Anyone know or have an idea if rows 1 & 2 are only drawn for people who qualify to sit in rows 8-3 and 9 & 10 are only drawn for people who qualify for 11-XX ? Or are both lotteries all inclusive to members?

    Those rows are "randomly" filled with all 10c members.

    I think locals seemed to get a bit of preferential treatment.

    Right but ordinarily you would have had row 11-xx.

    So i guess my question is: Has anyone with a number simular to yours scored rows 1 or 2?

    Also, you can't be downgraded... like if you usually get 3rd row seats, they won't give you 10th row because you "won" the lottery for 10th row seats.

    hopefully that doesnt happen at the chicago show! They said it would be by senority and there would be no lottery now there is. How did the lottery work last time? I think things could get messed up with it. say u have a low number are you in the lottery or no? id like to know.

    no, they don't.
    it is RANDOM. that means completely, utterly 100% RANDOM. so no one group gets preferential treatment. more locals may end up winning simply b/c more local 10c members are probably in ATTENADANCE than any other members. MSG last year, it was like the united nations in the first 2 rows.....and no, i wasn't in there, and i am a NYer. however, this NYer did win 10th row dead center at the first mansfield show.


    and no, if you usually would sit in the first 8 rows, you will NOT get 'randomly selected' to be in rows 9 or 10, pushed further back.


    i truly wish 10c would make the random seating description a perma-sticky, b/c it gets asked each time. not trying to push down discussion :P...just be nice to have the info clearly at the ready for anyone interested. i just recall when it first was implemented, it was discussed a lot, and thus a lot was clarified.




    random seating is not in effect for toronto or the chicago shows, those are pure seniority.



    and even with the random lottery, ALL other rows ARE seniority-based, so at most, pushed back 2 or 4 rows...depending on your #.....with an equal chance as anyone else in attendance of hitting the lottery!

    btw - he didn't freak...he answered your question. it's a lottery for ALL members. if it were broken down as you asked, it would have been specified. it wasn't, therefore it is open to all members....meaning: ANy member # has an equal chance of winning the first or second row.....and all members who would sit behind row 8 have an equal shot at getting rows nine or ten.

    What are the worst seats you can get via 10c?

    so how do they do the lottery for rows 9 and 10? What I am asking is how do they make sure that people who would be alloted tickets in rows 3-8 by seniority don't "win" the lottery for rows 9-10?

    ALL 10C members that were able to get tickets are in the lottery. You won't know if you hit the lottery until you pick up your tickets. If you are in either rows 1, 2, 9 or 10 you hit the lottery. Seniority will NOT be used for any of those rows.
