Good tickets!!! Impossible!!!!

edited September 2009 in The Porch
I have been a Pearl Jam fan forever and a Ten Club member for a long time. I recently went to two Pearl Jam concerts in Chicago through the ten club. I went online the second the tickets went on sale to ten club members for both shows. Now I know that even though you get them on ten club there is still priority to older member or people who bought first etc....., but my tickets sucked!! The first night I was in the 300 level (United Center) off to the right and the second night I was in 100 level but not close. I have two friends who like Pearl Jam (only the radio hits) but are not ten club members. They got tickets through friends (corporate buddies) in the first and second row center stage. If you can't get those tickets through ten club the second they go on sale, HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET THEM? Don't tell me scalpers!! I actually talked to a lady who went to will call and picked up her ten club tickets and then sold them to get BETTER seating. This is unbelievable!! Ten Club can you please buy the good tickets and sell them to peoples who love being there? Just wondering if anybody else has had this experience?

    Wow guys thanks for all the awesome advise. Let's see two guys are wondering what my tenclub number is. One guy says I'm a one post wonder. Are you guys trying to talk about Pearl Jam in a civil way? or are you so bored that you sit here and rip on people who you think don't know Pearl Jam as good a you?

    I'm not sure what advice you are looking for. And you 10c number decides where your tickets are, not when you buy them.

    I found Trent Reznor's post on the subject quite enlightening (not that I am suggesting PJ is typical of the problem he discusses). It should give you some insight into the myriad of hands that are grabbing at a shrinking no. of tickets... http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?59,548515

    I guess you're missing the point where how early you purchase tickets is irrelevant. You're slotted seats for tix is predetermined due to seniority, genius. The Chi town shows had a shit load of 10C fans. Now move on, and the next time bring your problems up with the 10C directly in a more civil way than calling them out on a site. Oh, and another fact - you're born, you eat shit, and then you die.
