    Fenway 1- Won, Fenway 2- Lost. Live 5 miles from Fenway and over 20 years in the 10c for what its worth anymore

    You got tickets to a show, are you seriously complaining right now?
    Not complaining but membership is not what it used to be. I want season tickets at the 50 yard line to the Patriots, or half court for the Celtics. You know why I cannot have them? Because the people with those seats have been season ticket holders for 20 or 30 years. That's how seniority works in 99% of life. I understand people who joined the club late think they should have a fair shot, and they did once the 10c put in the 2 random rows up front. Now it is 100% random, which I do not think is fair to people with low numbers/long standing memberships
    Your membership is $40 per year. The cost of those season tickets is in the thousands to ten thousands per year, (as a Cubs season ticket holder, I know) and inevitably those people lost thousands of dollars per year while having those tickets in lean years. So not a good comparison.

    So sorry...There goes the theory that the late TBD's won. I am a nervous wreck.

    Yeah the membership pays for a presale, not an actual ticket.

    Hope not. Plenty of people still getting drawn for one and both. Guessing it was a pretty small percentage of us who went 0-for-2.

  • Are the TBA's that have been waiting being denied or are any getting tickets. I've been TBA all day and have given up hope.

    Not looking to argue the fact at all, but I have money- can I take your Cubs seats that you have had for X amount of years and bump you back or out of the stadium? I can afford it. I am sure there are people in Chicago with worst seats than yours who would gladly move up and pay what you pay for Cubs tickets. The cost is not relative. If everyone spends the same/ or is willing to on Cubs tickets can they just come take yours ? I don't feel entilted to anything however when the 10c grew they started catering to the newer fans more in my opinion

    Email at 7:49 p.m. Won wrigley night 2 GA as first pick. Only other pic was night 1 GA. I'm totally shocked. Wrote it off as a loss this afternoon with the tbd still showing all day. Kinda forgot all about it then boom.
    Let's say knowledge is a tree,
    It's growing up just like me

    Both and I think at about the same rate.

    That was not always the case. I never got shut out of any show until the lotto system started. My 10c number is low enough that I would always get seats. Back before the online days you filled out a form with what tickets you wanted in the mail and then they started with the lowest member numbers and rewarded tickets until they ran out.

    I agree with ya'll here... if they have 1000 GA tix available and 10,000 people have them as their #1 choice... how is it possible for someone to win these tix as one of their "2nd or 3rd choice's"... wouldn't they draw all the tix until they are gone with just the people whom have them as their first choice.... Here is another senerial... someone told me..."maybe its set up that the 1st choice people have their name in the lotto like 50X each, and 2nd choice is like 20X, 3rd choice like 10X... and so on and so forth" which to me would be the only way it makes sense for someone to win their 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th choices... and other lose all 4 of their choices... it has to be something along the lines of that... specially how some people win GA at shows with their 5th choice...sure it was a 1 in a 100 shot... but they hit it...

    "For each show we will randomly draw members who have made that show their #1 priority. If any tickets remain the system will randomly draw names of members who have chosen that show as their #2 priority,"
    -- some folks got both Fenway 1 & 2...
    So wouldn't that imply everyone who had night1 as their priority would have won their tickets before those who had it as their 2nd choice would have been selected (and vice versa?)
    Or am I just confused :bee:

    That scenario is not happening

    then simply explain to me how people win Wrigley GA with their 4th choice and other get shut out with their 1st choice... And I'm not saying I'm correct...but their has to be some sort of a system here as this situations are hitting... ps... I tried to start another thread with this...but I'm not that computer savvy... or I gave up too easy...
  • Just lost Wrigley 1, the only stadium show I put in for. Its all good, I won Greenville, I'm happy.
