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.
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.
Out of curiosity, buddy requested noblesville priority one ga/res. Does anyone know of another member with that ranking getting nothing? More than 3000ish people got selected over him? Did the 20 something all have priority one?
Yes, my friend had IND GA/Reserved and Reserved as her #1 priority and got nothing. It wasn’t an entry or credit card issue because she did get her 2nd and 3rd shows. TM fucked this up royally.
That sucks. I got Indy with my 2nd priority, picking the same way. That shouldn't have happened if some with 1st priorities didnt get tickets.
it's the name (your name) they pick or is not picked. I got my 1st and 3rd choice, both CHI. Indy was my 2nd priority. I think there was higher/same demand for Indy but less seats available.

I've also been a WH member for 20+ years, and the seats you got for PJ are exactly where DMB has been sticking me for Deer Creek the last 8 years or so. Whereas before, I used to always get lowers. So, if you're still getting A, B, C thru the WH, without paying for premium, consider yourself lucky.
But I totally understand where you're coming from with that seat assignment. That's exactly why I stopped ordering thru the WH. These days, I always get better seats thru TM presales.
@aisleseats I guess I should've mentioned I only request tickets for Saturday (seniority night), and it's been a while since I've "won" the Tier 1 reserved lottery. I've either won the PIT lottery or got Tier 2/3 assigned (mostly Sections E/G) and went after better seats.
Do you think I'll be able to see the entire stage? Never been that far over...

Is anybody else’s Ticketmaster email with their tickets having an error message when trying to open them up?
Is anyone still having this problem with the error "400 - Bad Request"? The only device I have available is my phone. I have restarted my phone, and a few things like that, to make it more efficient. So far nothing has worked. I sent a message to TM, but you know how that goes. I did get an email response saying they received it, and someone will get back to me within 24-48 hours. I figured I would likely get an answer here more quickly!
Does not work for me either. Mac or phone. I have no idea if my terrible seats were upgraded. Cannot get my seats.
I got the email to claim my ticket. I followed the instructions and got a
screen with the ticketmaster logo at top left and otherwise it is a
blank screen. I tried to claim again and get the same screen plus this
message: "
TapException with errorCode '20000' with backend error code 0x0b010000"
The show is not appearing in my "upcoming events" in my ticketmaster account.
I saw another post about clearing one's browser cache. That was it, it worked and I now have claimed my tickets.
for the record and topic of the thread, my one and only show choice was Chicago Night 2 with GA/Reserved as #1 Priority, and I won GA.

I've honestly never kept the seats they gave me over there. But I have used those same seats (3-4 in from the outer aisle) toward the back of Sec C before, and they were partially obstructed (couldn't see Roi). But hopefully you're far enough back that that won't be the case for you.
I know a lot of people are upset with their seating re-assignment for Chicago 1, however, I'm not one of those. I'm now in Section 219, which is a vast improvement from Section109, (1st assignment) and Section 216 2nd assignment. I love the 200 level in the UC and this will be my 1st time seeing them from up there! Especially, right over the stage. It's going to be an epic show and I can't wait to see everyone again!!

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 not 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

I’ve never sold tickets on Ticketmaster before, after you fill out their tax form, how long until you can post a ticket for sale? Shocker, but the Ticketmaster customer service has been non existent. Thanks

You can post tickets for sale even before you fill out the tax info. You just won't get paid for the sale until after you do.
When I get to the final step of trying to sell the ticket, their website won’t let me click on “Submit Listing”. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

I was lucky enough to buy 2 Tenclub tickets for Chicago 2 off of another member on Facebook. They are in sec 114 in 16th row. I was shocked when she said she got them from the 10 club sale and has been in the fan club for only 3 years.

Hmmmm this doesn’t sound right unless they (PJ) believe side stage lower bowl is worse than the 300’s straight on.

Those are considered side/rear stage. They were a 3rd option in the 10c lottery for Chicago. Not sure how many people entered for those. I did not.

I did and got tickets for both shows behind the stage. Through F2F and a limited TM ticket drop I got seats even with the front of the stage.

That’s right! No wonder everyone was confused! I didn’t put in for them either.
Hey. Should I get upset that I have sec 125, row 15 for FW1 as a 149xxx member. I am kinda upset, but the question is should I be!
No. I’m 126 row 19 for FW 1. 135,xxx
I'm 126 row17 for FW1, and 125 row15 FW2. 136,xxx. So it seems pretty consistant with your tix. I do think 7-10 rows closer sounds more in line with past lottery draws for our range of member #s, though.
15 years later, the same venue I only moved 4 rows down. Bummer

BBQ- anyone going to the Forth Worth that likes bbq should take a drive over to Dallas and visit Sonny Byran’s.. only 2 of them and the original is a tiny place… world renowned, .they’ve shutdown the road so presidents could eat there.. been there since 1910… tons of articles on the place
If you're going to be in Fort Worth skip Sonny's because it doesn't hold a candle to what Fort Worth has to offer. Heims, Hurtados and Panther City to name a few right near the arena. You can also venture 15 minutes out of town and hit the #1 BBQ place in Texas, Goldees, but prepare for long lines there. Can't miss with any of the 4 listed. Original Heims is better than their second location.
While in the area I hit sonny’s and Heim’s so far. You couldn’t be more right about sonny’s. The building was disgusting. Other than the bread, the food just wasn’t good. Heim’s completely blew Sonny’s away, and other than the bacon burnt ends, it’s fairly average BBQ.

Goldees was incredible; that line was inane though!
