    Would appreciate feedback on my choices. MT is my highest priority but would like to catch both Safeco shows as well. Have a good member ('96) but prefer GA for one Safeco show. When lottery opened I chose the following:
    1. MT GA
    2. MT RES
    3. SEA I GA
    4. SEA II GA
    5. SEA I RES
    6. SEA II RES
    Thinking of reconfiguring to the following: 
    1. MT GA 84%
    2. SEA II GA 36 
    3. SEA I GA 44
    4. MT RES 99
    5. SEA II RES 85 
    6. SEA I RES 99
    Any advice would be much appreciated!


    I would try and secure 2 out of 3 GA's

    1. Seattle 1 GA
    2. MT GA
    3. Sea 2 Res
    4. Sea 1 Res
    5. MT res
    Thanks for the advice! I should have specified MT GA is highly desired.  Was in pit there in '98 and would love it again. Still the same suggestions?

    Except Seattle II reserves fell below 99%, so having them 3rd round might not get them?   Might only want to go for GA Missoula, Reserved SEA 2, Reserved SEA 1

    Does anyone know how low the GA %'s dropped for the Wrigley 2016 shows?  Kind of curious how low they dropped, considered night 2 tickets had a few spares that spilled out into round 2.

    Don’t see any ga going to second round except miss 
    It may not be prevalent, but I can't imagine GA NOT going into Round 2. It happened for Wrigley in 2016. Why wouldn't it happen this year with 3 more stadium shows? 
    The odds have dipped lower for Wrigley than they were 2 years ago, though not by a lot.

    2016 came on the heels of the big 2016 south/east tour where many people got their fill. Now there's 2 years of no PJ being crammed in to just 7 shows for the whole country. It will be interesting. I do have Wrigley 2 GA as my 2nd choice, so I hope you're right.

    If you need that show and can't miss GA with it then go that route but I really think that MT GA may even go 3rd round since people are putting Seattle ahead of it. Also with Sea 2 res as a 3rd you have to factor in all of the back to back GA picks people are doing for their 1 and 2 spots. I think lots of people will get reserved as a 3rd pick like they did with Wrigley in 2016 though I am unsure if all would get it as a 3rd. Really depends if you like to gamble or not. My way is a safe gamble imo but their are still risks.

    With Fenway 1 still at 78%, you would think that  everybody that has that show as a first choice should get tickets, right?  The lower odds are due to the fact that there could be lots of people that are using their 2nd, 3rd, 4th choices for that show as well.  The lottery takes into account ALL  entries for a given show and divides that by the total number of tickets to give us the odds.

    This is correct. I think it will spill over to the second picks myself since there are so many travellers in the club.

    I would think so trent. I would probably feel reasonably safe even with it as a 2nd choice.

    I would think there's a lot of people in the Northeast thinking Fenway 1 or bust.

    I don't think there's any guarantee of scoring tickets for that show even if you have it as your #1.

    Make the 2 that are 99% picks 5 and 6 instead of 4 and 6 as those are locks, would increase your chances of SEA 2 reserved a tad if you miss out on GA.

    You maybe right but I have seen quite a few posts on Facebook of peoples picks and they have Fenway late in the game. We will find out soon enough and good luck!

    Its hard for me to believe that all of 1st priority GA doesn't get filled, that there are not enough GA fans wanting tickets, at least on the last tour it was surprising.  That's the part about the lottery I do not understand.  

    I have attempted to count the heads in a picture taken of GA.  In Baltimore maybe 750-1000?  Wrigley 2016 I estimate closer to 2000.

    There is absolutely no guarantee that you will get reserved tix for Fenway 2, even if you have it as your first choice. Oh well.

    It's at 99% with an hour to go, if you've got Fenway 2 first on your list I don't see how you wouldn't get a ticket

    It's still sitting at 99%, so what is a hair short of a guarantee?

    Either way, while it may not be a guarantee at this point it is a likelihood.

    Ah...got it. Yeah, my eyebrow is raised for Night 1. Hope a lot of low priority selections in the mix.
