EX Raid Survey
It's been a whIle and would be interesting to see if a higher percentage of the active players posting on this board have received a pass. Please upvote if you ever received an EX raid pass (if your only pass was removed/cancelled, please upvote but explain in a comment).
Thank you!

Level 40 and finally got my first mewtwo last week , many lower level players here already had one if not 2 at that point . I raid daily and have gold gyms in many ex pass gyms , I've been shafted from the 3 ex raids that I could see from my house ( if I'd had the pass ) although I raid there basically every day between the 4 gyms in that park . The system is very broken however I have 1 low iv mewtwo and therefore can't be that salty...i suppose -.- rabble rabble rabble
Level 39 here, totally free player, rarely if ever let a free raid pass go unused, buy 1-2 extra passes per week with gym-earned coins.
Two EX raids, two Mewtwos. Both were at locations where I raided specifically because there had been previous EX raids there. One Sprint gym, one park. I still have only bronze badges at both gyms, and might not have even been bronze when I got the EX passes.
General location is the suburbs of a second-tier USA metro area.
I received the first 6 invites that came out (my playing area has been very fortunate) and none since then. When testing was still going on it appeared 6 was the limit. Many of my fellow trainers hit the same cap.
Since beta testing concluded a handful of them have received an additional (or two?) pass. I have not yet. The gods know I haven't slowed down raiding. I gave gold gyms for nearly every gym in my main stomping grounds too.
4 accounts in family. 6 EX invites, 3 at same sponsored gym.
High 30s very active - 2 invites ... both 600 miles from hometown. Once able to go but the entire Trainer Club crashed about half hour before raid and got fixed half hour after. So, 2 passes but unable to participate.
Low 30s #1 - no invites
Low 30s #2 - 3 invites. Trainer Club failure and one other 600 miles from home. Only one in family to get hometown invite and catch.
Low 30s #3 - 1 invite. 600 miles from home. Local family went to raid to participate. Caught.
Hometown: 50 gyms, 35,000 people, and 1 EX raid EVER.
600 miles away: suburb of second-tier US metro area.
In my city there are 6 locations that hold Ex-raids. 2 Sprint store, 2 Starbucks, and 2 park locations. It appears that the locations alternate each week. 3 during one week, the other three the next. I just noticed the regularity recently. So I started adding the alternate 3 gyms to my raids each week. Fortunately, later today is my first Ex-raid since week 2 of the test period. It’s in a park, the sponsored location ex-raids got cancelled. We’ll see how the cancelled raids affects the rotation.

I did my first two (Ho-Oh) raids at the park location the week before passes went out, and i’m Low silver there. I’m high silver at the sponsored location I wasn’t invited too (where I have raided about 10 times including the first 2 Ex-raids).
