FRONT ROW seats!!!
Anyone have any clue on how they are going to divy up the 1-2 and 8-9 rows. I am sure I am like a BUNCH of other 10C folks that have been trying for YEARS- (17 to be exact) to see PJ from the front rows. For the last 5 tours I have been patiently watching from the 10th - 18th row. Dont get me wrong, I am FOREVER greatful for my seats, but JUST ONCE, I would love to be that close. I can only dream.
Will it be random or the higher numbers.?? Time will tell.

i'm not greedy, so i'll take whatever i get from here on out, but man...1st row would just be...well, there are no words. I think I'd have to retire after that.

it would have been cool if they made it all random this year...it's just a little tour.
Those were gen adm. floor, so you technically didn't get front row seats.
A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.
If you've been a fan all that time, why'd it take you so long to join the 10C? I became a fan in 1994 and JOINED in 1994...

The point is that I have little sympathy for someone who claims to have been a big fan since 1991 who obviously waited a long time to join. The club was only $5 back then and everybody with an interest in PJ knew that FC membership brought ticket privileges. If he was too cheap/lazy/whatever to join, that's fine, but don't whine about being left out in the cold for front row tickets...
sometimes its not a priority
Drop drop dropping it down...oh so gently...
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't turn you away...
Oh, in no way do I claim to be a "great fan" - that wasn't the intention of my post. God, there are scads of people here who are way into PJ. My point was simply that I see no reason why these superfans didn't join way back in the day.
I take issue with folks who say they've loved PJ forever but whine that they have crummy 10C numbers even though they go back so far. Sorry, but you really couldn't afford $5 a year when you were 15? I apologize if money was really that tight, but then again, if you couldn't shell out $5/year, then you had problems to worry about other than concert tickets...
Then don't whine about how you can't get front row seats...
I'm a fan since '95 and didn't even know much about any fan club until 3 years later. If I had I probably would have blown it off then as just another site for teens who want a fake autographed photo amd some other junk memorabilia. Guess I was out of the loop....my mistake...somehow.
Not complaining...I'm happy with my #, but it was pretty easy to blow off fan clubs during a time when most meant nothing at all.
Good question. Its one that has plagued me for years. I was on of the first to join back in the day. In 95 I had a document that showed that i was a member before that. I tried to scan it and send it in to get my number changed, but it didnt work. I had the x-mas singles and newletters. They wouldnt go for it. So I am stuck with 164xxx. I forget the number, but it was real low, something like 43xxx. Makes me made each tour, but it is what it is!
Still grateful to just get tix.

Exactly. I'm only 20. But I own 60 boots, and love the band. It doesn't make me less of a fan than someone who has been a member of the club for 15 years.

me too,sorta. REALLY got into em in 2002 and joined right away. besides, i have never *complained* about my 10c seats, i've been HAPPY to have em. doesn't mean however, that outside of traveling all over to get better seats, go to GA shows to fight for the rail, etc...that i haven't dreamed of simply the CHANCE for a shot at first row at a regular US show. don't think i or anyone *deserve* it....just how COOL it would be! it's a longshot...and one i'd LOVE, but even if it didn't happen...i am still soooooo HAPPY that ANY 10c member, regardless of their # has that golden CHANCE at front row. just the *idea* of it i think excites everyone....VERY cool indeed!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Exactly. I'm 21 and have given back more than my share to the PJ community and I'm happy I FINALLY have at least a very tiny chance of getting somewhere near the stage! Sorry I couldn't join the fan club when I was 4...
I know exactly where your coming from. I think I was only five at the time of the beginning of the Ten Club
Even though no one will believe me, my first row seats (the one time I had them) were not my favorite. Among other reasons, the guy next to me was on his cell phone all night giving a play-by-play report to a friend.
Second and third row can be perfect. Fifth and seventh were great. Other places where I was on the floor much further back, but the arena was well-constructed were also just fine. I don't know, first row made me feel self conscious or something, like I was expected to be having the best time of anyone there. Plus the band usually look a bit past the first row. Also one time at MSG when I was in the second row I was behind two losers who argued on and off the whole time b/c one guy had backstage access in some way but couldn't or wouldn't take the other guy back there. It was so juvenile (and distracting for me). In Seattle one time, I think 2000, (that time that there was that ridiculous entry line that snaked for miles before the show on the first night) a fight broke out in the first row before the show, and the people got thrown out. I always wondered what could have been so important that you would risk getting thrown out of a first row seat at a Seattle PJ show (if anyone knows, please let me know!). So I guess the moral of the story is that it's much more fun when the people immediately around you are having a great time.
I became a fan in 1992 but didn't join til 1996 (I actually got to go to the 1994 NYC show, for which tix were NOT sold to the public AT ALL--so count your blessings!--by winning them from WDHA, a NJ radio station). Sometimes you just fuck up, ya know?
Anyway, I'm okay with my 10C # 161XXX. It gets me 10th row in Colorado and 22nd row in NY/NJ. It hasn't failed me yet.

ummm...no...see not EVERYONE that was into pj since back then knew about the fan club and ticketing privileges. i was 20 in 1991 and have been a fan since ten. i never read the liner notes closely enough to see the 10c info--i was more focused on the music and having fun with my friends. in fact, when i joined the 10c in 2001, i still didn't know anything about 10c tickets. i joined on a whim because i was able to get tb2k cheaper than retail. it wasn't until the riot act tour mailing that i learned about 10c tickets, but it was on after that! i've seen them 26 times all over the world since then.

and i'm sorry i never got to see jimi hendrix...that's just the way it goes, people. 10club has given in slightly to all the bitching, so everyone should be happy with that. and this is coming from a dumbass who let his '94 number lapse until 2000, so its not like i'd be way up front. just everyone enjoy the shows and accept the fact that you were too young for Pearl jam back in the day, just like i was not born before zeppelin's last show. all love at the show. no more bitching...
unless its about ticket prices. thats still ok to bitch about.
Oh well...I'm sorry that I didn't join 15 years ago! I was a lot younger and listening to Hanson as I was in primary school. Sorry!!!!
I loved Pearl Jam since I discovered them in around 2001. I didn't have the funding to become a member until a few years ago.
I guess since I have all the albums/dvds/4 show posters/lots of memorabilia/live bootlegs and am getting a pearl jam tattoo in a couple weeks...i guess that doesn't show my likeness for the band. I guess not!
All hail you, you amazing fan! Grow the fuck up.
I've been a fan since 1992, but didn't join the fan clun until I got a computer in 1999.
I guess 1996 to 1999, or maybe it was early 2000, were really the lean years. i joined 3 or 4 years after you, and my number is 206XXX. What show did you see in 1994? Limelight?
