In order to increase your chance of getting tickets, please select all of the seat preferences you would be willing to accept.
I get that, but what is the difference between the Reserved part of GA or Reserved and Reserved Only?
Logically by choosing only GA Or Reserved you’re accepting that you’re ok with either ticket type?
That was my thinking - those people that didn't want GA, choose Reserved only, those who were ok with "GA or reserved" just choose that option. Odds stayed the same to get a ticket....
That was my thinking too. But based on people's reporting here, it didn't play out that way for shows outside of the Texas shows. There are some here that will say that 'I picked both options and got tickets so how can you know which option I was awarded tickets under". I agree, you can't. However, I have yet to see someone here who picked only GA or RES (notes RES only) that has been successful in pulling tickets. If someone has, please confirm!!
Does that mean that there is some conspiracy? No. Could it mean that the algorithm /lottery draw process unfolded in a way that was unintended? Absolutely. That's not a conspiracy theory, it is a possibility that has yet to be ruled out.
To be clear, if I end of with no tickets out of this process, I will be fine with no crying or whining. The fan to fan process (at least last time) is excellent, and I fully expect to be able to pull tickets to a couple of shows through that process.
Prices are always high when first listed. Makes sense, throw some crazy price up there and wait for some dude with no patience and devastated. Sucker born every minute. Prices won’t be that high come August
They have no way to transfer these anyway, right?
Yes...it's called Wallet Transfer. You get a download link that puts the ticket in your Apple wallet...no need to transfer.
So it circumvents F2F?
Yes. One of the companies that offer such a service to brokers is called Automatiq.
Not sure that works as I think PJ has set the barcode to constantly refresh.
I couldn’t use wallet for a show I went to with AXS for same reason.
prevents this sort of thing.
They sell their TM accounts with tickets in them. It is again another broken system and every tour more and more scalpers are jumping on board.
Now though you can not select GA only so they get stuck with some nosebleeds potentially which might scare some people away.

If they did everything on seniority the same people would be at the same shows or the shows would be filled by the same people. No new people, no new fans to keep the momentum going. Maybe the lottery is random and not based on seniority that seems to be long gone. Priorities might be messed up but maybe it’s one big randomizer. Maybe they need to do it like the power ball and stream it.

Has anyone received an Indy confirm as a 2nd or 3rd option? Wife apparently had Indy as her #1 option and hasn't heard/seen anything at all. Chicago 1 and Chicago 2 were her 2nd and 3rd choices (nothing on those either).
I think she chose the three most difficult to get shows.
Wondering if there was a higher win rate for folks that put GA/Res AND Res vs. folks that only put GA/Res. I had GA/Res AND Res for both St.Paul N1 and N2 and got both (Res seats for both shows). I know 10C was instructing people to pick both to improve chances. Wondering if that actually played out to be the case. Also likely St.P was a lot lower demand than Chicago or Austin
I put in Indy Deer Creek GA res and got section F front row behind the Board. 247xxx
Nice. If you selected only GA or RES (and not RES only or both), you are the first I have seen to have pulled seats (ie not GA) in that fashion outside of Texas.
Starting to think that the side/behind stage draw for Chicago and the lawn draw for Indy is going to drag into tomorrow.

Nice. If you selected only GA or RES (and not RES only or both), you are the first I have seen to have pulled seats (ie not GA) in that fashion outside of Texas.
I put only GA or RES for St Paul 2 as my #1 and received GA tickets. Ft Worth 2 was my #3 (only GA or RES) and I received tickets for that as well. Nothing for Chicago, which was my #2, also only GA or RES.
I put in for a pair of tickets for Indy reserved. I have a 105xxx number (not that it matters) and didn’t hear anything, credit card not charged. Status still request received. Oh well.

if you put in for chicago as your first priority and didnt win, you are done, out. Say the first drawing was for 5K tickets and 5001 people had it as first priority. 5K people scored and one gut didn't. He's now done, no longer involved.
Now, round two is 1K tickets. Those go to only the people who put chicago as a second priority. The guy who got left out in the first round is not included in round two, he's done. That's why people who put chicago as priority 1 left with nothing and priority 2 and 3 people won. Cause they entered the priority round accordingly. just a thought, I know nothing.
The way I see it, this is how the 10C ticket lottery works:
1) lottery is done on a show-by-show basis 2) anyone who put in for GA for show #1 is randomly selected from the pool 3) priority increases your chance of being selected (maybe a 1.1 to 2x multiplier, but who knows; either way, while it increases your chances it doesn't guarantee anything) 4) rinse and repeat for shows #2-9 5) rinse and repeat for reserved seating for shows #1-9
Does that make sense?
This process would be a simple way to run the lottery on a show-by-show basis, and would explain how some people might get multiple shows, while others get none, regardless of priority.
Just my 0.2 cents.
#3 makes zero sense and you are really just making that up though on nothing.
The next part is not directed at anyone in particular
If this was all true. If priority does not really matter like we are saying it is then why are we not seeing any 3rd/4th/5th/9th priorities winning GA? Its not happening.
Its not happening because when they draw GA they start with, now wait for it, first priorities!!!! Say it with me... First Priorities!!!
Same goes for reserved. Every lotto I have done this is how they did it. We have people here that go over this stuff with a fine tooth comb. We over analyze this stuff we scrutinize it. Years and years of this. When something is off we know its off and this lotto is very much off.
What do we think is "off"? I haven't read all the pages in the thread but followed along for a while today. Has anyone posted actual confirmation someone won a higher priority that someone else had ranked first and whiffed? So many people post BS here just to stir the pot. And I'm sure the number of people that thought they were properly in the lottery but actually were not, is pretty far from 0.
