Relax son. I'm just bitter because being in the tenclub used to mean something. It was the greatest thing in the world. We used to get two seats to ANY SHOW we wanted. It has devolved into this sad lottery system which gives no advantage to someone like me who has been a member for 20 years over someone who joined yesterday. Who knows how much longer the band is going to play. It just sucks. And it forces me to have to deal with ticketmaster, which makes me want to set fire to the whole planet.
No one cares how long you've been a member. Stop bitching. The band is bigger than life right now. What do you expect?
I don't understand what you guys don't get. He sent in a postcard earlier than I did, so even though we both have been listening to this band for 20 years he is entitled to get the best seats, for face value, to any show he ever wants, forever while anyone that didn't should fight for scraps or be forced to pay secondary market prices forever.
It's pretty simple to understand. Jeez louise.
'I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine.'
well, that certainly is not the answer... but if they need to mail out the tickets in NY ahead of time, I expect some sort of policy changes to adjust.
This is terrible. It's convenient for me since I work on Mondays and can't get to MSG until right before showtime, so I got them shipped. But this is awful for the future. Now brokers know they can join the tenclub for New York tickets. Can we start some type of petition to only allow up to a certain tenclub member number to be allowed in the lotteries for MSG? I will volunteer to take a newer tenclub member with me to a show if it means brokers don't have access to the lottery. This was the one scalper-free zone in my life! &%@#!$!
So are you proposing someone like me possibly wouldn't be eligible for the lottery since I only joined 10c recently?
Yes. Sorry. But yes.
How do you propose to put your system in place so that people like me, who pay the same annual membership as you, get access to the tickets that you plan to voluntarily share with 'new' 10c members?
-In your plan, when the older members sign-up for the show will there be a new feature in the lottery to voluntarily designate a ticket to a new member like me?
-And when new 10c members can't sign-up for the actual show lottery, will we at least be able to show our interest to go with an older member like you?
I am really interested in understanding how all this is going to work.

Get over it, "son". And you do have an advantage: Your seats are better than someone who joined after you if you win.
