They could certainly have made things smoother by explaining in more detail how it operates, there should have been no confusion at all.

Mecca, I think.

it's really my fault for making GA my first choice. Aside from the fact that reserved was my 2nd choice and those were my only choices.

Did you get reserved?

No, I got nothing, which is why I am pissed off.

And no, would have SAME shot - not better. Your #2 becomes #1 and you are in same boat as the other #1's for that city.

So you're assuming that at the point your #1 choice has been completely allotted to other people, that the other shows on your preference list haven't been allotted at all, so they can just change your #2 to a #1 and go from there? The only way that works is if you give out a whole show at a time, and then move on to the next show. And if that's how you do it, you punish people going to later shows in the tour, or people who's #2 choices get allotted earlier in the process than their #1 choice.

Like I said earlier in the thread, the new system really just means people will need to look on 10C tickets as a bonus to expect maybe once per tour. For the most part, everyone will need to have an expectation that they'll be getting tickets via Ticketmaster, etc.

Well if more fans wanted buffalo and chose buffalo for #1/#2 reserved/GA then it is possible that they just didn't have enough tickets in Buffalo to satisfy everyones demand, no? You should be hyper pissed if people chose buffalo as #2 and got tickets and also got their #1 in another city.

I used to be guaranteed to go to at least one show, now I can't even expect that. I am only a part of the fan club for tickets because of that previous expectation.

I think it's perfectly rational for people to rethink their membership to the 10C going forwards if this is going to be the new standard for ticketing.

Scored Brooklyn night 2 reserved, first choice. Didn't score Hartford, fifth choice.

I'm not in the 10c so I have no horse in the race but people are getting locked out while others are getting tickets to multiple shows? I think the priority system sounds fine based on all #1s getting tickets and then hitting up the #2s after the 1s run out but getting multiple shows sounds asinine.

I only entered for one show on leg one, Buffalo GA and Buffalo reserved and was shut out. I had two friends that entered the same, same result.

For the second leg I have Seattle reserved as one and Vancouver reserved as two. The fact that there are now west coast winners tricking in and my billing says TBD is not giving me much hope.

maybe they want 10 club to die

Put in 3 entries for the 2 closest shows, Baltimore and Charlottesville, and won reserved for both.

The system works!

I blame the lack of a Toronto show on Buffalo getting blacked out for most.

Any word on west coast shows? I see not one RM poster discussing any west coast emails....?

They were gonna start charging peoples cards for the 2nd leg shows after leg one is done, and they still seem to be working on leg one, so it might end up being tomorrow

When will they post the VIP packages with the barbecue beef?
