Fewer shows + more fan club members = harder to get tickets.
That's why people miss out on the lottery. Seniority hasn't ever played a factor in SECURING tickets unless I'm mistaken. Sure, the lottery has it's pitfalls, but I'm happy I don't have to take off work to press F5 all day. I actually took off work to get PJ20 tickets and didn't get through until midnight that night. That was absurd, not the lottery.
I've only been in the fan club 11 years, so my chances of being up front were few and far between until the pit returned. I managed to secure second row for VFC tour in Toledo, but that's because those tickets were sold through Ticketmaster (not 10C) and not based on seniority. Last year, I had GA for Pittsburgh and Vancouver and was close to the front on both occasions. I'm glad I had that opportunity, and it wouldn't have happened without this new system.

Exactly...Maybe a Few More Shows might mean People have a better Chance at Getting a Show.
Look I'm a five digit member 5****, been in the club a really long time. I have NO issue with the new system. If I pick reserved I get great seats, if I go GA I hang out in line with cool people and get close. I'm not being "penalized" because of lottery or GA. Lottery shuts you out sometimes, that sucks, but it's fair. New people get shut out just as often as "old" people. It happens but it's a fair system. No one "deserves" to see PJ more, a fan is a fan.
Seniority still matters a ton in reserve seats and that's a big deal and very gracious of the band to do that. Remember many bands auction the good seats to the highest bidder, PJ has done the opposite. They've gone out of their way to ensure the best seats go to a dedicated fanbase and that's awesome.
Also, tickets isn't the only reason to be in the Club. $40 a year for tickets, exclusive vinyl, bootlegs and a newsletter/merch is a good deal in my opinion. IT's not like the band is reaping a huge profit from member fees given all the stuff we get, it's not like the vinyl, newsletters and member packs are made for free.
Thanks PJ from a (still) happy long time 10 clubber.

That was awesome... brings back some of the memories of those times. 1996 was the worst seats i have ever had from 10club. now it makes sense why!!!
If you think yesterday was rough in 1995 we had to wait months to find out if we got tickets. They sent them in the mail back then. i remember that a few days after I got my tix for NOLA i heard on the radio that the tour was cancelled.... i was devastated :((
I remember calling the 10 Club info line every day to find out when they would be rescheduled. hahaha more stories from grandpa lolo

the first PJ show i went to was in 1995. It was on a high school football field... they had the whole field general admission. I was stone sober... It was about 100 degrees, they had no water for us at the front. it was so crowded sometimes your feet were off the ground... and it was one of the best experiences of my life. after all the rescheduling... it was as close to a religious experience i have ever had.

Truth. Seniority matters a lot. You can go Reserved and still have awesome seats. With less seniority, you can basically guarantee a show, but your seats are not going to be very good.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

If there was no lotto then their would not be as much incentive to join the fan club because new members would never get tickets. I joined a year ago to have a chance at getting 10 club tickets, if there was no lotto I would have no chance getting tickets so I wouldn't have joined. It's all about capitalism and trying to attract new fan club members (customers), this club is a huge money making machine and you wouldn't want to alienate new customers. I won Cincinnati GA tickets and so did a friend the odds of winning did not seem that bad.

Not true at all. Seniority didn't have anything to do with actually getting the tickets in the F5 system. Anyone in the club could purchase them as long as they were still available.

Here is what I'm talking about. Is this guy WAY off, or do I not understand? He thinks high numbers eliminated him from the tickets, is this true?

100 Pacer was willing to trade his seniority for a chance to travel in time. Maybe Mayday's machine works, maybe it doesn't.
Lol I'd totally trade my number for a time machine. Then I'd go back to 1991 and sign up for a membership then beqeath it to myself, and have kick ass tickets between 2000 and 2011

You might also bring along Future Days or Skipping and checkout young Eddie's "WTF happened to me" response.

I hope everyone in front of my number leaves, that'd be excellent, I don't like GA too much and guaranteed great seats are always a plus

People who won the lottery today love the system thus who lost don't. My issue is the fact that I won Charlottesville last Oct and I think Ten Club f*ed up seating. I was on the side of the stage, last row in the 100's. Member # 162xxx. If I'm going to actually win the lottery and drive 7 hours I'd like to think I'd be put in the right spot.

Actually, this is an example of getting moved back a bit due to GA and seniority taking a hit. A possible solution is that seniority begins at first stage side section, row 1, ends at row 20. It continues in the second section stage side to row 20. It then continues back to first side section, and begins at row 21, and so on. I actually don't think it's worth the effort of Ten Club to do this unless it was someone's part time job which was full time between lottery results and the show (stuffing envelopes). This would be a real pain in the ass and the person would also need to understand the dynamics of the arena as well because newer arenas are much steeper than "older" arenas. Is it really worth it? No.
An excellent read. Thank you so much for posting. I think that confirms that seniority has always counted in a big way until now. There is a sgnifcant eifference in what seniority offers now. It's only the secondary benefit of better reserved seats IF you win the randon drawing for tickets in the first place. And I think the bigger complaint of senior memvers like me isnt so much that we are not getting the best seats any more but that we are getting completely shut out of shows.
Open the GA to random draw for all Ten Club members. Both award and assign the seat locations by seniority to those members who select Reserved Seating as their first choice. Best of both worlds. Newcomers have equal footing to senior members for the best pit seats. Senior members who give up their chance at the best seats by forgoing the GA random draw still get a major benefit of being loyal for all those years.

Ten Club made its first foray into ticketing with a PJ show at New York’s CBGB on November 8, 1991. We’re not sure just how fan club members were contacted, how much the show cost, or who was invited, but because of CBGB’s tiny capacity (200 approx) and New York’s high density of press and record company folks, it’s unlikely that more than fifty lucky Ten Club fans got a pair of tickets. To put that in perspective, just remember that while “Alive” was on the radio, Ten hadn’t quite hit yet and if the number of fan club singles pressed that year are any indication, there were less than 1,500 members worldwide at that time. Further subdividing meant that probably only a small fraction of these fans of a new, west-coast band lived in New York.
