53 odds for GA. 99 for reserved is how I read it.

I believe this is correct

So 99% of those that request reserved tickets should get them as of when those numbers were posted? Correct?

Historically it's meant that everyone who puts in for them gets them, i.e. they have more tickets than have been requested, since they don't show 100%.

It's a good start and I'm sure the singles help a great deal, but the odds swing by 5-10% on the last day alone.

We would’ve put in for GA but I’m too old and Mrs Wease would not like the pit at all.

I could be wrong here, someone on the pit said TM is keeping the RES odds locked in at 99%

Not true.

Also, what would the upside of that be?

I really don’t care about where I am as long as I have tickets. Denver not using SafeTix or whatever is annoying just because I have friends who want to go that aren’t in the Ten Club. The Tool ticket experience was a nightmare with bots so hope this is better.

I did the same thing and will do the same thing as you (stand in back). The problem with Reserved is the 2nd half of the floor in seats *sucks* and they usually put a lot of low # ten club people in those seats even though being elevated on the sides is much better.

That's good for you...it will be easy for you to transfer the tickets to your friends in Denver. They don't need to be in 10 club. Will be easily transferable through your TM account I believe (by law).

How is GA if you aren't willing to camp out for hours? Want to go to the MSG show - I know its unlikely but wondering if I should even be in the lottery. Can you get out to go to the bathroom or are you stuck for three hours? If you're in the back of the pit can you even see anything? Or is it terrible? Like basically can you have a good experience without camping out?

You just will have to stand in the back of GA is all. You won't get up front unless you camp out, but the front is crowded with douchecanoes. We all stood at the back of GA in Missoula and it was wonderful.

The absolute back of the GA pit will be fantastic view. But you don't have to worry cause odds you win the MSG pit lottery are very low, probably 5% when this is all done.

Pretty much this.

This is all I wanted to know - Im surprised you can see from there. I know I probably won't win it however if Im going to enter at all I wanted to make sure it was worth it (and not possibly get stuck with a bad experience)

Think about it this way...the back of the pit is 1/3 the floor area. The back 2/3 ARE SEATS. Would you rather have a reserved seat where you will be standing anyway - much further back? Or ability to move around with lots of space in front of them?

Right. GA is best, followed by reserved to the side of the stage.

I'd actually prefer reserved side of stage but just no way to know if you'll get that unless your 10 club # is 5 digits.

I've been lucky enough to snag those seats for three shows. With a 270XXX number. I think it depends on a lot of factors.

Totally...i have 160xxx and concerned they will put me on the back of the floor thinking that is *better*. Much easier when whole floor is GA and just going with Reserved.

Yeah back of floor seating sucks. I'm worried about that too

Yeah. I'm not sure if I like not having the control over it, but the sheer number of seats reserved for Ten Club members makes me confident my seats will be better than anything available in the general sale.

if I put in for a show and get tickets but have to sell them through the little sell/transfer system that they devised, can I sell them to someone I know or will I be forced to sell to some rando?
