I'm not believing in the karma thing

Me and my buddy organized the WM3 rally fundraiser in TEN DAYS!!! We managed to raise around $3000 for 10 days of busting our asses. I still sit up near the roof. Ok not really but no lottery winner here.
I would think that would bring me some karma.

And I want to say I LOVE doing the fundraisers, I always say I would do them and not go to the shows after. I always forget I'm going to a show until someone says, you better go pick up your tickets.

Man I've been whiny here lately

:wave:
You are awesome Mindi! Great enthusiasm, generosity and loyalty for the band
and the fans...
Thank you for all you do!

You definitely deserve the lottery either hand picked or karma,
lots of hard work you've put in ...
good vibes and admiration surrounds you!

Praying 2012 is your year!

all i can do here is share my own experience. I have no connection to the band and i dont even tend to post a lot on this msg board and i won 10th row in toronto night 2. It was a great surprise that i never expected to happen and i cant imagine that it was anything other than a random selection.

Honestly, the amount of lottery winners from Toronto that post on these boards you can count on one hand and have leftover fingers. That would mean that the other 99% don't post here. I don't think any of us are saying that some aren't random, but it is definitely not all random and the 10 Club always skirts questions on it which doesn't help.

Congrats by the way you lucky devil.

I hope I win at least one time in my lifetime. I certainly dream of being in the front row just once. Guess, will just keep trying and hoping.

I hope you do as well.

They clearly don't chose it based on the wittiness of one's posts on the boards, otherwise you'd all be regularly treated to a view of my tie-dyed back and rocking-out Stone Gossard hair.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be behind you. Probably in the same row.

i would agree with this. I think there are some Karma winners. Just look at fifthelement and rckcndy at the edmonton show. somebody lost a cell phone in calagary, couldn't find it, and moved on to edmonton for the next show. cell phone turns up in calagary, and these two fine ladies see the thread on the topic and drive out of their way to pick up and return said phone.

what happens next?

they end up front row in edmonton, get taste of ed's wine and some guitar pics.

now i don't know if they were really random, or if the pj karma gods shined down on them.

either way, i'm ok if the karma gods do shine down on poeople for whatever reason.

I think this case was karma...and you cannot 'expect' karma, you have to let it happen naturally. Not every good deed will result in something good happening to you. We also missed the pre-party and got stuck in Friday afternoon traffic on Wayne Gretzky Drive.

Seating is odd, and I think it depends on the venue, how many 10c tickets are bought, etc. In Calgary, we sat 17th row on the floor, almost as good as 10th row. My ticket buddy's number isn't that good either. So, try to go to a show where there aren't as many PJ fans in the area, not as many fan club tickets will be sold, thus increasing your chances of winning.

I have a friend from Seattle that has been to 30 some odd shows and never won lottery until Vancouver. His number is pretty good too. Not sure if he posts on the boards much.

However they choose the lottery winners, they will never tell.

Which is why it isn't actually a lottery. If it was, they would be using some sort of a computer program to randomly generate names or numbers out of those who purchased tickets for each show.

Why would they not say that? Would anyone actually be upset with that? Why would that need to be secret.

Since they don't say that, it leads me to believe that very few are actually done via an actual lottery process. Unless they consider handpicking people some form of a lottery.

Good luck. By the way, the original title of the thread was better.

You know, there are real people at the 10 Club, who do things like answer email and answer the phone. Why don't you try asking them about your little conspiracy theories?

They answered my questions promptly and to my satisfaction, i.e. it's a random lottery. If you'd like more information on how it's done, why don't you ask them? If they stonewall you, then you have something to talk about, otherwise you all are just talking out of your respective nether regions.

What?? Actually go to the source and try to get an answer to a question??
that's preposterous!!!!

Didn't you know the lottery is a covert operation and the 10Club would only tell you what you think they
want you to believe?

besides, it would just give these whiners 1 less thing to whine about.

Many times the question has been asked to the 10 club and they never answer it. Feel free to ask yourself if you don't believe that.

I'm beginning to think they just don't like you.
