    Still not 1 mention of lawn tickets or behind/side stage tickets. That tells me that they haven't completely sorted the other options yet.

    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

    of course they should - its not a lottery done by priority ranking - the ranking only comes into play once chosen
    No, that is not how this ever has worked

    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
    I just sent them an email asking why people with #1 priorities are apparently losing out to be people with lower priorities. We'll see what they say, if they answer me.
    I got multiple non English speakers just replying in broken English saying random lottery no rules. Good luck and thank you for choosing tickets today. Asked to speak to someone else they said no guarantees, thank you for choosing ticketstoday. It's no wonder the lottery was fucked they moved it offshore 
    If this is true not sure what the point is paying yearly subscription to just deal with the same BS

    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.


    Its a lottery, so someone could get chosen for all nine shows and get all their choices whereas others who had entered get nothing - simple as that.

    Where the show was in your order only matters if you actually got picked
    This.

    It's a lottery. 

    If 1000 people requested tickets for Chicago N1 and they only had 500, then 500 people are outta luck. It seems priority might only increase your odds of winning (how much, we don't know), but it doesn't guarantee anything.

    And so on and so forth for each show.

    That's how someone could get lucky 5 times and get tickets for 5 shows, and someone else might get unlucky and get nothing.

    None of the previous 10C lotteries were run this way.

    Which renders the point of the priority question completely redundant, no? 

    The show priority question is one that nobody has been able to answer all day.

    I have a far lower number than you and I'm behind you in the same section.

    I had, oh I don't know... a 10 year run of being no worse than 4th row when things were strictly by seniority. Since the switch it's been difficult to get tickets to shows anymore. The system most definitely DOESN'T WORK (as it's described). It doesn't help that 10C changed my number the first year I paid online and said the membership number doesn't mean anything. I was 40,xxx and moved up nearly 100,000 in number after that fiasco.

    Put in for Chicago 2, Indy, Chicago 1 for priority, and ended up with only Chicago 2, behind a whole bunch of folks who's membership number is higher than mine. Confirmed on the last tour in Hamilton and Toronto that people in front of us for rows were all 200,000+ higher members or even non members who bought tickets through various 3rd party sites.

    I honestly didn't expect this to work well, it hasn't for years. I essentially don't come here or follow much at all because there's been some folks managing things in the club that are not customer (fan) focused. This is why tickets continue to be a mess. I would have much rather taken my chance on Ticketmaster, because it would have worked out better.
    Not sure i'd call 140xxx "far" lower than 168xxx, out of 700xxx or whatever.
    According to the Ten Club he should still have the better seats due to seniority.

    One persons entry at 9 in the ranking is just as good an entry with an equal chance of getting chosen as someone that had the same show at choice 1
    It's like you are missing brain cells. If this was the way you would have austin and dfw emails at the start too.

    It goes by city and GA first. Then reserved based on priority of shows. 

    Ticketmaster botched it and 10c may or may not be trying to make it right. TBD if they get a scathing email tomorrow about their lack of support for the people that keep this band afloat.

    Ive been thinking and in all the reading there is a common theme, About 1.4 did very well, Seeing some scoring on 6 of 6 with a GA and good seats and others next to nothing. Then for Austin people started getting a second fulfillment for a show already won. I want to think that not all, or a large number of 10c members entries were not in their system. When this was discovered and TM attempted to load the missing members it happened while Austin was being pulled and it reset the entries and start doubling up.. Once it caught up people started scoring but with much worse seats then they others with higher 10c or higher priorities.

    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. 
    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.
    It was confusing with the GA/ Reserved option but it was like using your first priority for a shot at GA and reducing your chances for limited reserve. People who physically can't do GA would have the worst odds and that doesn't seem reasonable. 
    I had knee replacement last year. I'm fine but standing for 3+ hours isn't fun. That's why I put in for reserved seating only. It doesn't make sense how my odds go down because of that. I ain't complaining though.

    So then why did no one get GA with a 2nd or later pick? Seems statistically uh improbable under the system you laid out.

    by that logic, priority has nothing to do with it. Its essentially a completely random lottery. and it comes down to your number drawn or not.

    As usual this lottery process is quite bizarre. I requested both FW and both ATX as GA/Reserved, and lo and behold, I got the 4 shows, only one GA (FW), the rest reserved with decent loacations. #671xxx

    I wonder if this lottery mess up is going to result in extra shows being added.

    Might be implied there................

    Exactly. DMB lotteries works the same way. You can assign priority to a single show to increase your chances, but it doesn't guarantee you'll get it.

    The Ten Club page calls this a presale, not a lottery. The word is not used at all on that page at least.
