sorry but i agree, i got sucky tix too, would have been better off getting them on my own... i've been a fan from the start, but either due to finances or just life getting in the way, my membership lapsed so now i have really bad senority. this is the first time i got tix through ten club, and i now see i shouldn't have, they just released tix today that are way better than what i got with ten club. i just think that's a pretty sucky thing to do when there are so many fan club mebers who got awful seats. but i'm not suprised, i got shafted in '95 when the distrubuted the tix themselves, ordered gen. add. but got seats all the way in the top back row at soldier field. when i called they basically said too bad(can you tell i'm still bitter?)guess i'll never get to see them up close.
I've had front row, 2nd row, 5th row, 12th row, and many others. Tonight I have section 121 row 3, and all thats running through my head is: I saw pj when I was 17 and now I'm seeing them when I'm 29. I feel like the luckiest dude alive, regardless of where I'll be sitting.
Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
It be the first time a 232 and 426 are near each other,lol. I for one don't care where I sit as long as its not back of the floor. Row 1 or 10 would be sweet though,haha.
forget it...people like you and me and a few others that i wont name are blacklisted from EVER winning the lottery.
The way I see it....there are Millions of Pearl Jam fans in the world who would love to be going......and you are one of the lucky small percentage of that fan base who actually get to be there. You are one lucky dude. Cheer Up
[quote="StevieG" ... have to say that there are a lot of fucking knobs here. Nobody has a gun to your head... if you don't like it, fuck off.
Dude you've been around here long enough to know that most members would understand if someone was having a tough time if they said that. As a member I disagree with jackoffs ripping 10cers off which is against the club rules, to make a buck. Why stay if we're all whiny jerks with nothing positive to add? Maybe the Nuge is looking for fans.Just my 2 knobs worth.:-D

As though if you didn't buy 10C tickets you would have waited until today to buy tickets from TM. Save it. You would have bought tickets the day they went on sale through TM and would have had worse seats than you do today. I bet your tickets are better than anyone buying tickets for behind the stage.
to the girl with the hemmoroids or whatever you were complaining about..... why bother getting tickets in the first place? What if I was seated next to you. You are going to tell me to not rock out , dance, jump or whatever because you have an injury? Thats really selfish .... and unbelievable. So I waited years for a PJ show , or maybe my first show ever and I have to worry about you! I cant believe someone would expect a whole section to accomodate her. Stay home!

Never say never my friend! There'll be plenty more shows and plenty more chances for you to see them up close. Last year I was way up at the top in the MSG watching tiny figures in the distance, last week I was second row at Shepherd's Bush, inches away from shaking Ed's hand. I'm not boasting, just trying to stay positive for you

So many people on here bitching about their seat location. You should be thankful that you are at least in the building and will be seeing the greatest band in the world tonight!!! I'd kill to be in Chicago at tonight's show. I have to wait until the end of October to see them in Philly. I have a shitty Ten Club # and I'm not expecting really good seats...I'll take what I can get and be happy that I'm at the show.

I have the worst luck when it comes to any type of lottery. Winning the 10c lottery isn't even in my thoughts.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Sorry for going OT on the OP. I am more than happy with the 10 tix I've received and am grateful whatever I get. Guess getting called a knob set me awol.

hey aNIMal, my seats are in section 334! pretty sucky if you ask me, and i always get better seats than that through tm! by the way thanx goldrush for the positive thoughts
Sairbear what's your 10c. If its anything over 400,xxx you are right where you should be for a major market show. If people don't like the seats the 10c gives you, then take your chances with ticketmaster and deal with all those hackers and scalpers and ticket brokers. I'll take 10c seats anyday of the week over ticketmaster.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
Here's an interesting point...her number (BionicAmy) is the 121st best on touringfans.....and she missed the lottery by TWO....and she's going to 3 shows in four days? Not a lot to complain about!

it's not that i'm not glad to be going to the show, i'm just saying that i've had way better luck with tm, besides it kinda bummed me out to see tix in section 119 on tm today when my seats are in 334. why did they hold better sections for release today than what the gave 10c members?
Section 115 row 19 available on TM right now....behind stage though! :?
i have a feeling we're in store for a major bitchfest after tonight's show.
Yea it seems like its from members with really high numbers. What are you people expecting to get, side stage row 1. Seriously if you aren't happy with them then don't renew and take your chances with ticketmaster, its as simple as that. Its unreal the amount of bitching that goes on. Be happy you get to see them. Try living in sweden or japan and never ever seeing the band or the south.

They must of gotten more than the 10% allocation of tickets, to be filling up the wings like that (reminds me of seattle 2000, where the fan seats were half the arena).
I guess the benefit of shows with the 10% fan club limit, is if you get tix you sit closers. Downside is if you're the people who can't get tix to that particualr show.
but yah.. if you're going to a show thats got a boatload of 10c members going, you probably won't be sitting too close
Yeah - its looking like at least the first half is all TC and at least the 2nd half of the floor is partly/mostly TC. I'm guessing up until like TC #s... 140xxxish?
hey just because you have a high fan club # doesn't mean you're any less of a fan, some of us may not have the money to renew every year or like me my membership lapsed when i was out of the country helping my sister with more important matters. people have lives, stuff happens, i was a member since the mid-'90s all for naught because my membership lapsed. alot of the people with low #'s act like they are some how superior, you're not... maybe 10c should look at the way bands like u2 do there fan club tix, if you ask me it's alot more fair. everyone has a chance to get decent seats, and you know what you're getting when you buy them, not just suprised on the day of the show. besides is it fair that the same people always get good seats forever, what about the teenagers who just discovered pj, will they ever get good seats? probably not.
I'm gonna get flamed for bringing this up again...I can just see metsfan groaning and going, "Here we go again with this shit with IamMine!"
But... aNiMaL, you were talking about TM tickets?
I was just thinking about mitchmoore2's TM tickets he bought - the front row for LA show through TM?
Suppose I had been shut out of 10c's presales for whatever reason... not enough money, tickets all gone, last minute plan, whatever...
And I showed up...but everywhere there are scalpers asking for more money for the tickets.
I want to get in but for face value...
Is it fair that if mitchmoore2 had asked for more than face value so that I can get in?
I know it's completely another argument and not related... but in terms of fairness and being a 10c member holding a TM ticket that would have allowed me to get in for face value... I'd much rather go through 10c and having the worst seats.
:P
I hope everyone who were able to go to Chicago, got in and paid fair for their seats.... regardless of their seat locations!

Amen. I would LOVE to be in Chicago, rockin' out to the greatest band in the world. That said, I just didn't have the means to do so. So those that are lucky enough to be there (anywhere in the building), why don't you just enjoy the moment and take it all in - as opposed to crying about seat location.
I've been a 10C member since 1996 and I have to say that they have been nothing but awesome to me. I've been to forty shows since my first at Randall's and have bought 10C tickets to many shows. I'd like to tell all the 10C doubters/haters/complainers about two of my experiences when seeing the band.
Back in 1998 you could only order one show per tour. Being from New Jersey I chose to go to the only announced MSG show at the time (9/10/98). Tickets were mailed to you back in the day and I didn't get mine when the general sale went on. After the first show sold out they announced a second show and I immediately bought tickets to the 9/11/98 show. Firgured that I now had 10C tickets to the first night and pretty crappy seats the second night.
Well a few days later my 10C tickets come in the mail. Turns out they over sold the 9/10/98 show and I got tickets tforhe 9/11 show instead. However they were first row between stone and ed. turned out to be a pretty good show.
2003 same thing. oversold the second msg show and I opted for holmdel tickets iinstead. got first row in between MIke and Ed.
At least now I know what i'm in for if I don't ever get lottery. I'm 418,xxx.. will I complain? Absolutely not. Let's all get mad at the people who went to Woodstock because they were born before us.
And to the woman with the medical problem.. that's something u should take up when you bought the tix. Pearl Jam is gonna care if you don't go tonight, so it all depends on if you wanna hurt their feelings.

Why bitch? Ya'll got to be there...I didn't!
I'd love to be in the building tonight...even behind the stage...I mean shit, it's behind riff-meister Mike afterall!
