Hey everyone,

Usually around this time in the afternoon things slow down here at work and I check the boards to pass some time....and HOLY CRAP :corn: !!! I wasn't expecting this much action, as its been slow for the past couple of weeks.

From what I am getting, a lot of people got shut out and I was just curious if anyone who actually got into either Wrigley or London, got in with their 2nd/3rd/4th choices? Im guessing no, and this has me thinking about the upcoming shows.

Even though I did not enter the drawing for the two current shows, I am planning on going to as many shows for the US Fall tour that I possibley can afford. Hopefully 10+ if they decide to do a little East Coast Stint... :D But lets say I put an entry into 7-8 shows, so would I then have 1st-8th "choices"? Im just getting a bad feeling reading how many people got shut out. To me, I feel like anything after 1st or 2nd is going to be a waste of time come Fall... Or maybe if you get shut out of one show, you have a higher chance at the others....Thoughts??

    I'm curious if there's a single person who had London as their 2nd-4th choice and got it.

    I really hope not.

    Why would you hope that someone wouldn't get tickets?

    Yeah judging off the various threads, it seems there was a nice mix of 1rst and 2nd choice winners. I won my 2nd choice (lower bowl).

    There will always be people disappointed. I'm obviously biased, but of course people will criticize the new system if they didn't win. I just think a one-show-off is not a good example of this systems's fairness. There was probably a huge demand. For local shows, however, that I will be curious to see.

    because it would mean the system didn't work ... if anyone entered london as their second or higher choice ... they should not have been given priority over anyone who put london as #1 ... a lot of people were shut out of london who put that as their #1 choice ...

    Because there are so many people who had London as their first and only choice and got shut out. If someone secured London with a choice lower than first then that would be extremely unfair.

    I'm all for people getting tickets, even if I miss out, as long as its done fairly.
