I wish they'd do it a more modern way. Have a sign-up period of 5 days or something. Have users choose primary tickets and alternative tickets. After the sign-up phase is closed, tickets are given to orders at random in case there's more requests than there are tickets. Done.

Do you know of any system that operates like this (legit question, I don't get to buy tickets for events, none are within wallet's reach) ? If you do, please let me know, I can at least pass the information forward for people to acknowledge it and try to improve the experience.

Or where you thinking of systems like eventbrite/ticketmaster etc?

If you know any of the online systems like those you mentioned that does this kind of thing, that would be incredibly helpful.

I don't unfortunately. But as
@TrangLe92 already said: all the webpages that do offer tickets aren't ready for the amount of requests that come (every single year). And as long as it's first come first serve, that won't change2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
One the issues of the process in reserving seats, or at least expressing the intention to do so, is that, it becomes just another first come first serve, with a pinch of salt (if 1k people apply to the same seat, how do you decide who gets it? RNG? boy oh boy...)

I properly worded it poorly. You'd wouldn't choose the direct seat, but the price category and alternative prize category (color coded here)pic.twitter.com/kqPrlPIrzu

From your experience, when groups go together, like 2/3 people want to sit together and watch the game, does that works? You can ask for "3 seats, one at the side of the other, in category 123"?

I think not for a proper category but you can specify "3 seats together in the 70€ range" and it should be fine. Also another alternative is that getting fans to sign up for presale codes to reduce load on the general sale days

uhm... what is a presale code? (I'm a big noob when it comes to event, I'm going to my first one on my on in 2 days)

what elton john and other artists do is that you sign up on the fanclub website and a bunch of people get emailed a code to access the sale 1-2 days before general sale, that way they can be more certain to get tix and systems don't have to handle everyone at once.

This is tricky, there is some kind of verification process like "1 presale code per social security number" to prevent people from flooding/scamming the system?

no but it's the same as now, there's no way for you to check anyway other than the email when you check out. The code only get you in, the buying part still stays with the website
