    Man, this is some bullshit. I haven't picked up my tickets, but with my terrible seniority, it sounds like I'm guaranteed a 400-level pair. There were seats available all week in the 200-level. What's the point of joining to 10 Club to get the worst seats in the house?! I can get those (and much better) through Comcast Tickets. Seems like this is the new M.O. for the 10C. The whole reason I joined was to get better seats than the general public.

    did you see my post. It is well known that 10C sold much more tickets for tonight's shows than the others, which means, more club members, but more seats which means -- not the greatest seats. Why can't so many people comprehend this???

    I've been a 10C member for 15 years, have been in front row, sixth row, all over the place. But my tix for tonight are section 406! Talk about an outrage! I'm trying VERY hard not to bitch. After all, it is my favorite holiday, I'm seeing my favorite band perform, I have a kick-ass costume. But still....nosebleed section for veteran fan club members? Really? Maybe I should just have another drink.

    What can't you comprehend? Why do some people on this board insist on constantly kissing the 10C's ass? It's also well-known that the 10C didn't sell the entire venue. The 400-level comprises the absolute worst seats in the house (and it's probably 10% or less of the total capacity). What do you mean "not the greatest" seats? They're the WORST fucking seats. I guess you haven't paid attention to the fact that lower level seats have been on ComcastTix all week. Look, you wouldn't even hear a peep out of me if I was in the 300-level, but 400-level is unacceptable. The supposed point of this club is to give the band's fans some of the best seats in the house. They should at least be giving mediocre seats if they can't give everyone good seats. Not sure what the point of selling tickets to the point of sticking people in the 400-level would even be. Nobody is going to be happy about that.

    I'm also curious, since you're so accepting of these seat locations, where did the 10C put you tonight? If you're 400-level, fine. However, if you have great seats and you're making posts like that, you should really just shut your mouth (and get out of this thread).

    I shouldn't even weigh in on this topic because I'm not going to any of the Philly shows, but I couldn't help but notice that your board name is DG110999 and you're saying that your 10C number is 110xxx. There was a lot of confusion after the first Chicago show by people who were confusing their board name with their fan club number. These are not the same thing. You can access your 10C number by logging into the main site, looking on the left hand side of the screen and clicking on the link that says "membership info." Apologies if I wasted your time and you already knew this and I'm wasting my breath. It's just that this exact same misunderstand was occurring after Chicago and there were a lot of people who were upset for this confusion.

    This is really surprising. If you've been a member constantly since 1994 without ever letting the membership lapse then your number should be no where near the top level of the place. I'd do what other people have suggested and look into Touringfans.net to see how others are fairing.

    Again hate to be the bearer of bad news but when these were sold I remember 10C stating that they were getting an much larger number of tickets to this show so why are people suprised when they pick up the tickets?

    Section 102, Row 1, Seats 7 and 8! FRONT ROW DEAD CENTER! WOOOOOOO! I couldnt believe it. Still dont know how to describe it. My mind melted about 8 seconds into the first song and hasnt formed back up yet... oh yea, eddie spoke to me during Yellow Ledbetter. Saw my Navy shirt, said "Thanks Man" and a thumbs up. Buy the boot, you'll hear it. I know I will. I was floored tonight. cant type anymore.....
    In July 2007 Densmore said that he would not rejoin The Doors unless it was fronted by Eddie Vedder. Densmore says, "I play with Jim. If there's someone of that level, OK. I'm not gonna join them with Ian. That's not to diss Ian, he's a good singer - but he's no Jim Morrison. Eddie Vedder? My God, there's a singer."

    Really people? You had nothing better to do on Halloween than to come on a Pearl Jam message board and lie about your member number and seat location?

    Santos, I'm curious about this... What is the philosophy of the Ten Club? I thought it was to get members the best tickets in the house. For this show, a special disclaimer was issued. Everyone was fully aware that seats would not be as good as usual. However, I don't think a single person expected that would include the worst five rows of seats in the entire venue. I joined the 10C because everything I ever read or heard stated how well the 10C treated the members. Well, it sure doesn't seem like 400-level is very good treatment. Why sell tickets through the 10C to the point you have to stick members in the nosebleeds? It would be very easy to just cut the sale off before it hit this threshold. The 10C should not be used as an avenue to sell the shitty seats the venues would have a hard time moving through the public sales. I feel like if you guys are going to start selling some of the worst seats in the house, you should at least reveal seat locations at purchase so that people know what they're getting into. At a minimum, it would at least be nice to know before showing up at the door and being stuck with terrible seats.

    Tonight, I had the pleasure of being next to a ton of "fans" who sat down the majority (or all of the show), talked endlessly throughout the songs, and/or screwed around on their Blackberry for three and a half hours. Additionally, the sound is pretty crappy up that high. It's not loud enough!!! I went through the general sale for Friday night, and I was in the 200-level. There is no comparison. I would have understood if I was given a 300-level pair, but it was a real bummer to be stuck in the 400s.

    If you have time to give a response, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
