    Need clarification, and I apologize if this has been asked before. I know club members with seniority get priority regarding reserved seats, but does it affect where they rank their request, i.e. if a member with less seniority selects reserved as their first choice, will they get priority over a member with more seniority who placed reserved as their second choice?

    The lotto and seniority have nothing to do with each other. Everyone has the same odds of winning no matter when they signed up. What matters if you get picked is your priority selections. Seniority only comes into play with reserved seating and lower numbers get the better seats.

    I did 1. SEA 1 GA, 2. SEA 2 GA, 3. BOS 1 Reserved 4. CHI 2 GA 5. CHI 1 GA.
    I figured I'd just give CHI a shot (I know I won't get them). BOS 2 is Tuesday after labor day, I probably won't know if I can go to that show in February. So maybe TM Verified for that one,

    So, as a member with a higher number (less seniority), there is absolutely no incentive not to enter the GA lottery as my first priority b/c my reserved seats will be the same regardless?

    So far this is true though I do not believe reserved is going to hold @ 99%. If and when it drops then the strategy comes in play.

    Agreed.  People picking GA for their first two picks will run a slight risk of getting shut out completely.  With the numbers already low for wrigley, there is no way GA makes it to second priority...  so I don't want to take the chance.  Hope like hell I get GA one night and I'll suck it up with garbage seats the other.

    In Between - Chicago (9), East Troy (4) Champaign (1), Noblesville (1), Moline (1)

    Exactly. Reserve will definitely drop at some point. Then you will just have to decide if u want to gamble for GA or not. I’m sure a majority of people haven’t put in their selections yet as most are waiting to see what the odds do over the weekend. At least those that are planning on going to more than one show.

    Seattle 2, Wrigley 2 and Fenway 1 & 2. Trying for GA with Wrigley and not sure what to do with Seattle since my number is so high and will be in the rafters probably. May try verified fan out but not sure.

    What do you think will be (financially) worse: Eating the second ticket of my pair of tickets (good chance I'm going solo) or buying a single ticket from Stub Hub?
    well if the FV is about $100, at least stubhub will charge $200
    It does get pretty bad on there (Stub Hub), doesn't it? I suppose that there's a decent chance, also, that someone might take my extra ticket off my hands. Hey, maybe I'll make a new friend!
    there will be plenty. i managed to get EV tix in london on the day of the show. (5000 seat venue)

    I'm 46X XXX and my wife has a high number.  I put in for Seattle 2 GA 1st  / reserved 2nd and she did Seattle 1 GA 1st /reserved 2nd.  I'm keeping an eye on the odds.  If GA tanks then reserved will become option 1.   With all of your options its a tough call.  10 club tix even in the rafters will be better then verified.  Sitting with other members is always better regardless of seat location.

    Two members are going for reserved tix for the same show. Fan A has member number 200,xxx and Fan B has member number 400,xxx. Fan A chooses res as 2nd choice and Fan B chooses res as 1st choice. Both fans win in the lottery. Fan A will technically have better seats than Fan B correct?

    Yes. Only way this would not be true is if Fan B got very lucky at Fenway and won the 1,2,9,10 row draw.

    No. You enter your TM code and it will show you what seats are available. You can then either buy them or not.

    Ah. Maybe I misunderstood. Sounded like a good purchasing experience.

    I have a question here. I never entered the lottery until this tour, so I am not aware of a few things. The odds percentages... are those your chance of winning your desired choices or are they showing what's left available? I am also curious because they are showing shows I did not select. If somebody could answer this, I would appreciate it.
