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

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.

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.

I really think we should stop using the stadium shows (especially Fenway) as a gauge for arena shows.

10C tickets won’t be in the nosebleed sections or behind the stage. The maps were clearly highlighted with potential sections.

I am a 400,xxx number, for the Ft Lauderdale show my seats were lower bowl a few sections from the stage.  Not bad, for the Miami show I was further away and I can tell I was mixed in with ticketmaster people.  So it is hit or miss depending on the venue.

This happened to me in 2003. Buddy had a higher number, was closer to the stage, but on the side, while I had a more straight-on, but farther back, view.

I joined 10C in Jan 2018...670xxx...won tix to Aug 2018 Missoula show, Grizz Stadium, smallish college football stadium....I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised how good the seats were...2 sections back from stage, 6 rows off the field....I estimated our seats to be at least 70% better than most

I’m a 400 too and was at those shows. My FtL tix were on the floor behind GA and my Miami were first section side stage lower level.  I immediately gave my floor seats away to folks we were with and used their lower bowl tix from TM as mine, I hate those seats behind GA

I would say any reserved ticket for TC is much better than the garbage TM had for today's "verified fan bullshit palooza". MSG only had seats behind the stage so if you won reserved tickets for that show you are one lucky son of a b.

I'm 251XXX joined between Binaural and Riot Act closer in time to the latter.  I've had mixed but usually good results.  Irvine 2003, I couldn't believe how far back I was.  Stadium, close to 1/2 way back.  As far back as soundboard.  But center and I had a great view.  San Diego 2003, row-T, 2/3rds of the way back on the floor.  I'm 5'10" and I could only see the band's heads in-between people in front of me.  I might as well have been in my car.  But then, it got better over time.  There was a lot of dialog back then about sides vs. floor.  After that, (Avocado, Backspacer, Lightning Bolt), it has been up the side, Stone's side and not too far away.  That was a big dialog and 10c really and thankfully took it to heart and made a change.  Up-the-sides was so much better for me. 
I also think that now, there are probably a lot of holes in-between 1 and 251XXX.  People move on, lapse, whatever.  That effectively should move me closer. 
Also, with GA, that is a mixed bag.  The bad part is I'll never be in the 1st few rows of reserved seating because that's now GA.  But if I can't muscle up to the front, then the aforementioned "can't see because I'm not tall" thing happens again.  And the older you get, the more frequently you have to pee.  So in GA, doing so loses your spot.  The good thing about GA is that my up-the-side spot may get closer because they're able to cram a lot of 10C members into that small GA space leaving fewer 10c members who need to be allocated to reserved seating.  I'm hoping for the best which would be up the sides, not too far back, not too high.

I wish we had a choice or we could say the general area that we'd like. I'm honestly just thankful I was selected with my Ten club this time and I'm grateful to be going to at least one show, in Denver. I picked reserved seats. My number is the 171xxx range.

bazzer

I didn't try for 10C tickets, but the locations will be available soon, right? I'm really excited to find out where I might have gotten tickets if I had been lucky enough to win. Will my number be better/worse than I imagine? I'm sure there'll be a thread detailing seats people got.

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 agree.  I got floor in 2003 and saw nothing.  Since, I tend to get sides, which are far better.  I am 238xxx and I’m thinking I’ll be on the floor because those will be considered good.

10 club is generally better. However I scored a floor single seat through TM to temple of the dog at msg.

i would go 10C because it is always better to be with people that are jazzed about the show. My Greenville 2016 experience in the nosebleeds with casual fans was a bit annoying. Couldn’t believe they weren’t freaking out about Vs. in order.

Totally feel the latter half of what you're saying. Had such a subpar experience in MSG Ticketmaster seats in 2016, I probably won't ever go there again unless I have 10C seats. And I wouldn't generally consider myself a seat snob. Have never been on the floor for Pearl Jam.

My member # is 535XXX. My 10C tix were floor seats in Ottawa in 2016. Was lucky enough to be able to find a trade with a tall fella because my wife is short. Judging by how they are doing the tix this time it will be harder to trade. Praying for no floor seats again.

At Irvine in 2003 they used a block seating system so the earlier you picked up your fan club tickets the better the seats that you got in your membership number block. I was able to get front row.

I remember block seating.  2003 was the first "as many shows as you want" tour, prior was 1 show per tour.  So this was the big experiment.  I remember when the 1st show of the tour hit.  This forum exploded when the word got out about block seating.  So I got there mid-day and stood there and got the best seats in my block.  But my 251XXX was maybe one year old, and closest to the high.  So I got the best seats of the worst block.  The band was very popular and Irvine was the "LA" show so I was shocked to see how far back I was.  A couple of memories:  One was hearing In-Hiding being soundchecked, but they didn't play it at the show, the other was the Cluster-F parking.  Exiting the lot.  Get this- I live 50 miles from Irvine, 130 miles from San Diego.  Both shows ended at the same time.  I got home from both shows at the same time.  Exiting the Irvine parking lot was the equivalent of driving 80 miles.  It almost took every positive from the total experience (vs. staying home).  My Irvine show was the 1st night.

Mine have been OK.  In PHX where demand wasn’t terribly strong I am hoping for closer on the sides.

In my experience, it has been a mixed bag.

2006 in Cincy, I was row 20 on the floor...best seats I ever had. The next tour when I saw them in Indy, I was in the back of the seats right in front of the lawn...it was odd to be that far back after the great seats the time before, but at least I got to see them.
