P.S. I posted to FB to catch all the tears for those whom do not have their Pearl Jam ticket dreams come true.

Sorry in advance if this has already been answered but does anyone know how the 2 sections in GA work for the Missoula show? I don't want to pay that kind of cash and get stuck in the back section. Thanks.

Ok, I have to ask for your opinions. My top priority is Seattle 2 reserved. But I also would love to tack on Missoula and would like to try out GA there. I am hoping that the "enough tickets" comment is accurate. Here's my lottery choices:
Missoula GA
Seattle 2 Reserved
Missoula Reserved
Seattle 2 GA (this is probably highly unlikely)

Front is 10 club only. You will not get the back with 10 club tickets just ticketmaster.

Wow, Wrigley night 1 already at 76%.

Looks like a solid selection to me. Seattle 2 reserved as a second pick should be a sure thing. Make sure you keep an eye out though if the odds drop.

Are the odds based on your first choice selection? Meaning if you pick it as first choice it is that percent, and other choices will be lower?

I’ve searched a little and can’t find the answer on this one.

I can only hit the Saturday Seattle show. Obviously I’d prefer GA to Reserved, but I have a decent TC number (133xxx). My question is if I go GA, lose and end up winning reserve seats as my 2nd choice, will I still get seniority over the folks who had reserve as their #1 option? I know they fill all the #1 priority orders first, but do they assign them better seats than people who have more seniority? Or do they assign seats later, after the drawing?

Please let me know if that makes sense or if I’m an idiot.

the priority order is merely for the lottery. after the lottery, the seniority would then shake out against the whole group of reserved.

I'm not sure this is the case.  Reading the updated rules, it would seem that all #1 people would be awarded tickets first, prior to #2 and so on.  Seniority would seem to only apply within your priority group upon "winning" your lottery.  See below where they say "If any tickets remain".  It seems that a member with membership #100 and prioritizing Fenway 1 Reserved as #2 would not get a better seat than a member with membership #800,000 and prioritizing Fenway 1 Reserved as #1 assuming both are picked for the lottery.  The club probably thinks they do a good job of explaining this, but they really don't.

"Show Priority
You are required to select each show in priority status when entering the drawing. Sorry, there can only be one #1 show no matter how many shows you may want to go to equally. During the drawing, 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."

Yes you have seniority regardless of where you winning spot is prioritized.

Also just to help you with planning, and to avoid any surprises later... currently there is no Saturday Seatttle show. I’m betting you meant Friday?

i think seniority is regardless of where you put your priority.   

if I put Show X as 2nd priority, and you put Show X as your #1 priority, you will get those tickets first.   Then...if there are tickets left, then I would get tickets.    

Then, once they have the whole group, they go by seniority.

Thank you! Good luck to everyone!

While I was fortunate enough to be in GA for both Wrigley 1 & 2 in 2016, I have no idea how many people the pit held....1,500 / 2,500 / 5,000.  Does anyone know what the GA-only attendance was for those shows?  I assume no changes will be made for the 2018 shows.

Only show I'm attending this round is Missoula.  Lotto entered, Reserved 1st, GA 2nd.  Fingers crossed!!!!  Looking forward to this so much.

The forum on days like this makes me grateful to no longer be in customer service.
