Would tickets be located in your Ticketmaster account?  (Serious question)

They're under the "Gutted" tab once you click "My Tickets"

why are people bugging about where they are sitting?  if you won ten club tickets you got tickets for face value which is amazing. look at the stub hub prices for MSG.  I was shut out of MSG.  If you don't like your MSG ten club ticket I will gladly take it.  I don't care if it's in the last row of a partial viewing row in section 1000

Not being curious about where your seats might be is...weird.

Part of me misses finding out the day of the show. Standing in line and opening that envelope to see where my tickets were. I still remember picking up my Ed solo tickets one year and finding out I scored 2nd row, I just stood there staring and shaking.

For the Home Shows, it wasn’t my standard Ticketmaster account. It was a ten club/Ticketmaster account where I used my 10C credentials to go in and download them. My guess would be this process again.

I believe so. I'm checking My Tickets regularly; I would bet that they show up there before you get an email about it.

I agree with this only now I'm pissed off about my seat location for 2 months before the show and not 2 hours.

It's going to be a long week so I was thinking I'd pre-answer several of the common complaints that we'll be seeing pop up (each with its own dedicated thread I'm sure). We can just bookmark this and refer back to it rather than typing these things out dozens of times.

1. Other people have started getting their notifications and I haven't yet. Take it easy. Make a cup of tea, read a book, take a walk. The shows are two months away; you'll be okay.

2. I got shut out of my GA-only request and I see people who requested Best Available getting pit tickets. This has been addressed several times over the last two weeks. It was a lottery, and picking "GA Only" did not provide you with better chances than "Best Available" - in fact it was much worse, as both options gave you identical chances to get drawn for the pit, with GA-only not having the fallback of potentially getting seats.

3. I got reserved seats and people with lower numbers got GA. Based on our common understanding* of how the lottery worked, seniority did not affect whether you got tickets at all, or whether you got GA or reserved, but only the location of the reserved seats once they had been fully drawn.

4. My seats are worse than they were for previous tours. This one was addressed directly in the initial communications from the club. It is apparent that the Ten Club was able to get far more tickets for the lottery on this tour than on previous ones, and the crucial thing to understand is that that means there are more winners with a lower number than you. 

5. Someone with a higher number than me got better seats than I did for a different show. Some of these shows had higher demand in the lottery than others. It is very likely that there are fewer member tickets being awarded for, say, OKC than for MSG, and so it stands to reason that the worst fan club seats in OKC will be better than the worst ones in the Garden. If you have a problem with this, try putting in for the lower-demand shows in the future and (as this 506xxx member can tell you from experience) you will enjoy better seats.

6. Someone with a higher number than me got better seats than I did for the same show. No they didn't. Unless and until we start confirming that this is happening a lot, you should assume that one or both of you is wrong.

7. Better seats than mine are showing up on the resale market. There can be several reasons for this, including but not limited to (a) the scalper has a Ten Club account and entered the lottery for the purpose of reselling, (b) the scalper doesn't have the tickets yet and is speculating and (c) there were actually some seats available in the VF and general sales that were better than some of the 10C tickets. None of this means that TM or the club messed up or that you have been treated unfairly.

6. I only got one ticket when I thought I was getting two. You fucked up your entry. (We haven't heard this one yet I don't think, but I'm calling it now - there will be people who selected "1" [as in, "I know Ten Club tickets are sold in pairs, so I'll take one pair please"] for the number of tickets in their original entry, and who will only find out that they got a single when the seat location rolls in).

7. Miscellaneous complaints I haven't thought of. Be happy you're in the building.

Your typing is gorgeous. 

Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up.  One more thing I realized after doing the Stadium shows is that if your first pick is reserved then those tickets are allocated (seniority based).  Then the next batch is selected for your #2 pick.  If you get reserved, you're in that second batch so immediately worse seats than a #1pick

This is the way I understood it for the Stadium tour.  Can we confirm this?

Not how I understand it. But not a bad idea, factor in seniority and pick #. Probably an extra step that they wont want to do, and having a pretty good # I'm okay with the way it is. But I wouldn't complain if all #1 picks had  a better seat than my #2.

Too each their own. I'm happy to be in the building too, but I still want to know where my seats are.

Beer is too expensive. My wife and I already planned on taking the train in so we can have a 24 oz can in each hand. We keep things classy.

I'm in for 2 shows,  Don't care where I'm at. Didn't have to stress public sales, and have always been happy with where 10C has put me.

Stop being a cheap ass and get her a 40 oz for each hand.

I have to pee already

mace1229

In order to drink 80 oz of beer I would need a bag of something salty, like pretzels. Otherwise I just can do it.
I refuse to be that guy with 2 40s and a bag of pretzels on the train. I draw the line at pretzels.
