So far I got both MSP Reserved (2nd and 4th priorities) and am waiting on both FW (1st and 3rd) and on Chicago 1 (5th and not expecting).
I got worse seats than someone with a worse 10c number though which is annoying.
Seeing a lot of this. Very frustrating. If this is widespread on top of priorities being skipped with later rounds winning over 1st rounds there is going to be a lot of unhappy people. I will wait till after the draw is done though and see how this plays out.
Yeah, seems like the longer I'm in the 10C, the further away my tickets keep getting.
It's getting to the point where I'd rather just try my luck with the Verified/Public On Sale.
Pretty sure it's a combination of: 1. Larger GA means less floor seats, and you're pushed up the sides 2. Addition of Premium on the sides also pushes back 10c seating 3. Less shows means more fans trying for the few dates available 4. More 10c ticket availability means more fans likely squeezing between your number and the lowest seats 5. Misalignment in 10c's method of what is "best" isn't what we'd expect individually (I'd rather be back of floor than on a wing)
Yes, there's a lot of contributing factors to why my seats have continually gotten worse over the years
Which all seem to defeat my primary purpose of being in the fan club in the first place
For what it's worth...people say a lot of things here and on Facebook during lottery time. Not all of them are correct. Not all of them are true.
Most definitely. Maybe I'm naive in thinking people are generally truthful on here.
I don’t think that many people are straight up lying, but a lot of folks make mistakes around these lotteries. You’d be surprised at how often people, like, list their priorities backwards or upside-down or whatever. This goes double for second-hand reports.

This, plus people who only registered for Verified Fan and never actually entered the lottery.
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.
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
All I'm saying is there was a person here who said they got St Paul tickets for both nights at 5th and 6th priority and then there are people who put those as 1st and/or 2nd priority and haven't heard back yet. I guess they could still get tickets if they're sending out the emails by 10c number.
This is me. St Paul N1 GA/Res 1st priority and N2 GA/Res 2nd priority. How can that be that 5th and 6ths are hitting over that?
Im ok with it because I will just live on Fan 2 Fan for GA but I would also been ok with seats as my number is 200xxx.
Again, gonna see how it all shakes out but if it stands that I get no lotto wins, I'll absolutely send an email to inquire about this because just wow.
Same boat here: St. Paul N2 GA/Res 1st priority and St. Paul N1 GA/Res 2nd priority. No emails yet.

Has anyone who only clicked (GA or RES) gotten a reserved ticket?
For us that selected only clicked GA or RES, it is the million dollar question. I haven't seen anyone yet.
Nope. Just 2 GA for Night 1 MN show. Put in everything but TX.

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.
That's the way I've always assumed it goes. If people with Chicago 2 as priority 2 are getting tix then would think everyone with priority 1 would have been selected.

I figured that by selecting the GA/Res option that it would automatically qualify me for the Reserved only option as well
