    That's very troubling and I'll be very disappointed if 10C ignores this problem for you and others in the same boat.

    7 days since my second email and no reply!  It’s a shame but no major drama from me.  I’ll be going to at least 6 shows in the summer and RAH for TCT in a couple of weeks.  Love the band and the club have always been great.   I guess they made a decision on this to not engage.

    Yep ! Can’t wait for the shows and the single is growing on me!! 
    I think I might not risk 10c seats in future and just go for premium - if they tour again.  Especially if I can’t sell 10c

    I don’t remember, did 10c specifically say seniority matters with seating this tour? Or did we just assume that was the case because it’s been that was for 30 years?

    Yes they did.  Drawing of tickets was random but once drawn, seats assigned based on seniority.

    Wow! How is that possible? That makes no sense. I wish 10c would just go back to handling the lottery themselves. Ever since they handed over the reigns to TM it’s been a disaster. TM just can’t seem to get it right.

    Yes they confirmed in the 10c sale announcement that reserved seats would be assigned by seniority within each price level (P1 or P2). I really hope 10c addresses this for all of you who were affected by it and makes it right.

    There is more than enough to go on in this thread alone for a re-allocation of 10C seats.

    Edit: and no response from 10C on my email either.

    I have a fairly low number as well, not as low as the OP. 

    I’m not defending the 10club and their system of assigning seniority.  I do know it’s worked in the past and I can verify that by experience.  Before I go into that, better seats may be subjective.

    A higher member number may have a closer row than a lower number in the same (P1, P2, etc) but are the higher numbers off to the far left/right of the stage in that row?  Does the lower number member have seats further rows back, but center stage? 

    Which would you prefer?  It’s subjective.

    Being closer to the stage is not always preferable to the best experience.

    As far as the 10club system of assigning seniority.  My best PJ buddy and I have very, very close numbers (coincidence as we did not know each other when we joined the club.)  We have both won fanclub tickets to the same shows and we were directly across from each other, the same row, but different sides of the stage. 

    It’s a logistical nightmare and I’m sure the 10club does the best they can. 

    I’m sorry if some feel cheated, and I get it.  I really do.  However, I don’t think your seats will be reassigned.   Tenclub is not going to respond to even the most polite of inquiries regarding seniority seat assignments.  Assignments have been made.  It’s a done deal.  I hope your anger over this issue does not affect your enjoyment of the shows. 

    Maybe this tidbit will help . . .

    I got shut out in the lottery, didn’t win a chance for any 10club tickets. 

    But my best PJ buddy did and she chose me as her +1 for Philly shows.  We met through this board over 22 years ago.  We live on opposite sides of the country, but this band and the connection made possible by this band, is beyond even the music.  I can’t count the number of shows we’ve attended together, in numerous cities and states and even the magnificent country of Canada. 

    Screw where we are in the building, we’ll be together enjoying the music that brought us together.  And that’s a beautiful thing.  



    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    Stop making excuses for the Ten Club.

    These members tickets are not anywhere near where they should be and it's not just an issue of personal opinion as to what are the best seats in the venue. It is a complete fuck up within the seniority system. They are getting screwed and there is no two ways about it. They have dutifully maintained their memberships for all these years and deserve to be rewarded with the seats that reflect this time and effort. It's disgusting that the Ten Club can not even be bothered to respond to their emails, that is complete bullshit. They are running a business and need to be responding to their customers issues no matter how minor they think it is. So instead of saying oh well thats how it goes maybe find a way to help out some fellow members who are getting the short end of the stick.
    What if this glitch affects them for future lotteries, is that fair? This situation needs to be rectified now. And as far as screw where we are in the building just enjoy the show that is a load of crap.

    It would be nice and actually professional customer service to at least respond to my emails.  Or anyone’s emails.   

    I mean, I’ve been a fan since 1992 and a member of 10c for 21 years.   Like many of us, I’ve seen the band many times (over 45) in over 17 countries and two continents  -  and that’s on me as a customer.  It’s the greatest joy outside my family and friends. 
      I don’t expect much or think I should be thanked  but initially I expected my seats in Manchester to be closer than members who joined 10c  11 years after me.   Or at least somewhere close to where I’ve been sat before - even one block or so back.   But all the way back by 4 blocks???

    I understand it’s subjective and difficult for a band that’s huge.  

    But really.   No reply to my two emails at all.  Sent one week apart.  
      Is that how it is now?   
    If the company I worked for treated our customers like that I’d be ashamed.   
    Even tell me to do one and I have great seats and be grateful for what I got.  
      But just ignoring me?
    This is as bad as when Paul McGuiness stopped managing U2.  Live Nation took them on and that was that.  It’s all rather sad.  

    But as I’ve said, I love this band, I’m excited to see them 6 times in the summer.  But a reply would be nice at least.    As fans we have to buy our tickets blind, can hardly re-sell easily and now the band sell their best seats for an increase of 40% on an already high ticket price.   Wow betide you if you do that though….

    I have a fairly low number as well, not as low as the OP. 

    I’m not defending the 10club and their system of assigning seniority.  I do know it’s worked in the past and I can verify that by experience.  Before I go into that, better seats may be subjective.

    A higher member number may have a closer row than a lower number in the same (P1, P2, etc) but are the higher numbers off to the far left/right of the stage in that row?  Does the lower number member have seats further rows back, but center stage? 

    Which would you prefer?  It’s subjective.

    Being closer to the stage is not always preferable to the best experience.

    As far as the 10club system of assigning seniority.  My best PJ buddy and I have very, very close numbers (coincidence as we did not know each other when we joined the club.)  We have both won fanclub tickets to the same shows and we were directly across from each other, the same row, but different sides of the stage. 

    It’s a logistical nightmare and I’m sure the 10club does the best they can. 

    I’m sorry if some feel cheated, and I get it.  I really do.  However, I don’t think your seats will be reassigned.   Tenclub is not going to respond to even the most polite of inquiries regarding seniority seat assignments.  Assignments have been made.  It’s a done deal.  I hope your anger over this issue does not affect your enjoyment of the shows. 

    Maybe this tidbit will help . . .

    I got shut out in the lottery, didn’t win a chance for any 10club tickets. 

    But my best PJ buddy did and she chose me as her +1 for Philly shows.  We met through this board over 22 years ago.  We live on opposite sides of the country, but this band and the connection made possible by this band, is beyond even the music.  I can’t count the number of shows we’ve attended together, in numerous cities and states and even the magnificent country of Canada. 

    Screw where we are in the building, we’ll be together enjoying the music that brought us together.  And that’s a beautiful thing.  




    I totally get that some of this is subjective, especially in places like Fenway, which has a whole host of other factors. However, OP is on the other side of the soundboard from me in Baltimore. He's a 100xxx I'm a 500xxx. Even if he's in the front row of that section, it makes no sense. Unless they filled one side of the floor first, then the other, but even then... For an arena show, I would expect at the very least it would just be distance from stage (granted, this might not take into account viewing angle) so you'd see a sort of fan pattern, like an amphitheatre.

    All of that said, searching for something else on this forum, I came across posts from 2008 about people with low numbers being assigned "worse" seats than higher numbers (and not part of the "front row" lottery they do for some shows). So... It's not like this is a new issue.

    They messed up the row order in State College 03, at least in my section.  It ended up working out in my favor as I had first row on the side which was actually right on the floor.  There were people with lower numbers who were 10-15 rows back in the same section.  But that’s a one off situation.  Those types of things might happen.  OPs concern (and some others) is that there is a big discrepancy in his location for two separate shows which might indicate there is some kind of glitch tied specifically to his member number.  Like he’s being assigned seats like his number is 500xxx and not 100xxx.  Even if there’s nothing that can be done about it this time, if there is something weird like that happening you would want to get that fixed for any future shows.
