percentage points

I know I’m about fourteen years too late for this to even be relevant, but I just wanted to mention something quickly. Lots of fans are bitching because “the presale guaranteed me the best 2% of tickets, and my seats were not in the best 2%!!!!!” Okay, no. The presale had “2% of the best seats,” not “the best 2% of seats.” The best 2% of seats means that if there are a hundred rows, they’d be giving out the first two. That’s not what they did. The way the presale works is, if there are five sections, and the first twenty rows of each section are considered “good seats” (a hundred rows in total), then a total of two rows SPREAD AMONG ALL FIVE SECTIONS would be offered up to the fanclub. I don’t know how to make this math any easier for people to understand, so I guess I’ll give up here.

For the record, when I bought seats through the fanclub, I ended up in the fifth and seventh rows. No complaints here!
