This never was asked that I can find, did anyone under 100xxx "win" the lottery?

Just curious if anyone with a sub 100,000 number won the lottery? Not being a conspiracy theorist or anything, but isn't it feasible they(TC) didn't even put a certain block in the running at all? I know one person who won the lottery and was actually farther back than had they not won, but they had a number over 100k

just wondering, looking at the touring fans site is not entirely accurate as many do not even sign onto it.

It was nice seeing some new faces by the way

    A very good friend of mine whose number is 117xxx won second row in DC. She's usually in the first 10 rows anyhow.

    I don't see anyone on touringfans with sub 100xxx that won. Of course their opportunity to win is basically 1/2 other people because they are in rows before 9/10.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    From all the people I talked to at the shows and all the people who reported lottery winnings on tourinfans or the Pit, I did not see a single person under 100XXX win the row 1-2 lottery.

    Although I can understand why people below 100XXX would be pissed off at that, I think it was the right thing to do.

    It also seemed that a lot more people in the 300XXX + range were winning row 1-2 than people in the 100XXX - 299XXX range.

    Also reports of a few people being up front (row 1) multiple times - oh well - it is what it is. I do like the lottery.

    I'm not going to mention names but I know of two people with numbers below 70xxx who won the lottery.

    I was lucky enough to win night 2 in Camden with my buddy whose girlfriend also won the lottery the same night and took her sister. So that was a pretty crazy coincidence. I was on Stone's side and she was right in front of Jeff.

    I wanted to ask this question too.

    Disappointing that no one sub 100K seems to have won. It's not a lottery if they're not included, is it?

    Hopefully, if they continue, they will say specifically "if you're number is below xxxxx, you are not eligible to win lottery seats".

    As someone lucky enough to have been front row several times, it is indeed special. I found it interesting that I didn't see abnormal "excitement" from the people in rows 1-2 at the shows I attended. I know many thought the longtime members were getting too old to enjoy the front row, and it became too routine for them. What I realized is everyone enjoys shows differently, in their own way. Some people don't want to bounce up and down every song, because being that close, you want to try and soak it all in.

    I think this is actually very welcome news...

    i met someone in line in camden who's number was 42xxx and she won the lottery in one of the shows before...i forget which one, maybe VA beach?

    she actually said she sorta felt bad b/c she's usually so close anyway, but at least this shows it's a true lottery system...

    i hope i get it next time! i love the lottery.

    I'm 180XXX and did not hit the lotto. I did get to go to the storytellers taping though. I think that ruined arena's for me forever.

    I don't think a longtime, invested fan with a low, low number should be excluded from the lottery. Quite the opposite. They should be just as entitled as the rest of us lowly higher numbers :-)

    I am #161xxx, BTW.

    I was curious about this too.

    I am around 60K and went 0 for 5. A girl I met up with at shows has a low # and I think she went 0 for 9?? Still very good seats though.

    It sounds like these #'s are included in the lottery too so that is good to hear.

    I don't like the hassle of GA shows but I know I'll get close because I'm willing to put in the time. I'm a 156,xxx and I got 6th row at the infamous Grand Rapids show due to the mess up. Everywhere else 14+ rows back which isn't bad but way different vibe than the front few rows. If you get lucky enough to be in the front remember you have a responsibility to rock out!

    I went to both Mansfield shows with 6 other fanclub members. None of us won either.

    0-14

    Oh well, we still had a blast.
