Who the f*%# allocated 10C seats?

I get to pay a $15 premium per ticket to sit in row R BOTH Thurs & Sat?!

OK I realise I'm lucky to be going to so many shows...but these allocations are bullshit - especially considering the releases they've Bern putting out.

My mate has 3rd row foe both nights (stoked for him) and other mates had 10th & 12th rows - I'm half a dozen rows from the goddamn back.

This is bollocks 10C! At least you could've mixed the allocations up a bit.

    Someone else got front row BOTH nights.

    That's really shit if everyone has the same seats both nights.

    That's amazing! Talk about the luck of the draw. Shitty for the op when he got such a raw deal. Yes we pay a premium for Ten Club tickets and we expect to get decent seats, don't blame him for feeling ripped off when he got nothing good.

    I'm stoked for everyone who got up the front. No doubt about it. But you'd think those are first, will later be last...

    Apparently the times, they aren't a-changin.

    There's nothing random in everyone getting the same seats both nights...but yes, I'm definitely better off than a lot of ppl.

    The dude who's with me came from SCOTLAND for this tour - I feel worse for him!!
  • missislesmissisles Posts: 539
    yeah
    i still dont think id complain knowing people totally missed out all together

    there wouldve been a deal between venue, promoter and ev management.

    10 club would have nothing to do with you sitting 10 rows back.

    i'd say blame whoever matches up the ticket order with the group of holds at qtix. i bet they just printed out x amount of pairs form the allocated holds and bunged em in envelopes, 1 by 1 with a list of names of 10c orders. nothing malicious, it's just a job for someone. some chick workin in qtix offices isnt gonna go around researching what tickets someone had the last nights and make it even for everyone.

    im pretty sure it was the same deal for ed's US tour.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    You're right - I need to stop being such a princess!!

    I just needed to vent so I wasn't grumpy in the show. At least I acknowledged straight up I was still in a privileged position!!

    WTF? Both night's already front row?!? That's fucked up but not the first time that's happened. During the Ed '08 tour, I remembered 2 ladies who did 6 show's who scored front row seats for 4 of the 6 show's, back to back. The other 2 show's they had 2nd row seats. Plus those were lottery seat day's. Their luck was unfuckbelievable.

    Yeah....it seems everyone got the same seats tonight as they did last night. Good if you're at the front. Fucking shit if you're at the back.

    Correct. They are random seats throughout the venue. I guess some of us just thought that we'd still be in say the first half of the venue....or still get semi-decent seats....not 6 rows from the back....both nights.

    it's not random when people going to multiple shows have ended up with the exact same tickets as the night before.

    Who's bitching? I'm just saying how can it be random or luck of the draw when people have ended up with the exact same seats as the night before? I'm not saying it's 10 clubs fault. Just saying it's by no means random.

    How come saying anything around this place that isn't how great pearl jam or how great ten club is automatically becomes bitching?? There is nothing even negative with what I said, it's just a fact, the same people have ended up in the exact same spot as the previous night. that is not random or luck of the draw at all. I never said its not great they are seeing Ed, but if it was me I would still be somewhat disappointed about the situation also.

    it was bitching in general

    you got tix from 10c
    cheer the fuck up
    people missed 10c
    missed the ticketmaster presale
    and missed normal sale

    and arent going at all

    so to people that arent up front sucks to be
    but theyre better then the people at home on their couches gutted that they arent there at all

    Umm, I was one of those people until I got a call last minute yesterday *edit sorry Thursday* from a mate who had a spare.

    What I have said, and others, is fact, so far there is nothing random about the ticket placements so far.

    The O.P just wanted to vent, he did, then said it was still great that he is actually there, I can understand wanting to vent. It just bugs me that you can't saying anything round this place with out being jumped on as bitching or having a whinge.

    I hope I DON'T get ""the exact same tickets as the night before.[/quote]"""

    I KNOW I have a really shitty seat for my FAVOURITE show I am really looking forward to.
    If the shitty seat syndrome continues throughout my travels, I'm going to have to go into granny bogan mode, turn my hearing aid up and handbag my way toward the front......as long as I can actually HEAR it, I'm ok. ;)

    AND
    IF YOU WANNA BE REALLY ANAL

    EXACT WORKING

    Ten Club tickets for the EV solo tour will NOT be seniority based. Tickets are being held in unspecified locations throughout the venues.


    doesnt say random
    doesnt say luck of draw
    maybe its alphabetical

    get over it
    its ed
    and its gonna be fucking awsome.

    I'd love some anal. But honestly I don't give a fuck about tickets or where they were. what annoys me about this place is no one can say anything without getting fucking jumped on. For some reason we have to be grateful little fucking drones that pearl jam allow us to listen to their music. Thats what I find annoying about this place. No one can have an opinion or say what they fell, the guy was disappointed in the fact he got the same seats. He has every right to be.

    You are the one using the words random and luck of the draw to shoot this guy down for having feelings. I just don't get why everyone round here has to jump on a guy for saying something. Not just in this situation but anywhere in this place it just seems to be that we all have to agree with how wonderful everything ten club and pearl jam do in general. Like all that needed to be said is, oh that's a shame youre disappointed, but just remember some people actually missed out. But everyone always seems to be on the defensive straight away in this place.
