GA/P1 - feels like its own GA only option.  The GA pit is a different color.
P1 is the blue
P2 was the orange

It wasn't particularly clear but I feel like the P stands for price. Since seated/GA are the same price they get tagged with the P1

Except that the option said "GA or P1 Reserved - Standing or Seating", so it wasn't just price.

Correct

It is possible that the Reserved P1 in option one refers to the seats on the floor, while the Reserved P1 in option two refers to the sections in the lower bowl of the arena (with Reserved P2 being the sections in the upper bowl of the arena).

I speculated earlier that there were no doubt people who did not choose all three options and that this would result in better chances of those people being shut out, and this thread is proving that assertion right. People may have had different reasons for not checking all three boxes. Some preferred getting no ticket to getting a ticket in P2. Some did not read the instructions. Some did not understand the instructions. Some did not believe the instructions. Whatever the reason, the result is that some people who would have gotten tickets if they had selected all three options ended up not getting tickets.

Reasonable response. I agree that the instructions were confusing or perhaps illogical, but I followed them anyway. My 2 shows had only the first 2 options. I chose both options and got Reserved for both shows. 

Just to be clear, because you're using the word "agree"-- I don't think the instructions were confusing or illogical. I thought they were clear, and so did both of the other club members I talked to before submitting my requests.

Do these two people have the same chance of getting drawn for P1 seats? Yes/no and why?

Person A: Checked GA/P1 and did not draw GA
Person B: Checked GA/P1 & P1 and did not draw GA

No, they don't have the same odds. Person A was only in one drawing. Person B was in two drawings. The first drawing filled out GA and the floor seats. The second drawing filled out the lower bowl seats.

That makes 0 sense. Drawings should be

1. GA- All people who selected Ga/p1
2. P1- All people who selected Ga/p1 who didn't get GA + people who selected p1
3. P2- All people who selected p2 who didn't win GA or P1

I'm just telling you that Person B had better odds because they were in two drawings. Whether doing it that way makes sense is a different question.

Why were they in 2 draws? That make 0 sense

Another perfect 10 

How do you know that this person only put in for these ten shows?

Oh no, maybe they went 10/12 or 10/14. Poor them. Yet I am supposed to accept this system as fair when my wife and I both went 0-4

Fairness can be measured by opportunity, or by outcome. It's clear where you stand on that. Meanwhile, there have been two instances reported in the lottery thread of people going ten-for-ten. This one would make three, if they were indeed ten-for-ten.

I went 8 for 10 (7 P1 and 1 GA in Missoula) and one of the two I missed was the night I couldn't get at MSG. The thing is all I really wanted was 1 or 2 GA where I could swap with a ticket buddy on the other night (LA, LV, MSG, or Philly). So, I didn't actually get the tickets I wanted despite winning the lottery 8 times.

So you went 8-for-9 then? Why would you give yourself an 0-for-1 when you didn't have an at-bat?

By the way, I'm not sure this will thrill the people who got shut out-- that there are people going for, and getting tickets, to shows that they don't even want to attend, but just want to use the tickets to barter with.

I didn't put in for any shows I don't want to attend. I was hoping to score one pair of GA for LA/LV (swap with a buddy here on the other night), do Missoula, and then maybe do two on the East Coast for whatever show I got swapping with a buddy on the other night. It seemed like a hopeful and unrealistic goal given I have gone 0-fer in lotteries before.

Does anyone have a better idea on how to get GA? I would love to hear it.

NewfieintheUSA

Anyways who is going to be in the PIT with me on opening night?

BV84003

There's nothing to suggest that the GA/P1 combo was ONLY for floor seating.

Been reading the comments of this thread and I've come to a conclusion. And this is coming from a long time member and someone who lost out on shows in my hometown this go around. I really hope some prominent 10c organizers or even some band members read some of the comments on this thread. Not to come together and find a solution on how to impossibly make everyone happy about this ticket lottery. Nooo, but to realize they are missing the mark on a future merch idea............. you win some, you lose some people. Some of you are acting like entitled whiny little babies. Get over it already

Well, that’s fine and dandy, but I don’t think any Ten Club member should strikeout on their own home show if they live there and are in the club. People flying in shouldn’t have preference over someone who actually lives in the city. It just seems jacked up that you can’t get a ticket in your own backyard. 🤷‍♂️ 

So, the people that have NEVER had a home show and have to travel to every show are to be considered less than deserving of a seat.  Hmmm, yeah no.  Be happy that you COULD get a home show that's more than some of us can even hope for.

I didn’t say that, but people that live in that city should be able to get a Ten Club ticket to a show in their own backyard. There would still be tickets left. They have done that in the past with club shows. LOCALS FIRST!

Not feasible. How many 10c members are in the NYC metro area? Enough to fill MSG several times over I'd imagine 

They're playing two shows, with a one-show fan-club ticket limit. MSG seats about 19,000. I doubt there are more than 38,000 Ten Club members in metro NYC, which is home to about six percent of the U.S. population. That would extrapolate to over 600,000 members overall in the U.S. all else being equal. Even accounting for a disproportionate number of members being in the NYC area, it doesn't add up. And we know that a significant portion of the membership is overseas.

Are you going to make each member attend solo or do they get a pair? Nitpicking my estimate aside, you don't dispute that it would be infeasible for 10c to guarantee each local member tickets to the show, which is the point. Especially with MSG's pre-existing policy denying the club any tickets in he prime lower bowl sections.

You believe the P1 seats in "GA/P1" and the P1 seats in "P1" are different pools of tickets?

Exactly. My theory is that selecting GA/P1 and P1 both gives you 2 ping pong balls in the P1 draw if you miss GA. I have no idea how else it improves your odds otherwise.

if it wasn't/isn't this, i'm not really sure what we are doing here lol. there's so much being speculated on that we simply will not ever know, because TM ain't telling us a damn thing, they don't care, but if this isn't how the drawings work, well... what even is the point

This. All of this. We have no idea how any of this worked. We speculate and assume, but really, we have no idea. That is a problem... No, that's not the right word. It's frustrating. The truth is that Ticketmaster doesn't care or want to give transparency into their process, and why would they? We keep buying tickets. Them being transparent would just lead to more headaches for them. We can complain all we want (and many have been), but it falls on deaf ears.

MusicDude415

you all crack me up.  Thanks for providing some entertainment behind this. 

As someone who went 0-fer on the two Philly shows, while yes I'm disappointed (and Monday was quite mad, ask my wife), it's not the end of the road.  Plenty of time to find tickets.  

Also, guess I sold my soul for the PJ lottery as we won the DMB lottery for both Camden shows in July, to the delight of wife.

I recall the 2020 tour shows having at or near 100% odds for Reserved, even in 2nd, 3rd priority selections.  Not all shows, but many, including some pretty high demand shows like St. Louis and Denver.  I don't recall if Nashville remained that high, but it was definitely up there.  The point is that the priority system seemed to work better at distributing the tickets more evenly than today's system.  Either that or they were getting more 10C tickets at that point, despite the notion that we're currently getting more 10C tickets than ever before.  

They specifically stated in 2018, 2020, and 2023 that they had acquired a larger allotment of 10C tickets than ever before. I saw no mention of that for this tour.

I'll need to go back to look, but that was the idea behind nosebleeds being sold to 10C fans last year, was it not?  "More tickets than ever before means some 10C seats will be in the furthest and upper most parts of the arenas."  I'm paraphrasing.

Yes. That's pretty much what they said.

Okay.  I guess I overlooked the fact they may have abandoned the concept of "more tickets than ever before" this tour.  What they did not abandon was the potential for nosebleed seats though.  That part was made clear.

Pure speculation. Nothing in the sign up page indicated any distinction between the two "P1 Reserved" options.

At least you got DMB tickets. I apparently burnt up all my good karma on my niece's 5th grade state basketball tournament.

I do agree with the rest also... I'm shutout and it is far from the end of the road. I will find tickets.

Good luck on your hunt!

With the current ticket system, this was always the logical conclusion.  As long as you have the available funds to "invest" (i.e. lock up) in PJ tickets, it makes sense.

With ticket prices fixed in most locations, the F2F transfer system, the outrageously high demand, bots scooping up anything available to resell unethically however the can..... as long as you have a pair of tickets to any North American PJ show, you're not going to lose your money. Why not scoop up extras as trade fodder?

For the record: I did not enter any draws with this in mind.

Should have the same chance of getting P1 but you never know.  If someone messes up the coding you could end up skewing the lotto odds.  Like what if they then accidentally gave person B 2 entries in the P1 lotto.

Same theory with the same city GA/GA.  Did something in the coding somehow improve your odds of getting GA for night 2 if you got GA for night 1.  It wasn’t a guarantee like how some had suspected but did it somehow give you an extra ball in the lottery?  An extra 10 balls?  Looking at pictures at some of the venues the GA looks very limited so pulling back to back GA should be extremely rare.

Thank you!  Hopefully the hunt starts tomorrow with getting the email saying I got access to the sale on Friday.  If not, F2F or the boards it is.  Have been very fortunate from the F5 days, guess I was due for a struggle.

10C & Ticketmaster could easily shed some light on this.  A little transparency would go a long way.

This is especially true in states where resale of tickets is permitted. Given that MSG is the most sough after market, and resale is allowed, once people do it for this show, they might as well do it for all. At worst, people just put the tickets on F2F and get their money back.

Can someone explain to me how stub hub has 100s of tickets to shows in cities where the tickets are non-transferable?

My apologies if this is a repeat question. Is the Ten Club still doing the special lottery where random people get chosen for row 2 and 10? They used to do that, do they still do that? Thanks.

Went away with GA. It had been used at Fenway in 2016 and 2018, but there is GA there now too.
