Got my tickets for tonight at United Center and got 300 level behind the stage. WTF? I mean I've only been a member since 2005 but I thought I'd at least be able to see the show.

For the 2006 shows at United Center I was on the floor and to the side of the stage. I know I'm not entitled to the best seats in the house, but 300 level tickets with a bad view?

    oooooh that sucks. from what I see 2001 is pretty good at least for this board. people could've have switched the tix. like people that work in the window. i think that happened in camden a few years ago.

    What section are you in?

    ... starting to believe they got way more than the normal allotment for the Chicago shows ...

    Actually just edited my post...forgot I'd let my membership lapse in 2005 and rejoined so I guess I should know I would get bad ones. Then again, like I said in 2006 my tickets were pretty good.

    I'm in sec 317 - I'm baffled and bummed. I got better tixs for the same price last show at the UC buying with the masses-I had to get 4 so went the regular route. I'm convinced that someone at Ticketmaster switched them-especially since the envelope wasn't sealed. Don't get it. Thought the floor and then side sections were reserved for 10 club(per the email that went out with pickup instructions) Any insight?

    This really sucks!!! Can you talk to the person from the 10 Club in charge of distributing tickets? Must be some kind of mix up or like others have said 10 club had a huge allotment of tickets...which could be the case since tickets were on sale for over a day for these shows.

    I'm in 331 (side/behind stage) and my number is 342xxx. Guess I'll be staring at the back of Stone all night. Here's a seating chart

    Shit. I have a worse 10c number. I'm praying I'm not in the 300's. I thought the point of 10c tickets was to avoid the shitty seats way up.

    check out touringfans for tonights show

    http://www.touringfans.net/seatTracker. ... 2009-08-23

    and this is just a sampling of 10c seats....i'm sure there are more people with low numbers that haven't posted...seems like a popular 10c show...new members are unfortunately

    be glad you're there and enjoy the show

    My number is 413xxx since I also let me Ten Club membership lapse a few years ago. Just picked up my tix and I'm in 317....very bummed. I have never not been on the floor or near it through Ten Club. I mean I knew I'd have worse tickets here in CHI but 317? Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy to be going....just a little bummed as I've never seen PJ from the rafters.

    I've been a ten club member since 2005, we've been to a dozen shows since then on ten club tickets - just picked mine up 10th row - in the 300's. Oh well, we have tickets for tommorrow night too, maybe we will do better. Everyone should just re-set expectations if they have not yet picked up tickets for tonight - should be alot of ten clubers in the rafters tonight :mrgreen:

    Just picked up mine, count me as another bummed fan. I got 301 and these will be the worst seats I've ever seen PJ from. I'm assuming since hardly any other shows had been announced when Chicago was, there are a ton of travelers here. Oh well, should be an excellent couple shows then, and hopefully better seats for tomorrow!

    the notice for chicago and toronto tickets did say that if you want tickets you will be able to get them, i think the presale for just for a certain amount of time and not for how many tickets

    Expectations have been reset with a 416XXX 10c number. Still holding out hope I can win the lottery tonight or tomorrow! Still pumped to be in the building!!!!!!
