You're all pissy with 10c because you didn't have enough money to enter the original drawing? What if the shows were all announced at once? That's your problem, not their problem. You're just being bitter.

No. I'm not upset at them because I didn't have the funds initially, that's obviously my issue. If it all happened at once, then this wouldn't be an issue. I'm just saying that I deserve as much of a shot as any member who didn't get ticks to the first show.
hit for reserved seats, 1st/only choice. see ya there....
That makes sense. Interesting turn of events on this one. If you had put GA 2nd, I bet you would have gotten that.
Sounds like everyone who was eligible and put in won. GA if you had that as either choice, reserve if that was your only choice.
Small sample so far, obviously, but that seems to be the way it's playing out.
Will be interesting to see what they do with any left over Reserveds.
I would ASSUME that they would open them up for people who did not get ANY Worcester show...that way even people who didn't apply for Night 1 could still enter for a 2nd Chance Night 2...just to fill the GA Section.
Since Ticketmaster isn't selling PIT tickets they have to sell them somehow.. I can't think of anything else that makes sense.

Hope you're right. The only issue I could see with this is if someone really, really wanted reserve and only put GA 2nd to give themselves a chance to be in the building. Can't see those folks being too upset, and I'm sure trading GA for reserve will be very easy, but not so much other way around.
I really do hope (and think) you're right.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
Got GA as my second choice also, I really would have preferred reserved. Did anyone who put reserved only as their first choice not get tickets? While I'm glad I got tickets at all I don't really agree with penalizing people for having GA as their backup choice by giving them GA when reserved is still available.
I got GA, which was my first choice!! SOOOO happy since I lost all 8 entries in the first round!! Congrats to everyone who got tickets, and condolences to those who didn't (i know how you feel and it stinks).

I don't think anyone who was eligible for this lost. The only issue that seems to be happening is folks that preferred reserve got GA. However, I wouldn't worry if I were them. Once they (hopefully) open the remaining reserve up to non-Worcester 10C folks, they'll be able to easily trade. However, this way, they could ensure (to the best of their ability) that the pit stayed "in the family."

Being old(er) and having (what I think may be a) halfway decent 10C number (184,xxx), I'm bummed that they didn't "honor" people's first choice. Some type of "heads up" from HQ would have been nice. As in "wink, wink ---- if you really want reserved there's a good chance you'll get it, so just put in for that." Knowing full well that if they opened up the remaining GA tickets to other 10C'ers they would fill that pit in less than four minutes.

I hear ya....and I'm happy to be in the building but I was thinking the same thing. I'm 181xxx and felt like I had a good shot at awesome reserved seats in the wing with the limited population that could enter the lottery.

Even thinking this way make me feel old
Second that Dennis. Sounds like you and I are in the same headspace right now. Happy to be going, but not-so-happy about the mystery of this whole ticket "lottery."

Same for me. Makes sense if they are not planning on selling GA tickets on Ticketmaster.
may karma smite you.
Lost reserved as my first
Please.

Seems like a long shot at this point, but if anyone got reserved and is interested in doing an exchange for my GA seats, let me know.
Muchas Gracias TENCLUB

I really do hope (and think) you're right.
You'll have no problem doing this, especially if they open the spares up to the rest of 10C.
I'll be in this boat as well....most likely looking to trade my GA for a reserved(with a decent 10c number)

I'm kind of feeling the same way (and old) but might end up asking to trade with a low-numbered 10C'er!

Second Choice.
How Rowdy/Crowded is the GA Section going to be?

Seems like if you really wanted reserved you needed to only select reserved.
See you all there, and the 6'6" guy, feel free to stand behind me.
