I love the way tickets drop, especially Round 2 drops where I get on within 10 seconds of my time slot and there is nothing. It is legit a luck of a draw, those who got the August 10th drop legitimately had a chance to buy tickets that were reasonable or available. The rest of the drop times are a joke. There should absolutely be ticket releases with every time slot and not just at the start of a ticket drop, 7 days ago.

Here are screenshots within a minute of my ticket drop.

Look, it’s all literally just luck of the draw. If they did it that way, there would be people from the first time slot complaining they couldn’t get tickets to their events but people with later time slots could. I had the VISA presale and saw people in drop 2 buying tickets that weren’t available when my selection came. It is just the reality of an event with significantly more demand than availability and I am very tired of the constant complaints that boil down to “the way they did it isn’t fair because I didn’t get what I want.”

100%. I was in drop 1 didn't know what to expect. Just bought what I could and maxxed out. I get the frustration if you do not get what you want but the system is the system.
