I've read here, and also before, that they may put 10c members in the reserved seats BEHIND GA - did this happen on the last tour? Only high 10c members maybe have a chance at sections 100's front/side stage? Torn here, as I'm sure I'm not alone, on whether to hedge my bets on GA or Reserved. Prefer reserved, but not if I'm behind GA. Aside from that, I am pumped!
It has def happened on previous tours. depends on your 10club #

Yeah, that's my fear based upon my semi-crappy number.

Thanks!

Here's 1. Make 20,000 10c memberships then enter the lottery with them all
I just bought 20,000 memberships only to find out new members are not eligible.

There's $800,000 down the drain, but on the bright side you have 20,000 I'm Analog shirts coming your way.

This thread is the place to gaet an answer to this question:

I put #1 pick GA Ottawa / #2 pick GA Quebec..... then #3 pick reserved Ottawa and #4 pick reserved Quebec

His that the way i should do this to increase my odds to be at the show? Am i blurring my chances to have GA by entering reserved choices?

Thanks for the input

Opening up the discussion for successful strategies in getting the shows you want. GA or Reserved? Multiple shows? multiple shows in same city? Choice 1 vs. 10?

This is why I love our Ten Club fam - thanks for all the insight and helping eachother out with this one. Keep it coming.

I have won tickets and has first row behind GA. Didn't seem that bad too me; but I am happy to be in the building.

A ?. If I am looking at two shows that are at 99% (still) is that a guarantee I will get tickets to both?

I am kinda of screwed though then. High 10C number, High Odds.. so I will get floor. That doesn't make sense wouldn't the members with higher seniority get the floor and not the stands?

JDjr · January 2016

Crazy question - how many 10c members ARE there? I'm wondering what constitutes a "high" 10c number?!

rollings · January 2016

my strategy is to not disclose it because your use of it weakens mine

rollings · January 2016

just kidding.

I don't have a strategy

my number is 532470.. i joined in sept.. Ottawa-reserved is still holding at 99%

Question: The odds, they only apply to 'first choice' correct?

If so, there is no point to select a show as a 2nd choice in which there is a high demand GA...

No.

Odds = Ticket pairs available / total entries

This was confirmed by the 10C.

The process is so simple, but people try to complicate it.

Love this discussion. First time using the 10c for tickets (or hoping to use it). Interested in both the Tampa and Lexington shows. If I am reading correctly from previous posts the reserved seats for someone with a higher number could be in the back of the arena?

What is my best strategy for entering? There is always the public sale too but feel like that will also be a crap shoot. I am thinking maybe I want reserved for one show and general for the other?

Any advice is appreciated!

I too love this thread! Any advice for me?
I want to take my two daughters to the Toronto show. Obviously I can only get a pair at best through the lottery. Right now I have Toronto reserved seats as first choice and Toronto general mission as second choice --and the Greenville show as third choice. Obviously I'll get two tickets when they go on sale to the public and do the best I can with whatever 4 I get. Am I hurting my chances by having both choices in Toronto as one and two? Is having Greenville as a third choice affecting my chances in Toronto? I'm going to Toronto regardless and Greenville as well. Getting my daughters into good seats in Toronto is all I care about! I would even pay big bucks!! I'll be checking for any advice here-thank you in advance! See you on flip-side

I have a question

Suppose I have Toronto as my 10th pick.

Do I have an equal chance to get it as somebody who puts it as their 1st pick?
If no (my chance isn't equal), what is my chance percentage, and what are the details in how my chance is determined?
If yes, (I do have an equal chance) why does 10C want to us to order our preferences?

I've never saw this explained anywhere, so it doesn't seem so simple to me.

You will NOT get Toronto tickets UNLESS it is your #1 choice...
Simple as that!!

I don't think you can say definitively either way. there is at least a chance, maybe a slim chance but it could happen.

from the info page:
"- After entering, you may win or lose any given ticket type regardless of odds because the drawing is a random luck of the draw. "
