Ticket allotment for Philly, 10/27 & 10/31

*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.

As much as I think I might understand this statement, I still feel a little confused with what exactly this means.

I mean I don't get it - shouldn't it be a given that anything above and beyond the usual tickets (which most often are floor and maybe some wings) that 10C is allotted are going to be the same type of tickets that one might otherwise buy in the public sale, as in lower bowl, upper deck, etc? Isn't this stating the obvious? And why also state that they are still assigned by seniority? My question I suppose is why not just say "10C was allotted more tickets than usual" and that's it. Can someone explain to me exactly how the Tim/10C's statement was different? Thanks!! :D

    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. 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

    3.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.

    I remember last year some 10C members got lawn seats for a show and weren't too happy about. This is just covering their asses in case the seats for some ain't so great.

    My take on this is like a venue presale where they give people with a passcode a chance to buy tickets before the public sale. In this case PJ and 10c negotiated to offer this opportunity to us, once the normal fan club alottment is done. A big thank you to the band and 10C for doing this for us.
    My bad geo for not reading your thorough post but only the first post.

    Thanks for explaining! I don't care where they sit me I just hope I'm lucky enough to get tickets!

    I can only hope!
  • To be perfectly honest, I don't give a shit where my seats are as long as I actually GET seats this time. Getting shut out of 10C and Comcast sales in the same week was a major fuckin' bummer last time.
