    Without knowing much about math I can guarentee you this - you'll have a better chance of being randomly blessed if you got tix to the Fla, SC or VA shows then any of the North East shows.

    By your logic, if you go to 11 shows you have a 100% chance of sitting in rows 1-2, 9-10...

    Exactly... the problem here is, as someone stated earlier, people are intermixing the terms probablity and odds. They are not the same thing.

    Sorry if my wording was inaccurate. You wouldn't be guaranteed anything, but if 9% are in the first two rows, if you go to 12 or more shows you are then likely to get the first two rows once. Your probability/ration/odds/whatever the right word is passes 1.0 after 11.

    And no one is saying that will happen since they haven't announced 12 shows yet. Now excuse me but I have to go get a new battery for my black rubber calculator watch.

    But it really wouldn't. Each show is totally independent of each other.

    Back to my lottery example you could play the same 3 digit number 1,000 days in a row and its not guaranteed that your number will ever come out. It could come out once, zero, 20 times, etc. But each drawing your odds would be the same still 1/1000.

    I really hope I hit the lottery once, but I'm going to 8 shows and I still know that I have no better than a 7-10% chance of hitting the lottery for any one show and much less for multiple shows.

    Kinda cool that our odds are probably better in some other cities of getting killer seats. I'm guessing some venues never sold out of tenclub tix right?
