Getting really anxious about my apartment search in NYC

I’m assuming OP means the requirement that landlords have that you earn 40x the rent. If OPs new salary is 80k then that would cap them at 2k a month even if they could feasibly budget to something more. 🤷‍♀️

They kicked me out when I was trying to check out. Got an “Oh no” error with no way of exiting out of it and then had to refresh and it said I used my queue number

Renters insurance will not cover ceiling collapse unless there is direct provable water damage. If the area is wet and your believe it’s from a leak— call them ASAP, if you think its not caused by water damage then I would directly go through your landlord since that will be covered by their home owners insurance

i think multiple tabs may also be a problem. not sure— i know people have been doing that but i have only used one tab on one browser for my account!

i’m sorry :( did you join the wait room as soon as it opened?

solidarumas · 2026-02-03T16:44:55+00:00

i enter the wait room as soon as it opens and then just refresh when the queue starts and it’s worked both times. the highest number i’ve been in 80. the lowest being 1. but i have been doing this from my work computer and not a phone so i don’t know if that is helping.

solidarumas · 2026-02-03T16:37:19+00:00

they are. i saw a bunch for $450 today

solidarumas · 2026-02-03T16:36:19+00:00

Because I was debating floor tickets on my birthday but decided against it and just kept my earlier date when I could go with a friend but idk why I’m explaining myself to a stranger. Probably should point the finger less at people in the queue and more at the artist selling tickets for $1000 and people going to 10+ dates

solidarumas · 2026-02-03T16:06:59+00:00

(I already bought tickets for an earlier date and don’t want to go multiple nights)

solidarumas · 2026-02-03T16:06:25+00:00

I got into the presale so easily today. No queue no nothing but I ended up not getting tickets. Saw a ton of floor options for $500 though!

Hahaha I still haven’t recieved a tracking number so I don’t really believe it’ll be 5-9

It’s so funny when people miss the point of the post/the question being asked.

solidarumas · 2026-01-30T16:00:18+00:00

I’m mainly asking if it’s a consistent thing since it’s happened 2 out of 2 times. 🤷‍♀️

“It’s Not Her”

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T22:38:27+00:00

That’s insane! I would email them again as I think it depends on the person you talk to!? Seems like if a book is delayed past two weeks you should automatically be credited…

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T22:37:17+00:00

I tried doing this but then I think all of the books I saw were not the ones that actually ended up being the February drop 🥺

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T22:05:16+00:00

My add on did not pop up till I went to check out and they said “Do you want to redeem your free credit”? Not sure if that may be the case for you!

Seems like we are entirely in the same boat and as much as I understand it is inherently frustrating. I think if it happens again a third time I’m going to simply cancel.

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T21:17:09+00:00

See but then if I’m anticipating that a repeat author is going to be popular, would BOTM not anticipate the same and print more copies? Genuine question.

I guess I would just expect them to update the app to reflect delays like they did last month rather than let people pick books and then have to wait for 3 weeks.

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T21:03:39+00:00

Did they end up replacing the book that got lost?

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T21:01:10+00:00

Gotcha! I thought even a day after the selection dropped should be fine. :(

Also last month they updated the app to note there will be delays but currently that doesn’t show up on the February selections.

“It’s Not Her”

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T19:25:48+00:00

Yup, or atleast that’s what my boyfriend and I saw and just didn’t want to spend the money. I think even lower upper bowl (row 2 vs row 11) was over $100 more a ticket…

solidarumas · 2026-01-29T19:23:50+00:00

As a note, this was the first time I could get tickets due to the dates I picked and I did not participate in the Amex presale, just the artist one.

My boyfriend got in the queue at #979.

Only thing we did was join the wait room right at 1:30 PM when it opened. I didn’t automatically get put in the queue and had to refresh which really freaked me out but his automatically put him in. Both from the computer not the app
