someone needs to clarify this option I just posted...as I maybe onto something here..... or maybe I'm just "on something"... either way... LOL.. what ya'll think:?
I agree with ya'll here... if they have 1000 GA tix available and 10,000 people have them as their #1 choice... how is it possible for someone to win these tix as one of their "2nd or 3rd choice's"... wouldn't they draw all the tix until they are gone with just the people whom have them as their first choice.... Here is another senerial... someone told me..."maybe its set up that the 1st choice people have their name in the lotto like 50X each, and 2nd choice is like 20X, 3rd choice like 10X... and so on and so forth" which to me would be the only way it makes sense for someone to win their 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th choices... and other lose all 4 of their choices... it has to be something along the lines of that... specially how some people win GA at shows with their 5th choice...sure it was a 1 in a 100 shot... but they hit it...
"For each show we will randomly draw members who have made that show their #1 priority. If any tickets remain the system will randomly draw names of members who have chosen that show as their #2 priority," -- some folks got both Fenway 1 & 2... So wouldn't that imply everyone who had night1 as their priority would have won their tickets before those who had it as their 2nd choice would have been selected (and vice versa?) Or am I just confused
Just got my email. Shut out of both Fenway shows. My priority was N1 first N2 second. On to the public sale.... I believe this is the first time I've been completely shut out for a drawing.

Posted this earlier but guessing people arent reading 30 pages of info: FENWAY - So the explanation(until proven otherwise) is if you put in for night #2 with FIRST CHOICE you WON as there was enough tickets for everyone. Night #1 had more demand then tickets so some people lost. Then the lottery moves to second selections for #2 as everyone got filled with first priority - once again NOT enough tickets for everyone for night #2 with second selections. The lottery doesn't look at if you won tickets with first selection its just comparing 2nd selections to 2nd selections so its possible for a person to win the lottery twice and others none.
Just got informed 7:40 Eastern time. Got first choice - Fenway night 2. Lost out Fenway night 1. Didn't try for Chicago. Have an extra night 2 for a single night 1. :-)
Just got the email (Thank you, Jesus!). Won Fenway Night 2 (1st Choice) and Won Chicago Reserved Night 2 (3rd Choice). Lost Fenway Night 1 (2nd Choice) and Chicago Reserved Night 1 (4th Choice).
Fenway 1- Won, Fenway 2- Lost. Live 5 miles from Fenway and over 20 years in the 10c for what its worth anymore
Are these Fenway shows going to be as epic as I think? I remember visiting Boston bars two years ago and all I heard was PJ and Flogging Mollies all night long.
I think because it is PJ then yes, but I have not heard great things about the accustics/sound quality of Fenway as a concert venue. But still, I would not miss it

Yep. Wrigley 2 GA #1 pick and won. Toronto GA #1 pick won. The lottery system seems more intricate and less random than described. Not complaining, of course.
