Official 2023 Ticket Lottery Results Thread

Remember the good old F5 days?  Log in at a certain time, refresh until you get the tickets you wanted. 



Then you had the anticipation of seeing what seats you were going to get when you picked up your printed tickets, that probably only cost $60.  For some reason, even though that was nearly 2 decades ago, the 10C seats were better then too, despite logic dictating that one's seats should improve over time.

now im getting pissed.  I got neither of my austin nights and folks are getting multiple sets?  GUTTEDDDDDDDD

yes I finally got Austin . Crappy uppers... while people getting much better seats they didnt request 

Got 2 pairs for both Austin shows.  Both reserved floor.  Rows 11 and 12.  If anyone would be interested in swapping Pit for these let me know.

My guess is people with high member numbers will still hear somehting

Has anyone used the Fan to Fan thing before? If you want to get rid of a ticket does just it just go up for the first random person to snag or can you specify a recipient?

You place it up for sale and anyone can buy it. 

As someone who put in for four shows and have been skunked, I’m very interested in the fan to fan… is there more info about it somewhere? I think I read that starting in May is when tickets can become listed. Thanks in advance!

I found that started off very slow last time but the closer the show date came the more and more seats appeared.  You just have to keep an eye on it.

2nd Priority, Chicago N2 GA/Res, Res

Just got an email. Section 216, Row 6

There may still be hope for Chicago folks! 

This. There's probably hope for all venues. Stay faithful, as this ain't done. Thank you 10c!

All, it's not totally confusing as to why someone who listed  any show as 2nd priority would get a ticket and someone with 1st priority wouldn't. My understanding is they group those in 1st priority, run the randomizer/lottery and issue tickets to those who get picked. Once that's done they do that again for 2nd, 3rd, 4th priority etc until all the allotment is gone. 

I could be wrong. Someone let me know if they know otherwise. 

No.  First priority are drawn first.  If tickets remain, they move on to second priority entries.  A first priority person should never lose and a second priority person win. 

That's not how it's worked for the last few tours I don't believe. Been multiple past examples of 2nd, 3rd priority ppl getting tickets and 1st priority ppl getting nothing. it's caused a lot of butthurt for some folks. My first priority was Chicago N1. Haven't received an email yet. Yet some people at 2nd priority have reported getting reserved tickets. 

That is the reason we put priority down. It makes no sense to have priority for pics if it was random as you said. In no way should someone that picked a show as a 2nd get it over someone that put it as a first. That is a broken system

All I'm saying is there was a person here who said they got St Paul tickets for both nights at 5th and 6th priority and then there are people who put those as 1st and/or 2nd priority and haven't heard back yet. I guess they could still get tickets if they're sending out the emails by 10c number. 

People are thinking about "priority" wrong here. This has *nothing* to do with who has "priority" to get drawn, it is *only* and *strictly* your own personal prioritization of your preference of shows to attend. How to translate those personal rankings into something that looks fair across a matrix of multiple people ranking multiple instances is an entire field of study and there are a thousand ways to do it depending on what factors are considered more important. 

Then what is the point of them asking it? Not looking for a fight, just seems to needlessly complicate things if it doesn't have any impact on what order people get drawn.

Lol right it is so simlple

5000 pairs to go out for 10C

Priority 1 is drawn

3000 people have it as a first pick. All win

Priority 2 is drawn

2500 people have it as a second pick. 2000 win. 500 lose. 

Everyone after priority 2 loses 



This is not hard. 

With respect, you're very wrong because you're oversimplifying the problem space. Your example doesn't have 9 events with people ranking subsets of them. A forum post isn't the place to get into it, but for some enlightening lay-audience-oriented discussion take a look for example here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/372916/ranked-preference-matching-algorithm or google "ranked matching", "preference matching", "stable matching", "bipartite graphs", etc.

I am not wrong at all. This is how it was done and should be done. It is the only way that makes sense and only way that works. 

They do a city

They fill GA first the same order as I said up top. GA is now filled. 

They then go to reserved for that same city. 

They fill it the same way I listed above until all reserved seats are taken. 

Move on to the next city. 

The only other option they can do is fill all 9 cities GA's first. Then individually go to each city and do reserved after. It ends up with the same results.

7xxxxx member here, just got an email for Austin 2. (Not a great seat, sec 215 in the back left of the arena, but at least in the building). Would be nice if Austin 1 comes through as well, but knowing I get the last night of the tour either way is nice.

Curious how there can be so many resale listings on seatgeek already…is there anyone who can explain that to me?

Speculative selling. I don't fully understand it.
