<div dir="auto">Simply *allowing* group sales would allow seating together in an assigned seating scenario. Purchase 5 at a time. They can be together. Not really necessary to give some kind of priority to groups over single-ticket purchases.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Chance alone potentially allows for the difference in numbers between how many got tickets via group sales versus an individual making a single purchase. More people trying for the same purchase page, better chance of hitting a win for that group. <br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I agree, IF they do actually give some official advantage to groups then that should stop. </div>

<div style="">I bet it’s safe to say ShowClix is going to give priority to a higher block of tickets, which obviously was seen. Just due to performance, and probably to control seat assignment in arenas, venues…so that 5 tickets bought together are all in a
row.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you are going to show alone, they will fill in those empty seat gaps once they have assigned the bigger blocks. I was a single ticket buyer and didn’t get in.</div>

<div>IF Showclix is giving priority to 5-ticket blocks (that's a big IF, we don't really know for sure) then that absolutely needs to change for next year. This isn't a concert with assigned seats. The concept of everyone getting an equal chance is broken
under this system.</div>
