I still say they should make the 1st 25 rows lottery. That way ALL the elitist fucks, who have their imaginary relationship with Eddie, can realize that they are not entitled to a fucking thing. That way nobody has any fucking idea where they are sitting. I have friends of mine, who would literally foam at the fucking mouth, if they had to sit in the 26th row, or in the first 2 side sections.
I honestly think it should be rows 1 & 2 plus the first row of the side stage seats on both sides instead of rows 9 and 10. With those 2 rows included in the lottery it always moves me back 4 rows instead of 2. hahahahahahahaha
And if anyone doubts the fact that it isnt ALL about those precious fucking tickets for 90% of the people here, then go look at the review threads, on the Given To Fly Forum. There are a few hundred reviews of all the shows so far. Right? And 90% of those reviews all start out with the person Telling everyone EXACTLY where their seats were.
Because its all about those precious fucking tickets.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I would like to hear parrothead's rebuttal As my dad always says, "suck it up whiny ass".
No shit....
He is whiny about his 17th row tickets? I hope next time his seat in the 4th fucking balcony, in the womens restroom, stall number 3. And he is in charge of providing fresh panty shields for all the ladies.

I think the missconception is that your ten club numnber back in the 90's used to mean something. Now it is just a number, You have venue people, and the bands friends all pushing people back, plus is a smaller tour. I am 176XXX. I just hope for MSG I am in section 68 like back in 2008 that was a sweet view. Ten club only guarantees u a spot in the house, not the best ticket. But I am happy for that service at the least.

Yes that would be perfect for parrothead! Im sure he has never been anywheres other than the floor. Would be nice for him to experience something else. I was 4th balcony behind the stage at MSG 08 and I still rocked the fuck out and had a GREAT time.

I have never sat anywhere remotey close to that.....and the truth is im fine with that. I sat 2nd to last row at the spectrum last year and I would do it again in a sencond. People need to just start being grateful that the band WE ALL love, and the band that unites us is still rocking and putting out truly great music after almost 20 years.
I agree with the complaining...yet, this is something that has been nurtured by the fan club.
I think many believe that the longer we've been in the club, the closer we are to actually being in the band.
Once we hit front row, the next stop is the drum riser!
Rewarding those who have stuck with the band over the long haul is nice, but they've created a lot of monsters. Myself not excluded.

"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"
it the whiner's would just give up and let their membership lapse i would be very appreciative

They do the best they can for all involved, they keep seniority in place to both reward longtime members and aid in thwarting scalpers from joining to whatever extent they can. The fact that someone can be disappointed with 17th row with what is a good, but not great, member number is sad. You know you lost 4 rows to the lottery, so that means you would otherise have been row 13. With that 10c number thats about right. You have to factor in that in some venues 10c doesn't get every seat down front, sometimes there are VIP/season tix packages that claim some, plus of course the pair in the front row reserved for taper and his friend.
My guess is that without 10club, the OP would never sniff anything near the 17th row. Some people just can't see the forest for the trees.
the system is fine the way it is
every member has a shot at tickets for every show
and every member has a shot at being in the front row.
everyone is treated the same for every show
how about alternating tours between seniority and lotto?
I'd like that for tours where they have 2 stops in a city. example, for the 2 MSG shows, do one show senority, the next complete lottery for all 10C tickets.
I always wonder if the seemingly endless parade of complainers represents a majority of 10C members or rather just an incredibly vocal minority. I do hope it is the latter, and if so I would hate to see the system changed in a way that punishes longtime members who aren't constantly griping about being screwed or shafted in some way.
You know what's disappionting? Being a San Francisco 10C member since '95 and having a grand total of TWO shows for which 10C seats were available.
They didn't play here in '96; didn't come in '98 (though they did play in Sacto, 90 miles away - and that was GA); one Binaural show in '00, for which I did get awesome seats; one Riot Act show in '03, again awesome seats; for Avacado, GA only for the S.F. '06 shows (would it have killed them to rope off a section for 10C members? Oh that's right, they let us line up early - great for those of us with actual jobs!); and they haven't come here for ANY of the recent non-album-year tours. The "Backspacer show" that we got last year? A GA, expensive, non-PJ festival show in Golden Gate Park. Yet they managed to do FOUR shows in L.A. with great 10C seats. (Yes, I could travel, but some of us can't afford to do so, either in time or money (or both).
For what I've paid in 10C fees, I could have scalped good seats for the whopping two shows I've seen. So I laugh when people complain about the QUALITY of their 10C seats - at least you're getting them!

That would cut down traveling big time, and would result in fewer tickets being sold overall.
