My number is 84xxx and my seats have always been in the first 10 rows, 2nd or 3d row in '06.
BUT this tour TM is allotting fewer tickets to 10C. Does that mean that they aren't all in one block (like in a presale), or just that they're only the first several rows and that's it?
I guess we'll see on touringfans.net.

I'm at 141xxx - usually somewhere between 2nd and 8th row, depending on the size of the rows at the venue. However I was at the show where they messed up (Grand Rapids) and got front row! I couldn't talk the next day.
I dont give a shit about if i should get a seat at 3 or 6 row, if there is seats im not going. Im only going to shows where they play ROCK music and not some classic sit down shit.
I hear ya, on the other hand I can understand people who go to a concert to enjoy the music and not to get beaten up / shoved around. I was way up in the stands in Berlin (even sitting down from time to time) and still had an awesome night AND rocked out quite a bit. To each their own I guess...
i had always been in the front somewhere and never thought of watching a show from a different spot. london was the first show we had seated tickets and i would definitely do it again. i got bit sick of the people in the front and met quite some unfriendly people there. in london we could totally enjoy the show without worries, injuries, insults and other peoples sweat ;-) oh, and most of all, we had enough space to dance, yea!
and btw, whynotsweden: as i once broke my arm due to a crowdsurfer, i highly appreciate the restriction.
yeah ... the value of your member number is based on the following criteria:
1. your hometown population
2. the number of shows the band is playing on specific tour
if they are doing a full on tour - everybody's number becomes a little bit better ... my 106xxx number will probably yield me somewhere between rows 5 and 9 i think tonite in toronto ... if they had announced more shows originally maybe a few of the lower number guys would have skipped the show and maybe i move up a row or two ...
in any case - they will be Fantastic seats regardless and am very grateful for my number ...
I was 9k something but I accidentally let it expire by a month or so, now I'm 55k. I finally made it to 2nd row the last time they were in Chicago, needless to say I'm not thrilled about the first two rows being lottery. I just get a taste then kicked back out.
Are there members w/ numbers under 100 000? Or what's the lowest known number? There must be like threshold category, ie if your below like 150 000(?) you'll get good seats for sure?

Find be yourself.
Don't follow the herd.
Don't repeat in spite of the encores.
Be yourself.
Otherwise you'll bore us.
Says the one with a low #.
HA!
You totally beat me to punch on this guy
living in Philly and going to Phily / NYC shows mainly i've been 12 -17th row on a regular basis.
always on the floor, not lowe level side seats.
the same membership number would obviously get you better seats in less populated areas; midwest, etc...
