SIMPLE POLL: LIKE/DISLIKE LOTTERY
We all know the frustrations of losing out on the lottery and trying to figure out the system.
And we all know some people couldn't handle F5 and such come onsale day.
Not looking for the "why" in this thread (there's countless threads with laments of getting shut out, and some more with tales of elation for winning), just a simple, by the numbers, how many people, what percentage like or dislike the new system.
Vote LIKE or DISLIKE
I'll start and hopefully we get well over a hundred to get a good sample size

Mainly because 10c gets less tickets now. It's hard to compare the lottery (with less tickets available) to the old f5 system when more tickets were available.
Likes: That it's geared towards trying to get as many people to see at least one show as possible. It gets everyone to say which show they want to see the most, and tries to fill every show for people that rate it their first. Thus allocating the limited supply of tickets to those people first, before people who are seeing multiple shows.
dislikes: Dual lotteries for each show. Simplify it. The GA/Reserved dual lottery for each show made it more confusing and stressful than it need to be. Simply make a box that say's you'd like GA if its available. See my like, I only scored tickets to one show, but because I only scored tickets to one show, someone else scored tickets to the one I missed out on.
Conclusion: Meh. This is the first time I've missed out on a show I applied for tickets before. This includes lotteries for Groundwork 2001, Seattle 2002, and Gorge 2005. I guess I can't really complain. I think the issues are more related to a limited supply of tickets, rather than how the 10c distributes them.
General idea is OK, implementation could be greatly (and easily) improved.

More to Come....
With limited supply of tickets for 10c members now and the 10c getting bigger, you had to do something.
I understand that some people will look at it like a slap in the face. "I've been a fan for 20 years and a 10c member for 15 years. Now I can't get a ticket." You have to look at the 20 year old that has only been a 10c member for a year or so. Just because he's 20 doesn't mean his passion for PJ isn't equal to yours, or mine, and yet, he probably would have no shot getting tickets in some of the larger cities with the old system.
IMO, this is PJ at their finest. Pleasing fans of all generations, not just one.
Could be tweaked a little.

/two for two so far, so I am biased, which I'm sure many dislikes here are as well.

you get a week to sign up, you don't have to be available when tickets go on sale.
