hope you don't mind my sending a copy of your mail to the list.  It
appears that the Bradley Center did not follow their own published
procedures.  In a sheet they sent me they said that only orders
received by May 15 would be in the early lottery, and that later
orders would be handled on a first come, first served basis.  The
Bradley Center did not announce a sell out until the October/november
time frame, but it seems like, from what you say, that virtually ALL
the seats were taken in the early lottery if, indeed, only the early
orders were lotterized.
