-Tours are getting smaller=less seats
-Fans are older and can afford to travel to shows
-PJ fans are no longer restricted to seeing shows in their country or region( ex. Europe, N.A.)...So there are fans from many countries traveling around to see shows.
Just thank the 10C for their effforts and please stop the negativity.

Greece and Halifax
Sure about that?
That is how that works. Less people shut out means you sit further back. So in this situation the
TC cannot win.
why are American concerts always all seated affairs?
Actually the last 10 of 11 U2 shows I have been to in the US, I have been in GA. Also the second Pearl Jam show I went to (Rock for Choice in Pensacola) had a GA floor as well.

the ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,
yeah, others, they've got none, huh-uh
Yes
Best case scenario for me was when me and 3 friends took a ride up to the pearl jam show in Halifax. 2 of my friends. Paid 400 dollars to sit 2 rows from the back of the arena and I had tickets in the 3rd row inbetween mike and eddie. That was an awesome show. At that point i realized why everyone wants to be up front. PLus the setlist was one fo my favorites. sinces that show i have been back and forth between arenas and ampithearthers. if my fan club seats are in an arena i am pretty much always 20-25 rows back in an ampitheathre i al usually between 15-18. If anything my seats get better with evry new show I attend they dont get worse. For everyone who complains jeck man just deal with it alot of fan clubs basically make you pay twice as much or even as much as 5 times as mmuch for nothing. and even at that point you arent gauranteed tickets. I wanted to see the Red hot chili peppers in Boston so bad I got on their fan club to get seats at their boston garedn show after Stadium arcadium cam out. needless to say ticketmaster fucked up and sent the pass word out to the whoel world and i could even get 2 tickets together. a week later tickets went onsale for the RHCP show in albany i went on at 10 am and ended up wit 5th row bam jusy like that couldnt believe it. anyways sorry for the ramblings but there are wy to many people on this board who bitch and bitch about getting shitty fucking seats who gives a fuck where you sit if you are i nthe arena you hear the same music as the guy next to you as the guy 3 levels up in the batroom to the guy 15 sections over smoking that big fatty to the girl behind the stage over there no to your left. i go to the shows for the music not to say i got to sit in row 1 or 3 or i got a back stage pass. man if ebryone would just quit their nitchin about where they are sitting we would have half as many usuless threads on this message board and everyone wouldnt seem so miserable. SOrry for my constant ramblings about the same this this whole reply basically but judt go for the msuci if you get a good seat great I am happy for your and the next guy but now a dys if the show is in an arena there is no bad seat. but anyways fuck it just go to the show grab a beer smoke a joint joint bumo aline pick your posion just don't do it infront of any kids and do it in moderation and you will forget about your so called shitty fan club seats. AT LEAST PEARL JAM IS ONE OF THE FEW BANDS THAT HOOKUP THEIR FANS. if you dont like my thread I dont care just like i dont care about your shitty 10cseat that you have to talk about in every other gooddanm thread. Peace out people and sorry for my spellin and grammar those were 2 things i was never that good at in school.

the who tragedy in 79
I think I'd heard of that years back so yeah. Understandable
hey in light of that I don't think anyone should bitch about tickets - just to be in the venue safely is what matters - enjoy the shows everyone!
Fair enough, but that was a long time ago and was due to a succession of errors from various parties. Things have changed a lot since then and, though accidents can (and will) still happen where there is a huge crowd, GA is a lot safer.
No real problems here in GA venues, why should it be different in the US?
Yeah, that's bs. Sometimes people have knowledge of something and just jump at the opportunity to apply it to something that is totally irrelevant. My first gig was Soundgarden in 1997 (sorry, actually November 1996)... It was in an arena and I was front row in the GA floor. It was an amazing time and there were mosh pits and people going crazy but everyone was respectful of everyone else. Anyone in the mosh, wanted to be there. If they didn't the were free to enjoy the show rockin out with everyone else on the floor.
There's no kind of nationwide ban on GA floors at venues in the US. And I'm pretty sure PJ has played its fair share of GA venues throughout the 90s. Why they no longer do is anyone's guess. They could certainly have the floor be GA at any arena if they wanted to.
Oh and to clarify, I lived in the US until 2003... that Soundgarden gig was where I saw PJ play one year later as a seated gig.

That being said, I've had the expectation that over the years I would get at least SLIGHTLY better seats. I mean, even if people ahead aren't voluntarily giving up their numbers, some of them have to be letting them slip, or their circumstances change, or whatever.
I started the thread because I was curious as to why mine seem to be getting slightly worse. People responded with reasons that seem plausible...and that's what I wanted.
I'm not really much of a complainer. I'll participate with my money when I deem it worthy and will stop participating with my money when I don't. As of these last two shows, it's getting closer to the point where I won't find it worthwhile to stay in the club for the tickets. It's not past that point yet, though.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

Oh and we like our teeth
It's pretty easy when look at it this way, for KC and StL there was no way that as many members requested tix for these show as MSG, Mansfield and Hartford, it goes by seniority and there's no way every member requested tickets. So there is a good chance that say member number 175,xxx requested tix and then the next closes member number to request tickets was 225,xxx.
I went to Columbus, Indy and Clvd and my seats went from really good, good and then great, I have no complaints, in 2008 I went to MSG, Hartford and Mansfield, but this time I chose not to try and go to those venues because I didn't want to have to try and get tickets for those places because I knew it would be hard.
I got 10 Club tickets to Columbus, Indy and Clvd with ease and all of them in 5 minutes or less, so I think from now on I am going to try and see them in places like that if they continue to play them and try every once and a while to go to the bigger shows on the east coast.
