I was about #7500 in priority points before last season. I know for a fact that I was one of the last people on the list to get tickets, as I didn't initially get them, but then later received a call from the 12MF saying a set had opened up.
There will be considerably fewer seats available this go 'round, as last year, they added a significant number of seats by taking 201 and 204 away from GA and making them reserved. The only ones coming open this year will be non-renewals.
I don't think there will be very much in the way of non-renewal this year, and there aren't going to be any additional seats added (unless they decide to finish off killing the student section, which I don't foresee happening)
Go ahead and ask, and submit a request, but unless you're sitting in the top 1000 or so on the priority points list, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Good luck!
