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. ====================================== > Date: Wed, 25 Dec 1996 21:56:54 -0600 > To: [log in to unmask] > From: MC Blanchard <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: definition: > > >lottery: > >A process by which those who sent their requests in earlier get worse > >seats than those who sent their requests in later. > > > >Charlie (halfway up the the upper deck in the end zone AGAIN) shub > > > Hi Charlie, > > I chuckled at your definition.
