I compiled all of the seat data from this thread. This is how it breaks down based on the self-reported information:
Rows 1 and 2 - Lottery winners
Ten Club numbers 1XXX to around 50XXX = A5 Row 3
Ten Club numbers 51XXX to around 100XXX = Rows 4 - 8 of A3/A4/A5
Rows 9 and 10 - Lottery winners
Ten Club numbers 101XXX to around 135XXX = remainder of seats in the A sections
Ten Club numbers 136XXX to around 265XXX = B section field seats

Lowest number: 1XXX
Highest number: 680XXX

125 reporting numbers, 34 not reporting numbers

13 lottery winners
Only 1 confirmed lottery winner between 1XXX and 400XXX (1.4%)
3 lottery winners from 400XXX thru 500XXX (12%)
2 lottery winners from 500XXX thru 600XXX (12.5%)
3 lottery winners from 600XXX thru 700XXX (27%)

This data seems to suggest that the lottery is weighed in favor of the higher numbers.

Thanks for assembling this. I never thought I had a chance to win the lottery with a TenClub number under 100k.

I believe it is heavily weighted in favor of high numbers.

No it just means there are more higher numbers than lower numbers.

Not accurate based on the self-reported data. There are 72 members who reported their number as between 1XXX and 400XXX. Only one of these members won the lottery. Conversely there were 52 who reported numbers from 400XXX through 700XXX and there were 8 lottery winners in this range. So, there were more attendees in the under 400XXX range but 8 of the 9 winners came from the over 400XXX range.

If you are under 400XXX you had a 1.4% chance, above 400XXX you had a 10X greater chance (15%).

Now this analysis is based on self-reporting so there is a chance that the data is skewed. But it looks valid to me.

Congratulations.
Updated numbers
1XXX thru 400XXX - 3 lottery winners
400XXX thru 700XXX - 8 lottery winners

I see three more lottery winners (arlandocruz, tombrady12, and cdann0220) who didn't indicate their numbers.

I love hearing about the lottery winners. It would be nice to go back to seats for just one tour.

Redrumh2o · July 2018

It would be interesting to know how many low to mid numbers are not current accounts. Would be cool is they could re-calculate and assign everyone new numbers, removing the inactive accounts

100% agree. The numbers go up to 680,000. But how many are active? It seems there's some secrecy around but I don't see why.

Of course I’m 400xxx almost down to the exact 400k number lol. I guess I should’ve waited another year or two to join

Have to say I felt a bit guilty about it, but my guest ticket went to someone who'd traveled from South America to Canada for the show, so it was all good!

One valid reason that those with really low numbers are less likely to win the lottery is that a move to rows 9 and 10 would be a downgrade. I'm assuming that lottery wins that would move you back are ignored. Also assuming that the number of tickets in rows 9 and 10 are equal to those in rows 1 and 2, then low Ten Club numbers would only have half the chance of others to win the lottery.

When you look at the numbers you see that 5 of the reported lottery winners are between Ten Club number 540XXX and 680XXX. And that's with only 14 members posting their seat locations. That's a really high percentage of wins (35%). Now some of this may be due to self-reporting. Its possible newer members would be less likely to know of or use the forum. But the data seems to show that the very high numbers are given a better chance to win.

Or, more likely true is the fans with higher numbers are beleaguered like me and don't want to bother posting their obstructed view blind purchase seats and those that won are thrilled to share the news.

I highly doubt a band with such an unrelentingly biased ticket policy would bother to weigh the lottery in any direction without notice. Although they did sell obstructed view without notice at time of purchase

I've been a fan since day one but always disliked fan clubs and blind purchasing of concert Tix. This experience reminds me why I avoided joining for so long. But I'm in the door and trying to be positive

Based on the original ticket notice from the band, I was expecting upper level first few rows but got grandstand with a nice pole obstruction according to Fenway precise seating...and possibly a balcony obstruction as well, since precise seating assumes we will be sitting not standing

Let's drive down the % to a more realistic representation

wall232 · July 2018

I know some are disappointed with their seats but let’s remember that 10c got a hold of a lot more seats than normal for these shows, the percentages hardly moved from 99%. Not every seat is going to be great with an awesome view. My night 1 seats aren't great but I'm thrilled to be in the building and didn't have to deal with the public sale like some of my friends did. They were on well before the start time and got nothing and are still trying to find reasonably priced tickets for the show.

SP218311 · July 2018

RE: obstructed view tix... that sucks. Does your ticket actually say "Obstructed" on it? Or are you basing it on some seating chart or online seating views? I know that Fenway is really good about noting obstructed view for baseball games, but seems to be hit or miss on this when it comes to concerts, based on som eother online complaints I have seen. Also, their definition of an obstruction may be more liberal than yours (like if a pole is in your line of sight but does not block the view of the stage, just one of the screens, Fenway may not label that as obstructed, even though it probably is). Pearl Jam/10 Club relies on the stadium to tell them what is obstructed and what is not... there's no way they would be able to check all the seats. BUT, if it says "obstructed view" right on the tickets, then that doesn't seem right.

My advice is to get to Fenway early on the day of show. If your seat is obstructed, as you expect it to be, take some photos. There should be a Ten Club ticket table in the venue. It was under the right field bleachers by the Red Sox store when they played here in 2016. I had a similar issue with my tickets to the 2nd show. We were in the section near Pesky's pole and it obstructed the stage perfectly from our seats and we could only see the screens. I went and spoke to the TC rep and they said they relied on Fenway to provide info about seats being obstructed. We were given seats on the turf in one of the B sections in the middle.
