Oo i love the complaint ranking ... my favorite is when people complain about "out of towners" hogging all the tickets to their "local" show ... and when people suggest people with local zip codes should have higher priority for tickets.
Either that or when someone complains they didn't get tickets to their super high demand show (i.e. MSG or Wrigley 13) but other people got multiple lower demand shows and that somehow isn't fair.
Question, what is considered a low Fan Club account number these days? Like below 100000? 200000?
I have # 210xxx and for the cancelled Vegas show my seats were on the first row of the reserved seats on the floor directly behind the pit.
00 - Atlanta 10 - MSG I&II 03 - Birmingham, Atlanta 22 - L̶a̶s̶ ̶V̶e̶g̶a̶s̶, Camden, Nashville 04 - Asheville, Kissimmee 23 - Ft Worth II 08 - Tampa, Columbia 24 - Philadelphia I&II, Baltimore 09 - Atlanta I&II (EV) " if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.
169,000 and joined in March of 1998. I was listening to Yield when I joined.
Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
141,XXX joined in 1995 while in college around the Vitalogy release? The first ten club tickets were for the No Code tour...man, I wish I would have held on to those tickets...they were pretty.
That said, I'm not sure if seniority is truly followed in assigning tickets. For Nashville, we were about 20 rows up Stone's side, but a buddy who just joined in 2020 got tickets 10 rows lower in the same section. I'm not a complainer and I've had front row and last row on the lawn and all concert experiences are unique and amazing.
Just a cautionary tale, but also a reminder to just enjoy the shows and not stress about the priority or seniority. I remember the days when they would lottery the first and tenth rows for fairness. It was cool sitting behind some younger fans who had won the front-row lottery and were having the time of their lives.
I'm 425xxx and joined about 4 years later than I wanted to. Boy-oh-boy do I wish I had the wherewithal to have made a few clicks and spent my money on the membership instead of a case of beer.
About 80% of us joined later than we wanted to. Welcome to the club, and don't worry about seniority now - you'll still have better seats than if you tried via public on sale, and I can assure you that you won't worry about it when the band walks on stage

1) Your username and icon are great. 2) Your seating assignments for Nashville are definitely peculiar. 3) It was actually rows 1, 2, 9 and 10...which they still did at Fenway Park due to those shows not having GA.

This is my first lottery. I signed up and got confirmation and everything but I just happed to look at my tickets in the drop down box and it says I haven’t entered in any drawings. Is this normal?

Thanks.
Yes, it was peculiar, but I also know that Nashville ended up being a destination show with it being in Nashville and a weekend show...so, I also expect more demand for this smaller tour. I only put in for Indy because it's the only show that remotely fits my schedule and close enough to travel minimally for it. Kids...they do alter your touring plans until they are old enough to tour travel with you.
That's right, I knew it was some random sort like that. We were third row at Deer Creek that tour after being front row the previous tour and not a bit of bitterness was to be had...I will say that unlike many other acts, the love of the PJ family is real and contagious.

That’s for Europe and the old NA lotto. Ticketmaster runs this one and will email you your tickets to claim

Eh, good point. It'd make more sense if those #4 were swapped, but the point remains that there were people who didn't know why they lost 1-4 while others won all four or more. Most of the multi-losers probably put too many eggs in the Philly/NY basket.

Just messing around. I fully expect groups of people making claims like you said especially with Chicago in the mix and others making false priority claims.
i I consider any number below 100k low! I don’t get how folks let their numbers expire once I realized what my number meant and what seats it gave me if I was lucky to score it was the most important renewal I had to keep up. member since 93 have never let it lapsed 27k

Interesting, I have club tix from 98 for St. Louis. Maybe, I could have joined as late as 98(obviously I'm old and I've had brain surgery), but I did get center stage less than 20 rows back. 198,400 to be exact. Great show. Truly loved the lady signing the show.

The most generous aspect of the seniority system was assigning a membership number during initial contact (placing a 10C mail order or sending in a fan letter) and using the number as a placeholder until the membership was activated (at which time privileges activated as well).
To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

Def and if you bought TEN cd on the back of it had info address if you wanted any info on band! That’s exactly what I did I wrote them a letter asking them for any info they could give me on the band, sure enough I got letter in 94 with info on how to get tickets to the secret show at the paramount in NY needless to say I was sold for life😁
Like so many others, I let my membership lapse. Signed up originally in 99 or 00 with membership of 191xxx (or something like that). Membership lapsed during/post divorce in 07. I was a mess there for a little while. Renewed again in 08 or 09. A brief moment in weakness and now at 427xxx

It's a tough pill to swallow. I let all my fan clubs expire in the early 2000s when I needed more beer money. Oops. One of life's countless bad decisions.
