It would be entirely reasonable that the first pass for each event would be drawing “Reserved Only” for seats, as some/many would have specified that option for physical/health reasons (along with the fact that —without a “GA Only” option—they’re the only ones who listed a specific preference). It’s common in this type of thing to assign the most restrictive set first. If enough people checked that option (including many who likely ALSO checked “GA/Reserved”), then there may not have been many Reserved seats left once they got to drawing Reserved seats for people who only checked “GA/Reserved” and didn’t get GA.
I think that is a good hypothesis on how the algorithm was set up. But someone who was Selecting the GA or RES option only wouldn't have thought that if they didn't get GA that their RES request would be subordinate to someone who chose RES only. That's the frustrating part.

Exact this is not reasonable at all
Oh?
Why would it be reasonable to select from the Reserved only entries first for Reserved seats before selecting from the GA Reserved entries? It's not reasonable at all.
Still trying to wrap my head around - and there will never be an answer - how folks had Reserved Chicago as a third and fourth option and got seats but many people had them as 1 or 2 and didn’t. Mind boggling.
It is unexplainable despite the fact that many are trying to do so.

I chose one show because that's all I could afford. My Ten Club number is 323xxx and I ended up in well back in section 115 in Austin. I clicked the GA/reserved option for the show. Not going to complain too much. Pearl Jam hasn't been within an hour of me in nine years, and I'll be in the building for it. Though, I did have much better seats through Ten Club in 2013 when they played Dallas. Like, way better.
Is this Austin 1? I haven't read this whole forum but I wonder if something weird happened there. I had it first priority and didn't receive confirmation until a few hours ago. Same thoughts seat wise

I said why in the very first sentence: “ some/many would have specified that option for physical/health reasons”.
But that still doesn't make it reasonable. If they were going to do it that way, it makes no sense to get rid of the GA only option.
FWIW, I requested reserved seats for 1. Indianapolis; 2. Chicago 1; 3. Chicago 2; including side/rear for Chicago. I haven’t received any email whether positive or negative. Not sure what to make of it, but I’m clinging to (dwindling) hope. #218xxx

About 12 hours in now. Still waiting my my only pick… St. Paul night 1. There’s still time. Slow and steady wins the race
And I got St. Paul 1 with my 4th pick. But I didn’t get Austin 1 with my 2nd pick, or St Paul 2 with my third pick.

I didn’t choose OR as I’ve been dealing with a nerve issue in my leg - I can’t stand in GA.
Again choosing OR doesn’t at all explain how ppl had 3rd and 4tj choices. And got seats but those with 1/2 didn’t; OR doesn’t explain that.
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...
I’m still curious where they’re hiding the Chicago side/behind stage and the Indy lawn tickets
Good question…..I think tomorrow will bring more tickets awarded…..probably not any answers though

You’re nuts, but thank you for your perspective!
I mean, I’ve been doing this for a living for 30 years, but whatever floats your boat.
Indy was my only show. Picked Reserved Only and scored.
About 12 hours in now. Still waiting my my only pick… St. Paul night 1. There’s still time. Slow and steady wins the race
And I got St. Paul 1 with my 4th pick. But I didn’t get Austin 1 with my 2nd pick, or St Paul 2 with my third pick.
Jeez Ryan, making me feel even better over here!! Lol. Congrats! Something weird happened on the back end. Super happy for everyone who got picked regardless
I got both Chicago 1 (1st priority) and Chicago 2 (2nd priority), great seats in 101 1st row ..#168xxx
Clicked all boxes as 10club advised…
The system works!
Really, tell that to someone who had Chicago 2 as priority 1 and didnt get a ticket. (clicked all boxes as well)
It’s a lottery. I’ve been shut out many times over the years, and won many times as well. The lottery is a chance for everyone, not a guarantee. If you don’t hit the Powerball jackpot, you can’t blame the nice lady pulling the number balls.

But in this lottery noone with a priority 2 should win ahead of a priority one for the same seat type
Anybody know when the emails are coming out to “claim” the tix? Got both Ft Worth reserved. Member number in 700ks. Had one in the 3-400ks but boned myself by letting my membership lapse
