Do they put all the numbers in a big hat? Computer program? Cool lotto ball machine, like the government run lottos use? Numbers on a wall that someone throws darts at? Just curious.

    Not sure but I know multiple people who have won more than once. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people.

    After many shows I have never been so lucky to win the lottery either. However, there have been some people that have won the lottery several times - some for back to back shows. I too am curious as to how that works, but doubt if we will ever find out.

    I am curious too as I know people who just joined within the last year or two who've won the lottery mutliple times and i've been a member since 1998 and never won it. WIth computers as sophisticated as they are now a days you would think they'd have an algorithm or something so that a person could not win the lottery a second (or third, or fourth etc...) time until everyone has won it atleast once. Sort of like when you win a radio show contest and your not eligible to win again for a certain period of time or whatever. Now if a certain show has a situation where they can;t fill the lottery rows without adding someone who has won it multiple times then that's fien but again seems liek something a computer should be able to handle.....

    Didn't know a lot of people who have won multiple times. That does not seem fair. It would be nice to win it, but am not going to complain. I usually get decent enough seats being 179xxx.
    Hopefully whatever system 10C is using that produces multiple time winners will be fixed, so more people have a chance at excellent seats.

    you're taking the word of 3-4 people... as well as believing the pearl jam grapevine

    how many shows have they had the lottery for? hundreds?? how many people win the lottery each night? 100?

    i'm not good at math but that's a lot of people... probably thousands... so if 4? 5? 7? 27? of them won twice... i don't think that equals "a lot of multiple winners"


    10c is trying to hook people up - i'm sure they're not tracking who wins and who doesn't... why waste the time and resources?

    take the 5000 people who have 10c tix for a show and pick 100

    next show... do the same

    simple

    A bit complex because some people go to many shows, and some go to very few. Your algorithm would end up favoring those who go to few shows, because the frequent attendees would win the lottery and then be excluded.

    Best have an equal chance for each show you attend. A true lottery.

    Simple, but not correct. There are many people that have won multiple times that coincidentally know band members, or someone that works for the band, etc. I'm totally ok with that, but if you think all the seats in rows 1 & 2 and 9 & 10 are assigned at random by an algorithm, you're not paying attention.

    I am always confused about people who think you should only be eligible to win the lottery once. Buying a ticket to a show is essentially buying a lottery ticket and you should have the same chance as anyone else to win the lottery for that show.

    From my personal experience, I am 178XXX and have never won row 1 or 2 in about 20 shows. I did win row 10 once, but would have been row 12 or so anyway (LA4 '09). My girlfriend who has a fairly high number won 2nd row once (in about 7 tries). My brother, who also has a very high number won 10th row at Toronto #2 in only his second try.

    It does seem random to me but from what I have heard here and there, it seems like very high 10C numbers are more likely to win row 1 and 2. I could be completely off on that one though as my experiences are a very small sample size compared to the entire membership.

    It isn't totally random.....I seen a guy win front row tickets for back to back shows....Pretty much in same area in the front row....I talked to him at the pre parties...He told me in person...That he had won the lottery two shows in a row...{Front row}...If you win the lottery for front row on a tour?...I think your name should be taken off the list for front row lottery tickets....


    I am sure some on here think it is totally random...It isn't.....Don't get me wrong....It is cool that they do the lottery tickets...But, if your going to call it random....At least make it totally random...I know that the 10c picks a certain amount of fans to win the lottery.....That is fine...But, don't call it random...

    It's pretty simple actually.

    10club management keeps a close eye on this board and makes notes of all the bitchers, whiners, complainers,
    shit disturbers and ungrateful members who believe they are entitled to something more than seeing
    the greatest live rock band since I don't know when.

    They don't get to win the lottery because they wouldn't be satisfied even if they did.

    they're a rock band... they are in charge....they're going to have VIPs and they're going to sit them wherever they want...

    good for them

    this lottery produces many, many winners that have no connection to the band ... my wife won once and i'm pretty sure she doesn't know anyone... although i did find a pair of hawaiian underwear in her car once with a note from a guy named Kenny Gaspar... but anyway

    ummm... i didn't call it totally random?

    so you not winning the lottery proves that it's not totally random? is that it?


    and you may have been in the fan club a long time... but the lottery is newish... so those things aren't really related?

    Sure there is a chance it could happen...But, lets say just for the example....There was 2,200 fan club tickets sold at each of these two shows...That this guy won back to back front row tickets.....So, there is a really slim chance this would happen.....Once again.....Just mark the persons name off the row that he won already during that tour......It will take care of this happening......I know and have meet fans who would do anything to be up front just once.....But, you have fans winnning multiple times.......I try help out fans that have never had great tickets...By, selling them my other tickets.....So, that fan can experince checking out the band close up....
