10 CLUB TIX QUESTIONS-let me get this straight

crazygeo

*The Philly Spectrum has graciously provided Ten Club with a more-than-usual allotment of tickets for our eligible members. However, after our usual allotment, seat allocation (for these additional shows only) will be comparable to general public sale tickets, but still assigned by membership seniority.

therefore, you are not going to be close to the stage on the floor with these tickets like other shows if you have a low # membership..
ex) #120000 members won't be close like the other nights, correct...you are gauranteed a seat but not close

I think it means that since they have so many extra tickets the general seating area you are accustomed to based on your number may not be where you wind up. For example, 262xxx may have gotten halfway up one of the wing sections, but now you will be upper deck.

I took it as:

the first 2000 tickets are the same as usual (including lottery eligible)

After that, seats that are sold would normally be sold on the public on sale, but will still be based on seniority.

Of course that was just my iterpretation. I could certainly be wrong.

It means that people are being given advance warning that though they may have an easier time getting 10C tickets, they may not get great seats.

Even with said warning, people will still complain when they get average seats.

People who go the safe route and opt for a bird in the hand will still expect the 2 birds in the bush!

And by the way, weren't you the one mocking at the idea these shows were actually going to take place?

2 ways it could go.

1. they get normal 10C seats for say 2000 seats and THEN additional seats in less attractive section but at least your in the building.

2. they asked for a ton of seats and the wish was granted but had to sacrafice the best seats (floor and sidestage) and in return got a WHOLE BUNCH in sections that are not normally reserved for 10C but more of a general public sale.

I'll just put my faith in the Ten Club and assume they will looking out for us as they always. In 2003 at the second MSG show, there were huge amount of fan club tix sold and I believe everyone was happy with their seats. I just want in and have to figure a way to afford them as I spent some money on Bruce already, maybe I'll sell that ticket, anything for PJ!

cincybearcat

Is it really that hard to understand?

It says "after our usual allotment"...

So, for the usual amount of 10C tickets, everything remains the same. But for those with higher numbers that end up past that usual allotment, your tickets will be comparable to the General sale...mixed into the other sections. Seems very reasonable and great that the 10C scored more tix for it's fans to get.

crazygeo

if not in the first 20 rows, I don't even care, since I have always seen them at that range. Plus, 2 nights will be fine enough for me already, since by that time on Sat. it will be the same as the rest of the shows...I know we are all looking for a State College II show, but that is not going to happen at the Spectrum on the final night (there is a curfew, security and people who generally work there and they don't get paid extra to stay late)...

actually, they oversold that show....and to 'fix' it, they offered ticket trades for holmdel. given that MSG 2 was my 3rd show ever, only a 10c member since 2002....i went for the trade. the trade, coupled with the then-utilized block method of seating, scored me 11th row! well worth it! i bought some other 10c spare for MSG 2, so indeed...it did work out.

That is not how I take it.... I think they are saying they will take the first 2000 orders and set them in seniority order. Orders after #2000 will get lumped into the secong grouping and then they will also be placed in seniority order. Meaning a VERY high number might be sitting right in front of a VERY LOW number if the high number gets in the first grouping and the low number falls in the second grouping.

i thought that at first too.....but i am thinking cincy's post is probably more accurate. why would 10c make extra work for themselves like that? either way, whatever ANY of us who score 10c tix to this show are VERY lucky!

Hell, I mocked everyone too; everyone had their undies in a bunch about every little detail! You guys are a trip!

Hmmm... looks like I'll be more than satisfied sitting in my box seat that I just confirmed for 10/31then with a 299xxx.

This is true. MSG seats with 299xxx landed me in the upper deck in 03 the first night and stright back in the 100's the second night. Worst seats ever... TM or 10c.

crazygeo

So who's answer is right? I have seen MANY different...But still don't see an EXACT answer..

1.It means that people are being given advance warning that though they may have an easier time getting 10C tickets, they may not get great seats.

Even with said warning, people will still complain when they get average seats.

2.I think they are saying they will take the first 2000 orders and set them in seniority order.

Meaning a VERY high number might be sitting right in front of a VERY LOW number if the high number gets in the first grouping and the low number falls in the second grouping

# 3 sounds right, I think?!^

All I care is that I'm in the building. Driving from the Burgh to Philly for the Friday show so naturally I've got to go to this one as well I kinda banked on it being announced from the start, so I'm glad that it finally was. And although I can't make the first 2 shows, having 4 shows in 5 days in the same city is just epic. Can't wait!

crazygeo

yeah going to wed+fri maybe sat...have a
safe trip in from the Burgh'

agreed. my 10c # at my hometown shows - MSGs - consistently my worst 10c seats, always.
that said, i don't like paying over $100 for a concert ticket, and have done so, at most 2-3 times. so i don't really care where 10c gets me a seat, as long as i get a seat!

crazygeo

so i don't really care where 10c gets me a seat, as long as i get a seat!

when your sitting behing a post/pole...ahh REM back in the day @ Spectrum..you'd care then

81

What did the 10 club say when you asked them?
