    I always thought that the more goods that you bought from Ten Club the better your chances would be. I mean they know how much each of us spend on this site. It's kind of like looking after the people that look after you. All I really buy through the club is tickets so I would assume that my chances would be lowered by that fact. Just my theory.

    nah, that theory doesn't hold water either because I have never spent a dime on anything
    from the goods section and including last night I have now won the lottery 8 times.

    since you need to purchase tickets via the Ten Club to be eligible for the lottery, and you have 0 ticket purchases in your account, I'd venture a guess that you've NOT won the lottery 8 times.

    I sent an email to the 10 Club asking some questions about the lottery, and got a reply in 26 minutes:
    tickets@tenclub.net wrote:
    There are no exclusions. All members have opportunity to end up in lottery from the most senior members, to least senior members.

    These are chosen through a randomized selection. There is no “who you know” to it. We absolutely do not play that game, it’s just not what we are about.

    The number of lottery seats depend on how many seats fall into those 4 rows. So it’s completely specific to each venue’s seating layout.

    The process has been the same since we started the lottery process.

    Best,
    10c

    For what it's worth, the example posted by shawnb199 is just an example, trying to illustrate the general nature of the process. The fact is, the more shows you go to, the better your chance of winning the lottery, but as in all random processes weird things happen, and those are the stories you end up hearing. That phenomenon even has a name, it's called "selection bias".

    I believe the 10 Club, the process is completely random. Has anyone in the long chain of people who handle the tickets ever cheated ever, over the course of thousands of shows? Maybe. But in the overwhelmingly vast majority of cases, it's completely fucking random.

    Peace and see you in Vancouver.

    I have not heard or read of anyone sub 100XXX winning the lotto - maybe because it could make their seats worse if it bumped them to 9/10 when their seniority seat could be 5/6???
    Back when the lottery was implemented, the question was raised abut someone being "downgraded" by the lottery and it was answered (Tim B I think, maybe Santos) that you could not get worse seats from the lottery...basically if your pre-lotteyr normal seats were 4th row, you'd eithe hit lottery for row 1 or 2 or get 6th row, not get bounced back to 9 or 10.

    Now earlier in the thread Pillow Pants mentioned he knows someone who got moved form a normal row 6 to row 10, could be a faux pas by the system or could have been at a venue with numerous season tix (Meadows/Dodge whatever you want to call it in Hartford is a good example, every other row in the front sections there were non 10 club, season tix) where his seniority got him a little further back than at other venues.

    In answer to your question, I believe it was prior to the 2008 tour.

    4 rows x 7 days in a week = 28 + 3 possible margin of error = 31

    31 x 2 = 62%
