    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 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.

    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 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 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.

    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!

    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)

    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

    Just to give some hope to some of you, I hit the lottery for MSG 1 with a number of 204XXX. Aisle seat, dead center, row 2. Unreal experience. It can happen. Best of luck.

    My buddy won it twice now and both in the front row. Once last year and once this year. I was lucky enough to be with him in Chicago last year, which was awsome. I got to drink out Ed's wine bottle during Crazy Mary. When your lucky your lucky and thats why they call it a lottery....

    I know somebody too who won 2 times @ the Ed solo show's back in '08. For the "Lottery" they should do it that once you scored the lottery, that's it. No 2nd chance in being in the lottery. Let others in the 10club members going to the show try to win those lottery seats.

    7 more show's then me, and we both haven't scored the lottery while few have been to only 1-3 show's the last 3 year's & scored those lottery seats. :shock:
