I scored some tickets to the toronto show but my tickets are not available yet. I was wondering if anyone has info on the reserved seats they got from the 10C presale? Should I be trying to get tickets on Friday just in case I get terrible seats through 10C? Hopefully all this is fixed by scoring GA :D 

Thanks!

    The worst 10C seats are generally better than the best TM seats.

    Some exceptions for side stage seats and single tix, but it is unlikely that you will score a better pair.

    It depends on your seniority. I am 4xx,xxx and was able to get better pairs for Seattle Home Shows via TM.

    Your ten club seats are probably better than you can get today, but that's not for sure. I wouldn't bother unless for some reason you need more than 2 seats together. Remember, you cant stubhub extra tickets. You would need to use that fan to fan program that starts next month to sell off any extras.

    This is not true anymore. SOME of the best seats will be 10C, but the trade off of them getting nearly double the amount of tickets for 10C is that they are spread out further and further. 

    Plenty of members with 400xxx numbers were in the very top sections of the Home and Away shows.

    There WILL be seats offered during Verified Fan and the general sale that will be better than SOME 10C seats. This is the trade off of getting more seats for the fan club.

    It’s possible you could get floor reserved behind GA which are sometimes terrible if you are short. I prefer first few rows side stage to even GA. But yeah, the stadium shows were all over.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm member # 495xxx, and my Wrigley seats in 2018 were significantly better than in 2016, despite them garnering more seats and potentially pushing us all back. Maybe you're referring to Seattle, Missoula or Fenway though? I dont think any 400xxx member had upper level seats at Wrigley.

    That said, the reason I said not for sure to him was. I got a verified code in 2018, and played around with it since I was home and curious. I could of scored 4 tickets like 3 or 4 rows off the field, which were quite a bit better than what ten club gave me. Of course, I passed on buying them since I had seats.

    I would go with 10C seats before TM.  I'm 172xxx and have had good seats but also ended up in sections where I am scratching my head asking how I ended up sitting with people with much higher numbers.  I'ts not a flawless system by any means.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    This is just my opinion after decades of dealing with TicketMaster and Next for PJ and others (I knew of the fan club in the late 90s, but I didn't realize you could get tickets through them until after the 2000 tour, and even then, I only maintained my membership through one tour) - my seats might suck with my 540xxx number, and I *might* be able to get better tickets in VF or the public sale, but the perk of the lottery is that I don't have to deal with the stress of buying through TicketMaster. Of course, with years of buying public sale tickets, I'm used to sitting in the nosebleeds/crappiest seats in the house, so I'm definitely in the "happy to be in the building camp".

    So, you have to ask yourself: is the possibility that your seats might be a little bit better worth the stress of trying to deal with a public sale on TicketMaster?

    500xxx number and I’ve really only been somewhat disappointed with my TC seats one time, Chicago 2016 night 1. I only use VF in cases where I need a couple of additional tickets for my boys.

    Really depends on your number.  But I remember meeting an online buddy in Hartford back in 2010. He had used fanclub tix and I had bought from TM.  I had better seats than he did.  His number was in the mid 300's I think. He was pretty annoyed.

    I don't even want to think about this haha.  I'm buying tickets for a friend via presale today and I'd be kinda pissed if my 10C tickets weren't as good.

    Remember, what makes a "good" seat is subjective.

    You have seats two sections closer but I have a clearer view of the entire stage - who has the better seats?

    After seeing what's available for presale at MSG, I'm no longer concerned lol

    400xxx is middling at this point. Not even in the latter 50%. I was 3 rows away from being on the field at Fenway.

    Definitely not true anymore. As stated in the announcement, in order to obtain more tickets they had to include some that are far back. In the stadium tour this included some in the nose bleeds with obstructed views.
    But it all depends on your seniority. I've never had seats worth complaining about, but newer members might be unimpressed with their seats this tour.

    Thank you all for the input. Really do appreciate it. I’m still hopeful I might end up with GA but we’ll have to see. I might(but not likely)try to see what’s available through TM on Friday but I’ll probably just stick with my 10C tickets. 

    Did all you folks already get your tickets allocated to you?
