I want to send out yet another Thank You to the 10 club for giving me AMAZING seats at PJ20 night 2. I have been a huge fan of this band since Ten was released...why i didn't join the fan club till a few years ago I don't know, but my number is 430XXX. So needless to say my tickets are usually waaaaaay in the back, which is fine with me, I am always happy just to be in the building!
In 2009 for Chicago night 1 I was delighted to win 9th row in the lottery and thought it would be a once in a lifetime thing....well I opened my tix for PJ20 this weekend and found I got FRONT ROW for night 2!! It was a truly unbelievable experience that my Fiance and I will NEVER forget! I have been to hundreds of concerts and this goes down as the best one yet, easily!
So, THANK YOU ten club for the lottery chances that you give people, it really is a great thing...it gives people that are just as big of fans as the Senior members a chance that they would never get otherwise to get up close with this amazing band.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

    Glad some people win more than once, when some of us haven't ever won... and I've had a LOT of 10C tickets.

    I have been a fanclub members for years and seen tons of shows and NEVER won.....sucks huge, I wish the first 5 rows were lottery, something like that or else have a limit on number of times u can win so we all can experience our fave band from the same perspective...just once!!!

    Cut him a break and be happy for him. This thread should not be used to complain that "I didn't win, so its not fair".

    Congrats to the OP! I won the lotto once before too and it is a great feeling. I'm sure you had a great time and best of luck next time!

    Cheers!
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    Congrats on winning. awesome!!!! :clap::clap::clap::clap:

    as for the bitching.... yawn yawn yawn. go home please. :silent:

    Thank you to the people that can be adult about it and say "congrats for winning"....For the others that seem pissed, it doesn't surprise me much. I am sure someone will crucify me for saying this but I have figured out that alot of the members with low numbers seem to have a huge sense of entitlement in this fan club. I heard plenty of grumblings from people in the 3rd row sunday about how they should be closer, or how their number is 35xxx and they only got third row, etc...it almost made me feel bad for winning and sitting in front of them...then I got to thinking about it and I didn't care! These people have low enough numbers to pull 3rd row based on seniority at a show as big as this..you KNOW they are sitting just as close at every other show...and they are COMPLAINING about it!! Talk about spoiled. Oh well, I had alot of fun and a great experience and I hope that those of you who weren't childish in your responses win the lottery next time, as for the rest...Karma is a wheel.

    Hence the term "lottery".

    If you actually read my post, you would see it's not bitching. You could have taken it as "wow you are really lucky", but that wouldn't give you a reason to bitch. Regardless of the intent of my post, What's really "classic" is the people who show up to bitch about people that they assume are bitching. You could have added something at least semi related to the topic, but you just bitched. That's freaking hilarious. Do you just read threads looking for something to complain about?

    The lottery is only a few years old, and by virtue of the term 'lottery', the odds of winning are a bit low!

    I've never won either and I'm not complaining or anything either, I understand what you're saying. But I never win anything anywhere, Vegas always gets the best of me. I'm just not a lucky person, never have been, that's just the way it is for some. I always pick the wrong teams to win in sports etc., my friends call me the oracle as a goof. Some people are just unlucky when it comes to situations of chance.

    I didn't win the lottery, but my pavilion seats were pretty good, considering my number is only average. Also, just wanted to say the Ten Club did an awesome job with most every aspect under its control in putting on these shows. Lots of cool amenities for club members at the shows that were nice to have.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do
