was funny, when i picked up my tickets the chick at the counter goes " There you go, Good luck!"
I was in Row E too .. it was actually 12 rows back according to the seating plan. I was near the left aisle though and got distracted a lot by being near the EXIT sign and with people coming and going. As well as that we were watched like hawks by the door staff.

I had row K first night through 10C and Row DD(4th row middle) for night 2 through QTIX. And whilst it was brilliant being close to the front, I couldn't have given a shit where I was sitting, as long as I was there. My mate got me the QTIX tickets as he already had his 10C tickets for himself (thanks Solace23 - lifesaver!!). I ended up with better seats, but he still enjoyed the show as much as me ( I was playing it up a bit at the starts of the show, how good the seats he bought me were. But all in Good humour) We had people all round both nights who didn't have 10C tickets.
I don't see what the big deal is, if you don't like the way 10C operate then don't pay. I love being a member, if for no other reason, than I am a member of my fav band's club- like a badge of honour. I can understand the OP's original post, and have no problem with his questions raised. But others have jumped on and taken it in an entirely different direction. My 2 cents
I'll ride the wave where it takes me

I just looked at the email that 10 club sent me straight after I purchased the tickets and it says tickets are randomly chosen in advance. If I'd known that before I bought the 10 club tickets I probably wouldn't have used 10c.
This information was posted on the official site and this forum well before they went on sale though.

mustve. cos i reckon i remember reading it as a reason as to why 10c tickets were the same price as the box office. cos it was a bit of a lottery.
Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.
Well I just found this on the original announcement thread.
"Ten Club tickets for the EV solo tour will NOT be seniority based. Tickets are being held in unspecified locations throughout the venues."
I guess I should read things properly next time.

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.
whats your 10c no, leash? 350-400+?

I'm a recent member, joined soley in hope of A. getting a ticket (which I did ) & B. getting a good seat (not so lucky :( ) My number 462xxx & got lateral seat row 'R'.

I have no problem at all with the way it was allocated, those long term members are obviously more passionate then me... shame 10c made a point of stating "Ten Club tickets for the EV solo tour will NOT be seniority based. Tickets are being held in unspecified locations throughout the venues." If 10c stated it would be seniority based I'm sure I still would have bought, however I would have also tried my luck on prime seats for another night too I reckon. I wonder why they can't pre book/ pre purchase front row blocks for club members??

not necessarily, you could have only joined last week and still love and enjoy pearl jam as much as someone who joined in 92. all it means really is that maybe they heard of the band before you, maybe they heard of the fanclub before you, maybe you heard of the band and fanclub before them but never had the money or what ever to join, all it means is they have forked out $25 a year for 15 years, does that make them more of a fan then anyone else??? not in my opinion.

i think promoters/venues like to keep the best seats in the house, for obvious reasons. pearl jam had to fight to get the best seats from coppel in 2003, and he was a real prick about it and only let them have ten club tickets for one show in each city. then they had to fight again in 06 to get ten club tickets to every show. i don't think it mattered too much for the tour with Chugg in 09 as it was G.A anyway.
I think what the 10c meant is that it isn't seniority based like under the normal system. ie: they didn't seem to have a block of tickets from Row 1 to Row 20 like they do with Pearl Jam. They had maybe 10 pairs in each row. It's probably not as clear as it could be though.
Like I've said in previous posts I feel for those who got 25th row, but we were only guaranteed tickets, not the best rows.

yeah, but i was mainly eye rolling at the people who jumped on and ripped everyone who had a gripe and used those words, i know ten club didn't, they said tix were through out the venue, which they have been, but...
they did say it was not seniority based, which clearly seems not to be the case at all.
Karma is good- just got last minute release row 4 for tonight- yay!
Weeee! So happy for you!

It seems that seats are random in the venue but seat allocation isnt random its
based on seniority... so what u need to hope for that there isnt as many ppl with lower
numbers than your number at the show u are attending...
So I would be hoping that at my show everyone that got 10c tickets joined after 2002..
Hey Zig what yr did u join??
Pleased to be going and in the door but Im seriously about getting a small
pr of binoculars in case my seats are far. Will I have a problem getting in with them do
u think? Cos there was no mention if they were banned

Someone else said they took binoculars.
I joined in 2003 I think....I'm 271xxx. What are you?
Yeah, like the 2009 tour where I managed to be front row(ish) three nights in a row!!!
Oh yeah, that's right, we got to the gigs at 6am to get dem spots
Yeah like how in Brisbane ppl sat in the sun for a long time then just b4 the gates opened ppl appeared from nowhere and took their spots at the front of the line... thats a fair system... not!
I'd rather the system for EV shows than that.... thats just my opinion ... Im not having a go at
anyone just my preference...
