Hope is still alive.  I didn’t win this but someone posted it on FB

Shit!! That means they ARE giving out multiple pairs!! And it seems it’s trickling based on someone else here getting their email last night!!

Is this email from the sweepstakes entry page or from some other way of winning:

https://www.siriusxm.com/PJApollo

The one still going on its for grand prize. 
This was one from different entry email sent last Wednesday that was supposedly targeted at ~7 million NYC area subscribers although apparently outside of area who got it, presumably based on Sirius listening preferences

Some advice for future Sirius contests like this. If it's in a venue that's close but not directly in your home local change your account address to match with where the contest is. 

I won Sirius Phish tickets in December when they sent similar email directed to Philly area listeners. When the Pearl Jam show was announced I changed my account address to my Pearl Jam touring buddy's address in NYC to make sure I got the email and it worked.

If you don't "win" a ticket through conventional means don't give up. For Phish fans with the approval of Sirius/Pandora started a standby list. They just wrote names in order of when they got there as early as noon that day. Closer to show time they all reconvened and lined up in order across the street. Once Sirius/Pandora knew how many unclaimed tickets they had left they went right down the standby list in order. At least 230 people including my neighbor got in that way.

I agree with this.  With all the health concerns lately, I'm sure there will be a lot of no-shows.  How do we organize the standby list? 

Google "phish reddit met list" and you'll find good thread on how it went down there

Note about that phish show. Weather wasn’t good. NYC VIPs decided not to go due to the travel. Bigger venue.  

I still think the virus and Travel restrictions may play a part.

This is a not going to as open as that. 

The Met was about twice as big as Apollo. They did convert orchestra seating to GA so may have boosted a little more although the tickets distributed to standby had seat/section assignments so it wasn't like total free for all with them.  Was cold outside but nothing unusual for Northeast in December.
Logistics a little different for that where had to get there to pick up ticket in 12-5 range then come between 630-7 for entry.  Pearl Jam is all come closer to show time and go right on.
Didn't seem like any VIP/suit presence at all. If there was they blended in well and wouldn't know difference from any other Phish fan.
Given location and higher suit/VIP presence for other Apollo shows like Paul McCartney and U2 agree there will be more of that here than Phish.
Everyone got complimentary poster at Phish show although it wasn't up to same quality/artist level as Phish/Pearl jam usually sell at shows.

I was able to get into the Guns N’ Roses one at the Apollo cause I got a call at 745 that someone I knew had tickets that were going to folks that couldn’t make it. 

Again this one is going to be extremely tough. The inner sirius world for this one is chaos for tickets. There is a list and no one will knows who’s getting in until a couple days before. 

Interesting. So you're saying the vast majority of tickets which go to sirius insiders don't get distributed until the last minute? Why is that?
