    The old priority system made sense way back, when people could only get one show and then were out of the running for others. It's a *terrible* system when you can get multiple shows, because of all the possible algorithms it's one of the most susceptible to situations where some people get six or eight shows and some people get none. I suspect that's why they tried to change it, but the new implementation has definitely encountered... issues. 
    They just used the ‘old’ system in 2020/2022 and it worked fine
    It didn't break, but if anything there were more complaints than this time about "person X got 6 shows and I got zero". "Fine" is in the eye of the beholder. 
    You’re entitled to your opinion but the majority of this board is clearly of the opinion that the most fair way is actually to have priority rankings that every single person intentionally selected be strictly enforced. If someone gets shut out in this system, it is because they picked a really popular show first and lost a dice roll. People can live with that because they at least had a chance at the show that mattered the most to them. If someone else gets 3, 4, 5 shows because they wanted to go to less popular shows and/or got super lucky, again people can at least understand that. 

    Most people seem to prefer a process that is clean and seems fair while still allowing for randomness than a system that overlooks individual priority selections in the interest of engineering a move even ticket distribution. If that is even what is happening, which we have no idea and frankly this fiasco makes me extremely skeptical of. 

    Not sure why you are continuing to swim upstream on this one which is ultimately an opinion issue but you do you.

    Message just received from TM:

    "Thank you for reaching out and we understand you're asking about your ticket request. I apologize as the ticket requests are still being processed. This process is initially taking longer than expected. Please allow us another 48 hours to provide you with an update to your request."

    No way this is all getting sorted by today. 
    If they’re saying 48 hours from now, that goes after  Verified Fan on sale time. Hopefully they can sort it out before that happens, or that’s really bad if people try for those and then end up getting confirmed for 10C tickets after that.

    In regards to if unfulfilled means your out. Expect more confirmations it seems
    Great.  We sweat until midnight.

    I just got notified of Chicago N1 reserved tickets, in the area I would have expected with my seniority. 12:56p eastern

    Had chosen just GA/reserved, and earlier today my order page said "unfulfilled."
    Well that’s encouraging!

    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? 
    It does not.  Name can't be pulled if isn't in the hat.  (where did that text above on show priority come from?)
    From 2020 tour info page but this process for how priority works has always been like this so should still hold true.

    https://help.pearljam.com/hc/en-us/articles/205143590-Pre-sale-Drawing


    This has been explicitly superseded. The text for this process from https://blog.ticketmaster.com/pearl-jam-tour-2023 is:

    I know people don't read stuff, but at the end of the day, it was there and folks can't blame anyone else if they didn't read the announcement details. That said, it's obviously and intentionally vague, meaningless weasel words. People should have expected that it wouldn't work the same as it used to, but nobody had/has any idea how it is in fact meant to work now. 
    That text accurately describes how it has worked in the past though, so it's not saying there's a change.
    I read that bit at time and presumed same. When they made big changes in previous years they would make it more clear than what happened this time.

    Hey, congrats! One is an anecdote, but a few more of those and it definitely starts to lend credence to the theory that in some manner or another, "GA/Reserved" entries didn't cascade into Reserved as expected. 
    No, I do think that happened, and that they are making changes today. Or perhaps that the GA/reserved-only draw didn't happen until now.

    I'm seeing some cranky posters in this thread - that's how I get when i'm hangry - might want to take a break and grab a sandwich perhaps?  
    This.

    You really have almost an endless assortment of sandwiches to choose from, as well.  Anything from a grilled cheese sandwich to hell, even a cheeseburger could fit the description.  Meats, Veggies, Vegan, Pescatarian, gluten free, diet be damned.  There's a sandwich for you out there.  Go and find it.
    Currently consuming a grilled cheese with salami and kraut.

    1st priority?

    Have any other requests as in did you get both Chicagos?

    Chicago 1 was first priority, just got notified of new ticket location, which is worse.  So maybe there are a significant number of tickets going out to people who were originally unfulfilled.

    Second priority. Have not heard anything about my first priority (Chicago 2).

    As of this morning I had the "completed/unfulfilled" status for both.

    Wrong again
    Okey dokey, internet stranger. There have been at least a dozen people saying exactly that about 2022 in this very thread, much less the threads from the time, but keep making random assertions with no evidence contrary to what's right in front of us. Enjoy.  B)
    I have seen no one say this about 2020 or 2022
