Each GA drawing is independent. You have the same odds, as anyone else that put in a request, for each show's GA lottery. The amount of tickets may be different, but you have the same odds to get selected for one/two as anyone else that requested. Do we need to get the source code of the program and find out if there is not a random generation? Do we believe that somehow a computer picked the same person's random selection confirmation number purposefully over and over for GA each show? Come on folks.192xxx

Let’s say the odds were 20% for all NE shows except Boston. Sounds much better to win all four, right?
not really. Better, but still

It's even possible the same 10 clubber could have been drawn as the first for every single show.No, not this. Read how odds work for winning multiple draws, such as picking six numbers in the lottery. It’s absolutely not one in fifty, if there are fifty numbers in the lottery. If picking six numbers in six random draws, we would all be millionaires.
The chance of winning each draw is multiplied. If someone goes four for four in shows and each is ten percent, chances of winning all four is 10%*10%*10%*10%.
…
(The chance of winning can be demonstrated as follows: The first number drawn has a 1 in 49 chance of matching. When the draw comes to the second number, there are now only 48 balls left in the bag, because the balls are drawn without replacement. So there is now a 1 in 48 chance of predicting this number.Thus for each of the 49 ways of choosing the first number there are 48 different ways of choosing the second. This means that the probability of correctly predicting 2 numbers drawn from 49 in the correct order is calculated as 1 in 49 × 48. )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_mathematics
Except that the shows are independent of each other. Winning one drawing doesn't exclude you from winning the next. It's random drawing WITH replacement.

Thanks for the clarification @steven87, surely @bf25394 will want to no remove your scenario and that of the person who split GA/Reserved in Vancouver. As it has been mentioned numerous times that Vancouver has been reporting true random drawing results.steven87 said:

My wife only put in for Philly N2, not N1. I guess in retrospect she should’ve also put in for N1 cause it sounds like she probably would’ve won GA for that as well. Based on what I’ve seen on here and FB, it seems like a lot of people got the same result for both nights of a two-night stand- i.e., P1 or GA. If I had to venture a guess, it sounds like what may have happened here is that the lottery may have been run for each city, as opposed to each individual show.

We don't know how many seats at each venue are available.
We don't know how many people requested for each show.
We don't know the breakdown on 1 seat request VS 2 seat request
We don't know who checked what boxes in seat selection.
If 10c felt like sharing some of this - I bet people would not have to wonder why they lost.
Vancouver for example, maybe it didn't even use all of the 10c tickets. So effectively if less seats are requested then seats available your odds are 100% not 10%.
Moving to Philly, check all possible seats my odds of winning the Philly show are the same as everyone else who checked all possible boxes AND also had a single request. However, my odds are higher then the guy who only checked GA/P1 and needs 2 seats because I am open to other seats and only need 1...Rows at stadiums tend to be odd numbers so there always end up a significant number of single seats available.
To evaluate properly the people losing regularly need to identify the boxes they checked, how many seats requested, and what shows.
I lost Philly N1 - I only selected GA/P1 for a Single seat - Not mad about losing, I expected to.

Do we believe that somehow a computer picked the same person's random selection confirmation number purposefully over and over for GA each show? Come on folks.The odds to land *all four* is what is being discussed. Fans are winning Philly twice and ny and Balt. The odds are calculated same as how any lottery is picked. If the lottery is picking one in fifty (with replacement) five times, the odds are 50*50*50*50*50 (one in millions, for the lottery). If it were one in fifty to hit all five we’d all be millionaires, because we’d never stop playing and one in fifty is very doable.
As far as “cmon folks,” let’s look no further when they made a simple error in 2023 assigning seats and had to do a redraw. It happens. That’s not saying that’s happening here, but if we were say five members go four for four hitting those difficult to win cities (historically), the odds are way below 0.1% of that happening.0 -

This is hypothetical. All odds are not the same for every show. So using this as a barometer for why someone didn't win is just going to make people upset.NewfieintheUSA said:
