This thread is intended to support and comfort those who chose the Fenway shows as their top choices and were shut out.
I've started by making a gratitude list of all shows I have seen on 10club tickets.

FENWAY - So the explanation(until proven otherwise) is if you put in for night #2 with FIRST CHOICE you WON as there was enough tickets for everyone. Night #1 had more demand then tickets so some people lost. Then the lottery moves to second selections for #2 as everyone got filled with first priority - once again NOT enough tickets for everyone for night #2 with second selections. The lottery doesn't look at if you won tickets with first selection its just comparing 2nd selections to 2nd selections so its possible for a person to win the lottery twice and others none.

As for Indifferences theory, right before the10C ticket lottery was closed, I looked at the percentages & Night 1 was 44% & Night 2 was 46%. So I am not sure if your theory is correct.

If you put Chicago first or last, it still counts towards the Odds.
So Fenway 1 and 2 could have identical odds, but based on where people put them in their preferences, they would be much different.
Nuclear fission
100 People, 70 put Fenway 1 as 1st priority and Fenway 2 as 2nd.
Meanwhile 30 put Fenway 2 as 1st, and Fenway 1 as Second. The odds would still be the same.
Nuclear fission
Not sure if there really is a fair way to do that, thats cost effective, etc.

I then went for both Fenway shows, and Night 1 in Wrigley, and came up empty. Seeing people get 3 shows yesterday, or 2 shows yesterday, without me getting 1 show of the 3 I entered for....... you can say I was not real happy with this system.
Since 1998 I never had a problem getting a show or more per tour from the Ten Club. I had no problem getting Wrigley in 2013. To come up empty for NYC, Fenway & Wrigley just really sucks. And to try to beat the bots in the general sales is impossible for me it seems.
No way was it fair to have people winning 2 Fenway shows or 2 Wrigley shows, when other were getting no shows. They limited NYC & Philly to 1 show per member, Fenway & Wrigley should have been the same. If there were extras, then open it up to let a few get multiple nights.
