***Spring 2020 Lottery Results***

Any idea when today’s drawings will start?  It seems like they started about this time the last three days.

I think the odds tool worked. If anything it might have only shown round 1 odds and not overall odds, which would be a change. But given that for most shows except Bal and MSG rounds 3 and 4 were winners it probably was correct.
I know anyone who didn’t get tickets doesn’t want to hear this, but the most likely reason is user error. I say this based on the amounts of comments you can read about people not knowing they had to prioritize at the end and not as they go, and especially the fact that all new entries deletes all previous ones, that has been a big one. 

It sucks and I feel bad for anyone who missed out, but just reading comments that seems like the simplest explanation.

It should have said round one odds then.

plenty of fans got denied to 99% shows and stated they picked only one show, stated they can only consider one show, so can we agree to pause the user error explains everything theory?

Doesn’t it seem funny as well that the first 2 days seemed to go smoothly?

And that the Nashville and St. Louis drawings yesterday seemed to spark all of this 

Canadians follow instructions better?

Get yer independence first then we’ll talk.

Wat?

Secured tix for the Baltimore show, but my email didn't convey whether is for GA or Reserved. Any clue as how to determine which we scored?

LOL, I just checked in on the sold prices on StubHub for the MSG show.

Someone paid $2,500 each before fees for 4 tickets in Sec 108.

That's like $13k for 4 tickets to a rock show.

It's ludicrous how much money there is in NYC.

We used to be protected with having to show up at willcall and not know where our seats are. Now anyone from anywhere in the world can put in for MSG tickets in the lotto and sell them on Stubhub. That market is fucked even more so the next show now that this new system is out imo. 

With NYS law the only way to prevent it would have been to stick with the hard ticket pickup the day of the show for MSG....which to be honest, based on these prices might have been the way to go.  I'm in the minority in saying that I see tickets as a commodity, just like any other good is, but 10C tickets are an exception.  Everyone here knows what the rules are, and if any of these listings are 10C the person should be banned for life.

Again though....$13k for 4 tickets?!?  That's clearly an exec that told his assistant, 'Get me 4 tickets for this PJ show next to the stage.  I don't care what they cost.', because no mere mortal is gonna drop that much knowing they don't have to.

Business expense. Take prospective clients to PJ for 13k to land $1M account. Great investment

All you needed to do was log back in at any time and it showed you the current odds.

I'm not saying this new process was the most intuitive I've ever seen, but give me a break.  It's 2020.  People need to figure out how to follow simple directions that are laid out in a 3 paragraph email.

My FB feed is a swampland of people complaining.  Some about how they were never advised they needed to sign up for for the TM Verified sale....

IT'S LITERALLY EMBEDDED IN THE EMAIL WE GOT TO SIGN UP FOR THIS LOTTO!

When people screw something up, rest assured, they will figure out a way to blame everyone but themselves.

I guess I’ll pay 500 for official platinum Ticketmaster tickets to Baltimore- oh well, it’s just $$$😔 

I don't even think that will be an option.  This fan to fan resale will be extremely interesting.  Not being able to adjust pricing is going to make this a curious situation.

I’d be willing to bet, 10C had to concede to TM in some fashion..... 


The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made."
They get so damn excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved.
It's good for drifting, drifting away.

I think you might be right, under the Baltimore ticket page on ticketmaster there is an option that starts in 11 days that says the following - 

Official Vitality Foundation Charity

Starts Fri, Jan 31 @ 10:00 am EST

Ends Sat, Mar 28 @ 07:30 pm EDT

For St. Louis

Official Platinum

Starts Fri, Jan 31 @ 10:00 am CST

Ends Sat, Apr 4 @ 07:00 pm CDT

Just got the e-mail confirmation for OKC. I picked best available (and my 10C e-mail and Ticketmaster e-mail did not match, which I was a bit nervous about after reading some of the comments).

It really blows my mind that people get shut out. Really not trying to be a dick but I’ve been doing this forever and have literally gotten every single ticket I’ve ever put in for. I do always choose RES, but I’m never not confident I’m going to get tickets...

Just got OKC confirmation.

Look at it this way....

Look at these StubHub prices.  If you have EVER won the 10C lotto in a major city, your membership basically paid for itself for like 20 fucking years.

As far as I'm concerned, winning GA @ MSG in 2016 paid for my membership for the rest of my life.

The rest is just gravy at this point.

I will never, ever complain if I don't win one of these things going forward. 

I may be disappointed, but never once will I cry about it.

That’s NYC...”there ain’t gonnna be any middle anymore” to a t. Tickets to most MSG events have increased exponentially in the last few years.

OKC confirmed, BA priority 1. Good luck to everyone today!

Just got email confirmation for OKC - best available.  Hopefully this means GA by getting it so early 

Dlmartin1984

Well the poor dude who used to  walk around the country with millions of dollars of tickets might have not felt protected? NY is an exception due to the transferability laws there. Most shows don’t have this issue.

I doubt the msg stub hub tickets are 10c. I just browsed the entire listing. All seats are in the back of each respective section. I doubt the members are sitting in the back of every section.

Just got confirmation for OKC @ 1145est. It was 1st priority GA. I had 2nd priority BA for Balt which is driving distance for me and got the email rejection letter so I was bummed but still gonna try verified fan. My nephew lives right outside OKC and loves PJ and is a guitar prodigy and only been to a few shows in his life is who I'm taking. I get to surprise him today with the news I'm gonna sit his ass right in front of Mike and blow his mind.
I'm honestly just happy to be thru this process. Talk about peeling the band aid slowly, ugh.
Best of luck to all of those still trying, I'll be with you for Balt if I win the verified fan lottery lol.
