10c tickets are a joke

I got tickets for tonight in Charlottesville on the floor? Behind the pit
And now ticketmaster is releasing floor tickets that are better than 10c tickets.
I have a ok # 158xxx. But shouldn't be surprised my fan club tickets have gradually gotten worse
since 03.

    i think this is a function of people being able to get tickets to more than one show. your still getting some of the best seats in the house. better than the balcony.

    How the hell do you have those seats with a number like that??? Floor?

    Im 165 and for Hartford I had better seats than those on the side. I cant see Charlottsville being a hotspot for many 10 clubbers to flock to.

    Based on previous shows your seats should be on the wings, not the floor.

    FYI, there are SEC 102 seats available on TM right now. Ouch.

    Hmm, that's weird. Your number is better than mine and I had front row on the side in Philly.

    Not to be a cock.

    109xxx Section 114 and I guess Row M or J..cant tell yet, but it sounds like I'm a ways back on Mikes side. I thought it would be at the bottom of a wing...guess we will see shortly.

    Yep, this is what I predicted would happen. I'm guessing not as many 10clubbers entered for GA tickets and went for reserved fearing they would be shut out if they just entered for GA (that's what I did). Then, if not all GA tickets were sold to 10 club, they would release the extras for general public. NOT a fan of this new system. I got side section almost halfway down in Buffalo on 166XXX and really felt sorry for the low number fans who were sitting way back behind the GA section. Not cool, imo.

    I hope they revert back to no General Admission.

    Thats a good point.

    The system def needs to be tweaked.

    In Worcester the 10C floor seats were going to members with high 400 member numbers.

    I'm thinking this venue is either very small or there is a snafu.

    Come on, dude. That's just crazy talk. GA has been fucking awesome. When you get it next time around, you'll be eating your words. Plus, I think it's really energized the shows and that makes it better for all of us, no matter where you're sitting.

    Are there any instances of GA tickets being released for public sale? I have not heard any.

    Uhhhhhhhh I'm getting depressed. LA Sports Arena and 25X,XXX. I'm no NBA player and my wife is very short. I'd rather be rear-wall/rafters/opposite the stage, like the so-called guy in the yellow shirt, rather than be rear floor to be quite honest with you.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    Dude, shows have never lacked energy...and I chose reserved so I don't have to stand in line all day and run over some one to get to the rail. Don't worry, I'm out numbered, so i'm pretty sure they will keep it.

    Yes, there have. They were selling GA to public in Buff that I know of.

    Are your tix the Lightning Bolt-themed tickets or regular TM? I don't know if it's possible, maybe hunt down a 10c representative if you can, or ask to speak with box office manager? With your number in Charlottesville, I would think your seats should be on the wings. At the very least see if they would be willing to exchange your tickets since better ones have popped up. Good luck and try not to let this affect your ability to enjoy the concert.

    Well, there you go. I stand corrected.

    Still doesn't explain why the OP's reserved seats are on the floor. Every other show he would have been on the wing near the stage with a number like that.

    Low fan #s in Buffalo were side stage, not back of floor.

    I didn't mean to imply the shows lacked energy in the past. I just meant that I think GA adds to the energy up front and there is no denying that. I think the band feeds off that energy. I saw them four times so far on this tour and they've been some of the best shows I've ever been to. Sure, it's a combination of the new record and setlists and other things but GA and fresh faces up front are definitely a factor as well. But whatever, this is a side issue anyway.
