    When you're back from a 3 week cruise with first class accomodations, it must really suck when you have to wash the dishes.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    My heart bleeds for you , all the way back in the 12th row !!

    indeed.
    it has NADa to do with the lottery.
    i have seen 4-5 shows now with the lottery system in place, and my seats were in the usual areas. your seats are moved back 2-4 rows, at MOST, depending on your 10c#. that is negligble. whatever went down with 10c seats in chitown, nothing to do with the lottery!



    btw - curious...how does one "upgrade" from row 12 to row 3? i'd love to learn of this new option. i may want to utilize it in the future. ;)

    I too have a 5 digit number and was sitting very close to you.
    In Toronto I was 4th Row, Chicago 1 I was 11th row. I have been front row many times and never feel that it is my right to have great tickets.

    I WAS THRILLED TO BE IN ROW 11 and in the building last night.

    Stop the silliness, you (we) are entitled to nothing... and I am sorry you are short... Napoleon concurred most of Europe on a horse... maybe you should get one.

    I'm in Row 11 tonight. Didn't go last night. Couldn't.
    I'm not mad about being in Row 11 at all.
    I AM however, curious to know how I had 5th & 6th Row for the Chicago shows on the last tour but now get pushed back 6 rows. How does that happen? I'd understand if it was 2 rows(Due to the lottery), but 6 rows?
    Are there that many more fan clubbers at these shows?

    Either way, I'm sure tonight will ROCK!!!!!!

    Sorry but to me the original post sounds like the people at "Gentleman's Lunch Clubs" grumbling when the club changes their policy to let women and people of color into their club.

    I am 25XXXX and have a pretty wide range of rear floor and up the sides experiences. While the 1XXXXX or 0XXXXX people have enjoyed the front for years. What about kids, new blood, in the fanbase? If a 16 year old falls in love with PJ, it is not their fault they are younger than the band itself is it? So they get a 10c number and are doomed for life? I respect loyalty too. I think the lottery is great in that new fans can share the front of the bus experience.

    Sorry, your 3 lb lobster tail is now 2.5 lbs to accommodate for some scraps to be given to some kids with flies in their eyesockets. Generosity is a good thing.

    It does not represent the rest of the PJ fans.... so.... that helps me remember about going to PJ shows. :mrgreen:

    You really would stray away from PJ shows because of a few unappreciated PJ fans.... tsk tsk, you're letting them win!!!

    More people going to this show because it is a smaller tour. 2006 was a full out tour (except for us towards the south), this is a quick little ditty where the band wasn't coming close to many people...so they're going to chicago

    Yeah I hear he was a pretty short guy. Last year at MSG I was in Row 41 on the floor, i come in at 5 foot 6 inches maybe, you know what? I didn't care, I just thought it was pretty special I was in MSG, one of the worlds greatest arenas watching my favorite band.

    Also I think its really funny how you spelled "conquered" because I was watching that simpsons episode yesterday where Carl gets the word of the day calander and he is agreeing with lenny and he says "I conquer"
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    That's actually what I thought.
    Like I said, still glad to be on the floor with a 6 digit number:)
    And, I had Row 4 for Eddie in Chicago. So, it all works out, I guess:)

    PJ ROCKS!!!!!

    I didn't win the lottery last night and I had the best seats I've ever had. Sorry you had TERRIBLE seats dude. I laugh at how spoiled some of you people are. Be happy you could afford to go and enjoy the music in the first place! Isn't that what it's all about anyways? THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THAT made me laugh!

    and hey, this 40 year old "kid" with a 257xxx # would LOVE to win the first or second row lottery one day! 10.30 would be awesome ;)...but whenever.....! :mrgreen: for now, i will continue to enjoy whatever seats my # gets me in whatever cities...and the rare treats of sharing someone else's far better 10#, such as 10.31...or a few other shows in the past....and yea, those rare GA shows when this scrappy and short 40 year old dreamer holds onto the rail all night! 8-)
