Ten Club's only public comment today was to have Sea repost a twelve hour old webpage update. Nothing else.
By yesterday afternoon it was clear that there were problems with at least some of the shows. At that point, to my mind they had two options:
1. Stop everything, recall all the tickets confirms that had gone out to that point, refund everyone’s money, fix whatever the issues are, and start over. This would have taken at least several days (especially to get the refunds done), and required them to push back the VF and public on-sales. Obviously they would have had to issue some kind of communications about what was going on.
2. Recall the duplicate Austin 1 tickets, but otherwise just power through and get the tickets out, knowing that (at the very least) seats hadn’t been assigned properly. Apologize later while noting that, while mistakes were regrettably made, an overwhelming number of members got tickets for the shows they requested, and promise to do better in the future.
Clearly they chose door #2.
I think they actually went with door #3. Similar to door #2, but rather than powering through and apologizing later, they instead cancelled seat assignments, charged many members a second time, and still didn't get seniority right. All the while saying nothing.
I was looking on the Ticketmaster F2F FAQ section trying to find out if you have to wait until after the show takes place to get paid for tickets sold through F2F and it said:
“We’ll deposit your payout typically within 5-7 business days after your tickets are sold. If your tickets sell by barcode, we'll deposit your payout typically within 5-7 business days after the event takes place.”
does anyone know what they mean by “if your tickets sell by barcode” and if the PJ tickets would be in that category?

Innocent question…what is so bad about center floor seats behind the pit? Wish I could find a few earlier posts to quote, but they are here.
No elevation and there a ton of people in front of you. Otherwise they are fine. If you are tall it's a good spot.
I’d rather be anywhere in 100/200 levels than on the floor behind the pit. Very hard to see, uncomfortable, etc. Just my opinion
this
Hard disagree. If you’re not in GA and have an assigned seat these are the absolute best seats in any house.
Lemme guess...You're not short. I'm 5'9". My wife is 5'2". I'd rather have just about any seat in the house other than the back of the floor. Can't see shit back there.
Not Yet, been my lame entertainment the past 2 nights.... for some crazy thought in my head... I think we are headed for some more chaos... like another reassignment...
Don't be surprised if we all show up and someone else is sitting in our seats.

Better than side stage, elevated? No way
I’d gladly trade my Chi 1 200 level pair for anywhere on the floor, even 100 level opposite the stage. Tall people advantages and stuff, prefer straight on views.

We've sat on the 2nd row of the floor twice and hated it... I'm 6"0 and my wife hated it even more, she's 5'4"...

Reading the last few pages. Lots of complaints about the cost. Anyone who thinks $160 is ridiculous for upper seats doesn’t follow ticket prices. Any artist who can sell out arenas will easily charge that much. And face value for lower tier seats are double that.
Even bands like GooGoo Dolls charge $75 a ticket. To think you can get into a PJ show for that price is funny.
Got 4 Cure Tix sec 302 row 2 on Ticketmaster for $50 per. Then a per ticket refund from Robert Smith. Fuck inflation. It’s bullshit and unwarranted. Keep hemorrhaging money if you want.
That’s cool the cure are charging that. But look at almost any other band that sells out arenas. Most are charging over $100 for cheap seats and much more for floor level. No one brought up inflation. That’s just what bands are charging.
It’s not inflation, it’s what we’re willing to pay. So that’s what they charge.

If this was Chi2 you’d have a deal. Have Sec 2, Row 9 to trade for any pair in the wings 100 or 200 level.
Wife and I got put in for the same shows. Same choices. She has a “worse” number than I do. She got better seats on both St. Paul shows. And that being said, those are the worst tickets ever we have ever received. But, how does she score better with a lower seniority? Also, did anybody “improve “ or did Ticketmaster create more “premium tickets?” Because the people I talk to, they de-proved and have a really good number. So great number get bad seats, bad numbers get bad seats, and ok numbers get back of the venue.” Also, check this box, and if you dot. Trust what we are saying check both boxes. And to those that say “it said check all the boxes…”, how can half the people interpret that wrong. 10c, I thought you had it down after all these years. Gimme my 3x5 postcard back.

Been on the road most of the afternoon to pick up a puppy. Was shut out day 1 from StP 1 and 2 which were my only choices. I did get emails today confirming seats for both.
Downgrade from StP 2014, but I'm glad to be in the building. May try to upgrade the floor tickets as I had something similar in Denver 2022 and could hardly see the stage (I'm not tall).

CC charged twice on the 25th confirmed for both shows in STP - GA and reserved. then the reassignment email came got the new one confirmation email with new reserved seats checked CC and card charged that third time on 26th No refund from 25th reserved (yet?)
Anyone manage to not get any tickets by now? Seems like everyone got at least one show at this rate.
None for me. Had put in GA or RES for both Chicago shows. Not sure what skunked me - the problem with the GA or RES selection (ie not choosing RES only too), or just bad lottery luck (or a combo of both for that matter). But in the end, I am all good. I will work the fan 2fan and pick up some tickets to another city and just travel there instead.

I've been away for the last 8hrs, so not sure what I've missed. But given that I've received no email stating otherwise, I assume I'm still stuck with my super crappy Austin seats?
