Red Mosquito

Travelling from Australia for some West Coast shows. I am really happy with the below. Just need to fight the Ticketmonster for Seattle.

I do feel for those who have missed out in busier markets. I think selecting Seats paid off.

1st choice 11/29/2013 Portland, OR GA Standing $156.00 WON
2nd choice 11/30/2013 Spokane, WA Reserved Seats $156.00 WON
3rd choice 12/04/2013 Vancouver, BC Reserved Seats $156.00 WON
4th choice 12/06/2013 Seattle, WA Reserved Seats $156.00 LOST
5th choice 11/29/2013 Portland, OR Reserved Seating $156.00 LOST
6th choice 11/30/2013 Spokane, WA GA Standing $156.00 LOST
7th choice 12/04/2013 Vancouver, BC GA Standing $156.00 LOST
8th choice 12/06/2013 Seattle, WA GA Standing $156.00 LOST

I imagine Seattle was the only show in the NorthWest that was in high demand.

Vancouver, Calgary, Spokane, and Portland were probably fairly easy to get tickets. I wanted to attend Seattle and Vancouver and was torn how to approach it. I figured Seattle is high demand and I could get shut out, and I wanted GA tickets to 1 show. I figured GA was a lock for Vancouver if I wanted it (and I put reserved last because I didn't think Vancouver would sell out). So I went with Vancouver GA then Seattle Reserved.

I'll to battle ticketmaster for Seattle tickets. Still hoping for a 2nd show.

thanks. mine still says TBD. shrugs. i should go to bed.

no way man, hold out, don't go to bed angry...

This could take hours

Got both of the shows I wanted to go to, Phoenix and San Diego. I really wanted to go to Vancouver again, 2011 there was a great time. But just a little too expensive for me this time around. Maybe next time.

I see people on the Pit scored Spokane GA on their 4th preference, Vancouver reserved on their 5th, Spokane reserved on their 8th, Calgary reserved on their 10th(!) and similar.

That should be pretty reassuring to anyone still waiting.

I had Phoenix reserved as my 1st priority and didn't get it. SD reserved was 2nd and I got that. Phoenix GA was my 3rd priority, so hopefully you'll get it...

I can only presume that means they complete the GA drawing for each show first. In this case, there wasn't much demand for Phoenix GA so you won it even after all the 1st and 2nd preferences for GA had been distributed, leaving you ineligible for the reserved drawing (even though it was your first preference.)

1:07am central. Dallas reserved won. Sorry for being a spazzed out fan boy. Good night everyone.

I'm guessing you could have put Calgary dead last with every tour stop selected before it and still gotten it.

Well, clearly that didn't work for me b/c I had Phx Res. 1 / Phx GA 2.

This waiting around all day and night BS is ri-god damn-diculous...I'm going to bed.

Whoa...no sooner did I post this, when lo and behold I hit F5 and I won Phx GA. Nite all!

Got Oakland reserved - received my email around 8:15 pm pacific. That was the only one I signed up for. The more I read this thread today, I wished i'd have at least put Oakland GA as my 2nd choice even though I really didn't want that.

Just got emailed a few minutes ago. Won GA for LA 1st night. Lost Seattle GAs

If you had OAK RES as choice #1, and won, your selection of OAK GA as choice #2 would have been voided.

Wouldn't have happened as it appears they completed the GA drawing for each show before looking at reserved requests. If sufficient tickets were available for GA, that would've been picked first regardless of whether he had a reserved pick at a higher priority (knocking him out of the running for reserved selection.)

This greatly improves my 1-9 record in the lotto:

Choices results
1.) balt res Won

3.) hartford res Lost

5.) philly 1 res Lost


Number 4 is a fucking shocker.

I'm still waiting on my results but Philly 2 Reserved was my #1 option. So I have to imagine that if you won it as your 4th option, my chances might be okay.

I'd say that's almost certain.

If you don't get it, I'll be very surprised. It means they fucked up (for either you or b_i.)

So yes, I did end up winning Philly 2 reserved.

Awesome!

I suspect a lot people did this, because they didn't "get" the rules:

1.) philly 1 GA
2.) philly 2 GA
3.) philly 1 Res
4.) philly 2 Res

And that's why Philly 2 tickets lasted until round four.

i "got" the rules and put philly 2 res as my #1 option...struck out. so its totally fucking awesome that you got my #1 priority with your fucking 4th priority.

It's quite amazing how many people who said they tried for Buffalo that got nothing over at the pit. I guess alot of canadians are going to that show.

Sorry, I was not attempting to gloat, I just wanted to share my results so that people who hadn't heard yet could see.

But you case has something strange is going on there. Maybe you should call your credit card and make sure they didn't block the charge. It won't change what happened, but it might help in the future.
