Has anyone had any experience picking up their presale tickets through the 10club. I am going to the Chicago 8/24 show. Can you give any recommendations. Does it help to get there early or have they already assigned the tickets. Have you gone to the box office to get them? The 10club hasn't given much info on this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, can't wait!

    Getting there early does not improve your tickets they are already assigned. With that being said lines do sometimes form and can be quite long as the show approaches.

    Unless 10c instructs you otherwise - the box office of the venue for pickup.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    not many people here have gone to pick up 10c tickets.



    Actually. It has no bearing on your seat location. I prefer to go as early as I can just for peace of mind that the tickets are in hand. If you go late it could get crowded or even disastrous (Hartford 08)

    it does help to get there early as there could be quite a line but like was stated above, the seats are pre-assigned.

    does anyone know how good the tickets usually are for tenclub members? it's my first time buying them and i am worried that they might not be good seats. are they usually ok? floor or lower bowl sides? i just hope they aren't in the back up high.

    depends on your 10c number.

    For Chicago, I wouldn't worry about lines. Since they went to the new system where the seats are predetermined, I've only heard of lines in Hartford and MSG. I would think at the most you'll have a 5-10 minute wait. If you get there at 7:00 o'clock you'll probably be the 5th person in line.

    You should have received an email about what time ticket distribution starts. Got mine the other day.

    I'll be showing up at Chicago around 7:00 with no worries about getting my tickets by 7:08.

    Doesn't it seem like there are more new members buying tickets this "tour"?

    Kinda cool. ;)

    I would recommend getting the tickets early (say before 5pm) as lines will create havoc towards show time. I always get my 10c ticets early as if I even missed one song I would be SO pissed. A lot of fans missed out on the first 5 or 6 songs at the Gorge in 2006 and similar at Hartford last year. People need to be more organized so than they won;t complain about the 10c ticket lines. GET YOUR 10C TICKETS EARLY!!
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

    I know how to pick the shows as I was at both of these and wasn't fun.

    Absolutely. Make the time to get there early and you wont have any problems. You can go, pick 'em up and go off and have a drink somewhere maybe, depending on how far you are from city areas. I had no problem picking up my Ten Club ticket in '06, there wasn't even anyone queued up before me.

    oh- even though i've been a fan for years and years, i've only been a 10c member since last year. i guess that means i'll probably get the worst of the 10c seat allotment. i've got some good back up seats just incase, i was just hoping my 10c seats would be better. guess i'll just have to wait and see.
    thanks for responding :D
