    I'm 0 for something like... 25-30?

    I dont believe anyone under a certain # (I'm thinking 100K) has any chance of winning. I sitll have yet to meet someone who has ever won with a number under 100K. I'm at 88xxx so I'm right at the border. Never been in the first two rows and I dont think I ever will.

    Prove me wrong, TC... prove me wrong. ;)

    The lottery only started in 2008 I believe

    My number is 72XXX and I hit it in St Louis for front row center just between Ed and Mike (see avatar)

    I'm calling BS on the 41, you would have had to have gone to almost every show since they started the lottery.

    edit: Just counted, 42 non-GA shows on this continent since 2008.

    I believe the OP was under the impression that the lottery has been in place for every show ever played.

    Yeah, I guess I didn't think it all the way through...the point was I had been to a hell of alot of shows and not hit the lottery...

    But all that has changed...Section 2, Row 9 for MSG2 :D

    It's pretty ironic that I posted that earlier that day.

    I am 0-11 in the post lottery era.


    However, for the 2 EV solo shows, I scored 10c tix within the 1st 5 rows.
  • mwachsmanmwachsman Posts: 474
    MSG1 was my first Pearl Jam show, and I hit. Got Section 3 row 10 on the aisle. Guess they wanted to make it up to me for having to fly to NYC from Atlanta to see them. Was actually offered $2000 for the tickets, and I turned the guy down without having to think about it for a second.

    Was in 210 for night two. Those were greats seats as well. Thank you 10C!

    I've got an 88XXX number and I won front row Mike side for Philly 2 so it can happen to you! :D

    That was 1 out of 12 I believe for the US lottery system shows that I've been to since 2008.

    0 for 2 but i've scored some good seats for a few shows.

    0 for 9 (if lottery started in 2008).

    Didn't get 10c tickets for any Ed solo shows either.

    Couldn't get 10c tickets to any MSG show - barely got Ticketmaster.

    I'm not a person that wins lotteries. But maybe one of these days........ before I get too old.....

    I won the lottery on Friday, 2nd row center, first time going to a show with 10 club seats so it does happen! Best concert experience of my life. I am sure if will never happen again for me, good luck to everyone in the future.
  • FenwayFaithfulFenwayFaithful Posts: 8,626
    Since 2008, 0 for 5 now. For some reason, I thought the lottery started in 06. I thought I was 0 for 8, turns out I'm only 0 for 5! Woo-hoo!

    Out of curiousity, where would your "normal" seats be for a show? With a # of 72XXX I would imagine you'd be within first ten rows anyway, no?
    Its the same every day and the wave won't break
