Im thinking that this is why they were doing a mini tour.  As a test run with the new process for a larger tour next year. 

I’m sorry but they didn’t plan a tour to test a ticketing system lmao that’s insane 

I phrased that wrong, but what I am saying is...they planned a tour, yes.  They knew they were going to do some shows.  However, this is the first time we have seen "GA and Reserved" as an option, with "Reserved Only" as another option.  

My guess is that they decided to see how this would work on this smaller tour, rather than roll this out untested on a larger, multi-country album tour. 

Stop looking at your ticket status. That page means absolutely nothing right now. They pulled the plug. They didn’t even finish their wack ass process. They basically started over. I wouldn’t dig too deep into your ticket status in a link. Until you get that email win or lose at this point anything is game

Are people suggesting the GA/Reserved is in any way the same as Reserved?  I thought those were two totally different options where GA/Reserved = Floor (either seated or standing) and Reserved is seated bowl.  So if someone put GA/Reserved as their only option and didn't win, many people with lower priorities would win Reserved instead of them because they were not part of that lottery.

That's not what it said. It said that if you weren't selected for GA you would be put in the pool for Reserved. But, apparently, that didn't happen?

The Reserved choice was supposed to be for those that only wanted Reserved, did not want GA.

Totally agree. That's why I only chose GA&Reserved. Because choosing also Reserved did not make sense to me since it was explained that choosing the first option was already included.

But why take that risk? It said clear as day to select both options for best chances. They told you and you still thought, nah, they must be crazy. 

They are proving to be crazy, but ignoring that prompt is wild to me.

What if clicking all boxes somehow glitched you out of the chance on getting GA since you chose RES only as an option. We would be having the exact same discussion on the opposite side. 

That’s a different issue. Ticketmaster told us how to improve odds and people ignored it. Not the same as they told us how to improve our odds, we all followed instructions, but something else messed up.

Wish one of the moderators would jump in and put an end to speculation. 

I doubt it. Because it clearly didn't work as intended. I've always understood it as #1 picks al get put into a pool together. If any tickets are left, then it goes to #2 picks, and so on. That's how it was explained before, and that's what it looks like it says this time.
If what people are posting is true, then that didn't happen. I don't see them coming out and clarifying something that didn't go as planned.

Person 1 chooses Chicago N1 & N2 as their number 1 and 2 priority with only reserved seats & doesn't win
Person 2 chooses Chicago N1 & N2 as their number 3 & 4 priority with only reserved seats & wins

^ this scenario is littered all over this thread - it makes zero sense

Person 2 was selected as a lottery winner so they get tickets, and Person 1 was not selected in the lottery and gets no tickets.

Then why have a priority selection?  Makes zero sense to select them based on the person and not the priority of the show that was selected. You have night one Chicago - you put everyone who selected that as priority 1 into a lottery and you pull names.  IF tickets still remain you go to a lottery for priority 2 choices.

How they ran stuff is a mess, it’s clear, but people willingly disregarding choosing both could not have helped. 

But you are improving your odds since you are selecting GA and RES as apposed to just RES. The bump in the odds being increased  lies on the fact GA is making your chances on getting in the building better. 

Choosing to be in the RES lotto in two different boxes if you strike out on GA should not increase your RES odds in anyway shape or form.

So if I'm reading this correctly, no one beyond priority 1 should have gotten seats until all 1s were fulfilled, or the allotment was exhausted. 

Yeah, seems like someone made a boo-boo.

But I think your name has to be pulled first so yes someone with a priority 2 could win over a 1 because 1’s name never got pulled.  Does this make sense? 

If that's the case, that's messed up. 

Am I crazy to think that they should continue to draw only from the 1s until either them or the tickets are exhausted. Then move on from there if tickets remain, and all 1s have gotten in.

I mean, we're putting it as #1 for a reason.

Nope, fully agree

I am not arguing that at all.

That's not how it was explained and not how it worked before. All priority 1 are entered into the lottery first. Only when all priority 1s have tickets, do they move to priority to.  That's how it worked before and that'd how the instructions read.

This is what I was initially concerned about when submitting my entries. Ultimately I decided to select both options based on 10c’s response to an email I sent. 

I would not put much stock in what a random Ticketmaster Customer service person has to say about the issue.  No offense to them at all, but I dont they are probably not keen on what is happening.  I'd trust the 10C to give you a better answer.

Do you know where this is posted? Source?

I don't know. These things aren't in our control. I'm just going to log off and come back later while this shitstorm sorts itself out. Lots of speculation, time, energy, and frustration. Yep, they f'd up. Yes, ultimately it's all about making money for the ticket powers that be. What else is new? The music business has been nothing but chaos since the beginning of time. But it doesn't really do any good to stress about it. It just takes the energy, fun and excitement we have about seeing the band in the first place. Maybe we need to start talking about subs again!

Ding ding ding...winner.

I mean - the other way you'd have many people getting many tickets simply because the person was chosen not the priority of the show
