put everyone with NY1 in a hat and draw. Because I know I got a show with priority 2 that others had as priority 1 and they didn’t get tickets. 

    If this makes sense

    Wow, so basically if you are in 10C you just went from VIP to out in the cold waiting for a slot to open up.  Brutal.  #WaitlistSucks

    Already got my tickets for TC pre-sale, but also got selected for Verified Fan pre-sale... So the ticket gods have smiled upon me. Am I allowed to give my code to someone else for that show? Or is it tied to my account?

    From memory, Pretty sure it’s tied to your account and not transferable. Could be wrong.

    I think it is tied to your account. At least they were for the last tour.

    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 did want to bring this back to the forefront as well as this is how I feel.  This process could be so much "Cleaner" and "Painless" and it just seems like every tour there are more questions than answers.  There is more confusion than people getting tickets.  There is more frustration than there is joy.  Again, I don't mind to lose a lotto or not get selected to Verified Fan, but this whole week long process to sell 25,000 tickets seems like a relic of the past.  Ticketmaster is used to selling MILLIONS of NHL or NBA tickets when the seasons go on sale in one day.  Why does it take a week to sell 8 theater shows?  Why the long drawn out process.  Just tell me yes or no.  How come I get my waitlist email from Verified Fan before I even get my Denial email from 10C, seems like they are doing things out of order.  Which only adds to the frustration and questioning of the whole process.

    We are all so into this band, even though every tour is just painful and makes me feel dirty getting tickets.  There has to be a better path forward.

    technically it didn't take a week. There was 5 days for people to get the email and signup.  It's most likely that they processed the fan club tickets in a single afternoon.  We're all holding out hope maybe there's some left to be allocated, but chances are yesterday was it.  So basically it took them an afternoon.  I guess the complaint is the length of time it's taking to send out a denied email and because verified fan starts the next day, the verified fan emails are coming out before the denied emails.

    I guess it would be nice if the denied emails came out sooner, but everything else seems to be rather timely?  Had til saturday to enter the draw, draw occured on the tuesday, denied emails are lagging :(
