Sneaking Into Ten Club Seats

Does anyone have any good ideas from keeping Ten Club members from sneaking non-Ten Club members on to the floor? I think at MSG two years ago they gave me a wrist band and wrote a blackline on my ticket stub.

However in LA last year I was suddenly crowded out of my own seat by club members passing their ticket stubs to other people who used the stub to get down on the floor. The two people next to me actually snuck four people down with their ticket stubs. I didn't say anything to them and I probably should have, but I see this becoming a problem.

    Yeah its more annoying than people realize. And I don't see anything wrong with "telling on" people. You paid a lot of money for your seat, you should get the space you paid for. But then problem is, Pearl Jam is up there playing, do I want to go find an usher, yell in their ear the problem, have them come into the row and start checking everyones tickets, and create a big mess for a song or two while it gets sorted out? Very annoying and frustrating...
    words seem so out of place.

    "Mr Security Man... there are people in our row without tickets for the row."


    Let security handle it. That's what they're actually there for. People who take other's seats (of people actually using the seats, not ones left empty from no-shows) are assholes, and should be treated as such.

    at risk of being publicly flogged, i did something similar...except not really at all hahahaha :lol:

    my friend and i were gifted with a very good seat on the floor, all the while we initially had adjoining seats, not on the floor (but still fucking phenomenal! haha). so we agreed that she would get the bulk of the show (i am going to more shows) and then during encore we switched*. although i encounted a douchetastic son of a bitch while getting down there ( a "fan" ... usher told me where to go, incorrectly, unfortunately, but this "fan" was not very nice...i believe his exact words were "No, this ISN'T YOUR FUCKING SEAT" after i showed him my ticket and asked "is this my seat?") but i feel like i stepped on as few toes as possible, i heard pilate, and i didn't piss my pants out of excitement. so, all in all, it was a win.

    no harm, no foul.

    *i only admit this because eddie has publicly endorsed this in the past.
    keep on rockin' in the free world.
