    If there was only upgrades how would they open up the rows?

    I would guess rows 1 & 2 by seniority would prolly be moved back to 3,4....9,10>11,12

    well yeah if you are lets say like the lowest number in the 10C ever (example) and 99% of the time you get first row then you will not be in first row (unless you win the lottery), since those are not longer given on seniority.

    So if you are usually row 1 or 2 you will be pushed back.

    BUT..

    let's say that you are by seniority row 4 or 5 but then your name gets pulled from the hat (not that they actually pull it from the hat) and you get row #9 they are not going to take your row 5 and give you row 9 they'll just leave you on row 5 and pull the next name, now the people that by seniority would sit on row 9 and 10 will be pushed back a couple of rows, I hope that makes sense.

    Im trying to recall exactly how it was explained last year... but Im pretty sure that's how it works.

    si in essence some people will be downgraded because of the lottery but no one will be downgraded because they won the lottery.. I still dont know if Im making any sense :lol:

    I'm a bit stoned on my Friday night, but that made perfect sense. .....regardless of how the 'ol lottery plays out, I am so damn excited to see these 2 shows from inside the building. We've kind of already won the lottery by getting tickets to see them right?

    I agree

    i wont believe their is a lottery for toronto and chicago until i heard it from kat or sea. It was done by senority thats what it said when they went on sale so i wont believe till i see it. I like the lottery for once in awhile but, not every show and if they said senority at the time of puchase the fan club shouldnt go back on what they said thats what i think. So hopefully a mod can confirm this or ill find out the day of the show.

    op i guess i just read my chicago confirmations and it says the lottery in there so i guess its true but, they should of told us at the time of purchase. They were wrong for doing that!

    Would you not have purchased tickets if you knew about the lottery in advance? Personally I can't fathom that, these shows are going to be a fantastic time, just a great weekend overall! And did I mention the Hyatt??

    Hi Gary,

    Random seating in Chicago will be rows 1,2,9, and 10.

    Best,

    Putting you number in at touringfans will help you track where about you will sit until you pick up the tox and see if you get lottery.

    I got new ones and they are different. They address the lottery and the parking situation.

    okay I gotcha it is the same one we all got, they always send out those ticket confirmations I think it coincides
    with when the print or assign the tickets

    I thought you were saying that the sent out a revised version of confirmations

    I got the first ones a day or 2 after I bought tix, then I was sent one last week sometime. They were both very similar, just a few different points made on the new one.
