    well,seems to me has to do with memebr number..if you are 450xxx,u def will go GA...
    if u are 50xxx you probaly go for reserved

    now..if u are 250xxxx..u need to think alot...before choose
    Not really. I'd rather have the best 100 level seats, over the best reserved floor.

    But we have no idea what they consider the best reserved seats to be. If they told me that the first few sections of 100's went first, i'd go reserved. If they said the back of the floor went 1st, i'd go for GA.
    Yea, thats another good point that I see as an issue. Not knowing how that would make a difference.
    yes i agree..will be better if you know,so use your number for your choice

    What would be your go to Seattle/Spokane strategy?

    Seems like this may be ballsy:

    1. Seattle GA Pit
    2. Seattle Reserved Fan Club
    3. Spokane GA Pit
    4. Spokane Reserved Fan Club

    Do I go this and cross my fingers?

    1. Seattle GA Pit
    2. Spokane GA Pit
    3. Seattle Reserved Fan Club
    4. Spokane Reserved Fan Club

    Fack!

    Is there really anybody who would not want the other type of ticket, if the type they chose first isn't available?

    Yes, I do not want to go unless I get GA, or a good seat. My 10C number (~300xxx) would probably not give me what I consider a good seat, so I don't even want to bother with that option. At least for the shows I might want to go to ... Brooklyn for Leg 1 and Dallas for Leg 2.

    There's probably plenty of others who have issues with GA (e.g. might be midgets, or injured) and only want seats.

    Not sure I see the point in picking all these #2 and #3 priorities. I think 95% of people will get either their #1 selection, or nothing. At least in the reasonable sized cities. Who is going to put Charlottesville at say #2? You either live near there and make it #1, or you would have little desire to travel there and would put it way down the list (if at all).

    your argument was that you have the same chance, and you don't. You yourself just admitted that the ranking IS important. It was non existant before.
    dont get me started about before..and the tricks..if u knew them u score,if not,you was fucked...

    I'll say it again...I knew zero tricks. Scored literally 100% of the time (including four or five Ed shows). So did my brother and he knows jack shit about computers. You make this argument a lot but it is simply not as true as you want it to be.

    That said, I've been lucky to see them many, many times with 10C. It looks like my luck has run out but my friends and I certainly had a good run.

    For example, if you rank your shows this way:

    1. Brooklyn 1 GA
    2. Brooklyn 1 Reserved
    3. Hartford Reserved

    and someone else ranks:

    1. Brooklyn 1 Reserved
    2. Hartford Reserved
    3. Brooklyn 1 GA

    Person 1 can be shut out completely, while person 2 gets tix to 2 show.....

    That is a good example and you are absolutely right. The question is; is this fair?

    I think one should approach this like an investment strategy. You might be risk-loving and go for the big win but you also risk losing it all. Or you might play safe, settle for a lesser gain.

    The choice is yours to make.
    What's your part, who you are?

    I guess you just don't get my point then. The chances aren't the same. Some folks can potentially go to multiple shows, while others can be completely shut out. No fairness in that IMO.
    no...you dont get my point...there is NO multiple shows anymore..thats im trying to tell you..there is no such thing..you choose 1st priority and if u are are lucky u are in,,no luck??ticketmaster or spare 10c tiux is the way..with the demand out there is impossible to get more than one show and gets your 2nd priority
    the days of multiple shows with 10c tix,is ended 1 year ago..

    I'll be sure to bump this post when the first person scores tickets to multiple shows. I'll eat my words when it doesn't.

    Looking like plenty of folks scored tickets to 2 or 3 shows. :)
