Portland, Spokane and Seattle

I think those are the shows I am going for.

I think I am going to do Seattle GA as #1, Seattle reserved as #2, Portland GA #3, and Spokane GA #4.

Should I put in Portland reserve as #5, and Spokane reserve as #6?

I kinda don;t think there will be a problem with Spokane and Portland tix as they are small markets.

Decisions decisions....

    Quick search ...

    Spokane Arena Capacity - 14,000
    Portland Rose Garden Arena Capacity - 19,980

    ... while these aren't the concert capacities, I think you get the point.

    NOTE - I'm also not sure if it will affect the 10c ticket allotment ... but, it's just worthy to note.

    I bet you are okay for Spokane. Portland may be more of a risk (as far as putting GA #3 instead of reserved #3).

    yes to portland 5 and spokane 6. i feel like even though the place is bigger, more people will try for portland and skip spokane.

    Spokane may be a tougher ticket than Portland if there are less seats available.

    True, but there are more accessible tour dates around it for fans that don't like to travel. Missoula was out there on its own in 2012 so it was on everyone's list.

    Monday will be interesting for sure.

    Might as well add them, it won't hurt, just gives you more chances.

    Ahh, I just don't think the demand will be there though in Spokane like Seattle and then Portland. Spokane is almost to Idaho.

    missoula was different, there were no other shows.

    also, i wouldn't actually put any GA as a #3 or #4 choice, i can't see those going past the first picks. and if they did, they definitely wouldn't go past 2. in my opinion at least.

    Don't forget, that people from Missoula/Great Falls/Butte will make the drive to Spokane.

    How do i do that if I want to go to 3 shows?? Not put reserve in Seattle as #2

    I feel the same, the #4's, 5's, and 6's etc will most likely not get anything.

    no i feel seattle will be a tough ticket. it's a dilemma.

    i think chances of getting a GA show for more than 1 is unlikely.

    they basically said they have more reserved seats than GA, so i took that as a hint and combined it with everyone's experience with wrigley.

    while there may be a great chance you could get super lucky twice, you have to ask yourself if that is realistic.

    i'm not even trying for seattle. my plan is to try and grab tickets for the 2nd show right when they go on sale (because c'mon, you know it's going to happen at 10:01 the day of the onsale) and then try to trade for night 1.

    so i would just recommend putting the GA priority #1 for the show you'd like it for the most, and have your other picks be all reserved.

    These shows are definitely a dilemma. I want to do either Portland or Spokane, but don't want to do both which is why I left one of those cities out on my choice list.

    But if I don't hit the lottery on the city I do pick then I may have wasted a choice without putting the other venue in play.

    Arrgh.

    I am not going to sacrifice potentially two or three tour stops to list NYC as my #1 and #2. I can understand though if you live in NYC or the northwest and want that local show first.

    If I were you I would list Seattle reserved first to give you the best chance at Seattle and then get your Portland and Spokane tickets with #2 and #3. Worst case in my view you end up with tickets to POrtland and Spokane. You'll find an extra for Seattle on the board or public onsale.

    People should be going for the states they live in. You have o chance to get a big market show if it you do not have it a priority.
