I have tried to remain patient during this whole process, but now Tickets Today has confirmed (at least for Austin) that seats were totally random and the seats available for 10C were evenly split with the Verified Fan on sale, and this is not even counting the 10% that were held back for premium that was communicated to us. 

Almost everyone that had seats reassigned became significantly worse and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they screwed up and assigned seats to 10C folks that were meant either for premium and/or held back for other on sale opportunities. My patience has officially run out, this whole things has soured me to a point that is really sad.  

It was communicated that more seats were available and spread throughout the venues, but at least in the case of Chicago it appears that the entire 10C has been moved to the 300 level.  The lack of transparency and communication about this debacle is the most frustrating part of the whole thing. 

And i do agree with some others, I personally can't wait until I have all these tickets officially delivered to me so I can dump them ASAP.

They need to pull a Taylor Swift, cancel or reschedule the Verified Sale and clear all of this up and have 10C allocate tix based upon seniority. Will it happen, no. Should it happen, yes. September is a long ways away, there is time to fix this. 

Something should be done. What a colossal fuck up with this whole thing. 

Where is this Austin information from? 

separate thread, copied here for reference....

"Here is email I received from them. There is obviously some sort of miscommunication here. I get people will just say be happy to be in the building but if I am traveling and spending thousands of dollars, I would like to know if my seniority of 20 years will be used in allocating my seats. Maybe some would travel anywhere just to get in the building but am I going to travel to sit all way across stage in Row R? I think we need some sort of clarification here.

Thank you for reaching Ticketstoday Supoort!

Was just over at the U2 presale....$1400 for "premium" seats.  Fuck Ticketmaster.

That's wild. I got under $200 for a pair of U2 tickets on the floor at Gillette back in 2017. How are costing 7x now? This is nutso.

Those are premium and the new venue probably has added value in their eyes. Still absurd.

Explain this one to me: my account requested 1:Chicago 1, 2:Chicago 2 and 3: Indy. All unfulfilled. My wife had 1: Indy, 2: Chicago 1 and she got Chicago 2 and noting for Indy. 

How does she get Chicago with her second pick and I get nothing with the same show as my number 1? 

Another piece of evidence that this lottery was completely boned. 

Your name was never chosen, your wife’s was.  

They do not choose names though first though. They choose cities-> type of ticket->priority->then they choose names. 

Nobody has any clue what they did, that's the problem. 

And nobody really has a clue what they've done in the past either. The comical part is people pass of what they "think" or "want" as how it is. Its not like the NBA draft lottery where its witnessed by Deloitte or Ernst and Young. They can do whatever they want in the black box. And its always been a black box.

We knew exactly how they were done in the past. We had it down to a science. It is a very simple lotto and when things look wrong it is very obvious. Before when they did will call there was almost no priority issues. Whenever one popped up the person would not provide a screenshot or when they did what they said was incorrect. Whatever 10C used then to select the winners worked great. 

Now you are right we have no clue what they are doing or what went wrong on their end. It is all too random to be able to see a pattern enough aside from it worked from the most part but a lot of people got missed. 

For all we know they drew names out of a hat. Did they use a program? Draw straws? They could rip up entries of people they don't like or deem toxic. They can just give out tixs to the people they love. 

Did they draw by priority first or draw names? I don't know. Based on how many opinions are out there its clear nobody knows. The only ones who know are in the room, and thats nobody here.

If this is true IMO it’s a bombshell. If Verified opens tomorrow and the seat selection is the same range as 10C received that is absolutely new and probably is a huge blow to the 10C. Can’t imagine what the mood will be on here if Verified has substantial selection of 100s and 200s while some 20 year members are in the 300s. 

If this happens along with all the other subscriber changes this year I have to wonder if this is a soft way of thinning out 10C and it’s operations as the band gets older. Probably getting ahead of myself on that. 

Hopefully this is just a generic customer service response written badly.

Totally boned. I got Chicago 1 with my third pick. Those tickets should have gone to someone else. 

 No, your name was pulled, his wife’s name was pulled, his wasn’t.  The lottery is totally random.
