Anecdotally seems like reserved is coming out in 10C number order.
if someone got a show as priority 3, it should mean that all who had it as 1/2 should get tickets.
Good observation, from the member #s mentioned reporting so far. (Low, and rising) Its good to see that even at your priority #3 choice, you can still get a nice reserved with a good # (lower demand show?). It seems seniority for seat placement is being honored.
I selected Chicago 2 as priority #1 and Chicago 1 as priority #2. Crickets here.
I only selected GA or Reserve, thinking there was no need to select Reserve as well. I assumed that if I didn't draw GA, I had the same chance as someone who also selected Reserve only. Based on what I am seeing here, that assumption may have been incorrect....
I hope that wasn't the case... I assumed that you could only check 1 box... how naïve of me...
i figured the second box was only intended for people who didn't want GA.... (yes, those people do exist)...
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
So am I understanding this right? The folks that just picked GA/reserved are maybe having regrets that they didn't opt for all seating options?
Has anybody seen any tickets for behind the stage pop up yet? Or have they not gotten that far yet?
GA is always more difficult. Even though they threw in the reserved piece with it this time, I am guessing it was pretty much designated to GA. I have gotten every ticket I've put in for, save waiting on Fort Worth knock on wood, but I am not a GA guy. I think if you just put reserved you probably had a really good chance of getting tickets.
Sure but based on everything we know, a GA/Reserved for a Priority 1 show who lost GA, should still get Reserved tickets over a Priority 2 entry Reserved only.
I wonder if something goofy is going on with that like it ran GA and didn't work and that was it for that request? They probably should have just left it as GA only. But who knows.
Gotta sell those nosebleeds to the new members that want GA though!

I think your assumption was correct. They made it clear that GA/Reserve was really for both. Just reserved means you just don't have a chance for GA.
You would have thought. But it seems like everyone pulling reserveds - even with 2nd and 3rd choices - also selected the reserve only option. Seems like there may have been two separate bins, so to speak. Those that didn't get GA don't seem to have been bumped over to the reserve draw, or at least are at the back of that line after all priorities are exhausted.
All, it's not totally confusing as to why someone who listed any show as 2nd priority would get a ticket and someone with 1st priority wouldn't. My understanding is they group those in 1st priority, run the randomizer/lottery and issue tickets to those who get picked. Once that's done they do that again for 2nd, 3rd, 4th priority etc until all the allotment is gone.
I could be wrong. Someone let me know if they know otherwise.
No. First priority are drawn first. If tickets remain, they move on to second priority entries. A first priority person should never lose and a second priority person win.
That's not how it's worked for the last few tours I don't believe. Been multiple past examples of 2nd, 3rd priority ppl getting tickets and 1st priority ppl getting nothing. it's caused a lot of butthurt for some folks. My first priority was Chicago N1. Haven't received an email yet. Yet some people at 2nd priority have reported getting reserved tickets.

We have no way of knowing, based on results, whether checking the second box mattered, because nobody has actually lost any reserved lottery entries yet.

Not following what you are saying. The way it worked in the past, if they had fewer tickets than demand for all of those entered in priority 1, they they would run a lottery to see who in priority 1 scored tickets and who did not. Priority 2 entries would only have a chance once Priority 1 entries were fully satisfied. So for a Priority 2 pick to hit there had to be tickets left over after assigning tickets to all Priority 1 entries.

or those that were 10C members in 1998 and let their memberships lag for one reason or another ...

I have Chicago 2 as my first priority and nothing so far. But I did include side stage and behind the stage as options so maybe I will get those. 🤷♂️I just want to find out something

That is the reason we put priority down. It makes no sense to have priority for pics if it was random as you said. In no way should someone that picked a show as a 2nd get it over someone that put it as a first. That is a broken system

Definitely could see something getting messed up with this.

Possibly on your last remark. No way of knowing for sure cause they weren't really super clear.
