How has the 10club lottery treated you over the years?

SPEEDY MCCREADY

I am looking at my ticket history and I guess this will only be my 3rd time entering the lottery for tickets.
Looks like I have entered twice and was lucky enough to win both times. 

How have you done over the years?

Pretty well. 

2013 - Won Wrigley, Worcester 1 and Hartford, lost Worcester 2
2016 - Won Fenway 2, lost Fenway 1
2018 - Won Fenway 1 and 2
2020 - Won Baltimore (RIP)
2022 - Won MSG

I never put in for GA when it was a standalone option, which has no doubt helped.

I think I lost out on one of the early Chicago lottery shows but overall fairly successful.  

I never entered with GA as my first priority though.  I think that really cut your odds down, especially in big markets like Chicago.
I would guess my winning percentage to be around 80% maybe.

Only lost out to Brooklyn ‘13 both nights and Greenville’16. I’m convinced it’s because I put GA first priority instead of best available.

Had eight other entries and scored on all eight!

Did fine during the F5 years, got shut out some of the earlier lotteries but also were tough shows to get. Been doing relatively well all things considered, and not stressing as much for good seats with the larger allotment of tickets has been greatly appreciated. 

If I let my 10C lapse (signed up in 2003) I'd probably be less excited about my reserved seat location, but at the rate they are doing shows these days I'm content with just getting in the building.

2016 - Won Greenville 
2018 - Won Wrigley night 2. Lost Wrigley night 1.
2020/2022 - Won LA x 2, Nashville, St Louis. Lost MSG.

I let my original 1997 membership expire, rejoined in 2017, I’m hoping to get picked or to find a kind person with an extra in the forum like I was able to do for the last Wrigley show.

Pretty well, no complaints. To be honest, I don't care about being up front. Just want to be in the building & I'm a happy camper.

Win some. Lose some.  It’s all good.

We've only missed once.  Seattle 2013.  To be fair we're a couple that each has their own membership, which makes it a bit easier.

Vancouver 2013 (GA)
Seattle 2013 (Fail - to be fair if we knew the demand for Vancouver would of been rock bottom low I would of put Seattle as my first pref... big mistake!).
Wrigley 16 - GA both nights (Wife got night 1, I got night 2)
Seattle 2018 - GA both nights (same as Wrigley, I got one night, my wife got the other).
Oakland 2023 - GA Both nights (interesting story on that one.  I originally lost the lotto.  My friend also had a 10c membership and got us GA to one of the nights.   I managed to get GA for the other night through fan2fan.    So I used my membership to get a single GA ticket each night so a 3rd friend could come, so I both lost and won the Oakland lotto.. lol).

I think we had success because they were either less demand shows, or the shows in Chicago and Seattle were Stadiums and had massively large puts (I think the pits held more people than the entire floor at an Arena show).

I'm on the west coast, so while Seatle is tough, everywhere else isn't usually too bad.   I couldn't imagine living on the east coast where there's way more people.

Mercury

Won Wrigley 13, Pitt 13, lost Buffalo, all reserved 
Lost entirely in 14, Cincy and Detroit (no, I didn’t put GA only, on any of these entries)
Won Lexington, Wrigley night 1 in 2016 both reserved 
Won Wrigley night 1 reserved 2018
Won St Louis reserved 2020
Won Ed and the Earthlings night 1 Chicago (balcony)

Pretty decent overall with the exception of 2014, still waiting for some GA magic on my account though.

I’ve very fortunate and have never not been selected. 

2013 - Wrigley
2014 - Cincinnati
2016 - Lexington
2018 - Wrigley night 2(only time I put GA as my first choice). Scored night one in the public sale. I didn’t think I would be able to go to both nights originally.

Strong to quite strong.

My recent wins were Baltimore and Las Vegas.  Lucky me. 

deb1211

2018 won Wrigley 1 reserved and Wrigley 2 GA
2020 won Nashville and St Louis reserved

This is my first time getting to go since 2018 Home/Away Shows. Won both Wrigley nights that year and also won both Wrigley nights in 2016 as well as the Let's Play Two screening at the Metro later on. As a massive Cubs fan that 2016 year was so special to me.

Fingers crossed my luck continues but will only be able to go to one Chicago show this time.

Good luck everyone!

Did you get those St. Louis seats from the 10C lottery, or did you play the upgrade game via F2F? Those were amazing seats. I'm Dan who was behind you that night. I had traded my GA pair for them via a 3am ticket drop/swap with a fellow 10cer.

For lottery luck - I think I've done pretty well, but like everyone, I've had some misses. My first lottery was the 2014 tour. I didnt really understand how the priority of selections worked for that lottery and therefore messed up my selections...but I did get my first choice of Moline GA, which as we know was flippin' awesome!

I think it's going to be harder to get GA now. What I did the last 2 times in Chicago was prioritize the Wrigley show for GA that I knew would be the less desired of the 2 dates, and I got it both times. And I had reserved seats for the more popular date in each case. But now that they merged GA and reserved, and many will be set aside for PJP - I suspect GA is going to be brutal to get.

Never won a 2nd priority but most of those shows were in the Northeast so kind of understandable.

ComeToTX

I’m 100% but I also pick cities I’m confident in winning. 

BlueLedbetter

Very well but I think Europe is usually easier except maybe Amsterdam 

static111

I've always got great seats and received tickets for every show I put in for.  But I have a low number and usually only put in for 1 or 2 shows per tour.

My luck has generally not been great. Was even in the tiny percentage of people to whiff on both Fenway shows the first time around. Haven't missed a show but have really had to grind it out for tickets a couple times.
