Mallory lottery system explained
The Mallory Square lottery system works as follows. If I've made any errors, please feel free to correct them.
First, the Cultural Preservation Society (CPS) leases Mallory every night for 4 hours. Vendors pay the lions share of the lease amount. They are charged $10 or $15 each night to setup. Performers don't pay, but do put money in a tip jar to be put toward the daily lease.
In the lottery there are 4 buckets (Newcomers, Snowbirds, Snowbirds in waiting, Regulars), each with metal washers in them stamped with a number. The lowest numbers are in the Regulars bucket, next lowest in Snowbirds in Waiting on up to the highest numbers in the Newcomers bucket.
It takes 60 days to get from the Newcomers to the Snowbirds bucket
It takes 3 years to get to Snowbirds in waiting
It takes 5 years to get to the Regular bucket
It takes 10 years to get to Grandfather status, who pick first out of the Regulars bucket.
If you've been away from the pitch, and return, you drop down a bucket for 35 days...
There are about 21 spots right now with 9 available for circle shows. This will increase when the pier is finished being re-built. Looks like sometime in mid February.
Hope this helps.
