Official 2023 Ticket Lottery Results Thread

Maybe I missed something, but it was understanding that choosing GA / Reserved was giving you the same odds of getting a reserved seat as choosing just "Reserved". That is how I understood the information. I was also concerned that choosing both "GA / Reserved" and "Reserved"  may result in being disqualified etc. As such, my wife, close friend and I all choose "GA /  Reserved" for  St Paul nights 1 and 2. We all go shut out which is very strange as some folks are getting St Paul as their 4th or 5th choice. It appears that choosing both "GA / Reserved" and "Reserved" increased your odds of getting a seat. 

Regardless a very disappointing and confusing day

For what it's worth, this is what I got back. I asked 15 minutes ago if I was still in the running.

For those still waiting

What site did you use to message and ask them? I can't find where.

Yes, person B won the lottery and person A did not. Proves that priorities only matter after being selected as a winner in the lottery.

If it worked that way wouldn’t we have seen a lot more random winnings vs. what we saw:  groups of St Paul, then Chicago, No Austin early in the day, no Indy lawn…..you’re saying early lottery winners, none of them picked those cities?

Both St. Paul shows requested, credit card charged 5 hours ago, and still no email. I think this means I got tickets and more emails will be sent out. Am I wrong?

Yep that means you got tickets. Make sure to check your spam.

I have never seen extra pairs being sent out or people that have low priorities winning over others.  You usually win if you pick reserved in a smaller market. Is this GA/Reserved option new? Maybe that had something to do with the unusual results.

So when do these tickets show up in our Ticketmaster accounts?

Again: nobody here knows how the process is actually happening. Some people have a very strong opinion on how it "should" be happening, and to that, I'll just paste this again: 

For the people who think the "only reasonable" way to do it is to pull from priority 1 for a city, then if there's any left, pull from priority 2, etc. Consider these two people's preference sets in order:

Person A: Austin, St. Paul, Noblesville

Person B: Chicago, Austin, St. Paul, Noblesville. 

If Chicago has high demand and Person B does not get it, and Austin, St. Paul, and Noblesville all have enough seats for pretty much everyone in priority 1 and not much else, it's entirely likely that Person A gets all three of their picks, while Person B gets zero because they put Chicago first, maybe because they live in Chicago and would prefer not to travel if possible. Who knows. Personally, I find that an extraordinarily unfair system. I'm not saying a system with some other outcome is necessarily better, but I'm saying this "obvious" "only reasonable" system is not at all that. 

I respectfully disagree.  Please try to explain logically how someone that put Chicago as his or her 3rd, 4th or 5th priority, regardless of what his or her 1st and 2nd priority were, would get selected for Chicago tickets over someone that put in a total of two requests, both of which were Chicago, and received zero tickets. 

I don’t have an answer for that hypothetical. We don’t k ow that has happened, if it did, I’d be very curious why. I’m addressing the people who were aggressively and insultingly saying one particular method is “obviously” the only right one, by pointing out that it gives rise to outcomes which a reasonable person could consider quite unfair.
