I'm 0-4 as well, system is rigged. They probably gave out ten seats and promoted this single ticket auction to create buzz for their ticket packages.

0 for 10 here, I had no idea how many people actually signed up for it.....I actually thought I had a shot.
WE DON'T, WE DON'T, WE DON'T MESS AROUND HEY!
I'm not sure any of you read what I wrote in the "opening day" tickets thread, but I'll pass along what I know.
Last year, roughly 100,000 people entered the lottery and only 1% of those entries were awarded the opportunity to buy tickets. That's only 1000 people.
"Rounding Third and Heading for Home"
I didn't think last year was a lottery.
Anyway, I think I have 4 tickets locked up in section 130. It may be a week before I can confirm it. As for my secret method....well it seems to be gone now. I got very lucky if it works for me. I was hoping to let my friends and family in on it before they were gone. But now it seems they are already gone. I still don't know if I want to let everyone in on it, since I can't yet confirm my tickets. Even then, if I tell it may hurt my chances for next season.
i wish they set aside like 75% of the leftovers after season ticketers get theres.. and had a rule that if they are sold through an online retailer you could never again buy od tickets.. this is ridiculous.. the saddest part.. a friend of mine knows someone who works for a ticket vendor and while you or I would kill for a ticket.. since we arent willing to spend a grand for 2 seats a few years ago there was more than 200 tickets not used for opening day i have been told.. because they were priced too high..
Still no email at all here.

The lottery sale was going on @ the same time the Bonus OD ticket sale for season ticket holders. Bonus ticket only allowed to buy 2, Lottery winners as I missed got 4(thanks for info). Which makes me think they could possibly make more people happy by cutting down the limit to 2 for lottery winners. Also, makes me think the places like 333seat must have multiple ST accounts, since they have a lot of pairs listed as Etickets ready to print @ home, etc, which had to come from the Bonus OD account method, since the lottery yielded 4, and as far as I know no other tickets are sent out yet.
Best way to get more people and less brokers to get more OD tickets is build a strong ST base and don't buy from scalpers. I know a lot of people cannot afford a whole 20 game package, but even if you have to split a 20 game account with another person(or 4 other people) that give you guarantee OD tickets every other year( or 4th year). I'm in a group that shares a package, and we get at least half of us a pair every other year, thanks to Bonus OD program. There are other benefits too, you can bet brokers are taking advantage of those benefits.
