Worst 10 Club Seats You've Ever Gotten?

WHIPSON

KC in 2010, 30th row main floor. #400xxx

Didn't see any of it, more or less because of my 5'7" height.

Number is over 446,000 (joined in 2008), wish I would have joined when I started following the band in 2000.

In any case, I've had decent luck:
- front row balcony at the PPAC in Providence which is a small theatre (Ed solo show)
- Won GA for Wrigley 2013 and GA for Worcester #1 2013

I won Reserved Seats for Wrigley #2 this summer. Can't lie...I'm getting nervous after seeing the picture of our friend sitting right behind the pole! Ha

I wouldn't worry about it. There was a reserved upper bowl option in '13. My guess is that's what those are. I'm 456XXX and I was in 106 in '13.

I'm 423000 and I was in 104 in 2013. I was out in the open and not under cover so no poles.

466xxx joined in 2011 - not bad

Seattle Sept 21, 2009 .... 10C tickets, way up and way back on the 2nd level at Key Arena. Pffffffffffffft.

Was that normal for you? I'm thinking you suffered from the glitch!

Not normal. Number is 283xxx. What do you mean by 'the glitch'?

At the 2nd Seattle show in '09 the ten club made a mistake and accidentally put a chunk of tickets further back than they were supposed to (which also inadvertantly bumped up a bunch of other people).

I had never heard about this before. It explains the really bad 10c seats. Thanks!

Member number 197xxx and the worst seats I've gotten were for Cincinnati 2006 and Chicago night 1 2009, both of which were around 30-40 rows back on the floor of an arena. Pretty much no view of the stage at all over the heads of the crowd in front of me.

For context, here's a rundown of the other seats I've gotten from 10c over the years:

In Tampa 2000 I was 10th row. I did five shows in 2003 and had between 7th row and 12th row for for the first four and then was about 25 rows back for the 5th, which was Atlanta on a Saturday. Those ATL seats were fine, though, because it was an amphitheater with sloped seating so I still had a great view. In addition to Cincy in 2006, I also did Washington and had awesome seats in the wings on Mike's side. In 2008, I did Columbia, SC with great wing seats on Mikes side and Virginia Beach, where I was about 25 rows back in a sloped amphitheater with a great view. In 2009, I did both nights of Chicago. Horrible seats on night 1 and then great wing seats on Stone's side night 2.

I haven't had 10c tickets since then, but I do have reserved seats for Greenville coming up and am very curious to see where I net out.

I'm so glad 10c now is able to get the wings as "best seats in the house" rather than the back of the floor.

What do you mean when you say "the wings"? Lower bowl? The outer section of floor seats? Have you observed this 10c change recently? Just curious

I think he means on the incline of the lower bowl with distance from stage priority. It provides an unobstructed view. I sat with a buddy's good # tickets in Baltimore and we were about 20 rows back Mike side. View was unreal

Regarding the Baltimore show you mentioned, seats were in the 100s section?

I also don't think most people gain seniority. Once the seat allocation thing was announced on the Binaural tour the attrition rate (people not renewing) really slowed down. They started to allow for multiple shows and you were a few rows further back. The announced the row 1/2/9/10 lottery, it was 4 more rows further back. I think it's why the seniority thing went partially bust. In 2000 if you'd been in the club for 9 years you were probably in the first two rows. In 2009 if you were in the fan club for 9 years you were probably in the back half of the floor. There's no way you would ever gain seniority and get to the front. It kind of went static (or further back with the aforementioned rules). Maybe you'd gain a little bit if you were a member after Binaural but you could only gain so much because anyone with a remotely decent amount of seniority would renew.

If I remember right they started the row lottery because the same people were in the first few rows at every show.....and when that happens people get less excited about being there and it makes for a lame environment. I think the mix up was well over due. I get seniority but seriously, spread the love around.

Eddie show in Hartford 2011 175XXX and i was kind of high up in the balcony.
Wasn't terrible, but definitely the worst 10C seats I have been given.

I think all of his solo shows were random not seniority. We both put in for the show in Milwaukee. My number was 219xxx and got around row 18-20.......my wife's number was 250xxx and she got 3rd row dead center.

Detroit Rock City

Night 1 in Detroit 2003. 35 rows back on Mike's side. They made up for it 3 nights later in Toronto when I got 8th row center. Before this show I was generally around the 5th-15th row with 10 Club seats.

I'll let you guys know where my seats are for Fenway, they will def be bad unless I get lucky and win the lottery. I lost with my ten club for night 2, but my fiancé won and I had her join this year like 2 months before the tour was announced.

For sure, earlier in the tour I got second row. Its all good, but those seats were the farthest the 10c has ever put me.
