Senior Members Can You Please Stop The Whining?

Just curious...were the people who are complaining shut out for just the large market shows (i.e. NYC, Philly, Toronto, etc.) or both large and small market shows?

I bet most of the people who got shut out had MSG and Philly GA's with their top 4 picks and then other GA's as well. Yeah you have the right to be upset if you didn't land anything, but if you aligned your choices in a manner that was extremely risky (to the point of not even being practical/possible) then you should revise your allocation strategy instead of lashing out about seniority.

Pearl Jam clearly isn't as popular among the younger generation.

as a part of that younger generation (turning 16 in a couple of days) I can say that I have a lot of friends who like Pearl Jam (none of them as much as me though). I don't think people give us enough credit, I think people only hear bad things about us and really nothing positive about us.

When you start a new job do you start at the highest pay rate? No. Do you start at the maximum vacation time? No. Do you have to work weekends because you're the low man/woman on the totem pole? Yes.

This is how seniority works in the real world and should work in the 10 Club. End of story.

This isn't a job. LOL!

It has never worked that way even before the lottery. The "longest tenured members" get the best seats out of the people that won reserved seats through the lottery.

I didn't get a dang thing and I've been a member since '98.

Maybe it would have helped if I entered for some shows.

But still, I'm a senior and demand respect!

I've been a member for more than 20 years and I want all you f'ing kids to GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN

Thank you! Considering that the so-called 'senior members' are ages 40, 50 and above - this crybaby post is pretty hilarious. Would you walk into your job and tell the people that are old enough to be your parent that you should be making their salary?

I was getting ready to be a cranky old git and your GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN gave me the chuckle I needed to catch my breath, thanks for that.

NOW BACK TO YOU WHINY KIDS!!!

This seniority entitlement thinking shit has to end.
Find another way into the building.

Imagine the 10c like a nightclub that you want to get into.

You are in line outside.

The members who joined in the '90s and early 2000s are already inside.

Do you wait in line like everyone else or do you "Find another way into the building." ?

Fully aware of how it always worked, thanks. I'm just offering my opinion on how I think it should work. No one has to agree or disagree, I don't really give a fuck. Just offering my opinion.

So someone who loves PJ but is maybe around 20yrs old should have less of a chance at 10c tickets than me just because I joined when they were 5yrs old?

If you don't deserve tickets more than anyone else then why should the lottery be weighted in your favor? You absolutely are saying that you deserve tickets more than anyone else.
