Clearly, the WH will honor the 200 VIP requests first. If they didn't, there would be no reason to offer VIP. Then, they'll go through and process the remaining 1000 pavilion requests.
I'm assuming everyone is thinking that is the process now? The first stage of ticketing that is done "at random" to determine who is in the lottery is essentially gone now for the good pavilion seats?

I think this is absolutely correct. Two separate lotteries, with Premier Requests having the chance to fill/almost completely fill the Pit and lower pavilion if there are enough requests. Second lottery to fill the remaining WH allotment of tickets. A LOT of general lottery requests are going to become lawn if the box wasn't checked, and regular GA pit requests are going to be harder to get.
I'll bet that, like the WH section of the lawn, there will be a new pit-within-the-pit for Premier purchasers. I can't see them tossing the high dollar folks in with the lower priced Pit goers to have to still punch and elbow their way to the front.
One upside to this is virtually no one is buying Premier for more than 3-4 shows, tops. Select Big Ticket shows are going to see the wealth of Premier Requests, but they won't take up more than a row or two at regular one night stops.

They'd far rather people be confused and think 2 tickets = $250 than have even a few folks be confused and think 2 tickets = 2x$500 = $1000.
