Where is the best explanation of the Premium Seat process?  I’m guessing they are closer to stage in Indy but at what price?  Double?

Ed and the Earthings had $800+ Premium tickets

Truth. I'd also add they were face value at the time of show. At least in my city.

100% agree. The entitlement associated with so many of these posts is really gross. It seems like most people got into the band when they were 15 or 16 and still act like teenagers when things don’t go their way. 

It’s a concert - either you got tickets or you didn’t, and when you enter a lottery you don’t get to pick your seat. It’s part of the game and always has been. Getting a ticket to a show has never been a guaranteed part of the club membership, but so many people on here are acting like it’s their birthright to see this band every time they play. Wish you all could just chill. 

Preach.

Got it. Thanks. There are many who have ‘season tickets’ in Indy. With the season tix, all of the 10c scoring some type of ticket and with premium, I’d guess there will be very few left over for the Verified fan

There will be practically nothing for Verified fans. I'll bet 150-300 tixs TOTAL for each show. If you aren't 75-50 in line your chances will be nill. Just saying.

So, with the dust settling...

Did anyone in Chicago have seats get better?
Did anyone score 100/200 level seats today? 

Yes and yes. I went from having no tixs to having tixs in the 200 level.

Anyone getting Confirmed for Indiana or is that over and done at this point

After reading about how tickets are being handled (I’m on the East Coast and can’t travel), I’m wondering if I should finally let my Ten Club membership finally lapse next week when it’s time to renew. Looks like there are no benefits to seniority any longer.

Most of the people are aren’t complaining about not winning the lottery. It’s the people like 93xxx who has 300 level seats instead of 100 level when some guy who joined in 2015 has great seats who have a legitimate gripe. Your point is taken, but seniority isn’t being taken into account in some cases 

Not to play Devil's advocate, but I think people have a legitimate gripe. One of the tenants of the 10C was that seating assignment is based upon membership. The lottery is one thing, either you get a ticket or you don't, and membership seniority has nothing to do with that selection. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but historically, once you got selected for the lottery, your seats were ostensibly based upon your seniority in the fan club. It's one of the reasons we all continue to pay the membership fee.  For some reason, this tour, that is obviously not the case, and understandably some people are frustrated by that fact.  I don't think 10C intended that seat assignments to be completely random, but there's obviously been some sort of change or error that has not been adequately explained to 10C members. I think the fault lies directly at the feet of TM, but that's just me.

How are you playing devil’s advocate? You’re agreeing with my point

Yeah, they would not like the results if no fan club, all premium pricing, and dealing with the bots.

Looks like reserved Deer Creek is working along seniority just fine.

Yes they literally lay this out as a benefit of being a member and paying your dues.  How some people think that expecting to get what you pay for is crying is beyond me.  I think they have a serious hero worship complex.

I've been following this (and barely working) since Monday. I've gone from bemused, to anxious, to frustrated, to angry, back to bemused.

Half of the folks are ready to burn everything down. The other half are calling people entitled for expecting something.

Honestly, I think this is just the reality now. This is not a small band anymore, nor a band with much sway. They're not The Cure and are only going to tour if they can make $$ off of it. Even Taylor Swift couldn't beat TM (just like PJ couldn't back in '95) so what hope does an aging rock band. (That's not meant derogatorily - this is my favorite band but their sway is just limited now.)

I love these guys. I've been a fan since I was 10 years old (1995) and discovered Ten. They were my first show back in 2000, fan club member in '03, let it lapse and rejoined in '08 and been a member ever since. I've seen them on most tours since then, though it's been spottier in the last few years due to having kids.

Here's my take: Am I happy that I'm in the 300s with a 421XXX number? Nope, especially considering in '09 I was in 112 in the same building. Am I grateful to be able to see them? Yup. Will I walk out of the show with a huge smile on my face, grateful that I was able to have another "religious" experience at a great show? Absolutely. Will I keep shelling out $$ every year to remain in the fan club? Of course. I love this band and support them.

They screwed up here. It was a crap deployment of a crap system. I'm in IT and I know how much it sucks to have something like this blow up in your face - nothing is worse than nothing working as planned and having no way to fix it. But there's little they can do here. They're too big to play clubs, but not big enough to influence the monopolies. And likely unable to get all of the tickets they'd like for their fans. So it is what it is. Sucks, but better than it was. Honestly, I miss the days of sending in my requests by mail, or at least not knowing my seats until the day of. Was always an exciting surprise to have great seats, and even if they were shitty, I was too stoked to be in the building to care much.

Anyone in 316, N1 in Chicago, feel free to stop by row 5 to say hey and drink to this wonderful band. Don't love the process, but glad to be able to drag by 38 year old body out for another show.

Cheers. 

Hopped Up

Reassigned for STP N2 from 103 row 13 to floor row 7 with #195XXX.  Probably about where I was on the floor at Xcel for PJ in 2003.  I'm short so I'd rather be on the side, but it will be great to be in the building on a Saturday night in an arena that sounds great (and where I was lucky to be in the GA in 2014).

I got a response from TM. They said they refunded the order, but obviously, it wont hit my account in time.  This just sucks so bad.
