If he really wants to go to both Brooklyn 2 and Hartford, I'd be putting them at pref 1 and 2 and hoping for the best.

Q: How does the show priority selection factor in to the drawing?

A: For each show we will randomly draw members who have made that show their #1 priority. If any tickets remain the system will randomly draw names of members who have chosen that show as their #2 priority, and so on until every ticket for a given show has been sold.

Haha, yes, I've seen this a lot. It's no mystery, 10C have actually made it pretty clear:

Here's the choices that guy posted a few pages back:

1) Brooklyn Night 2 - Reserved
2) Brooklyn Night 2 - Floor
3) Brooklyn Night 1 - Reserved
4) Brooklyn Night 1 - Floor
5) Hartford - Reserved
6) Hartford - Floor

His best shot is at choice 1 but, even then, that's far from certain since the NYC shows will be in very high demand. 10C have already confirmed that the GA sections have significantly less tickets available than reserved, so I imagine the GA section on both NYC shows (and most others) will be sold out on first preferences alone.

I have no idea why anybody would bother to put anything for Brooklyn or Philadelphia as a second option if there is any possible other shows they can make. I can't imagine any option for any of those shows will be unpopular enough that they'll get through everyone who had their #1 choice given to them. I get if you have no other shows as options putting them all in there, but there's no way you're getting anything other than your first choice.

Also, you'd be amazed how many people still think they just put all of the names in a hat, pick out a set, and then try to give everyone their highest option available. I have no idea why anyone thinks this, but there are a lot of people who think this is how it works. Inevitably some people who had Brooklyn or Philadelphia as their top choices will be furious and ready to decry the system when people are able to get tickets for both Dallas & OKC, or Charlottesville & Charlotte, or some other combination of less popular shows.

That's what that 96 day countdown clock is for on their page...lol

Actually, I think they said it updates in real time as tickets are drawn, of course we have no idea where we will be sitting if we get reserved seats until we pick up tix at will call on day of show. Also it's only 530am on west coast and we know damn well they're not up yet unless they're sitting in traffic on I-5

The same guy who leaked the cities in advance of the announcement says there's a good chance for 2nd shows in Worcester and Seattle; it was in the Live forum, 2013 rumors thread.
