How do we know the chance was 10% at each show?
It’s a guess, 10% for simplicity. In the past when they released odds, NY was around five percent and the other NE cities around 20%.
Let’s say the odds were 20% for all NE shows except Boston. Sounds much better to win all four, right?

No, not this. Read how odds work for winning multiple draws, such as picking six numbers in the lottery. It’s absolutely not one in fifty, if there are fifty numbers in the lottery. If picking six numbers in six random draws, we would all be millionaires.
The chance of winning each draw is multiplied. If someone goes four for four in shows and each is ten percent, chances of winning all four is 10%*10%*10%*10%. …
(The chance of winning can be demonstrated as follows: The first number drawn has a 1 in 49 chance of matching. When the draw comes to the second number, there are now only 48 balls left in the bag, because the balls are drawn without replacement. So there is now a 1 in 48 chance of predicting this number.
Thus for each of the 49 ways of choosing the first number there are 48 different ways of choosing the second. This means that the probability of correctly predicting 2 numbers drawn from 49 in the correct order is calculated as 1 in 49 × 48. )
Except that the shows are independent of each other. Winning one drawing doesn't exclude you from winning the next. It's random drawing WITH replacement.

My wife only put in for Philly N2, not N1. I guess in retrospect she should’ve also put in for N1 cause it sounds like she probably would’ve won GA for that as well. Based on what I’ve seen on here and FB, it seems like a lot of people got the same result for both nights of a two-night stand- i.e., P1 or GA. If I had to venture a guess, it sounds like what may have happened here is that the lottery may have been run for each city, as opposed to each individual show. But ultimately who knows.
Thanks for the clarification @steven87, surely @bf25394 will want to no remove your scenario and that of the person who split GA/Reserved in Vancouver. As it has been mentioned numerous times that Vancouver has been reporting true random drawing results.

Nope. Just for the other show in the same city. Again, it isn't GA specific either, which makes the issue even more glaring.

So many variables unaccounted for...you can't speculate math without knowing the numbers.
We don't know how many seats at each venue are available. We don't know how many people requested for each show. We don't know the breakdown on 1 seat request VS 2 seat request We don't know who checked what boxes in seat selection.
If 10c felt like sharing some of this - I bet people would not have to wonder why they lost.
Vancouver for example, maybe it didn't even use all of the 10c tickets. So effectively if less seats are requested then seats available your odds are 100% not 10%.
Moving to Philly, check all possible seats my odds of winning the Philly show are the same as everyone else who checked all possible boxes AND also had a single request. However, my odds are higher then the guy who only checked GA/P1 and needs 2 seats because I am open to other seats and only need 1...Rows at stadiums tend to be odd numbers so there always end up a significant number of single seats available. To evaluate properly the people losing regularly need to identify the boxes they checked, how many seats requested, and what shows.
I lost Philly N1 - I only selected GA/P1 for a Single seat - Not mad about losing, I expected to.

The odds to land *all four* is what is being discussed. Fans are winning Philly twice and ny and Balt. The odds are calculated same as how any lottery is picked. If the lottery is picking one in fifty (with replacement) five times, the odds are 50*50*50*50*50 (one in millions, for the lottery). If it were one in fifty to hit all five we’d all be millionaires, because we’d never stop playing and one in fifty is very doable.
As far as “cmon folks,” let’s look no further when they made a simple error in 2023 assigning seats and had to do a redraw. It happens. That’s not saying that’s happening here, but if we were say five members go four for four hitting those difficult to win cities (historically), the odds are way below 0.1% of that happening.

Nobody knows and these math games ya'll are arguing about are pretty silly. lol
My point exactly. And never mind we don't even know how they conducted the lottery either. So it's all pointless conversation driven by misinformation and assumptions that is serving to get people irritated.
Real easy way to fix this. 10C & TM can be more transparent about # of tix available, # of 10C registering, etc....

Exactly! Ticketmaster US did not conduct the lottery as Vancouver did. And Vancouver did it correctly.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist as others seem to suggest. I struck out on both Vancouver shows.

Jim, I am not trying to be exact. From past draws, 10% is a reasonable guess for the NE cities. The odds to go four for four in what we all agree are very difficult to win shows is what’s very surprising. To see quite a few go four for four or three for four, we are talking very very low odds of that. It’s not one in ten, which is what I originally replied to, it’s far less than that. There is much less transparency than there used to be, and they never disclosed if the each sub draw within a show is truly random, or if they are adjusting for seniority in the p1 v p2 draws. If they did, they should have disclosed that.
And although your logic for single seats seems reasonable, the club specifically told us it doesn’t change our chances, which makes me believe they go across the rows and don’t fill in singles, but that’s a very complicated analysis to figure out.
8/31 Chicago (put in for GA/Reserved P1 & P1) - NO
9/7 Philly (1 ticket put in for GA/Reserved P1 & P1) - NO
9/9 Philly (1 ticket (put in for GA/Reserved P1 & P1) - NO
Wife:
8/29 Chicago (2 tickets Reserved P1) - YES
8/31 Chicago (put in for GA/Reserved P1 & P1) - NO
I thought Wrigley was going to be a "for sure". What's capacity for a show there? 40,000? We've been to every Wrigley show, so I guess I was just overconfident. Bummer we both got Thursday and both missed Saturday. Guess we'll each be snagging a friend to go with.
Not surprised that I missed out on Philly, but I thought only requesting 1 ticket would give me decent odds.

Did they do the 2023 draw correctly, yes or no? Over the years, transparency has decreased. It’s possible to go four of four in the NE, but it seems the odds of that would be a fraction of one percent.

We don't know how many seats at each venue are available.
We don't know how many people requested for each show.
We don't know the breakdown on 1 seat request VS 2 seat request
We don't know who checked what boxes in seat selection.
If 10c felt like sharing some of this - I bet people would not have to wonder why they lost.
Vancouver for example, maybe it didn't even use all of the 10c tickets. So effectively if less seats are requested then seats available your odds are 100% not 10%.
Moving to Philly, check all possible seats my odds of winning the Philly show are the same as everyone else who checked all possible boxes AND also had a single request. However, my odds are higher then the guy who only checked GA/P1 and needs 2 seats because I am open to other seats and only need 1...Rows at stadiums tend to be odd numbers so there always end up a significant number of single seats available.
To evaluate properly the people losing regularly need to identify the boxes they checked, how many seats requested, and what shows.
I lost Philly N1 - I only selected GA/P1 for a Single seat - Not mad about losing, I expected to.
As far as “cmon folks,” let’s look no further when they made a simple error in 2023 assigning seats and had to do a redraw. It happens. That’s not saying that’s happening here, but if we were say five members go four for four hitting those difficult to win cities (historically), the odds are way below 0.1% of that happening.
Real easy way to fix this. 10C & TM can be more transparent about # of tix available, # of 10C registering, etc....
I'm not a conspiracy theorist as others seem to suggest. I struck out on both Vancouver shows.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Wife:
I thought Wrigley was going to be a "for sure". What's capacity for a show there? 40,000? We've been to every Wrigley show, so I guess I was just overconfident. Bummer we both got Thursday and both missed Saturday. Guess we'll each be snagging a friend to go with.
Not surprised that I missed out on Philly, but I thought only requesting 1 ticket would give me decent odds.
