Haven't kept up with this thread because it just confuses me but I have a quick question...if the percentage of my 5th choice is 99% am I guaranteed to win?
If it says 99%, I feel comfortable betting that you would get them at almost any ranking. They just cant say 100% to protect themselves in the event that one or two people dont get them

a quick question about odds lets say a shows says,30% thats means with simple mathematics 3 out of 10 people will score tic.. so if 10c has 1000 pair of tickets and 3000 members enter lottery 1000 of them will score tix now..is this 30% odds,of all people enter,or only fisrt priority? cos i guess in ny for exable the people will score must have that show only 1st priority.. no way to win ga at ny if its not your 1st priority. so the second show at ny u put as 2nd priority is a no score option for sure cos if they have for exable 1000 pairs for ny,im sure will be sold to members put it as 1st priority and anyone put ga at ny as 2nd,3rd priority there is not a chance to score cos members have it as 1st priority will get them all
Agreed with all of this. And out of pure speculation from what Ten Club said in the mail, I'm pretty sure that the answer to your question: "now..is this 30% odds,of all people enter,or only fisrt priority?" is all people, meaning that the odds in your example would actually be better than 30%. They still won't be good but they will be a bit better.
I feel like I am playing PowerBall again. Feels like about the same odds of winning and I'm dreaming of what I will do with my winning NY1 GA tickets. :-)

Thanks! That's my thought as well.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
Did I dream that I read somewhere that they aren't allocating back of the floor tickets to 10club anymore? Or was that real? I cant find it anymore...
That was real. 10c said they listened to feedback, and try to keep fanclub seats closest on the floor, or in lower raised sections closer to the stage. Can't remember where I saw that.

It's on the tour info page somewhere, says something like very few tix behind ga will be used or something
Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

GA (General Admission Standing) Tickets:
There will be a GA pit in front of the stage at each venue taking up 1/3 -1/2 of the floor. Ten Club has acquired the entire GA pit for the fan club pre-sale drawing. Please know there are less GA pit tickets available in the drawing than there are reserved seated tickets. If you are NOT interested in standing for the entirety of the show, do not enter the drawing for GA tickets.
Reserved Seating: Reserved seated tickets are being held for the Ten Club in some of the best seat locations in the house, the majority of which includes the side sections in the 100 level as well as a very small amount of floor seats behind the GA pit. Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club. Remember: public seated tickets fall behind the fan club seats, so no matter your seniority, your fan club seats still put you at an advantage. There are more reserved seated tickets available than GA tickets for Ten Club members.

This is truely a judgement call on you. Your first choice will obviously have the best chance to win. The odds clearly show the best ratio of entrants vs tickets. You need to judge the value of the date and seat location vs the odds of winning the ticket. There is no way to make this scientific.

Go with what you want... You've got the same odds as anyone else. You'll never know if you might have gotten GA if you don't try. Plus a lot of those numbers will increase when people drop out due to being selected for the alternate show. My advice everytime is to go for what you really want. Reserved tickets as 1st Choice isn't a lock either.
I emailed tenclub. The answer makes me wish I never asked. Thoughts? My question is could making reserve seating your 2nd 4th or 5th pick here your #1 ga odds.
Hurt your ga oddsfor pick #1 sorry. Typo. Example. Your first selection is ga #1 for show that has 89%. Second selection same show just reserved at 99. You hit on second choice. Is it a better gamble to just list ga only on a show that isnt as popular if you really want a ga ticket.

I wouldnt waste your 2nd choice on GA because there is no way GA makes it to round 2. So I would either do your second scenerio or do GA for 1st choice and reserved for 2nd and 3rd. Since you can only win one night, the reserved chances are actually quite good...if it is your first choice. If it is 3rd or 4th???good luck
I emailed tenclub. The answer makes me wish I never asked. Thoughts? My question is could making reserve seating your 2nd 4th or 5th pick here your #1 ga odds.
Priority matters. For the GA lottery they will throw in everyone that is #1 priority GA and do a lottery. Then they will do a lottery for #1 Reserved seating. If after these two lotteries are done and GA and/or Reserved seating are not filled they will move on to the #2 priorities and so on until all tenclub tickets have been exhausted. The only thing priority does not effect is the odds tool.
I emailed tenclub. The answer makes me wish I never asked. Thoughts? My question is could making reserve seating your 2nd 4th or 5th pick here your #1 ga odds.
You're priority is a consideration for the actual drawing: Meaning that random names get drawn that pick the event 1st choice first. If tickets remain for that event/ticket type after everyone has their first choice, then they move on to 2nd choice for that event/ticket type, then 3rd... etc.

If you really want GA, put in for that first like your scenario 1. You'll have a pretty good chance of getting one of the shows since winners of show 1 will be excluded from show 2 and vice versa. Majority of people putting in for both GA/reserved formats for both shows in same city this year so the real odds of you getting any individual choice are probably 2-3 times higher than the odds they actually list. I think that people are overthinking the GA/reserved thing. In 2013, I listed Philly 2 reserved as my first priority and Philly 2 GA as my 2nd. I ended up getting my 2nd priority (the GA seats) in the lottery. Based on what we're seeing with lower odds for GA than reserved on this tour, and fewer GA seats, there's no way that they would've run everyone's first priority pick, run out of reserved, but had GAs for my 2nd pick. This makes me think that they lump the people requesting both reserved/GA (which is probably most people) for the same shows and run a lottery out of that and then sort out the GA/reserved location later after picking which members will be attending.

You are only allowed to win tickets for 1 show. Right? With that being said, if it were me, I would have reserved seats as my 1st 2 choices. I would be more than thrilled to be in the building. I would be more than thrilled with the reserved seats that my 10club number got me. (Like everyone here was for 20 years, until GA turned everyone in to a bunch of ding-a-lings)
Get your reserved seats. Have a wonderful time at the show.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

In other words, look at the lottery as just that, a lottery.
You are assigned a ping pong ball. You allow your ping pong ball to go into the big spinning bucket for GA seats.
When the lottery begins, and they start drawing those ping pong balls, your ping ball may just sit in that bucket for an hour, dying a long ugly death, while all the reserved tickets are being distributed. You know what I mean? Not only are you not drawn for a GA seat, but as you waited, all the reserved tickets were also taken.
Putting GA as your 1st 2 choices, may just be a guarantee that you end up with NOTHING.

I think im reading too much into it. Saw where a guy had philly ga 2 and philly ga 1 and got ga with second pick. i had charlotte ga 1 and charlotte reserve 5 and got reserve. Charlotte ga in 2013 wasnt bad. Had decent odds. I asked 10club if they lump reserve and ga together for same cities and they didn not answer on that. One would assume they draw them all out individually but the 10club answer is anything is possible.
What do 10c lottery winners do that are going to the show solo do?

Then of course there are those of us that are waiting for the Fenway shows. I am not going for any of the April/May shows (I have been waiting for this Fenway show for a LONG time). My thoughts are that if you entered the lottery for the main part of the tour your should not be eligible to enter the lottery for the Fenway/Wrigley shows. If there are TC tickets left after that lottery for the Boston and Chicago devotees, then they can do another lottery for them. I know this won't happen but we Boston folks have been waiting VERY patiently for this show in our home ballpark!

Reserved seated tickets are being held for the Ten Club in some of the best seat locations in the house, the majority of which includes the side sections in the 100 level as well as a very small amount of floor seats behind the GA pit. Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club. Remember: public seated tickets fall behind the fan club seats, so no matter your seniority, your fan club seats still put you at an advantage. There are more reserved seated tickets available than GA tickets for Ten Club members.

I emailed tenclub. The answer makes me wish I never asked. Thoughts? My question is could making reserve seating your 2nd 4th or 5th pick here your #1 ga odds.
Meaning that random names get drawn that pick the event 1st choice first. If tickets remain for that event/ticket type after everyone has their first choice, then they move on to 2nd choice for that event/ticket type, then 3rd... etc.
You'll have a pretty good chance of getting one of the shows since winners of show 1 will be excluded from show 2 and vice versa. Majority of people putting in for both GA/reserved formats for both shows in same city this year so the real odds of you getting any individual choice are probably 2-3 times higher than the odds they actually list.
I think that people are overthinking the GA/reserved thing. In 2013, I listed Philly 2 reserved as my first priority and Philly 2 GA as my 2nd. I ended up getting my 2nd priority (the GA seats) in the lottery. Based on what we're seeing with lower odds for GA than reserved on this tour, and fewer GA seats, there's no way that they would've run everyone's first priority pick, run out of reserved, but had GAs for my 2nd pick. This makes me think that they lump the people requesting both reserved/GA (which is probably most people) for the same shows and run a lottery out of that and then sort out the GA/reserved location later after picking which members will be attending.

With that being said, if it were me, I would have reserved seats as my 1st 2 choices.
I would be more than thrilled to be in the building.
I would be more than thrilled with the reserved seats that my 10club number got me. (Like everyone here was for 20 years, until GA turned everyone in to a bunch of ding-a-lings)
Get your reserved seats.
Have a wonderful time at the show.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
You are assigned a ping pong ball. You allow your ping pong ball to go into the big spinning bucket for GA seats.
When the lottery begins, and they start drawing those ping pong balls, your ping ball may just sit in that bucket for an hour, dying a long ugly death, while all the reserved tickets are being distributed. You know what I mean? Not only are you not drawn for a GA seat, but as you waited, all the reserved tickets were also taken.
Putting GA as your 1st 2 choices, may just be a guarantee that you end up with NOTHING.
