    I take the shows with a grain of salt these days , I live in NY I’ve never won an MSG lottery so I stopped going those shows! Up till 2006 I was lucky with tickets in 03 I got 1st row both nights @ MSG those tickets we had to go into Manhattan and pick up the day before the show if I remember correctly and we were able to look at seating chart right there and sure enough I had 1st row both nights , so these days I see if I can drive to shows near me and I’ll shoot for those tickets. This time I wanted Baltimore way more than MSG I made that show my #1 priority and I scored I put MSG 2nd really just to see if I could get lucky but no biggie I lost ...

    Branch outside of the northeast bubble and you'll have much greater success

    After years of dealing with the craziness of getting tickets to show in and around Boston, getting tickets to Tampa (not through 10C) in 2016 was a breeze. It was also an eye opener to see the crowd file in gradually. (Didn't work so well with St Louis this year, though.)

    I guess the "free candy" sign in the window didn't help.

    I lost all these shows in 2013.  



    Were you able to get in to the Grand Canyon show?

    There looks like a common theme among your picks. And that is that you don't seem to understand that selecting GA after your top priority is a wasted pick in USA shows. I'm not saying it's your fault...more that it appears that you don't understand how the draws are done.

    For instance, in the first leg of 2013 tour - you threw your picks 2, 3 & 4 in the garbage and never had a chance to get something after Hartford reserved. (FWIW I did something similar in the 2014 tour, but learned from my mistake)
    Agreed. The more I read the more I figure I’ve been doing it wrong. Thanks.
    I suggest you step out on your porch...run away my son...see it all...oh see the world // I wait on the porch...hoping someday I'll be let in
