Hello all,
I selected my Rams seats through a friend's 3:30 appt time. I'm in Sec 24H Row 38. A couple of observations on seat availability - the high priced seats (50 yd line) were pretty much sold out in the lower tier on either side of the field and same thing as you fanned out from the 50 yd line. There are plenty of seats in the upper tiers (rows 69-93) and quite a bit to choose from in the middle tier (rows 44-68). I'm wondering if they will sell out all the allocated season seats because some fans might not want the "best available" when it comes time to select. Go Rams!

Someone is selling theirs on ebay! Flame resistant and all:

KamikazeKid,

You're also GA25 and I could visualize your steps taking only 5 minutes. Is it possible?

I'm pretty sure I didn't finalize my order in the first 5 minutes. Sorry, not trying to make things more confusing for you. There was definitely not an 11 minute delay before I received my Ticketmaster confirmation email. I want to say I completed my order within the first 15 minutes and then received my Ticketmaster confirmation email within 2 minutes of completing my order. Since my time stamp is 10:16am, this would hold true.

But, I can see what you are getting at LA_1968. Your calculations seem to be spot on. Obviously, we know there were a significantly greater number of orders placed and completed closer to 10:00am. If there were 5000 deposits in the first 5 minutes, that leaves only 3000 more made in the first initial 55 minutes (for a total of 8000 deposits made in the first hour). The further we get away from 10:00am the greater the time intervals should be since there should be less orders. If that is true, I agree with Elvis in that we should start flying with GA# and time stamps starting with the third wave. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

No, not confusing. It's better. Thanks for the breakdown on the time estimation. Basically the email arrival was pretty close, is what you're saying.

I had not looked at it like you and Elvis to be honest where you're figuring how far the 3rd wave will reach. But that's right. It looks like the first 5 minutes of deposits have selected seats already. About 5000 in 2 waves. If there's another 3000-5000 (10:06-1100) deposit holders remaining for the first hour of deposits taken then the next waive should take us at least half way through that.

Figure the deposits were likely selling twice as fast in the first 18 minutes (10:06-10:24) than from 10:25-11:00. So let's see if the next wave covers through 10:24.

They might even open it up to more people though because they now have an idea of how many no shows there are plus how many questions they need to be able to handle at once and finally I"m sure they've fixed some confusion too. Still, I'm gonna stick with 10:24.

Welcome RamsFan2016! Congrats on getting your season tickets today! How many seats did you purchase?

Thank you for the update on seat availability. I think there are many of us that were hoping for the lower levels, but it's a process. If there are middle level seats still available, that may not be a bad consolation. I agree that it will be interesting to see when deposit holders start choosing not to purchase tickets.

The list has been updated to reflect your season tickets.

Yes, my Ticketmaster confirmation email time stamp was very close to when I actually completed my order. But, I've heard cases of other people having received their Ticketmaster confirmation email up to an hour after they completed the check out process so who knows.

Now you have me being very hopeful about receiving an email tomorrow because you're right. As an educated guess, let's say each wave is ~2500 people since the time stamp for the first two waves ended at 10:07am. That would mean all the 5000 deposits (2500 in wave one, 2500 in wave two) in the first 5 minutes are essentially done. And, this was confirmed by some RFU members with time stamps at 10:06am and 10:07am being in the second wave. If 8000 deposits were made in the first hour and sticking to my estimate of each wave being ~2500 people, I would actually guess that the ending time stamp for the upcoming third wave would be way closer to 11:00am because three waves would total 7500 people already. That would only leave ~500 people that placed a deposit within the first hour to be pushed back to the fourth wave. It's hard not to speculate, but we'll just have to see what happens tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Per the ticket office, the waves are being created by the number of people they decide - no matter the time. It's the order in line that matters, not the time.

So, if they did 2k in wave 1 (hypothetical), it did not matter if you were in at 10:02 if you were 10:02 and 2001+ in line. They stopped at 2k, so you would not be included.

They are not going everyone at 10:01, etc.

They are supposed to be increasing the number each wave, so I think we will see most of the rest of us in the 3rd wave. Here's hoping!

Thanks for the clarification RedAlice! I assumed each wave would be around the same number of people, but I guess that's not the case. And it throws my wave number approximation theory out the window, but that's ok. Still hoping for an email tomorrow.

We bought 4 seats. And thanks for all the work you do on this thread.

I know - that's why I asked them that question. They seemed only interested in the line, which they have in order by time stamp.

One hopeful thing they said, is they want to get the process done as fast as possible, so they would be increasing the waves.

Good luck to us all!!

Trying to figure out where I may fall in line or have I been passed up.
My ticket master says sec ga4 row g13.
Was definitely in within the first couple minutes.
Not really sure how the waves are happening just concerned that Ive been skipped.
Last email I got from Rams info was stating that due to the overwhelming number of deposits etc etc but no info on if and when I'd be getting the purchase email.
Thanks in advance for any info
