I’d email the 10c.  No way they don’t make this right.

I did, look at this response. I replied to ask them to look into my member number, no further response...

I really hope they have a nice lot of tickets set aside in order to fix blunders like this.  I'm honestly baffled how they can admit to the original error, but miss this on the redo!  They need to make this right!

People aren't perfect, I can understand them making one mistake when handling thousands of seating assignments. The canned response is coming from some low level customer service employee that has no power to do anything, so can't blame them either. I hope that this gets to someone that can do something, but that might be a long shot at this point.

Thanks for the $30+ in fees, I guess.

Ok well I just received the same exact canned email as everyone else.  Since I sent my question to the club not even two hours ago, it leads me to believe they aren’t even reading our emails - just copying and pasting the same answer.  

I am not going to belabor the point with them anymore cause I WAS  lucky enough to get tix for both Austin shows and I’m in a great section.  I had my years when I was damn spoiled cause my member number always got me in the second or third row on the floor. So I have to remember to count my blessings.

Welcome to customer service. They're probably getting hundreds (thousands?) of emails complaining about their seats. I don't envy the people who need to respond to them.

sorry if this has been covered but anyone get an email to claim their GA seats? My friend got the email to claim reserved but nothing for claiming my GA?

Got mine early last night. 

Thanks everyone. Guess what, I did have the email. I asked my wife yesterday to keep an eye out and she said no email. I checked myself this morning and guess what? haha, all good now!

I have to add my ticket issue here too. My member number is in the 72,000s so I normally receive the first section next to the stage row a or B because of that low number. So when I got that normal section, but one night was Row G and another was Row J. I was a bit upset (cause I’m spoiled) but I was happy I did receive tickets for two shows. When we got the email saying that the seat assignments were incorrect and not done by seniority I was thrilled. However, when I received my updated ticket assignments yesterday - for one show the seat assignments did not change at ALL and for the second show, the row did not9 change only the seat numbers did.  Just wanted to let others know that they’re not alone with this. I did email 10 club but I’m sure they’ve been inundated with these problems. I will keep you guys posted on what I hear back from them.

What shows?

I got seats for both Austin shows - they were the only shows I put  in for. This is the first time I’ve ever gotten seats for both shows I requested since this lottery ticket style started.  But again - all the lottery tix I’ve won in the past several years have put me in the first two rows of the first section next to the stage. So this is a first. It’s especially fishy since the tickets, for my one show didn’t change it ALL after we were told that our seats weren’t handed out correctly, seniority wise the first time around.  

I also have a 72xxx number. Since 2013 when they started g.a., but before platinum seating, I have had seats in the 1st row through the 12th row of the first section past the stage. 75% of the time on Stones side.
 Some cities I'm sure the difference was due to demand. In others its was due to some sort of venue VIP or membership thing.
This year for Austin I started with row H one night and row J the other. I'm not going to go into detail but I ended up with 106 row J for both Austin shows. N1 I have a pair and N2 a single.

I think those seats are in line with your 10c number especially considering that most of the seats in front of you in that section are probably premium tickets.

I'm not complaining though I wish they had left me on Mike's side.
We will know eventually if and when they shot up on TM for platinum sales.

Your tickets sound right. My number is close to yours and that's where I'd expect to sit in this format. Lower loge close to the stage a few rows up. Different world with GA.

I'm curious how many folks were entirely shut out of any shows.

I went 6 for 6 (AUS, CHI, FW), so I sure hope not.

I think this sh*t gets a little real if people got tickets they can't unload on F2F. Otherwise, just a time waste and annoyance.

You were shut out of all 6?

No, I got tickets to all 6. Seats are good in FW, very mediocre in Austin, terrible in Chicago.

Got it. What’s your 10C number and where are your Austin seats?

508XXX
CHI1 - 305 R7
CHI2 - 301 R13 (Sadly, I had row 1 in the first allotment)
FW1 - 122 R9 (no complaints on these. Nice seats)
FW2 - 110 R16
AUS1 - 206 Row D (These seats might be good)
AUS 2 - 112 Row U

Nice I am 500x and N1 Austin have 209 row A and N2 Austin 114 row T.  Similar spots as you. Seems like more lower number members are attending N1 assuming lower bowl is “better”. Enjoy the shows!

Harrycat

I’m in 209 row A too!

Hi Jose - my member number is 72,xxx. From reading all these posts I’ve decided that my seat assignments must be correct. Just really strange because this is the first time since the GA change that my seats haven’t been in row A or B in the first section by the stage. I’m in Row G and Row J in that section for the two Austin shows - one night on Stone’s side and one night on Mike’s, which is nice. I it guess it IS because PJ have been allotted more tix from TM than in the past so that pushes us all up a row or two.  But believe you me I will be asking those in the rows below me what their member number is. (Although I do that every show anyhow, cause I’m nosy).  ;-)

dottles

It’s strange, with five digit 10C numbers it’s like ticketmaster assumed it should be six digits and added a 0. 

The locations of those five digit numbers, are they  similar to six digit numbers that start with the same so 58xxx and 58x,xxx

I have to say, I’m pleased in Europe for the last tour we kept the lottery and ticket collection on the day. I have a feeling next tour over here will be as badly organised as this one. See peeps in Austin.

Does that 73% increase in sales from 2022 not include all the postponed shows?
Many of us paid for shows in 2020 that we didn’t see until 2022. So I would imagine 2022 numbers were way down and maybe they’re just back to normal?

The rows below you probably won’t be 10C members, most likely premium seat purchasers.

I would say, 1. I'm their #1 fan. See those people up on the upper deck? Their #s are the same as mine. They are #1 fans of the band. We are here to see the best live band on earth! Enjoy the show.

I'm  trying to remember my seat locations for the arena shows since 2013. From the list below you see that even with a low 72XXX number the seats are all over.

2013
Baltimore 12 rows up from stage
Charlottesville 7 rows up
OKC 1st row

2014
Tulsa 2nd row
Lincoln 1st row
Denver 2nd row

2016
FTL 2nd row
Miami 10th row
Tampa 5th row

2021 
StL 8th row

2022
Austin 1/2 9th row

There's an easy way to see how platinum seats have impacted our seat locations: Indiana.

As opposed to all other shows on this tour, the seats project from the stage in a more straight forward manner. There's much less room for argument about which seats are actually best. Start closest to the stage, and move backward. Whereas, in an arena you could argue that floor seats are best, or that seats on the sides are best. You could argue that balcony seats are better than lower level seats if the balcony section is closer to the stage. Noblesville simplifies the matter. Start front and work back. 

Take membership numbers into consideration, and divide the seats into quarters or thirds. There will always be variables and unknowns, but I think it paints a picture.

Start closest to the stage, and move backward. Whereas, in an arena you could argue that floor seats are best, or that seats on the sides are best. You could argue that balcony seats are better than lower level seats if the balcony section is closer to the stage. Noblesville simplifies the matter. Start front and work back. 

Take membership numbers into consideration, and divide the seats into quarters or thirds. There will always be variables and unknowns, but I think it paints a picture.

Not an accurate representation due to smaller sample size: only 7,000 reserved seats with up to 10% allocated for Premium leaves 6,300 reserved seats up for grabs in a lottery where you have how many tens of thousands entering?

Thank you for the comment @100 Pacer I've been sitting here fuming since Friday:

(Indy Priority 1, only show requested)

First draw - Sec H, Row S, Seats 15&16

Second draw - Sec H, Row W, Seats 46&47...about as far right as you can get

532XXX

I knew with my high number I wasn't going to get A/B/C or even F for that matter...so I felt good about the first draw. But now, more than likely, I won't be able to see Stone or Boom. I've seen DMB there several times in A/B/C but have been in their FC for 20+ years. Your comment just reiterated the fact that I should be happy I got anything at all.

I’d email the 10c.  No way they don’t make this right.

I did, look at this response. I replied to ask them to look into my member number, no further response...

Who defines which seats are the "best"? It's all subjective. Think of the VIP section at some festivals. VIP bleachers are about a mile from the stage and supposedly have "premium sightlines", whereas standard tickets have free access to the areas closer to the stage. If 10C decided that the best seats are farther away because it's a nice view of the whole stage and the sound is better than being up close, then a 200-section seat in Austin for a senior member is indeed an "accurate seniority-based seating assignment."
