Thanks 10c for my 34 row tickets on the floor

  • i totally agree with the group A and B idea. i was talking with a friend of mine and we thought something along those lines as well.

    here's what we were thinking....
    as a 10c member you get "priority seating" to one show per tour which would be seniority based for those priority tix, then you could purchase a pair of tix to unlimited shows, also seniority based behind the priority seating, with lottery for priority seating being rows 1 & 2 and rows 9 & 10 for general 10c seating.

    First of all I would like to thank you for all you do. I just have a little question on how the tickets went this time. Last few shows I have been on the side of stage in the first few rows. Great view and I could see everything. I don't care about being on the floor. Seats in the wings and the side are awesome. This time I ended up in the hhh row 3 about the 33rd or 34th row. I was wondering if for the next tour we could go back to distributing tickets like the tours before this. The floor seats are way overated. Especially once you get back past the 20th row. So just my feedback for next time. Talking with members back with me last night they were surprised too. First time I had been to a Pearl Jam concert and 10c members were unhappy about their seats. Every concert in the past they were stoked.

    Thanks again!

    HI Brian,

    To answer your question, ticket distribution procedures have been the same for years with the exception of adding the four lottery rows. Where you sit will shift depending on seating map, how many tickets Ten Club was given to sell, and how many members with lower numbers than your own had also purchase tickets. We hope this helps you understand seating assignments a bit better.

    Best,
    10c

    they 10c has problems administering the current allocation

    adding any additional steps would only make it worse
    and establishing some sort of hierarchy would, in some cases, eliminate seniority for member in cities where there is not enough "priority seating" for all 10c members-you would then have hometown members buying the secondary seats, but not getting the seats that their seniority would otherwise provide.
    giving "hometown" fans first shot would be nice, but not at the expense of eliminating seniority
    I am sorry but I do not support any plan that eliminates seniority in any way-and my number isnt even that great

    as it stands all members have an equal shot at tickets at all shows, including the lottery rows

    pretty fair if you ask me

    I agree with you 100% ... and i think my 10c number is "worse" than yours. (but it's alllll good.) ;)

    I could've sworn a few years ago tenclub announced they would no longer use back of the house floor seats and instead would put fans on the side wings since they received lots of feedback that it was impossible to see the stage past row 20 (even row 15 for those who are not 6' or taller). I know I read it somewhere. I remember in 2006 being up way up high side stage because of them not using the back of the floor Maybe because so many fans attended SD, they had no choice but use them....

    They had been doing this. Just think they fucked it up in SD..... but who knows for sure?

    Back in the day, you could get a pair of tickets for only ONE show per tour. Now I'm not saying to go back to this, because obviously so many people love to go to multiple shows. But back then my seats were much better because of this.

    You don't even have to go that far. Just get one show per tour through TenClub period! And if you're dying to go to multiple shows, well, no one's stopping you from getting tickets from Ticketmaster! You really DON'T have to be up within three rows every damn show in order to enjoy what's going on on stage. Even though Vedder might have looked into your eyes for a brief second and given you his bottle of wine or put on your hat...or..just insert whatever drama that takes place over there up in front row, he's not likely to leave his wife and kids for you. So, just give it up and go to TM. Seriously, trust me on that. If you catch the Ticketmaster sale the second it starts, there is a good chance that you'll get good seats. Case in point, my Ticketmaster seat was only two rows up from my TenClub seat between Oct 6 and 7 shows in the same section and I have a good TenC number.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    I agree.


    At the end of the day. If you are going to have a club based on seniority. Then do it right. I know with my 185... number I never ever expect or anyone with close to membership to be in the front row but we don't expect to be in the 30th to 40th row when you have member with number 200xxx-30000 sitting in the wings a few rows from Mike and Stone. My question to 10c how can you consider a floor seat so far back to better than one on the wings? Remember this is a club based on seniority.

    Next time I think I will go with ticketmaster. I had better tickets in 2000 at San Diego Sports Arena in my only 2nd year of the membership. Great show but I ended up in the 34th row on the floor. Membership # 185xxx. Please take care of the people that live in the actual city the concert is being played in the future. 34th row?????? Totally bummed right now. I'm 6'3 and I could barely see.

    I couldn't AGREE with you more. I've been saying this for quite awhile now - 10C says they try to get us the "best" seats available, and then distribute those based on seniority, which is great. The issue that I have (and the OP as well) is why would they bother acquiring tickets for the rear of the floor to begin with? Can you honestly say you'd rather sit in the back of the floor than in the balcony??? I mean seriously, at least in the balcony you can SEE SOMETHING. I feel you man, those rear floor seats are HANDS down the worst seats you can have for any arena concert. My point is that 10C should only acquire the first 20 rows (tops!) of the floor, and then spill over into the lower bowl, or for that matter, anywhere else in the arena than rear floor. And please, enough of the "just be happy to be in the building" crap, because that's not what is being discussed here, and has no place in this conversation. At this point, the only reason I'm still in 10C is because of the lottery possibility, but if that doesn't pan out for these shows and I get seats like the OP, you simply cannot blame us for not rejoining the club.

    +1 on that one, WISH it was like this again. :(

    Wow, could that response be ANY less effective at answering the original question!?!?! Wow. Totally dodged the point of the question, just repeated the concept of seniority, which I think we all know fairly well by now, nothing about WHY 10C actually accepts rear floor seats from the venue as opposed to lower bowl, etc.
  • EvolverEvolver Posts: 525
    Why didn't this guy just think outside the box and offer to trade his seats with someone who had wing seats in an elevated section so his girlfriend would have been able to see.
    Do you think someone who had wing seats would be stupid enough to willingly put themselves in the rear floor (worst seats in the house)? Are you serious?

    They take what they are given by the venue??? Not sure whether they have much option in 'demanding' or 'rejecting' seats.

  • maybe they like to give non hardcore fans decent seats too. i would.
  • Honestly, I've looked at and heard about some other 'fan clubs' and 10c is the best. You don't know how lucky you are. PJ loves their fans and does great things for them. Row 34 was a bit of bad luck, but it doesn't happen that way every time, does it?
