My re-assigned seats were much better. My membership #88XXX.

Priority was 9/5 then 9/7.
Selected Ga/Reserved & Reserved

Original:
Chicago 9/5 = Sec 112, Row 19, Seats 20 - 19
Chicago 9/7 = Sec 112, Row 16, Seats 4 - 3

Reassigned:
Chicago 9/5 = SEC1, Row 1, Seats 11 - 12
Chicago 9/7 = SEC3, Row 2, Seats 11 - 12

Well, good to see someone happy with their seats, lol. Row 1 on the floor should be pretty sweet.

I got tickets for Chicago but they are in the 3rd level of the stadium. What happened to reserving the best seats for 10c?

*Best seats after Premium

Let’s say UC has 20,000 seats. 2,000 to Premium, 1,000 to friends/family/insiders, 2,000 to TM VF on sale. That leaves perhaps 15,000 to 10C so they could fulfill pairs for 7,500 members. Among these are all the GA, much of the floor and it appears members with numbers below 200XXX got 100 level (with some exceptions that will hopefully be rectified). So numbers under 300xxx got club and then more recent members got 300 level (in an easier process than waiting in the TM Waiting Room for hours tomorrow only to see those 2,000 VF seats disappear in 5 minutes). If they’re able to fulfill requests for 5,000 members or more that means a lot of seats will be in the 300 level (as the seat maps on the request screen and 10C messaging made clear). Even with the BS this week it’s a hell of a lot better than hoping for a VF code and then watching all the normally priced seats disappear before you get out of TM waiting room.

Yesssssssssss!!! lol. Great first post. Welcome aboard.

If you hit Chicago in the 300's section you would be flipping out too don't deny it lol.

Do I have this right? Is this how these apparent "discrepencies" in seat assigments happen? I'm guessing there are exceptions where people really did get hosed, but my gut tells me 90% of these situations can be explained by how the allocation process works (i.e. Everyone with P1 gets seats assigned, if anything left then P2, repeat til all tickets allocated).

I have a change in attitude, I'm going to rock out so hard to this in the bathroom. I just NEED long road to open; I haven't seen it live since 2011.

This is absolutely fucked up. You are telling me sections 121 and 113 have no 10 club allocation? Is this all going to be premium? If so, this is just terrible. SECOND these seating spots are absolutely jacked up.

I bet there are a TON of VIP/Friends and family holds for the Chicago shows as well. Gotta fit the whole rosters of the Cubs, Bulls, Bears, Hawks and maybe even Sox down there somewhere.

Always remember. There is a pretty long list of groups that could get a ticket alottment

venue
promoter
family/friends
ticketmaster
venue presale
corporate sponsors

Probably more that I'm not thinking of at all

Got the email saying unfulfilled for Indy. Hopefully I get a code for VF tomorrow and can find some lawn tickets. If not, then F2F starts next month. Finding lawn tickets for the show on F2F shouldn't be too hard. But then again I didn't think getting lawn tickets in the lottery would be too difficult either.

The Ticketstoday “Unfulfilled” emails are finally coming out. At least we know.

How did I get 9/5 as a third choice and people with it at 2 got nothing?

Had 1 and only 1 for Sep 5 and got nothing.

OK with it, as now willing to play the market and monitor premium and drops for face value options or people flipping their tickets, but goes to show that the execution for this, was not as advertised.

I’m not seeing any shows this tour but I feel awful for how this turned out for everyone.

Two thoughts come to mind…

1. It’s extremely important that seniority be honored for seating assignment. Not only does it show loyalty to fans, but more importantly seniority is why people renew their memberships every year. We pay dues every year - even when there are no tours. Sometimes it’s 3,4, or 5 years between tours in some areas. If you fail to honor seniority for seat assignment then there’s zero incentive to keep your membership active in non touring years. Instead we could just renew when the tour rumors begin and take random seat assignments.

2. The fiasco created here by Ticketmaster is another example of why monopolies are so bad. It’s not just that we are forced to pay whatever fees they feel like charging, but there is really no alternative for the next tour. In any other business, the ten club would seek out another vendor to handle its business after the way Ticketmaster botched this sale. But the reality is there are no alternatives. They have no choice but to go back to Ticketmaster on the next tour. So there’s zero incentive for TM to spend the money to fix what went wrong and we will get more of the same awful service next time.

100%.

I’m going to respectfully disagree that there are no alternatives to handle the lottery process.

There are plenty of other vendors that could more efficiently handle this process.

much smaller bands, but have seen My Morning Jacket, Primus, and Wilco use Music Today with great success and later those other tickets were sold by Ticketmaster so that would be an option.

on a larger scale, Radiohead doesn’t do a lottery but sells tickets through their own store Waste, with great success too, especially in the days where you got a date for when it would go live but not a time (if willing to be dedicated and stay up, you likely got tickets).

I get the TM hate, but I think it’s likely clear that there was a communication gap between 10 Club and TM at least in the initial set up stages to tell them exactly how to run this process, step by step.

that’s on Ten Club. TM is very clear that they execute to whatever the artist tells them. If the artists doesn’t provide enough specifics, that’s when things get fucked up.

truly believe the origin of this mess likely belong to Ten Club for not being super clear up front, as most of us could have managed this better with a spreadsheet based on knowing how the process is supposed to be executed.

Think about it this way, how many times, at your work, have you seen the simplest things get fucked up because someone wasn’t given enough context, instruction, or guidance.

for me, it’s at minimum a weekly occurrence and maybe even daily (though smaller scale stuff obviously).

All Ticketmaster does is sell tickets. It’s not like they asked Home Depot to handle the ticket sales. Not sure how much context, instruction, or guidance you need for this considering TM has handled the ticket lottery and seat assignment for past tours. This is clearly on TM.

You really think that after reading all the prioritization complaints and people who didn’t get tickets assigned correctly?

I’d almost guarantee that Ten Club said here’s our instructions for people, now you do the behind the scenes. Not contemplating that they don’t know to:

- draw priority 1 and so on before everyone else
- get total pool and THEN assign seats

Seems pretty clear to me at least that there was a lack of understanding of specifics required.

where that misunderstanding originated, I can’t determine for sure.

Ticketmaster has handled the fan club tickets on prior tours. They can't act like George Costanza and say... "Was seniority supposed to be considered? Were we really supposed to pay attention to priority? I tell ya, Ten Club... we have to claim ignorance on this one, because if we had only known..."

I know people who had lawn as their first pick along with RES and got shut out. Other people got RES as a second pick. Would love to know what went wrong with some of these so the next lotto it can be corrected and we are not just at the mercy of TM botching this.

Unless you had scored GA in the draw, you have a chance now to get better seats than this lottery would have returned. Good luck!

Someone really needs to approach PJ management about increasing the prices of the majority of their seats (higher quality) and ditching this PJ Premium concept.

The money they actually take home from this can easy made up by revising their pricing model AND still be very reasonable pricing (using a 2 tier system which they are at the point that they should do anyways).

10% is a lot of seats when you’re talking about a high demand show, ignoring even locations aspect of it.

Its a fair suggestion. But people tend to bitch about pricing alot. Even though these prices currently are fairly reasonable IMO......if they raised prices for the better seats the cheapskates would absolutely riot.

Bissy77 · April 2023

Has anyone heard anything about a refund for the 1st set of tickets they charged us for before reassignment?
It may have been listed previously ut couldn't find it.

What was the deal with Camden last year? Didn't they block F2F sales for lawn until the last minute or something?

Ya it was super late. Odd too since I think it sold out fast. Hopefully it was just TM forgetting to hit the resell button.
