    I for one won't be buying 10c tickets again. Hated not knowing where I was sitting beforehand...and here is the rest of my whinge...

    1. Brisbane #1 and #2, missed out on 10c tickets and brought presale tickets...great...got to choose where I sat and happy with it..(to think I had been SOO disappointed on missing out on 10c tickets just makes me laugh now)

    2. Canberra...10c tickets...up the back with drunk idiots who kept calling out crap all night and singing the songs drunkedly at the top of their voices...if I had wanted to hear them sing and not eddie, I certainly wouldn't have paid $100 for it..(at least if you are surrounded by 10c members they know the words to the bloody songs) What was worse was knowing that Canberra had struggled to sell and I probably could have got better seats if I'd brought them independently.

    3. Newcastle...again I had 10c tickets, got row U, was so pissed off I promptly went to the ticket window, brought 2 tickets in row H and had a great night...except for the fact two blokes who had been drinking at the pub and who only remembered pearl jam from 'ten' days said they had heard he was in town an hour before and thought it was 'worth a look' and had rocked up to the ticket window and brought better tickets then a lot of 10c members had...I knew one lady who had been a member since 1992 and got tickets quite a few rows back then these walk-ins off the street...again...these guys were blind drunk and yelling out for ten songs...to add insult to injury there were also two spare tickets in front of us...and knowing that other 10c members were stuck up the back when good tickets were being released an hour before the show just shits me...I thought there may have been SOME benefits to being in the fan club

    Just to mention...I don't want seats close to the front to get to see/meet eddie (like many it seems)...I just want to be able to HEAR and SEE the show from a decent position and without loudmouthed idiots who have no concept of a EDDIE VEDDER solo gig as opposed to a pearl jam concert.

    The whole 10c ticket thing has left a bad taste in my mouth and reminded me why I have always hated being a part of any kind of group and why in future I will buy my tickets independently or even through ebay if needed. This time round 10c failed the majority of it's members I think. By the way, I was a member from way back and have attended many a concert as both a 10c member and non 10c member, so am not new to all this stuff.

    Obviously the fan club has grown too big for it to really offer any benefits anymore.
    I think that's about all I have to say. Hope those with 10c tickets enjoy the rest of the shows....just a word of advice for anyone wanting a decent seat...I would be checking with each venue on the day of the gig to see what they have going...don't rely on 10c, you will be disappointed.

    Yeah i think ten c have screwed up this time with the tickets, i was 9th row in the stalls in newcastle and that was just a box office ticket not ten c. All the drunk guys in brisbane were pissing me off, one guy was stinking of beer! :evil:
    Let them wash away

    Our ticket allocator who art in box office,
    hallowed be thy name.
    Thy tickets will come.
    Thy will be done
    at the State Theatre tonight as it is in heaven.
    Give us this day my front row seat,
    and forgive us our requests for songs we know he won't play,
    as we forgive those who backstage trespass without us,
    and lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us to EV.

    Amen.

    Random as last night. A friend who joined end of last year got 2nd row : )

    And another story, one of my other friends rocked up around 8pm to the box office and asked if any tickets were left. The dude said 'yep, I have a pair left'. My friend said 'OK, cool where are they located?', to which box office man said, '4th Row Stalls'. True story! :shock:

    Definitely random, got moved forward to row F last night, compared to the back stalls the previous two shows. Sat and Sun are public tickets for me, so no more seat lottery! :D

    can you imagine how boring it would be for the (a) band to have the same member # 1,2,3,4,... upfront at every show... I think mixing it up is good! (within the first 30 rows) ;)


    Yeah I can see that would be a bit freaky if it every show.. I reckon the lottery they did was good idea.. 1st three rows or something were mixed 10c then after row three seniority started again.... sounds good....
    Closest Ive been with 10c seating is row 9 at Newcastle 06
