    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 have a low number as well. 

    The way I look at it, just to get into the building your better off choosing both GA & reserved. The odds are in your favor as opposed to selecting just one.

    for whatever 7% reason that you get selected for GA.

    you have two options 

    Sell them using there new system.

    or try and work out a trade with someone. That might be difficult but I’m sure it’s possible.

    imagine how many posts could be saved if someone official just explained it to us all. 

    I thought I understood, then I read through this thread lol
    It wouldn't make a difference. They could lay it out completely and there would still be 200 follow up questions. As it is, many people are confusing or misstating stuff in the directions. Or making assumptions and stating them as facts, further confusing people.

    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? 
    That's exactly what I did in 2016...got QC only. Eventually traded my extra QC for an Ottawa GA
    Thanks! 
    Were odds comparable?

    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"
    Lol. This is awesome.

    Folks.  seniority takes precedence when it comes down to seat location for reserved seats.  It has always been this way and always will.  GA,  get there at 3AM in the morning day of show,  maybe earlier.  Wait in line and than run as fast as you can to the rail.  See you got front row,  no seniority determined just how much pain you are willing to take sleeping on the street and how fast your legs can get you to the rail  when they open the doors.  Like target on Black Friday.

    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. 
    What am I missing here? It’s not like reserved is gonna full up before GA. If all you want is reserved, put reserved. 
    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. 
    Right but this is the first time best available has been an option. Before, reserved and GA had to be ranked 1 and 2. With best available, if your name gets pulled and GA is still available, you get GA. If not, you get reserved. 

    By saying you chose best available but would prefer to sit, you aren’t giving yourself 2 chances. It’s the same chance with 2 different options, and the first one is the thing you don’t want. If you just put reserved and your name gets pulled, you’ll get a seat. If you put best available and your name gets pulled and GA is still available you’ll get GA but you could have had a seat if you’d just put reserved.

    Maybe these odds were nonsense and just to make us feel better.

    I give myself multiple chances at being in the building by choosing best available. While I prefer a seat I’ll stand rather than miss the show. I just looked at my 10 Club ticket purchase history. I had reserved serving only selected for 2020 Copenhagen and 2016 Fenway night one and lost both. When I think about it further I’ve never lost on GA tickets before. Just reserved when that was all I selected.

    These GA pits are so small, I don't understand why people would get in line for hours before the show.  Full disclosure, I am 6'5" so the idea of being on the rail isn't directed by my need for a good sight line.  With that said, I have been to a number of shows with this relatively new and small GA section.  In a lot of them the worst standing position would be at the most 15 rows back and because they are limited for fire safety reasons on the number of people they can allow into the section, there is a ridiculous amount of room from about 2/3rds of the way back to the front row of the floor seats.  Unless the whole floor is GA, I see no reason to make myself miserable by waiting in line for hours, just to sit on the floor in front of the barrier for hours....I am admittedly old though...

    this is not true, ga is also determined by seniority.  there are little spots on the floor with your fan club number.  if you put in for one ga, there will be one number.  if you put in for two numbers then there are two numbers.  they start with ed center and work toward mike....stone side is usually reserved for higher fan club numbers.  only difference between ga and reserved is that reserved has actually seats to sit between sets.  ga...yeah we have to stand the whole time.
    good luck to all!

    This seems to be true. I agree with you based on how I think this works

    This is different then the lotteries I’ve been in for 10c in the past though. They use to separate GA and reserved for the same show into different priorities. Not any more
