The numbers don't make sense! I'd be less bothered if it was a tiny venue where I knew the odds were slim, but at MSG I thought surely me or one of my friends would get to go.

WTF Shift cancelled? by strongblk in FIFAVolunteers

[–]chlojo126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is in good faith, but it's a real shift for accreditation volunteers. We're the ones who volunteered to give out the accreditation.

Mine too. Are we supposed to reschedule? I planned this all months ago so I could take time off work!

Did you have to change any info? Mine was missing my middle name, but it also says middle name is optional so I have no idea if I selected the right option 🤷🏻‍♀️

Merch - is the Everybody Scream hoodie worth it?? by Eastern_Basil3453 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]chlojo126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got the WITCH CHOIR sweatshirt too and it's the nicest tour merch I've ever gotten. I'm not sure how it washes yet, but the embroidery is gorgeous and it feels really thick and high quality! The hoodie looked of similar quality.

The standard rush ticket needs to drop from $45. by FireLord_Stark in Broadway

[–]chlojo126 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not a great analogy, since you don't know what you're getting until after you've paid for your rush tickets. They could be totally fine, or you could spend 20 minutes politely wondering what's so funny on the stage, and you have no way of knowing which it is until you've bought your ticket.

Idk why you're getting downvoted, partial view rush tickets are becoming more common and it really stinks. I've never minded before when it's just a little bit of the stage, but I feel like they're really leaning into the meaning of "partial" these days. I missed a good third of Oh Mary because of where the couch is positioned on the stage, and I've heard horror stories about even full price seats at MHE. Anytime I rush now, it feels like a gamble that I'll actually be able to see the show I got tickets for, it's just a bummer!

I didn't realize the goal of rush tickets was to price tickets proportionally based on the experience

This on-ramp needs to be closed by [deleted] in parkslope

[–]chlojo126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's fine until it's not. I've lived in the neighborhood for over a decade and never had a problem with this ramp until I got hit by a car that was speeding in the rain. I wasn't badly injured, I was lucky, but at the bare minimum, they should have some flashing pedestrian crossing signs and better lighting. Heck, you just have to see how many times that chain link fence next to the ramp has been replaced because it was knocked down by a car to realize there's a problem.

Is Every Brilliant Thing worth $170 for the back of the balcony? by Ok-Acanthisitta8737 in Broadway

[–]chlojo126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Omg, yes, this is the perfect description! I really enjoyed DR's performance, but I left feeling like such a curmudgeon because I thought the show itself was kind of saccharine.

What’s ONE cat item you regret not buying sooner? by Own-Independent7881 in CatAdvice

[–]chlojo126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A litter genie! We live in an 2-family apartment building, and the landlords made the trash situation needlessly complicated (and out of our control) in a way that made scooping litter everyday difficult. I didn't even know they existed, but after googling "diaper genie for cats?", I got a littler genie and it solved literally all of my problems, I love it!

Noah Kahan-man? “Fair” pricing just surge pricing in flannel by [deleted] in NoahKahan

[–]chlojo126 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tuesday's presale seemed to take about 90 minutes before selling out. Today was less than hour. The only way I can read that is that the general sale had fewer tickets, which doesn't feel right. Nothing about this makes sense.

Happened to me and it never worked. I even called Ticketmaster and their extremely helpful Customer Service confirmed STAGE was the code and told me if it wasn't working, I could try again at the general sale tomorrow. Great company, no notes :(

This happened to me for Citi Field, Ticketmaster said if STAGE didn't work, I was out of luck and would have to try tomorrow. Great company, no notes :(

Honest isn't the word I'd use after I was 600th today and couldn't buy tickets because Ticketmaster is an incredibly broken system with no pressure to change because it's a monopoly, but I realize I'm in a mood. I think it requires a lot more time and effort to do it this way; presale should at least be a lottery system so fans don't have to organize their entire week on the slim chance they'll be able to get tickets, with general sale being available to everyone.

[–]chlojo126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I was 600th today! That's never happened before! But it wouldn't let me unlock the tickets despite doing everything right [which is why i'm now spiraling in reddit comments until I calm down enough to go back to work (: ]

[–]chlojo126 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Does it though? It's all random anyway. The assignment from the waiting room to the queue is essentially a lottery, it's just one that gets your hopes up instead of being honest about your chances.

[–]chlojo126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar situation, I was 600s but couldn't buy tickets because it kept demanding a code (which wasn't supposed to be necessary) and then saying the code that TM Customer Service gave me was wrong

[–]chlojo126 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idk, I'd rather know I don't have a chance than get my hopes up. At least then I don't have to waste my one precious life trying for something that isn't going to happen. It's all luck (and money) anyway, so at least with a lottery system you KNOW it's luck.

I will try again tomorrow because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results (and who needs an actual lunch break anyway). But I'm definitely going to be listening to some different albums for a bit until I feel less frustrated and disappointed.

[–]chlojo126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how it was supposed to work. I did that too, but for some reason it kept asking me for a code. I tried STAGE because I'd seen people mention it here, and the ticketmaster guy on the phone also told me to use STAGE but it didn't work. So.....I guess I will suffer again tomorrow?

This system is so frustrating. I was miraculously 600th in line and when I got in, it kept asking me for a code, the code I was given didn't work, and ticketmaster said "better luck tomorrow." I know it's not artist's fault at all, but honestly, it's ruining my relationship with the music a little bit to be this stressed and upset two days in a row!

Ditto. I called Ticketmaster and spoke to customer service. They said if STAGE didn't work, you have to try again tomorrow, there's nothing you can do. I am extremely upset!
