For those wondering if you should have the tickets in your account yet, I went back to the 2022 shows confirmation emails. Tickets were delivered 2 days after shows were confirmed.
i put GA/Res as my only pick. I only wanted GA, so when others talked about clicking both GA/Res and Res, I said no way! That could screw me some how. Ended up wit Res.
Did the same with wife's account, only checking GA/Res, and got GA
Point is no way was I going to check both boxes, just didn't make sense and still doesn't

Until someone convinces me otherwise, I am going to believe that they ran the prior algorithm as normal and that some people who lost GA were not automatically placed into the Reserved lottery as advertised. There was then a snowball effect that affected all other entries. GA entries went perfectly smooth, and Reserved seats were a disaster - this is the best explanation.
A few people may have gotten lucky and were placed into the Reserved lotto, but I am going with this until someone at 10C says otherwise.
This appears to have a high probability of being accurate. Unfortunately the instructions given were to essentially choose all ticket options so many folks end up in that "affected all other entries" bucket.
Yeah. I only chose GA/RES because, well, it just made sense as someone who has done plenty of these lotteries in the past. Once again, poor communication from 10c (shocking to no one)
I agree... wasn't our first rodeo... we selected GA/RES with the notion that if we were not selected in the GA pool... we would be placed in a pool along with the rest of priority one RES. It makes no sense to even select the RES option as well... It's like putting a hat on top of a hat.
This was my error... I guess I didn't read the fine print enough, I didn't realize you could choose both. I thought it was one or the other.
If the option was one or the other, GA or RES, I would have gone the latter route. Pulled a GA for St Paul N2, so I'm not complaining.
I feel for the people who had tickets only to get the cancellation email later... I know that feeling and it blows.
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.
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.
I am not arguing that at all.
Ticketmaster said on the selection screen: “ In order to increase your chance of getting tickets, please select all of the seat preferences you would be willing to accept.”
Yet people decided they knew better and didn’t follow the instruction.
Again, it’s clear they fucked up, but ignoring that definitely didn’t help some people here.
It’s clear if you want lawn, reserved, behind stage etc. it’s not saying there is a discernible difference between selecting ga or reserved and reserved
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.
And there it is in plain English again. This continues to be overlooked by a few posters here who "know how a lottery works" when the rest of us are supposedly schmucks. Priority #5 should not get seats to the same show Priority #1 struck out on. Plain and f'n simple.
That's from 2020. The current text is this:
Ahhhh.....good find. Well "randomized selection process" is about as vague as you can get.
For those saying “Ticketmaster said to click all options”
This was also said. So I don’t think that’s a reasonable argument.
What else is "If not selected for GA, members will then be entered for Reserved" supposed to mean??

Makes no sense, but they told you on that screen how to improve your chances. I’m sorry it played out this way.
Okay… im done in here… the way it worked out and people ignoring prompts will never make sense.

More TM issues for Chance the Rapper at UC in Chicago. Comedy of errors.
Yeah, I was having trouble with Billy Strings tickets about 55min ago. Seems to be resolved now. And those who came back at just the right time got hooked up!
At this point, they should push it all back a week and start all over. Rework the system so at least Ticketmaster understands what they’re doing

Trying to keep up here, but has anyone heard about lawn? I put in Indy for all options first priority and I'm seeing that if I'm "unfulfilled" that I'm out?
At this point I'm just ready to play the F2F game, but curious if anyone had heard, and sorry if I missed it.

my thought is it should not be up to them to "improve my chances to get in" Tha'ts up to me. If I want to improve my chances, I would check reserved. If I want to get GA, its on me if I miss out. Are they my parents now?

I hear ya. Going away from the prior model was a quick and dirty way to sell more nose bleeds that has quickly backfired and frustrated an entire fan base

I got this reply from Ticketstoday just now when I asked about my order status still showing as confirmed, and haven't been reassigned seats:
Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand that you're wondering about your ticket orders.

Thank you 10C for acknowledging and working to fix the seating issues for those 3 venues.
It is appreciated!
What is being fixed? Just reassignment of seat allocations to the “winners”? Or are they fixing the problem of members not even getting a chance at seats cause they picked only ga/Res?
I picked the GA/RES and got in to my priority 1/2 in res, I am not sure all info in this forum is 100% accurate with priorities, selections, etc.
for example did people put in for both GA and Res only thinking the got a double chance and not get anything because they lost the pit option and then their RES went to a lower priority? Are ppl really being truthful with their posts? Without screenshots to prove you really don’t know.
Finally, did someone with a lower priority win because that show simply did not have enough demand?
Based on my results, I can’t see how things went bad for u unless u didn’t follow directions and tried to take systen by selecting GA/Res and Res option, which likely hurt you.
I was 2 for my last 13 10c lotteries before i got all 3 choices yesterday ... and while the reasons some people lost suck, after 24 hours I never cared about why I lost ... just that I lost.
I've moved on to now trying to guess whether my Chicago seat locations will get better or worse. I had section 234 both nights with 404xxx (GA/Res as first option and Reserved as 2nd) ... and i actually think that seems like a logical place for my number but who knows how it will change.
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.
