Had a 15 minute phone call with an Eventim employee. Someone who grew up with Pearl Jam! And who is unhappy that culture is getting more and more expensive. Oh man, the story gets better and better. What appears on the Eventim site for the two Pearl Jam concerts as a seating plan graphic is, according to him, specified by Live Nation / Ticketmaster and communicated to Eventim.

I bet my ass on it. Ticketmaster simply removed or had the marking removed after the complaints.

The Gorge as an example, tons of the side seats in the lower sections 101 and 103 are way outside the walls of the stage.  LN/TM used to list tons of these as limited view; they no longer do.  Here's an example of a seat you can buy for DMB for $500+:

This looks hideous but I don’t think it’s representative of Waldbuhne.  At least based on the Waldbuhne photos that have been posted it will not be anywhere near as bad as this.

Some of the seats in A1 and E2 are likely to be behind the line of where the rail will be.
These are about the equivalent of block D2 at Waldbuhne, and wouldn't be too bad at all.

What are your 10C numbers? If you have a high number do not be surprised you received less than good seats. It has gotten worse each tour.

It would help to know people's 10C numbers seating in these sections.
Is the obstruction the speakers hanging over the stage? In my experience that would not be something considered "obstructed" from a ticketing perspective.  

I think the concrete walls could impact on the angle for many, along with the speakers. Some parts of E2 (left of this pic nearest the hedge) are quite likely to be very restricted once speakers are in and flight cases etc. stacked. 

It's a beautiful venue, the reasons for its existence much less so. 

What do you mean? I'm too lazy to google it.

Thanks for the response. Kind of what I figured.

I’m just thinking they totally swept the issue under the rug by changing the Eventim display and now nobody’s talking about it any more.  It’s such a sad state of affairs.

I am also at a loss as to how to proceed in this matter? I am aware that there is not much that can be done. But even if there is still a little that can be done, I'm happy to do it.

So I guess we will just remind them of this issue in the upcoming weeks.

Might be a good idea to add the link to the other thread to your first post/the first page, as there is some more insight on what the venue looks like https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/301104/berlin-10c-reserved-seat-assignment-good-or-bad/p1

Updated my first post.

The saddest thing about the whole thing is that even Ticketmaster has kept in touch on a fairly regular basis. On the other hand, I never got a response from Ten Club about this story.

It seems any word from 10c is a thing of the past also.

And we are surprised about that because …. ?

JABK

I remember a time not so many years ago when 10C answered fairly quickly to any e-mail...but as I said before it's probably difficult and embarrassing to admit yours or others mistakes...

axeljohan

Well, they mostly react quickly on some issues. But if they don’t want to react, they just don’t and sit it out. 

Let’s hope that as little as possible seats will be view-obstructed and the concerts will be great.

This is shady for sure!  I’m curious though how people know there seat assignments?  I’ve only had my confirmation emails but those don’t show the seats and the tickets do not show up yet in my TM account.

The seat details are in the confirmation email. It also says that another email will be sent at the beginning of March with details on how to access the tickets...
