Value of an old 10C Member Number

JesseMcK

Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Is there already a black market for 10C profiles with low numbers? It wouldn't be that hard to transfer the account to someone.

THEORETICALLY (don't yell at me mods) how much would a number in the 100,000s fetch?

Worthless at this point considering that they have reserved seats as high as the 200’s where previously 10C used to get the best seats in the house and while both P1 and P2 were group together. 

It’s really a big fuck you to its members who have a low number.

you have a better chance on getting better seats F2F while saving the yearly Membership. 

If I didn’t have such a low number I wouldn’t pay for a membership.

I’ll try my luck on F2F

150000 sounding off. I get killer seats close to the stage every time since 1998. Though I don’t put in for more than 1 show when I can go. Worth maintaining my membership every year.

27552 here it’s literally worthless unless seating is involved and even then with premium tickets we’ve been pushed back/aside! This lottery was only the 2nd time I’ve scored tickets the other time was 2020 Baltimore that got cancelled and I put in for Baltimore this time but didn’t get picked!

163000. I'll give up that number when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

89XXX here.  My seats are typically very good.

139,xxx no problem with seat locations even if they’ve been pushed back from GA and premium. Second row in ‘98 and ‘00 was fun!

198XXX here. My seats in Austin 2023 were considerably worse than prior tours and I had to upgrade through fan to fan. Not looking to ditch the number, but surprising nonetheless.

By the way, thanks for finding a new way to make me feel old :P

How much you want for it?

I sat next to a lady at the first St. Paul show last year with a fan club number like 50xxx. We sat first section next to the stage row 6, she said she usually had the 2nd or 3rd row in our section before premiums. She wasn’t mad about it, she just pointed it out and said if I can get 6th row for every show as tickets get more expensive and they play less, it’s worth the membership. She was on the money.
My number is 340xxx from 2004, and I went to 6 of the 8 shows last year without using the tickets I won. Before 2020, my number would get me 3rd closest lower bowl section next to the stage and that’s great for the big demand shows. Truth be told, it wasn’t because of F2F from 2020-2024, it was more because of the community here and then using F2F to send the tickets. That’s how it’s always been in 10c, looking out for familiar names and faces. The last time I used my own tickets was GA for MSG 2022.

Just went into my profile and doesn't look like you can change your name so good luck with this gambit

It would be impossible to transfer the number. Especially if this all about tickets. The Ticketmaster account is matched to the Pearl Jam Member account.  So unless the person wants to relinquish both and you want to pretend to have their name at your address for both it is a worthless venture.

There has definitely been a bit of a meh in the recent years with tickets being set back, further and ticketmaster not really having a great idea of how things should allocate.  Say you have sections 100 and 102 on stage right Stone side.  100 being directly stage side 102 being the next section over.  The seats would  be better allocated by number across the rows of those two sections vs bottom to top and then starting over.  Basically you could have a number like 135,xxx and be in row D of 100, I have a number 141,xxx and in row S of 100, then somebody with 150,xxx can have row B in 102.  It is somewhat splitting hairs, but it is not allocated in the best fashion.

198xxx here. My seats have always been decent. Wouldn't say great. But I've also only used it on shows in Boston and NY so it's hard to judge really.  Just happy to be in the building.

I don't have quite as low a number as most who have chimed in but I've been an uninterrupted member for 20 years. It definitely seems like the value has diminished since after 2018 or so. My seats had been relatively constant up to that point even though I had always hoped they would get better. They've taken some definite steps back since that point. I'm typically happy with the seats, but I just expected that after 20 years my seniority would have given me some improvement in location. That hasn't happened. I've never had GA or been chosen for those special rows before GA. I often didn't want to gamble on GA and miss the show entirely when there was a priority system.

I don't believe your 10c account is inseverably linked to only one TM account

109xxx - ask the 1998 version of my number and you get a different answer. Generally, if you get reserved seats in the wings, they are still very good, but they do get further away each tour and no sign of going the other way.

LOL...I can't believe you think 10C would let you sell your account to someone

Didn't you go to Fenway in 2018?

I'm 207xxx, I had some amazing seats with this number (Cincy in 06), but I've also been pushed almost back to the lawn with this number, so it's a crapshoot really. But I will keep paying the member dues, because I want to keep my number.
