Take a picture of your tickets page and post it then.

That's what I thought.

How do I do that?

Let's make this as easy as possible so we can clear this up.

Steps towards proof and afterlife:
1. Goto your My Tickets page on PearlJam.com
2. Make sure both Night 1 and Night 2 ticket results are viewable on your screen
3. Click the PRINT SCREEN button on your keyboard
4. If using Windows goto START ---> type MSPAINT in the program box
5. Once in MSPAINT click the large clipboard in the top left that says PASTE
6. Your screenshot of your tickets page will be in MSPAINT
7. Click the little folder in MSPAINT right above the clipboard and select SAVE AS
8. Give it a name and save it as a JPG file
9. Goto http://www.imgur.com
10. Click on the top right where it says Computer
11. Find the JPG file you just saved from MSPAINT
12. Click Start Upload
13. Once uploaded click the 4th selection down on the right. It will say [IMG]xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/.IMG] 14. Copy and Paste that selection in a reply here. The whole process should take you 3 mins I just copy and pasted those directions from a tutorial on uploading pictures. Let's see if you come through. :corn:[/img]

Like Spinning Plates

Won GA on second choice as well. A bit confused, but certainly happy to get in the building.

Curious about this, myself.

There does seem to be some confusion how people who entered GA as 2nd priority got them this time around. Makes sense that they want it filled with 10clubbers, so anyone that had GA listed as either priority would score them. Maybe they didn't have as many ticket requests for this 2nd show as they thought and needed to fill the pit first then give the reserved tix to the rest. Now for reserved, they can offer them out again somehow or they'll be available thru Ticketmaster.

I guess this may mean it isn't really OUR priority, as much as it is THEIR priority.
I guess this ALSO may mean that anyone who scored reserved will get pretty awesome seats, as they didn't give out as many as it would seem.
Who knows, maybe Worcester 2 was a test to see how things would go and they'll tweak things for a possible 2nd Seattle show?

If that is the case, and there are a bunch of reserved left over... why would they do a second drawing to any 10c member who didnt try/get shut out for Worcester 1 when there were people who wanted Res. over GA but got GA.

They should have given the people Res who wanted Res as their 1st choice, instead of GA and then if there were any left, they'd go back out to a broad lottery.

This theory of there being left over reserved seats makes no sense if people didn't get the reserved they put in for. Ive seen some posters that got shut out of the round 2 lottery completely.

easily photoshopped. taking pic with cellphone is much more reliable and less apt to be tampered with

They will not do another drawing, who said they would? The TM sale is gonna start this Saturday, so there isn't enough time left for another 10c drawing. With that said, I bet there are going to be some awesome seats available through TM.

As for posters who got shut out of the 2nd drawing, the only ones I came across were those who were ineligible in the first place.

No, there actually hasn't been anyone so far that got shut out. The ones who CLAIM they did, didn't read the rules and were ineligible. Nobody got shut out that was eligible.

I tried to explain this a few pages ago.

"Reading through these responses I still think that there is plenty of confusion on how they do the lottery. I have to admit that I didn't understand it fully myself until after the initial drawing. The lottery isn't conducted the same way that I think most people would expect it to be. The GA for each show is selected first. If the club has 1000 sets of GA tickets and 1200 members pick GA as their first choice, then winners are randomly selected and 200 fans lose out.

But, if the supply actually exceeds the demand (such as this show) the remaining tickets are assigned randomly to those who picked GA as their second choice. Even though in some cases these fans would have preferred reserve seating and made GA their second choice as a last resort.

I'm guessing that's what happened here. Because of the restrictions, there were more tickets than eligible entries. Everyone who picked GA as first choice automatically won and there were still GA tickets left over. I'm also guessing that the Ten Club did still get a significant amount of reserved tickets but not many entries were left once the GA seats were allocated.

Again, I missed this important factor in the lottery during the initial draw but saw this written up somewhere during my compulsive reading of the forum."

There is plenty of time, if they so choose to have a secondary drawing for everyone else. This whole week to enter thing is a novelty of sorts, in the past these things were conducted in a matter of hours. It can easily be done.

If that's the case, than it would be awesome if they did it!
