what is the 10C lottery worth to you

whispering hands

I can't honestly say that 1500 is worth giving up that spot... to me getting to be thaat close is worth more than money, hence all the time I've pent waiting all day in line for a spot in the pits when they're open to us.. and EVERY time I do that I end up right in front of Stone it never fails, even when I went to Bonnaroo last year that's where I ended up, and that was with a 12 year hiatus from gettign to see the band.... It always seemed funny to me now it just seems that it tends to be my own personal PJ tradition that I end up on Stone's side every time.. But I couldn't give up those seats for even 10,000 dollars. Besides I would be afraid that it WAS a TC sting.. lmao I know I'm paranoid sometimes but, my membership here means the world to me, and I love that we GET those opportunities like that so... can't say I'd trade.

filled my pocket at the same time. I might have even tried for more.

i think he would have gone higher. he went from $1000 to $1500 in about 30 seconds. he really wanted to move. it did not really matter to us, since we had no intention of moving.

i'd have done it in a heartbeat, but only cash in hand. esp if the guy was just at the end of the row. hell, i'd have swapped out for nosebleeds for that kind of money.

I'm usually skeptical of something that seems too good to be true. I wouldn't have done it. With my luck I'd get in trouble and kicked out or something.

It was Dirty Frank!!!

There was a guy at the Portland show that "bought up" seats. Or was it Seattle? I don't remember, but he did find a buyer. Some guy from NY, I believe.

I have to say, it would be awfully hard not to take the cash and only have to move 10 seats left or right.

agreed...

interestingly, im surprised no one did.

ESPECIALLY considering how far you had to move.

Think about it.... $1500 is like 6 local shows or maybe even a trip somewhere cool to see them live again.

I would taken the offer if the other person was 10C and wanted to buy up.

I wish the band would just to a GA floor and then offer 10C members the opportunity to buy either floor tickets or reserved seating by seniority. this whole lottery/seating thing has taken over the experience and when fans start dreaming about winning the lottery and then it doesnt happen, it feels like a loss.

just go GA floor and give fans the choice of GA floor or reserved wing seats.

EDIT: and again, a big thank you to the 10C for great seats in San Diego (12th row center). seats we would never have without them!

I was fortunate enough to win the 10C lottery in San Diego (thanks 10C). front row, right in front of Mike. When we got down to our seats, there was a guy making his way through the aisle offering people money to switch seats with him. we were offered $1500 to give up our seats. here is the catch. he did not want us to move to the back of the arena, just to the end of the aisle... roughly 10 seats away. it was his wife's birthday and he had some connection to mike. my brother and I were blown away that someone was offering so much to move just a short distance, but at the same time there was no doubt that we were not going to give up our seats. in fact, no one did. not one person took him up on his offer. i think it says a lot about how dedicated a group we are as fans.

we, jokingly, wondered if this was some sort of 10C agent similar to Slugworth making an offer for our everlasting gobstoppers.

would you have done the same thing?

Similar for me. LA 4 was my first concert ever. I won the lottery and was 2nd row, dead center. A guy from the 6th row said that it was his wife's bday too. He offered $600 to trade seats. I just could not take him up on that...even though I could have used the $600...the concert seats just meant too much to me.

I always thought if I had far away tickets that it would be funny to go up to someone 5 rows ahead and offer the people $20 to swap seats... an easy $20 to move back just a few rows... and just do that over and over again, all the way up to the first few rows.

front row right in front of mike?

having been lucky enough to enjoy that view a few times

$5000 is my price, and maybe a reach around from the little lady

thats the best seat in the house, and an experience you cannot put a price on :!:

It would be hard to pass the money up. I was front row once at the Showbox 2004 show...it was both the best and worst show of my life. I was front row, in what I think is the best spot, in front of Jeff. Mike and Eddie are my favorites, so being where I was at was the perfect place.
Obviously being front row is why it was the best show I have attended. It was the worst show because I got a pick from Eddie and Jeff and put them in my pocket. Well after the show was over I dug into my pocket to check the picks out in the light...well they were nowhere to be found. I noticed a thumb-sized hole in my pocket, so they must have fallen out, or fallen out from digging my camera, or wallet out of my pocket.. I was devastated. It took me from the PJ high of high to the low of lows
