Are there multiple drawings for each show until they run out of tickets?  Do they start with NYC and pull everyone that had NYC as a 1st show choice, and then onto those that had NYC as a 2nd show choice and so on, or is it one big pool of everyone that put in for NYC in one drawing?  Has to be the former correct or the show priority really wouldn't matter?  This is the kind of thing that would have been useful to take deep dive into on the Faithful Forum, other than "hey, what shows plan to attend on the tour".

Yeah, they are going to go show by show.  From the 16th - 19th.  Not sure if they will send by show or once all of your picks are done.

They'll charge your card as you get picked

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 ..

So with the ability to sell your 10C tickets for face value in the fan-to-fan exchange its now possible to have non 10C members in the 10C only GA pit. Not that I'd expect alot of GA tickets to be sold but still. 

So lets say the odds for the show I request are 50/99 and I chose reserved seats as my priority. Do they draw the GA and Best Available priorities first and the people who don't get GA from that cut into the ticket pool for the people who went strickly seats as their priority? I guess I am trying to not be in GA but give myself the best chance of being drawn for a seat if that makes any sense.

They draw names at random, and if your option is available, you get tickets. 

I thought they took everyone who wanted GA first as a Priority 1, and then drew random names until GA is filled up.  

Lets say, for argument....if only 50 people wanted GA as their #1 priority....they would take all of those GA people and they would all get tickets.  THEN they would find everyone who had GA as their #2 priority, and start in with them.  Then go through the rest. 

Then if there were still GA tickets available....they would then dig into the "Best Available" groups and start filling them in.   Once they run out, they would then pool the rest of Best Available and the Reserved Only.

Best Available is the same as requesting GA as your preference first, the only difference is that if you select GA only.....you miss out all together if you don't get selected for GA.  There is no longer a secondary reserved option to fall back on.

I got that part....but lets say that YOU selected Best Available, and I selected Reserved Only. 

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?

All pooled together and they seniority is applied....

Only for reserved seating is seniority in play ..

Sorry...thought that was a priori knowledge....the poster asked :

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....

I think people are overthinking the “best available” vs the just GA or Reserved.

before if you wanted to gamble with GA that meant you were likely to not get any tickets if Reserved was #2.

This just puts both GA and Reserved at equal priority. So when GA runs out you still have a very good shot at reserves. It doesn’t mean that those who chose just Resevred will get priority over Best Available. Even choosing best available just defaults to checking both the GA and R options.

I like being in front of the stage more than the side so I go for GA. I don’t line up for more than 30 minutes though.

When is the evening update again? I wonder if we get two more or not. It ends 4am my time so won't matter either way for me.

Is there anyway to check on the tickets odds? I see the OP, but it's only as of Jan 13.

Just have to go back into the request pages but not actually put in any new requests.

You always had non ten club members in GA.  Except now they'll pay face value instead of buying super expensive tix that were scalped by fan club members.

At this point in my life I would prefer having a seat, but I put best available and will take what I get. 

Odds for reserved seats are far greater for every show, depending on which show many of them are practically a guarantee at 99%. If you prefer a seat, there's no reason to even shoot for GA.

Sure there is: Using the Scotia Bank Arena as my point of reference, I would much rather have a seat in 109-108 than anywhere in GA. But, I would much rather have a spot in GA at back where people aren’t crammed (keeping in mind the GA section is not the entire floor), than a seat in any section from 106-121.
