Northwest shows except Seattle - 10c tix sold out? No?

I haven't seen a single person say they didn't win tix for Vancouver, Spokane, and Portland. Everyone who tried for any of them got all of them it seems, even if they were 6th or 8th choices. So I am actually wondering if they even sold their whole allotment of GA and reserved tix for these three shows? What if they didn't - what happens to those tickets? I am especially curious about the GA. I assume they wouldn't just let GA go unfilled I hope... Would they have a second 10c lottery? Or release them to the public? Or just give them to friends of 10c and shit?? :think: Or am I way off in thinking there may be leftovers?

    well i lost the Portland lottery :(

    i entered the draws for 1) Vancouver GA, 2) Seattle reserved, 3) Portland GA, 4) Calgary reserved

    i got Vancouver & Calgary.

    anyone else care to share their wins & losses? i am trying to figure out if i should have had a different priority order. i know, it's random...but i can't stop trying to plot my strategies for the next tour, whenever that is. i'm just so happy that at the last minute i cancelled my selections (which were just Vancouver, Seattle & Portland) so that i could add Calgary to the list! ended up being a brilliant decision.

    My buddy put in for Seattle Spokane and Calgary and lost all three. He only put in for GA though. He might've had better luck if he also put in for reserved.

    Okay, I guess Portland must have sold out. Now wondering about Vancouver GA and reserved, and Spokane and Calgary reserved!

    Okay, interesting! I got Vancouver GA but it was my first choice. Good to know all the GA tix must have sold out, anyway. I'd hate to know that interest in GA was so low they couldn't fill the pit... That could lead to a pretty boring GA section. I'm hoping the pits are all super energized. :)

    Both me & ketray2412 put in for Vancouver & Portland GA(priorities 4 & 6, & 3 & 5 for each of us) & didn't get either. I got my priorites #1 & 2(Seattle & LA1) & ketray2412 got her choice #2 Spokane. We'll be trying for Vancouver public sale this weekend but would really prefer 10c GA if any spares appear.

    e.t.a. we've now got 10c reserved for Vancouver, will be trying for LA2 in the public sale & are still looking for Oakland 10c GA if anyone has any. :)

    I put in for Vancouver GA #7 and Vancouver Res #8

    Got Vancouver Res.

    Portland Res as a #4
    Spokane GA #5

    I would think there are Spokane Res leftovers more than anything. Maybe Vancouver Res next since the show is on Wednesday...?

    Maybe leftover tix are released back to TicketBastard?

    I put In for Portland priority #1 and #2', also Seattle priority #3 and #4. I lost all of them. I have had to rely on the generosity of other 10c members to get tickets. If it were not for these special three people, I would miss seeing PJ for the first time. So, I believe that most 10c tix did sell out. I learned however, that next time I will be choosing priorities all the way up to #11, if at all possible? Thanks to those select 3 10c members who came through for me! Without the kindness, I would have seen no shows, compared to everyone else who are going to 5-7 shows in one little fall tour. Thanks!

    I would imagine that if the entire allotment of GA tickets went unsold in the lottery, they'd just make the GA section smaller by adding more seats to the floor.

    After finding out how low in demand the Vancouver show was I really regretted the order in which I put my pref's.

    I was quite torn between starting with Vancouver GA or Seattle Reserved. I know Vancouver demand can be moderate (especially when they have a Seattle show at the same time) but I figured the GA demand would still be significant. Then I found after that people got Vancouver GA in subsequent rounds.... I'll have to remember that for next time. I originally had my pref's with Seattle Reserved first but flipped them to make sure by brother got on the floor for his bday for the Vancouver show. Should of gambled a bit more :)

    Most shows are not sold out (surprising). But i was wondering about just the 10c tix. I think now I'm convinced that they all did sell.
