Behind GA, or "wings"

Can someone enlighten me, do the lowest 10c numbers for reserved start at row 1 behind GA, or in the lower rows of the "wings"? I love wing seats, not so much love for flat on floor behind GA. Reasonably low # 192xxx

    In Dallas 2013 my 272xxx got me 9th row on the floor so I’m guessing lower wings.

    Thanks. I haven't asked for reserved since they offered GA pit. Sounds like they start with wings
     Hoping Ticketmaster does too.

    10 Club definitely started in the wings, went a few sections back on each side, then went to back of floor, then back to the lowers further back (beyond center ice).
    However Ticketmaster may not follow the exact same route, we don't know.
    If you look at any of your old Ticketmaster stubs they have a code on them, an X code, that ranks the location. So for example a front row center ticket will have 1X on the ticket, a decent lower might have 33X or so and a balcony seat might have 127X.
    Whatever ranking Ticketmaster has seats in the venue already (they've done this forever) will my guess be how they distribute tix. So as long as they rank good lower sections better than rear floors, those would go to the highest seniority members.

    just throwing it out there now, if I don't win GA I would be willing to swap wings for first couple rows in seated on floor.  I just prefer the sound straight on.

    I’m interested in this topic too. I have a number in the 85k range and of few stadium shows I’ve been to over the years, I’ve always been in the wings. At the Seattle home show, I was on the field behind the pit. 

    I never knew about the x codes on the tickets, so I went back and looked. 

    2018 - Safeco Field, Seattle - 112X (field)
    2013 - Key Arena, Seattle - 4X (wing)

    My reserved in Charlotte '13 with my 2xxxx was first row in the wing closest to the stage. I'm pretty much expecting the same this year with these shows.

    I have a 198xxx.  In 2013 in Worcester, I had seats on the wings (McCready side) about 10-12 rows up.  Great seats.  Great view.  In Hartford on the same tour, I was 3rd row center behind GA.  I liked the wings better, as you could see much better, but you can't go wrong with either.

    I think Hartford that year had a lot bigger demand in reserved. My 70XXX got me 2 sections away from stage on Mike's side.
    Hartford drawing both the Boston and NYC crowds usually a high demand show.

    I think they start in the wings and then go to the floor.   "Best Seats Available"    My 10C # 219xxx
    2013 Wrigley:   Field behind GA
    2016 Wrigley:   Row 3 & 5 down 3rd base line just behind the short wall to the field both nights.  Didn't care for these seats as much as being behind GA
    2018 Wrigley:   Row 4ish in the second section behind GA center.

    So, is there no longer a way to prioritize shows? I just called the Ticketmaster 10c ticket number ( 855-868-4782 ) and am FAR more confused than before I called. First the guy told me that GA tickets, all tickets for that matter are assigned by "when you got in line" meaning that the time you requested tickets put you in a line and if you change your ticket request, you go to the back of the line again. This cannot be true right??? Then he said that if I put in for Oakland night 1 yesterday, then added Oakland 2 today that it would consider my latest request first, and there is now way to select your own priority of shows you want to attend in order. When I asked if they would fill the GA with requests for GA only, then open it up to " best available " if some were left over from the GA only requests, he went back to telling me it mattered when I got in line ( what time I put in my request ) then he told me that if I put in for "best available" it would randomly select GA or Reserved. Also. He didn't have a supervisor available that could clear any of this up. To be fair, he sounded more confused than confident in every detail, so I'm not saying this is how it works,  in fact I HIGHLY DOUBT IT, but this is how the Ticketmaster 10c center thinks it works. So.....

    So, pulled right from the email of yesterday and the website

    That makes more sense. Now, anyone know how I prioritize the shows I want to attend?

    Once you arrive at the step of prioritizing your shows, just click and drag to place them in the order you want to prioritize. I believe this is step 2 or 3 in the process.

    Just to get nitpicky and add to anxiety levels, it doesn't say anything about position in a virtual line. It only addresses your request confirmation. I don't know. Either way, I put in my request last night and there's nothing to do but wait.

    My experience is the first few sections on the side are filled in first, followed by behind GA, followed by elevated seated areas further back

    There is not a virtual line for 10c tickets.  Everyone that puts in there requests by the deadline has equal chance for tickets.

    So - if you select “Best Available” - is there a chance that your ticks could be ‘GA’?
