Which rule applies to the sales from Weds night: the 14 day tickets per 7 day period or the 10 tickets over the entire course of the Nov-Jan block (is that even correct? It seems way too strict). If it was the latter, I almost violated it without realizing it. I bought tickets for my group for one date and then got tickets for friends since my Amex gave me more options.
"
It's the latter. I accidentally violated it. I had checked the policy before, and I wasn't anywhere near it so I didn't worry about checking again. (I thought I remembered seeing 10 tickets over 14 days.). My mistake but it's annoying that when you buy on the app you have to scroll all the way down past the buy button and past all purchasing options to see it. I don't understand why they wouldn't put it at the top--especially because it's different for all blocks. (There are actually several different policies depending on what block you look at.). I had no idea it was even there until this morning when I looked for it because I heard about tickets being rescinded. It took me awhile to figure it out too even when I was looking for it.
I emailed Ticketmaster requesting that they cancelcertain orders that went over hoping since it was an innocent mistake they don't cancel ALL my tickets. 10 in a 3 month period is pretty extreme. I have tons of friends who want to see it so I bought a bunch. I never bought more than 4 for a single show so I didn't think I'd come anywhere near any limits. I'm totally fine with strict limits. I just wish it was in a more prominent place on the app. (The website isn't exactly staring you in the face but at least the link is right at the top of the event page.). We'll see how they respond.
Anyway I doubt I'm the only one so I'm sure there will be more tickets released eventually. And as someone said on the other thread, unfortunately since the scalpers are pros they're probably not even having their orders rescinded.
I appreciate they're trying to do something to fix the scalpers. I just wish their policies were clearer. If they vary from date to date you shouldn't have to search for the info every time. (And also, the one for the three month period is horribly worded and could easily be read to apply per show to shows during that period.)
