    Had a thought about GA vs reserved after Worcester 1 results seemed that most people were reporting wins with GA and many (myself included) who put reserved as first choice lost. My thought was that the GA section is pretty big (check out the seating chart), and possibly 10club got only 10% of the total available tix (lets say the capacity with GA and rear seats is 17,000 just for example purposes). So maybe DCU only gives 10club 1,700 tix, and maybe GA holds 1,300 (again pure speculation just to illustrate a point), that only gives 10c 400 reserved seats to sell (or some other combination that heavily favors GA)....seems like a possibility and would explain why so many are getting GA 2nd choice.
    the first thing i did after read this thread i went to look the map of the venue..and thought the same..

    From the original Tour E-mail...

    Reserved Seating:
    Reserved seated tickets are being held for the Ten Club in some of the best seat locations in the house, which include floor seats behind the GA pit and 100 level seats. Reserved seated tickets are assigned to members based on seniority in the Ten Club. Remember: public seated tickets fall behind the fan club seats, so no matter your seniority your fan club, seats still put you at an advantage. There will be more reserved seated tickets than GA tickets for Ten Club members...

    Yes, but that is the email for the entire tour, its possible Worcester could be an exception where 10c couldn't get higher than 10% of the overall capacity and the GA pit seems larger than on some other seating charts, so my theory is possible. Again, its only a theory.

    yeah..in total for the entire tour....but depence how much big area they get of the floor
    so at this show maybe they had more GA tix,but at brooklyn and philly more reserved..
    so total,they have more reserved than GA tix

    I think Worcester's pit is average. Hartford's looks huge (I think the whole floor).

    GA (General Admission Standing) Tickets:
    Pearl Jam has decided to include a GA pit in front of the stage at each venue taking up 1/3 -1/2 of the floor. Ten Club has acquired the entire GA pit for fan club members only; therefore there will not be a need for early entry. Please know there are less GA pit tickets available in the drawing then there are reserved seated tickets. If you are not interested in standing for the entirety of the show, do not enter the drawing for GA tickets.

    From the same E-mail.

    Not trying to argue; just hoping there is a little more elbow room with the bigger floor plan.

    XL Center hasn't posted a seating chart specific to the PJ show to my knowledge, just generic charts on the site.

    Pretty much! Looking to swap my extras for Brooklyn 2 and Worcester 1, but I am optimistic! VERY lucky after being shut out of Wrigley!

    Not arguing either, just positing a theory. And my theory has more to do with possible restricted allotment than anything else, it seems to me that 10c certainly got a better than 10% haul of tix in some cities, specifically Hartford and Philly, not coincidentally non-Ticketmaster venues.

    Just hope we're not packed in to the point of penetration.

    I'm in reserved .. It was my only choice.
    My five year drought has finally come to an end!

    Thank you PJ and 10c!

    This second chance show was the right thing to do for your greater Boston area / NE area fanbase!

    Well done!

    Reading through these responses I still think that there is plenty of confusion on how they do the lottery. I have to admit that I didn't understand it fully myself until after the initial drawing. The lottery isn't conducted the same way that I think most people would expect it to be. The GA for each show is selected first. If the club has 1000 sets of GA tickets and 1200 members pick GA as their first choice, then winners are randomly selected and 200 fans lose out.

    But, if the supply actually exceeds the demand (such as this show) the remaining tickets are assigned randomly to those who picked GA as their second choice. Even though in some cases these fans would have preferred reserve seating and made GA their second choice as a last resort.

    I'm guessing that's what happened here. Because of the restrictions, there were more tickets than eligible entries. Everyone who picked GA as first choice automatically won and there were still GA tickets left over. I'm also guessing that the Ten Club did still get a significant amount of reserved tickets but not many entries were left once the GA seats were allocated.

    Again, I missed this important factor in the lottery during the initial draw but saw this written up somewhere during my compulsive reading of the forum.

    Got reserved seating...my 2nd choice. There's still a chance for ya. GLTA!

    How would you get reserved seating as your second choice if I lost it as my first choice? I'm just reading this thread now, has this been discussed?

    Yes it's been discussed. From what we can tell, 10c fulfills the GA section first, as with Phoenix and Philadelphia, some folks who had GA as their second choice won it as their first. So basically, GA seats are selected first, regardless of priority, then reserved.
