For lower member numbers the reserved seating option is the way to go as far as I see it , GA is for folks who wanna line up and wait ..
I personally love GA for any concert so I can hang in the middle back, just behind everyone and have enough space to enjoy the show, move/jump around and not be elbow-to-elbow with people like if I’m in seats.
My thinking for wanting a seat but putting in Best Available is that my main goal is to be in the building. I would rather have two shots at that then putting in Reserved Seating and not getting anything. That happened to me for the Copenhagen show and I had to scramble for gen pop tickets.
Hoping for GA at Both Ottawa and Quebec City. Both are at 99% for Reserved so getting tickets is not a risk. It's all about GA.
Currently have: 1) Ottawa 64% of GA 2) Quebec City 88% of GA
My thoughts are this gives me the best odds of GA with a slim shot of Zero GA. Or do I switch priority and all but guarantee GA at one show, but run slim odds of getting both.
What's everyone else thinking? What time (EST) are the odds updating?

Really is amazing that with hours left, only 2 shows in the North America tour are less than 99% for reserved. I love how Pearl Jam is looking out for their fans like this.

What am I missing here? It’s not like reserved is gonna full up before GA. If all you want is reserved, put reserved.
Maybe I'm missing something but how come every time PJ has toured since 2013 people don't get that reserved seating locations are determined by seniority. They come here and post myths, untruths, conspiracy theories, and lies and even when it is explained there are people who don't get it.

I mean a lot can change in 6 hours but yeah it does seem to look like TC has acquired way more tickets this time around especially since in 2016 the MSG reserved odds were like 17% . Anything over 50% for one MSG show is a success in my mind. Obviously it will stink for those who dont in but hey at least PJ is trying their best to obtain a shit load of tickets for everyone. It isnt their fault everyone wants to get in the solo NYC show.

Agreed. This is awesome.
Hopefully the odds are correct. As Vedd Hedd pointed out, how are they counting best available? It seems they are definitely included in the GA odds. So do the best availables that don’t win GA get reclassified to reserved once the GA is full?
Quick question, are reserved seating locations determined by seniority? Thanks.
The higher your member number, the better your seat!

I see what you did there McGruff....and we aren't going to bite at your obvious attempt to bait us into telling you that "yes, it is determined by seniority" before waxing on about how stunned we are that the previous 50 or 60 times that info has been relayed on this post were overlooked by the poster.....not going to do it. Wait...I think I just did....damnit McGruff you just took a "bite out of time"
Sorry...thought that was a priori knowledge....the poster asked : So, the very last GA seat was given out, and you didnt get GA.
Who goes next? Best Available? or Reserved Only? Or are we pooled together? My response was to that specific question. So...after GA is all dried up, Best Available and Reserved Only are pooled together and seniority comes into play....
From what I understand, Let's assume 2k GA and 5k Reserved:
They take everyone who picked GA or Best Available as 1st Choice... put them in a digital hat and start pulling names. IF There are GA left when those names are gone, they will add people who had it 2nd choice and keep pulling until they have all 2K GA tickets spoken for.
THEN: Once all the GA is gone. They put the remaining "best available" names into a digital hat with the Folks who had Reserved only, and begin pulling names from the digital hat for 1st Choice, then 2nd Choice etc.... until all 5k Reserved are gone.
Then they take the 5k Reserved seats and dole them out based on Membership seniority.
I think.

Has anyone tried to go in after submitting their picks and re-arranging or adding to their choices? Is that still possible?
No, you have to go in and do a new request. It will supersede your previous request so only the latest request will be honored.

What I’m saying is I’ve done that very thing a few times and ended up not getting any tickets. The latest occurrence was for the upcoming Copenhagen show for this year.

That's exactly what I did in 2016...got QC only. Eventually traded my extra QC for an Ottawa GA
It seems to me that if a show is at 50% GA, it includes people that put best available. Which means the people who put best available, that don't get GA, will flow into the reserved section, maybe meaning the reserve % is a bit too high.
I think you're right about the best available flowing into the reserved when GA is gone but I don't think that will affect the 99% odds. The 50% that don't get GA get reserved. They still have enough reserved seats for all the entries. Example 100 pairs of GA and 500 pairs of reserved. When 200 people go for Best Available, 50% will get them and the other 100 get reserved. 400 more people still have the 99% odds for reserved. Just my theory to add to the mix. Not actual numbers for total tickets available.
Does anyone have final odds from home/away shows in 2018.
