Again: nobody here knows how the process is actually happening. Some people have a very strong opinion on how it "should" be happening, and to that, I'll just paste this again: 

For the people who think the "only reasonable" way to do it is to pull from priority 1 for a city, then if there's any left, pull from priority 2, etc. Consider these two people's preference sets in order:

Person A: Austin, St. Paul, Noblesville

Person B: Chicago, Austin, St. Paul, Noblesville. 

If Chicago has high demand and Person B does not get it, and Austin, St. Paul, and Noblesville all have enough seats for pretty much everyone in priority 1 and not much else, it's entirely likely that Person A gets all three of their picks, while Person B gets zero because they put Chicago first, maybe because they live in Chicago and would prefer not to travel if possible. Who knows. Personally, I find that an extraordinarily unfair system. I'm not saying a system with some other outcome is necessarily better, but I'm saying this "obvious" "only reasonable" system is not at all that. 

I respectfully disagree.  Please try to explain logically how someone that put Chicago as his or her 3rd, 4th or 5th priority, regardless of what his or her 1st and 2nd priority were, would get selected for Chicago tickets over someone that put in a total of two requests, both of which were Chicago, and received zero tickets. 

That happens because this is a lottery system. That's what a lottery is. Luck. Some of us won't get chosen at all for one show. Others will win everything they put in for. I really think a lot of y'all are overthinking tf out of this.

Then that’s a poorly designed system. The goal of the 10c ticket system should be to get as many members to at least 1 show (I don’t even care if the location was random rather than by seniority), clearly that’s not the case.

so if someone gets Austin Night 1 and it was their fourth choice.... and it was my second choice, it stands to reason that i should be getting tickets, right?

Logically yes…..actually…..no idea.

If your name doesn’t get randomly pulled then it doesn’t matter what priority you listed or your seniority.  Your name never getting pulled means no tickets. 

Once again. This is fake news. Priority gets first consideration. It's on the FAQ. 

NO IT ISN'T. I quoted the FAQ last time you said this! Again: "To level the playing field, ticket requests are fulfilled in a randomized selection process while still considering show priority." 

"While still considering show priority" is not REMOTELY similar to "Priority gets first consideration." Not remotely!

Have to agree here. This is why people with lower priority are getting picked. 

Yes it is what IS happening.

It is not what is supposed to be happening.  Ticketmaster is doing it wrong.  That is the point

Doing it this way also completely would f up seating by seniority too.

Maybe I missed something, but it was understanding that choosing GA / Reserved was giving you the same odds of getting a reserved seat as choosing just "Reserved". That is how I understood the information. I was also concerned that choosing both "GA / Reserved" and "Reserved"  may result in being disqualified etc. As such, my wife, close friend and I all choose "GA /  Reserved" for  St Paul nights 1 and 2. We all go shut out which is very strange as some folks are getting St Paul as their 4th or 5th choice. It appears that choosing both "GA / Reserved" and "Reserved" increased your odds of getting a seat. 

Regardless a very disappointing and confusing day

Show me the FAQ.

If you don't get picked in the lottery for a certain show you dont get tix for that show. Priority comes into play only if you were picked in the lottery followed by seniority when it comes to seat assignment.

Ok so in your world, why are the seats given out in groups based on show and GA/reserved? If your way was the way it was intended to be run, wouldn’t we see random tickets from shows being released throughout the day?

They probably do the draws on the biggest venues, first, and as it widows down to the smaller shows, people are still getting whatever chance they put in for

For what it's worth, this is what I got back. I asked 15 minutes ago if I was still in the running.

For those still waiting

Leonel sounds very knowledgeable.

I know you’re trying to help and it isn’t over until it’s over.
