Wrigley 1 reserved, first choice, GA, second choice. Same sequence for both Fenway shows. No tickets. Got shut out on the previous Wrigley show too. Really disappointed. Been a member since 2000. Oh well...

did you have fenway before wrigley or wrigley before fenway?

Wrigley before Fenway.

In that order? Post a screenshot of your selections.

Wrigley reserved both nights 1st and 3rd choices.

Ya for the ones that say they didn't get reserved for Wrigley as a first priority(if it is true) then you have a serious beef with tenclub. I would e-mail them immediately and find out what is going on with your picks and why people got them on a lower priority.

So if you stayed away from the GA CHOICE as your 1st choice, the GA choice where you had a 60-70% chance of losing......

You were basically guaranteed a ticket to Wrigley.

exactly...

I felt like potentially you could win all 4 sows if you went for reserved and ranked them properly...

but im sure plenty of people fucked it up lol

People get greedy bro. They see that ga option and their eyes light up!

It is difficult for me to feel sorry for someone who makes their 1st choice GA, knowing they have a 70% chance of losing. THEN, they make that same show their 2nd choice reserved, also knowing that 100% of the people who made it their 1st choice will be getting tickets before them.

JUST GO FOR RESERVED!!!!
ITS THAT SIMPLE!!!
Hahaha

You /We were all happy with the seats that our 10club # got us...For 10-20 years we were all happy. Why not just go for reserved and enjoy the seat that your 10club # gets you?

The odds were much better if you used your first choice. Using your first choice on Wrigley 2 was a guaranteed win.

I got Wrigley 2 as my 1st priority. Didn't find out until 5:40pm Pacific. And my total charge showed as TBD all day.

You couldn't win 4. But 3 was more than possible. Several people achieved that feat.

1 choice a Boston show
2nd choice Chi 1
3rd choice Chi 2

iOnlyownMymind

Waited a long time to finally be in a position to travel to some shows. Like many, I got Wrigley 1 reserved with first pick and Wrigley 2 reserved with 2nd pick. Can't wait.

how about having no tickets for the 4th straight lottery...i picked reserved for wrigley as first and second choices then ga as fall back...sick and tired of not getting tickets for shows I can go to and then having to hope and pray the brokers don't get the 12 tickets available to the public. I seriously miss the days of actually being able to go see the band.

I followed the wisdom of guys like Speedy on here and look what happened? Reserved tickets for both shows at Wrigley! Thanks 10c! Thanks Pearl Jam! Thanks Speedy!

While I'm handing out thanks! Filled my tank today for less than $20.00! Thanks Obama!

I'm shocked people were shut out totally having Wrigley 1 or 2 seats as their first priority. It seems impossible, and an actual violation of the process because there are those who got seats to those with lower priorities. I hope y'all find your tickets

This for sure. I am not doubting or calling people liars but with the internet I need more proof and even then it could be photoshopped.

Yeah I'm definitely interested to see proof via screenshot or however else. Although it's difficult for me to think of any reason why a person would lie about this situation. But then I remember I hit for the one show I'm going to so I'm not stressing out lol

Yea that's why some of us think that it's the NAME that's drawn.

Ten club has already stated how they do the draw. I am not too sure why there is any confusion.
They select a show and then fill it up by drawing names starting with everyone that has it picked as first priority.

Q: How does the show priority selection factor in to the drawing?
A: 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, and so on until every ticket for a given show has been sold. Please keep in mind that not everyone can have their #1 priority. Priority rank is merely a consideration

Seriously... If your name is NOT drawn in the first round, then you don't get tickets for your first choice. Why is this so difficult to understand.
Now if your name is not drawn for the rest of the draws then either you have bad luck or did not play the odds to your advantage... But really it's mostly luck.

RANDOMLY DRAW NAMES

This is the action phrase and without further punctuation I think it's open to interpretation.

Ex. Let's eat Gramma. Let's eat, Gramma.

I don't know how it works exactly, but historically lotteries are frenzies and confusing because they are random.

If there are 100 seats and 50 1st priority people, and they pull only those 50 people, then that is not random. It only becomes random on the 2nd n 3rd draws.

Best possible order entry:
Night 2 GA
Night 1 Reserved
Night 2 Reserved

Why? You were entered in 3 different drawings with a reasonable chance of winning all 3. Nothing wrong with reserved for 1st and 2nd picks, but you are only entered in 2 drawings. Lots of folks won reserved for 2 nights with this combo, and several people won GA for night 2 with reserved for night 1.

I thought that was a winning strategy as well...

Ended with that exactly Night 2 GA and Night 1 Reserved - 1st and 2nd choice respectively

I had Wrigley night #2 - reserved as my 1st Choice, Wrigley night #1 - reserved as my 2nd choice. I lost both, no tix.

WHAT??? Are you serious? I'm starting to freak out that this lottery did not go as planned. Not sure how I still have TBD and "entered" for all 4 Wrigley entries.

Yup. Seriously bummed.

tschav said:

Just got notified and didn't get Wrigley 1 tickets... but not complaining after waiting this long to find out I got something.

1. Fenway 1 Reserved
2. Fenway 2 Reserved
3. Wrigley 1 Reserved
4. Wrigley 2 Reserved
5. Wrigley 1 GA
6. Wrigley 2 GA

How did this person win reserved for Wrigley-2 with ther #4 choice, but you lost with Wrigley-2 as your FIRST choice?

Some don't believe it and want to see screen shots

Reserved? Quite a few people got Wrigley 2 reserved tickets as their 3rd/4th choice. GA tickets were pretty much gone after round 1...

It depends on if you chose GA or reserved. Friend of mine got shut out on Wrigley one by choosing GA then reserved. Not everyone who has reserved as 2nd pref one.... not enough tickets... Wrigley two was more forgiving (but also only for people that chose reserved).
