    Probably not a definitive answer for this available at this point, but at least some guesses or opinions would be cool to hear (wondering this myself!).

    Usually for higher numbers the worst you will get is the back of the floor.... which isn't too horrible, especially if you're taller.

    I would *hope* that 10C wouldn't include back of floor in their allotments, as these are considered by most, if not all, to actually be the worst seats in any venue. They tend to be the one area of the entire arena where you CAN'T actually see anything (unless you're 6-5 or taller!)

    Well... I have a pretty high number as well... 353xxx. And back in 2006, when the number was about as high as it could be, I went to Detroit, and was in a section which would be equivalent to 204 in the Spectrum. I was about 20 rows up. Not great... but very watchable, and if you know much about line array type sound systems, the sound is usually really good at the back of the "U".

    Later that year we went to DC, and had better seats. Side view about 25 rows up, equivalent to section 225 in the Spectrum.

    For the Petty/PJ show in Denver we had something that would be similar to section 202, again about 20 rows up. I hope that gives you some insight...

    Me too! I'm 5' 10 so I would have to work the art of trying to move up. Haha I'd rather be in the first level on the side if that's the case, but am not greedy as Pearl Jam fans shouldn't be. We are all friends in my eyes. Thanks just looking for some general info about prior experiences with fan club tickets.

    I got a pair through the Comcast sale and the "operator" told me it was standing room only on the floor. So, I am hoping that 10C tix for this show are GA Floor seats. Does not surprise me though...Neil Young, Springsteen, and The Dead were standing room floor at The Spectrum recently... :D

    sorry to crash your hope, but i'm in the low 200s and they threw me to the back of the floor for both msg shows last year. i hope this time around, they put the lowest numbers in the first half of the floor, then start filling up the wings, then put the newest members at the back of the floor. sorry, but it's only fair if it's truly seniority-based.

    I managed to get second to the last row on the floor in Vegas 2003. It was a great show, but it was really hard to see...and I am tall. I would have rather been up on the sides are in the back in a higher section than on the floor that far back. Oh yeah, my number is 239xxx and had been in the club for about 3 years at that time. That same tour I ended up 16 rows from the stage on Mike's side in Raleigh. It really makes a big difference where the show is and how many 10c people are there. I talked to alot of people at the Vegas show and there were a ton from California and other areas.

    With Philly being sold out and it being the only east coast location, I would not expect anything great. Good luck !!
    Charlotte(10-4-96)
    Raleigh(8-31-98)
    Greensboro(8-6-00)
    Raleigh(4-15-03), Las Vegas(6-6-03)
    Boston(9-28-04),Toledo(10-2-04),Asheville(10-6-04)
    Pittsburgh(6-24-06)
    Columbia (6-16-08)
    Austin (10-4-09), Philadelphia (10-28-09, 10-30-09, 10-31-09)

    I will be seriously bumming if they put us higher numbers in the back on the floor (400xxx). I'm 5 ft tall. I'd rather go hang out in the hall way of the upper tier than stand behind so many taller people that I can't see a thing. I've been there before, and to get 10c tix only to be placed in the worst possible seats for viewing, I'd rather have nosebleeds.

    I'm 6'2, starting around row 20, it gets harder and harder to see the stage. I wouldn't want to be on the back of the floor. Its the downside of having 50 rows without an incline.

    Oh I understand its fair and seniority based, no question there. My question is why they would even bother including rear floor seats for ANY members in their allotment negotiation, being that these are not just "iffy" seats or "so so" seats, these are the worst seats you could get. Would seem to go against the concept of trying to get the best seats for the members.

    this isn't intended to get your hopes up, it's just conjecture, but based on the methodology of the '08 lottery the highest 10C numbers (i believe yours is currently almost right at the back) could very likely be selected once again in the lottery this time around for seats in rows 1-2,...

    again, just conjecture,...

    ;)
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I am 429xxx and 5'4" - I think the back of the floor would be really tough for me to see anything - I am hoping 10c puts higher #s in the wings. Was looking for info on the Spectrum - it holds 18K. If the club gets 10%, thats 1,800 seats. Not sure how many floor seats there are to fill though...I'm hoping for the best :)
    Its good to be back!!

    I hate to break it to you but 10c almost always has seats in the back of the floor for whatever reason. I am also in the 200's and have been in the back of the floor for some shows including msg 1 and 2 last year.......

    i am 205XXX and in nassau coliseum in 2003 i was all the way in the rear, behind and adjacent to the mixing / sound board setups,on the floor . I could see okay ( i'm 6 ft ) but my girl couldnt see squat .

    Everytime after that , i have been in the wings in close proximity to the stage .

    Best Of Luck and Enjoy !

    As some have already said:

    I am in the low 200's and was at the back of the floor for both of last years MSG shows.

    These Philly shows have very similar demand and expect my seats to be very similar. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised - but I am expecting this going in...

    I am 318xxx and I am expecting to get back of the floor. Would be bad for me as I am 5'5. I have a few additional tickets I bought for people and I am considering actually using those in the 300's.
