Seniority Based Fan Club Seating is a LIE

If you've been a long time fan club member like me (almost 15 years), don't expect to get your seats based on your "seniority". Read the boards and you'll find tons of people who have long years in and joined before it was called the Ten Club who got shafted on seat assignments.

Second tour in a row that they tooled me on seats.

The seniority based seating is complete BS and a total lie.

    They hooked me up in Chitown, so I'm gonna say, you're wrong.

    I was disappointed with my seats but still seems like your being overly harsh.
    Maybe get out of the bitter barn and play in the hay?

    I believe that they're issuing tickets based on seniority. I just question how they determine what seats are best. In other words, they seem to think the 11th row against the wall under the speakers is better than the 13th row center. I don't.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I think they do try and do the best they can...but screw ups happen. Like a member 161XXX ending up in a 200 level section of Chicago Night 2...worse seats by far than night 1... ;)

    I'm just thankful to be there and see the guys live at all..after all, they do have family and friends they could be spending this time with...These guys are very dedicated to their fans..and EVERYONE should be grateful for that..it doesn't matter where you are seated..it's the fact that you are THERE!! ;)
    Don't get me wrong.. Front row centre would be sweet tix, but being farthest from the stage is better than not being there at all imo!!
    I wish i was a neutron bomb, for once i could go off!

    I think somebody pulled the ol' switcheroo...... 427xxx and I was on the lower level.

    All I will say is that every band should have a fan club as good as this one. Given how quickly PJ's shows sell out in Vancouver, I'm glad to get any tickets throught the fan club.

    it is hell to get tickets in vancouver. after years of sitting in the back of the stadium (or not getting a ticket at all - and having to rely on the inflated re-sale prices), i finally joined ten club. to even be in the lower bowl for the last few shows, has been amazing.

    I've had comparable seats at almost every show I've been to since 2003. The only exception was at MSG (no shit), and even then, I was on the floor, which was more than I'd hoped for.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get

    I have always thought it depended on where you are seeing your show. I have been a 10c member for almost 18 years so my member # is pretty low.
    I live in the Memphis area.
    I bought 10c tickets to see PJ play in Knoxville in 1998. I couldn't wait! thought I would have killer seats!
    NOPE..... The seats were not good at all. All the way in the back of the venue. :cry:

    Then in 2000 I bought 10c tickets to see PJ play in Memphis.My expectations were pretty low about getting great seats. I had front row seats!!!!!!! :shock:

    Little Rock,AR. 2003 tour. 2nd row center!!!!!! :o

    So I always thought you can have good seniority in 10c but it still depends on where you are seeing this show.
    If I got on a plane and flew to the next LA show I would not get very good seats because I live no where near California. If I see a show near my home town it increases the possibility of great seats.

    Wait, what? I'm not following you. You think it's based on where you live?

    I do agree that it depends on where you're seeing the band, as certain cities have a higher concentration of fans/demand. But I don't think they gave a rats ass where you actually live.

    Like I said this is just how I think it is done. My seniority helps me get better seats at concerts IF they are playing in or around my home where my seniority is compared to others around me who are also in the 10c.Then if I travel to another part of the country (say New York)even though my 10c# might be lower than others at this show that doesn't matter because there are people who live there who deserve that better seat more than me. Does any of this make sense?

    I see what you're saying but that's not how it works. 10c doesn't care what your hometown show is. If someone travels to a show and they have a lower number; they will get better seats. Period.

    Really?
    Like I said, this was just how I thought it was.
    Didn't know I could fly from Memphis to Los Angeles and possibly get 1st,2nd,or 3rd row seats from 10c members who actually live in LA. oh well.....now I know......
