  • I have a high 10c number and I totally anticipate having high seats. Granted I hope that by some stroke of luck I won't, but I realize that is not likely. Honestly, I am just happy to have tickets. I am also hoping that there were not as many 10c tix to this show and perhaps I will get lucky with at least something in the 200s. If not, oh well ...I will just be thrilled to be there.

    No, his statement was a reaction to another person's honest opinion, which he said was dumb.

It's disappointing to know I could have gone on ticketmaster and received much better seats. Way to treat your fans!

    Maybe the dumbest post regarding 10c seniority I've ever seen

    Dude, just let people post their opinions without telling them they are dumb, for the love of crap. I mean seriously, this is someone's opinion, and if you don't like it, AND you have something constructive to say (other than, "this is a dumb post", "stop whining", or "stop bitching") then is it that hard for you to just not post anything at all???? Unbelievable. I have to say, when you come back with comments like this, it is a reflection on you, and 9/10 times you come out looking more the fool than the OP.

    Hi "the pot". My name is "the kettle". Nice to meet you.

    Yay. Another one of these threads. Just what this board needed.

    You couldn't just contribute to one of the other threads on this topic. Had to start your own, eh?

    Yes, really too bad this person had to put your so far out of your way or so severely inconvenience your life by starting another thread on a given topic. Get over it. If you don't like it, don't read the damn thread.

    And if you don't like my post, don't read it. See how that works?

    Starting new threads on any one topic -- be it Ed's hair, or the new album, or Target or whatever -- is simply bad form. It's like that on any message board I've ever been a part of.

    If there's already a thread on a certain topic, you contribute to THAT thread instead of starting your own. I'm sorry if this is your first day on the Internet, but that's generally how it works.

    For instance, when you whined at me, I simply replied to you within this thread. I didn't start a new thread entitled "STOP WHINING AT ME!" That would have been ridiculous.

    There are only so many awesome seats to go around. What do you expect wen half the fan club comes in for a show.

    If other dates were announced when this show was announced, less people would have gone to this show. But at least you got tix. I know people who got shut out.

    In my defense, it was pretty dumb. Have you seen the setlist or any of the feedback from the show. The idea of giving up a ticket last night or tonight is DUMB

    Seriously. Sometimes dumb people need to be made aware of the fact that they are dumb. It's the only way they will learn.

    The best show I've ever seen I was way up in the 300s. How was the show?
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
  • The show was great last night and to me seeing them is all that matters no matter where you sit.

    The show kicked ass! A lot of people were upset with their seats, but as others have said, when half the arena is 10C members, some are gonna be in the back...I do think 10C actually learns from these situations. When they sold the two additional Philly shows there was a disclaimer saying something like "We have more than our usual amount of tickets for these shows, but after the usual allotment has been allocated, we can't guarantee prime seat location..."

    Anyway, from what i saw, that show rocked from wherever you were sitting...

    I was soooo tempted to walk up to the 300 level from my floor seats and offer to trade last night. There was this guy who smelled like really BAD BO and Wine Belches. It was horrible. Id rather much hang out in the rafters to escape that smell.


    If you were in section 4, I know what you are talking about. I kept saying, "do you smell cheap wine?" seriously,it was pretty powerful.

    According to some posters, PJ are pinpointing their rock vibes to individual seats. I seen a guy in 311 say it didn't kick ass, but I was in 311 and there wasn't and unkicked ass to be seen from my vantage point.

    in all fairness....has anyone EVER gotten a 300 level seat thru 10c before? i've not ever heard of it, nor would i expect it.....not even at MSG, philly, boston or chicago. it definitely IS surprising, and i am sure to some degree, disappointing. i don't think ANYone with a high # expects a prime seat, but i wouldn't imagine worse than the 200 level. hell, the MSG I 2003 show, filled with 10clubbers, and my mediocre # still managed 200 level midway back. i would be very, very surprised to ever get 300 level seats. sure, the OP may be poor form, but i still think the idea behind it....not that far off. at least now i know, i may be in the 300 level for 10.30. :P

    seriously tho, it seems like from my limited reading here....some got 300s....and some didn't.....even with similar 10c #s. also would seem that there must've been at least some TM tix that were sloser/better....and not just the rare single ticket. so it definitely appears to set a precedent in any case.

    hope all managed to have a great time anyway!

    I was by no means expecting GREAT seats, just a pair in the 100 level.... I was SHOCKED when I saw 332... I didnt even think it was a possibility. I wish 10C would have put a disclaimer, like they did for some of the Philly shows (stating that 10C had a lot of seats and therefore they might not be great).

    This being said, I DID have a great time and I DID rock out.... but not thanks to the 10C. Sell fewer 10C seats if you are going to stick some of us in the nosebleeds.

    PS, if you think side stage uppers are worthy of your members, you need to sit up their yourself 10C! :roll:

    The tickets didnt sell out for a few days, If people got 'shut out' its their own fault for not purchasing from the 10C. It was not like a 10 minute Ticketmaster sell out!

    As I posted in the fan forum for the concert...

    I have a significant problem with Pearl Jam/10C when I have friends who have been in the 10C for years, getting the last row in the 300 level. There were people on the 100 level who bought tickets through a local radio presale password on Ticketmaster. If you're going to use the excuse that a lot of 10C members traveled here for the show/there were a lot of friends/family etc.. either don't sell that many 10C tickets, or put a dlsclaimer on the seats you purchase.

    It's 100% false advertising when they claim that members get the best seats. As someone mentioned, they should have had a disclaimer that 10C members could be sitting in the upper rafters of the venue. I'm not paying 50 bucks every year to simply be "there"; I was paying that amount to have the best seats (as Pearl Jam clearly advertises in their membership purchase) to actually see one of my favorite bands and not see ants on the stage from my seats.

    It doesn't matter what their number is...

    The fact is 10C/Pearl Jam advertises that being a part of this club offers you the best seats in the venue. There are people in the 100 level last evening that bought their tickets through a radio presale. It's false advertising. As I said.. I might have reconsidered purchasing tickets to this event, to see one of my favorite bands, if I knew I'd barely see them.

  • Isn't it amazing how all the people unhappy with their seats just so happen to have never posted here before?

    Because I've never posted here doesn't mean:

    1) I haven't been a fan, gone to concerts of theirs, been a member etc as long or longer than you
    2) Posting here, about this specific topic, could mean that I simply wanted as many people who could correct this problem, seeing the massive issues they had last night.

    LOL @ all the people who sit right near the front at every show bitching out members stuck in the upper level for an "entitlement complex." Do you folks realize this wasn't even the middle concourse, but the upper one...? Anybody could score 300-tickets from Ticketmaster. You don't join the 10C to get equal or worse seats than you can get in the general on-sale. What is so hard to understand about that? Why shouldn't people be upset they got stuck in the nosebleeds?

    100% Exactly spot on...

    I don't pay 50 bucks a year to buy tickets, I could have easily purchased on Ticketmaster.
