    So it looks like seniority now comes into play just to get tickets, not just seat placement?

    if that’s the case, why would they even say the presale is open to folks who became Members by Wednesday? I mean those people will have zero shot, right?

    No 

    It is just seat placement.

    I think both tickets will be tough but putting St Paul as your first pick is definitely the best bet for getting in GA. Choosing Chicago night 2 with all options as a second pick has a small chance of at least getting you side/rear seats 
    Thanks! Ah how I miss the good ole days when they used to have the ticket odds tool!

    They'll have a different shirt for each night. 
    Thanks Jojo.  Man you were up late and and now getting up early.  Glad they have the shirts for each night.  Posters are cool but I think I like the shirts even better.

    They'll be an outside merch truck the day of the show that usually opens around 1:00 but people will start lining up early in the morning. As far as inside the arena, you'll want to go in as soon as doors open in order to get one. There's only a limited supply and the merch stands will sell out of them. A limited number will also be available online after the tour. 
    A line for posters can be a multiple hour affair. If you are really interested in the city, you might be better off spending time doing sight seeing. In Nashville, my son had no desire to wait in the line. He wanted to see all of the music history spots. We showed up about an hour early before doors opened to an arena entrance. Merch stand was immediately inside the doors. I scored a poster easily. Same deal in St. Louis.

    I had a similar deal in Charlotte 2013, but missed the posters on the inside. That one went quick! Had to snag it on the open market a couple months later.

    Check the poster out day of online and then make a choice based on how bad you want it.

    Anyone have an expectation as to how far back seats will actually go? Specifically thinking of the 300 level at the United Center in particular.

    I read the note below as will go farther back than normal, but then also include the best seats in the house so as to not spook anyone lol.

    curious to see if what others are expecting the range of Ten Club tickets to be based on the maps and announcement wording.

    From Announcement

    Reserved - Seating:
    Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club and will start closest to the stage extending back and include seats down on the arena floor. In order to accommodate as many Ten Club members as we can, be aware Ten Club seated tickets will be spread farther back into the uppermost levels, and include some of the best seat locations in the house.

    They had odds the first time they ran the sale through TM but in that instance a bunch of shows said 99% and yet tons of people were shut out.  So rather than fixing the error in the odds system, they scrapped it.

    Seating has only ever applied to seating. The urban legend that seniority was used to determine who got tickets is just that. It's never helped anyone secure tickets, only get good seat location.

    That’s helpful, yeah I re-joined like a year ago so not much better.

    Hoping to secure tickets for Chicago Night 1 and hoping for anywhere in lower level or club (middle balcony) (excluding rear/side). 

    With demand where it’ll likely be though, even scoring upper level is likely worthwhile.

    Does anybody remember what the Ticketmaster map looked like for the Ten Club for the shows last year as in was entire arena except behind stage highlighted or just select portions?

    As example, was the section in the yellow box all highlighted for the 2022 tour?

  • josevolutionjosevolution Posts: 31,470
    So it really doesn’t matter how you prioritize your seating preference! I chose GA/Reserved & Reserved I’d prefer reserved but since GA will be drawn 1st and left over folks getting put into Reserved pool it really doesn’t matter if I would of put Reserved 1st no?

    No. Seniority always applied to seat location once you secured tickets, nothing to do with securing tickets.

    I was a member previously in 2006 and can confirm that it was entirely seniority based because a lottery was not necessary. They were able to accommodate all requests and used to have a little ticket that you clicked to get tickets and then it would be gone when supply was exhausted (most people had no issue).

    Once Ten Club grew to the point where newer members routinely got shut out, that’s when I think the lottery came in to make it more accessible for newer members.

    I can remember the ticket icon almost looked like a golden ticket from Willy Wonka lol in those days (2006).

    Yeah, member since 98 and this sounds familiar, been through a few changes so I can't remember everything but I do remember being shut out on a Chicago show when it first went to lottery, that sucked, it was the first time that happened.

    Sorry, yes, to clarify I meant that once you got your ticket, it was seniority based and getting the ticket, at least from what I remember wasn’t overly challenging outside of things like the Vic show.

    was not a request essentially.

    either had tickets or didn’t.

    What do you mean you could get both?  If interested in GA  but want best chance of landing tickets regardless, you put in for GA/Reserved  and Reserved.  Essentially, you're selecting best available with best chance of landing tickets even if not chosen for GA.  At least that's what it says when on the page to check the boxes. 
    You can’t get both. You only get 2 tickets per show 
  • KevinmanKevinman Atlanta, GA USA Posts: 1,921
    Guess I was wrong.  It must have just been the increase in membership that made it harder to get tickets, it was never easy but less competition I guess.
