Ticket Strategy

I put Seattle reserved for my first two picks and (just in case???) put GA at 3 and 4. In the end I suppose have not shot whatsoever in GA and I guess I'm messing up the GA odd???

amethgr8 · February 2018

in theory the lowest odds you want a higher priority and the higher odds of 99% a consensus that you are taking less risk even on 2-4 prioority

but that's what I thought too in one of the thousands of moments of rethinking...

anybody considering NOT doing 10C tickets for Fenway...or is that crazy? After looking back at some 2016 threads, there was a few re-releases throughout the day of each show. And considering you're basically locked in to your 10C seats (or eating them...), I wonder if the gamble would be worth it.

Don't worry, you aren't the only one. You should do fine with reserved as picks 1 and 2 if that is what you want. Otherwise, I'd pick GA with picks 1 & 2, and drop reserved to picks 3 & 4 for maximum odds.

10 club has more seats then ever. These may be ones that dropped last time and they are just getting them right away now. I think your best bet is to get tickets now and enjoy the ride until the show.

More seats may also have to do with seven stadium shows in a single draw.

Tickets sold days before or day of the show are production holds and unused friends and family.

You will get all 3 with ease as long as Fenway 1 doesn't drop off. Either way you have the picks right. Up to the lotto gods now.

amethgr8 · February 2018

Thank you

Thank you

One thing I would watch though is if either of your last 2 picks start dropping to be sure to put them in the correct order.

I may swap MIS GA with BOS2.

amethgr8 · February 2018

I go back and forth with two night Fenway, but the expense makes me want to play it safe as top two picks. If Missoula GA happens on a third I'm willing to take it as "I was meant to see PJ in Montana". Comparably as expensive, but if was meant to be...

1st - Wrigley 2 GA
2nd - Wrigley 1 GA
3rd - Wrigley 1 rs
4th - Wrigley 2 rs

Thoughts?

Like everybody else says, put GA 1 first, and I have a hard time believing that you won't get tickets to both nights.

Doesn't matter if Wrigley reserved odds drop to 75%. I still believe that you'd get it with your third pick. Remember, some people are trying for tickets to multiple cities. That and the GA drawing should help with reserved if you get shut out on picks 1 and 2.

What do you think the odds are for Wrigley N1 reserved at 3rd choice? Obviously it goes up with some getting GA and others doing multiple cities but I think a lot of people would still have it 1st or 2nd.

I'm okay with reserved...it's probably best that I leave the GA tix for those who really want them.

joe159 · February 2018

Anyone have experience with season ticket holder presale? I’ve put in for both Seattle shows GA as 1st and 2nd picks and reserved for 3rd and 4th picks. I’m assuming with the high percentage for reserved as of now I’m getting in the building. But my Aunt is a Mariners season ticket holder and informed me there is a presale for them that begins Monday right around the deadline for tenclub presale. I would love GA for one of the shows and I wonder if the Mariners presale would be an easy route to go for that?

GA will be 10club only I believe.

gjv76 · February 2018

I want to go to Seattle and Boston so I'm think my picks should be

1. SEA GA N1
2. SEA GA N2
3. BOS N1
4. BOS N2
5. SEA RES N2
6. SEA RES N1

I think you'll be fine. Lots of people will have it at one or two, but I bet you'll still snag it at 3. I'd bet that people will still be getting it at 4.

Maybe this has been covered..... its a lot to read. My friend has a way better 10c # than me. We both "need" to go to both nights at Fenway, so he will pick sunday as his first choice and i will pick tuesday as mine. If we both win both, we will have 2 extra pair.

Now, Im sure i can organize and sell my pairs, and walk in with the purchaser, but how do they get to their seat if is on MY PHONE> And that is throughout the show. To mw, parts this song like a logistical nightmare.

I would just use the best ten club # for the draw and not put in twice for each show. You are going to win both of those no problem with your best number and will not have to worry about the headache and bending the rules to get someone else in. 10 club came through as they said they would here. Let's not throw in for more then we need imo since you will get all 4 for sure.

If that's your plan, I'd be prepared to eat those extra pairs. 10C set up these logistics to discourage people from doing exactly what you're describing.

Is winning tickets possible with a 5th or 6th priority pick for Missoula a safe bet if it stays at 99%?

bigdeath · February 2018

First time using the lottery for buying tix. Can I get some advice on this approach if I already have travel planned and want to attend the 4x Wrigley/Fenway shows? Don't care about GA, just want to be in the building. This is how I have entered priority and the current odds;

1- Wrigley 1 Res- 78%
2- Fenway 1 Res- 88%
3- Wrigley 2 Res- 99%
4- Fenway 2 Res- 99%
