Wow wrigley n1 dropping like a rock in a pool.. how low before pulling the plug to reserve ??

All the Ga’s will most likely end up below 20%.  At least they did last time. They will start dropping like a rock over The Weeknd.

I really want Fenway but also Chicago.

I got in this:  #1-GA Chi N2, #2-Fenway N1, #3-Fenway N2.

What do you think?

I don't think you are going to get fenway night 1 with a second pick.  If you really want fenway and chicago go fenway night 1, fenway night 2, chi reserved

amethgr8

thanks, but if I go to Chicago I need GA.  I could forgo Chicago all together and just go for Fenway because it will be a pricey trip and like to make the most of it.

However....Chicago is an hour away and easy for me to go alone, hard to not put in for it.

thanks tho.  if I want a guarantee that I will get Boston I could go N2 Fenway as my first pick and let the other chips fall where they may

For those wondering 2016 had these odds as final numbers. GA is going to be lower this time by the looks of it. 
Fenway
Night #1 at 44% 
Night #2 at 47% 

Wrigley
Night 1:
Reserved: 53%
GA Standing: 24%

Night 2:
Reserved: 69%
GA Standing: 30%

Good luck to all and don't forgot about TM if the lottery doesn't work out. I scored 2 great lower bowl seats off of TM for the Moline show after losing that lottery.

I must be remembering the 2013 east coast swing where Ga odds were under 20% in some of the northeast cities. I think even single digits for a couple shows. Those are definitely tough tickets to get. I feel for you north eastern folk:)

I did the same thing...
scored floor seats behind GA for Moline thru the general Ticketmaster sale.

Tickets.com here though. That site sucks so bad. Waiting room plus even when you get through you glitch out putting your info in. I am happy verified fan is an option and better then before but Tickets.com is brutal! People getting in through the back door too and not waiting in line. Fuck that! 10 club shitty balcony seats for me if it is a guarantee.

That’s a great score through TM but with such a limited number of shows and limited number of tix allocated to TM this time around, the odds of scoring good (or any) tix through the general sale are going to be much tougher I’d imagine. Never hurts to try though.

I got Tampa and Lexington reserved in 2016 run. 2nd and 4th choice, had GA KY 1st and Tampa 2nd.  Both GA were under 30%. Don't know wrigley GA n2 in 2016 but 1st and only choice got it.

thin I'm going to have to play it safe and redo my picks

I don't want to chance missing out so much on Fenway, maybe N2 for the 2nd pick. I need at least one night Fenway. I could play it safe and 1 & 2 Fenway 

Isoworld13

Trying for all 4 BOS & CHI.  Have a low # & want best chance to score tix in all 4.  I would think that Wrigley Saturday &  Fenway Labor Day Sunday are most desired. Would also think that an August Monday in Chicago is more desirable than the Tuesday after Labor Day in Boston.  What sets the cities apart is the GA.  No GA is HUGE for senior members, and i believe that alone drives up the desire for those shows.  Going to watch the odds and play the best combo.  Right now I'm thinking #1 Fenway SUN #2 Fenway TUE #3 Wrigley SAT (res) #4 Wrigley MON (res)

They said they have more reserved seats this time then in 2016 so there’s a chance for fenway with your 2nd/3rd pick.

I bit the bullet and put in my picks.  I've been so consumed and stressed but now my fate is in the hands of the lottery! 

Anyway, I got a $1 charge on my CC then it was subtracted.  Now I know they said they were going to put the charge on but I thought it would stay there until it changed to my total?  Anyone know anything about that?

If you win the lottery on Monday, the total will be charged.

Thanks.  I don't remember the charge being taken off in the past, I recall it changing to the total.  I must be getting old!

There wont bee as many people putting in for shows that they are not attending because it will be harder to sell/trade tickets and they will have to eat the price.  Get stuck with one extra set and you might as well buy on stub hub.

If past changes or rules are any indication a lot of people are going to miss or ignore this and come on here or Facebook on the 12th crying or asking for a work around. Hope you are right but with reserved staying as strong as it is I expect a lot of people are going to be eating tickets if they win GA.

If you win GA you won't have the reserve tickets to eat.  Its the extra accounts and tickets to shows that you don't go to but used to trade or sell that will get sketchy.  At Fenway, at least, My tickets were checked every time I left and returned to my seats. Better have access to both tickets.

I am saying if you and your ticket buddy wins a combo of GA and reserved. Also if I go with my wife my ticket will be tied to her phone as a pair. If I get up to go the merch or the bathroom I will not have my ticket on me. There is no way they can enforce this imo.

My pics are Wrigley Night 1 GA, Night 2 GA, Night 2 Res, Night 1 Res. This will be my first time to see them live, I have a real high number would y'all recommend me start thinking about changing my first 2 pics to reserved? I want to make sure I'm in the building but would really be on the field.

You won’t win GA with your second pick so you’re really hurting your third pick.
