how much does this matter? i know it was significant in years past, but does it really still matter as much in terms of tenclub seats???

    Yes all except rows 1 and 2 and 9 and 10 which are now lottery rows. Everyone has an equal shot however at actually purchasing tickets during a presale. The presales actually favor the younger members now because of their quick "F5" fingers.

    well, yes row 1,2 and 9, 10 are nice if you get them. so far for me all it has done is put me 4 rows back! Been a member since like 97 and my seats have not gotten much better in all that time. Wouldn't give up my 10c number for the world tho. Always get that feeling in the pit of my belly when I go to get my tickets...where will my seats be???
    Here's hoping I win the lottery in WI!!!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    I actually hit lottery seats in Hartford 2008 and was in row ten. It moved me back from where I usually am lucky enough to have seats. :)

    I am in the 310-range and my seats are normally very good minus MSG shows. I also notice an improvement/upgrade from year to year.

    where have you seen them? just curious now 'cause i'm 218xxx and have never been closer than side stage (always pretty far back on the floor) but i usually only see them in the philly area (and the seats get slightly better each tour).

    Hoping so. We really need to meet up for a beer. I think you and I are doing Winnipeg, Sask, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver together....

    I am actually hoping I don't hit the lottery in Saskatoon based on the 15 row rule. Still can't believe ticketmaster had those seats online the next day.... and a few days after apparently... I'll gladly take the jackpot in any other city as 425xxx won't be too favourable.

    Rumor around here is your lotto chances go up when they are playing in your state. Not sure how much truth there is to it.

    My num is in the 400 as well got my first 10c seats for EV in St Louis and actually had better seats then some long time members. Wondering if they gave me decent seats since it was my first purchase through them.
    My butt itches!

    me too, I'm 172xxx and row 16 is the best I have ever done. Once in Philly, and once in DC. Otherwise at MSG I'm on the sides in and Hartford I'm in the back of first section.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    I am from Columbus, Ohio and I have been to San Diego, Cincy, Cleveland, Chicago to see them and not a once was I closer than 12 row. Columbus I had pretty good side stage seats but they were side stage. In San Diego, on my birthday, I had 30 rows back, but ended up getting backstage and got to meet MIke, Matt & Jeff!!

    When they did full tours (and before the lotto row bs) my 109xxx would get me front two rows in smaller markets, and rows 4-7 in larger markets. In 2010, I was on row 3 and asked a girl on row 2 when she joined the fan club, and she said when I heard the album, and I said which one, and she said Backspacer...what a slap in the face!

    The lottery rows are a slap in the face?
