So, I am 3 for 11.
That is one way to look at it, but I think this really illustrates the potential for confusion by looking at wins/entries. In 2013, 2016 and 2020 you put in for multiple shows, but you knew (or should have known) that only your first choice had a real shot (I'll be honest - I thought there was a slim chance that an MSG/Baltimore ticket might pay out this year, but definitely not the other way around, and I was clearly wrong anyway). I look at this and see 3/4.
Overall since 2013 I have won 6 out of the 11 shows I put in for. Before adding these up I didn't realize I had only won about half the shows I tried for. Is what it is. I still made it to a couple of the shows I didn't win through 10C. Joined the 10C in 2000 I think.

What this tells me (and pretty much further supports my notion/opinion) is that if you're seeking to get in the door - and aren't GA dependent - you'd pretty much be batting near perfect.
Near Perfect? Near perfect would be winning 10 out of 11 shows. This tells me I have a 55% chance of getting in the door. I won 6 out of the 11 shows that I put in for.
Like a word misplaced...nothing said...what a waste

I've gotten lucky a lot in the lottery. 13 total wins and 22 total shows in the last 7 years
I'm 5/27....some of those are GA and Res for one show but a few more in the L column for me. Lost Res only for MSG this week...knew the odds weren't great but was hoping that luck would be on my side. Oh well, hoping they saved some good seats for the TM presale although I'm trying not to get my hopes up just in case.
I put in GA only for destination shows. Those within driving distance of Richmond I strategize my picks to get in the building. Hitting .583 which sounds about right.

I'm going to guess that the 5 other shows that you put in for followed the same request pattern as above. Example: The Brooklyn shows - you put GA first & second for both shows; seats were going to be somewhat harder to get as well going into second choices let alone third.
GA for NYC lost - that's pretty well self explanatory
You got seats at Wrigley in your third choice - which makes complete sense
As stated - if you simply want to get in the door always choose BA or seats instead of GA for your first/second choices.
or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah... makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

Honestly. 11/85. That is unbelievably unlucky. There should be an entire thread dedicated to getting you tickets to your next desired request. Good luck in the future

No its not. Some (most) of those picks were wasted. Not to single him out but I believe he picked all GA this year and went 0/4. But he didn't have a chance for GA beyond 1st choice. I hope he finds the tickets he wants.
I really can't say, haven't dwelled on it too much. I'm pretty sure I have got 10club tickets to every show I've tried for with the exception of the Borgata shows. I will say that pissed me off since I live 45 minutes from there. But I do believe I got 10club tickets for all 4 Spectrum 2009 shows. I know I went to all four shows and had really good seats for each. That may have been the first year of the lottery. I've never won the lottery myself, but aside from the Borgata shows, the fan club has been very good to me. I joined the fan club because sometime in the late 90's I tried to get tickets, stood in line and kept hearing, the fan club gets first chance, all the good tickets go to the fan club. I joined and have been pretty lucky since.
Man, after reading some of the stories and ratios here I feel really lucky. I only joined 10c in 2015 and won tickets for Toronto in 2016 (parlayed my spare into a ticket for night 2, only try for hometown shows). Got tickets for the tour opener this time around so I’m 2-for-2.
Edit: I also only put in for seats since GA’s not my scene (figure let those that do enjoy, enjoy, lol) which ups my chances obviously.
