Any ideas? It sounds as if it’s the “luck of the draw” sort of thing…thanks!
what kind of money would you think one would need to put down? 10k? 25k? 100k? more?
ok thank Thin…I was told that about 30 minutes ago too by a broker…

Getting in on premarket IPO shares is nearly impossible. First of all, shares are issued to the brokerage firms best clients which most likely means the ones with most money. It takes thousands of dollars to get your hands on these shares and even then you are likely to get an very small quantity. Sorry for the bad news, good luck though!
You need to be a brokerage, the owner, a partner, or a lucky and respected employee to “get in” on an IPO. Or a VERY important client of the brokerage involved. It isn’t going to happen.
And just so you don’t confuse yourself too much, there IS no public stock “prior to an IPO”…
