IN ROW TWO DEAD CENTER ..... and im sorry to say i will be going with said person to one of the shows .....

I was lucky enough to have gotten 2nd row seats through the 10club when the band played near Portland last year. Was very happy...i have a pretty low member number. It was my brothers first pearl jam concert (my 4th) and we were both really happy and the band was great that night.

we really cant complain either way.

i have a higher number and im happy that i got 10c tix for newark and msg 1 i also got night 2 through tm

im happy cause either way im there..and usually 10c no matter what hooks you up with the best they can seat wise..plus that tiny tiny chance of hitting the lottery..and the fact that i dont have to dish out hundred of dollars on a pair like i did in 08 when everything good was soldout and i was not a member at the time

Come to Europe and have GA entry, no need to worry about where your seats are, where friends and family of the band are...just thinking about the amazing time you're having surrounded by friends and feeling the bass hitting inside your chest

im with you on this .... i just find it crazy that some people get upset about the " lottery" .... one of the threads a few days ago go out of hand and they had to lock it ....i can give a rats ass if they keep the first five rows to them selves ...

joe2468

didn't see that part

it depends on where you see them. that's what it boils down to.

danm i thought was a bitching thread and i was ready to attack it with love,smile, positivity..but was u Joe :twisted: ... :roll:

I am sure they were reserving seats in ten club sections during the pre-lottery days, too.

One will always find a divergence of opinion on this issue, folks. There are some who believe the lottery system is fair and others who do not; and there are those who feel that the issue can be discussed more as a grey area than just black or white. I just think it is great that the folks who win the lottery can gloat, either inwards or outwards, at their fortune and stick it to those who did not win. What makes it even more fun is that you only know on the day of the show whether you have won the lottery or not - it makes winning it even sweeter.

i would think friends and family of the band have a lower number then all of us and would be considered part of the ten club inner circle. thus they sit up front.

stop complaining about your seats. omg i was only in the 11th row. tell that to the guy in the upper deck who loves the bands music more then some "right" to a great seat. get over it.

how about your go start a band and then tell your friends and family to sit in the upper deck.

U R A Crazy Breed

don't worry Joe, you WILL win the lottery............NEXT WEEK!!

Really.. in the end, it's just a band. I don't believe this band does everything right, but I don't believe they do everything wrong. It is what it is, and I've come to the conclusion that taking an impartial stance on matters such as these is the best way to go about it, as the Ten Club have their heads underwater and cannot or will not take advice.

Blah

I just won the lottery and I don't know anyone so atleast there is that. 8-)

i think i gotta disagree with the end of what you said cause i believe the lottery is around because they listened to fans that were never going to be upfront because they joined the 10c recently or just have a high member number. i think they listen.

i'll be honest and do take it the wrong way ...... BUT YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND for getting so mad about 11th row seats .... my 10c number is 132,ish and i only get as close as the 14th row ....... i can see if you get pushed to the back of the floor ...sure go an yell all you want ..... but cmon man its the 11th row ...AND YOU ONLY PAID 160-190 FOR THE PAIR ....... EASY $1,000 per seat for any other band as big ......

im my OP i was trying to clear up some issues ... and what im telling you is the FACTS... straight from the horses mouth ...the better the venue the more people they invite...the more people invite the less 10c fans sit in rows 1,2,9,10 .... the less 10c members sitting in rows 1,2,9,10 they angrier some of you get..... they should have told everyone that they keep some tickets for friends an family .. JUST TO COVER THERE ASS .. and to help with this giant issue we have been having for the past few tours....

once again i can care less what they do with tickets ..AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THEM CHEAP ... and $200 for a pair of 15th row seats IS PLENTY CHEAP FOR ME ... hell i would be happy with spending $400 a pair
