We drove past the building, saw the line, and went to the brewery. Came back right as doors opened, went up to our section. Almost no line. Was able to get everything.

I complained trust me but no one could help or would. For the 23 Chicago shows they were in the upper deck. Than they did the re-draw and I was 3 rows back behind the pit for both shows. Those are worse than every other seat I have ever gotten.
I haven't been to a show in like twelve, thirteen years. Is 219xxx likely to get good seats now?
Seem to remember having good seats for the last show I went to but not as good as previous tours.
Yes
No. I’m 93xxx and my seats in LasVegas were in the lower bowl other side of the arena.
I am 179xx and was top of second section side of stage for both Vegas shows.
This is exactly why I'm selling anything other than GA tix from 10C. They charge exorbitant prices to their most loyal fans and reward them with some of the worst seats in the house. The disappointing truth is that the band seems to be OK with this happening.

I'm a Concert Ticket Optimizer but don't underestimate the number of people who aren't. They just want to secure their tickets, don't stress where they're sitting too much, and not think about it again until the show. While I'm on the same page as you regarding where I'll sit for an arena show, the reality is we're outliers.

Sorry I wasn't clear plus I left out an X in my number. I am 179xxx and I got top of section 8 for Vegas2 (second closest side section to Mike) and first row of the floor behind the pit for Vegas1. I consider these pretty good tickets for my number and significantly better than your tickets despite your much better number.

I get some of the complaining on this, but I'm just not sure it reflects what happens to most of us. I have a 679,xxx number, have gotten tickets for every show I've requested since 2018 and have been on the lower level (once on the floor) with good sightlines every time but three, and all three of those I was actually on the club level with probably even better sightlines. I went to six shows last year, just to show it hasn't gotten tons worse.
If you have a high number and go the GA/RES route be warned. Some of these shows you will not be able to sell your tickets if you upgrade or can not go. Raleigh having two shows for example. Maybe I am wrong.
What does "high number" refer to? And why would you not be able to sell those tickets?
Recent US tours resulted in fan club members stuck with their "bad" tickets, as you could only sell thru Fan-2-Fan and at the original price. Low demand shows had lots of tickets go unsold.
This has not been my experience the last 2 tours, but I am sure it has happened. Both times, I posted my seats which were average they sold within about 10 mins. Again, I am sure it can happen, but this has not been my experience. Fingers crossed. SN: Not being able to drop your ticket price, so they can get into a PJ fans hands is ridic.
I know it's not common knowledge, but what is a "high number" these days? I'm at about 10 years so I know my number is high, but I know a lot of people have dropped off over the years so it's really hard to evaluate. I've gotten decent tickets and bad. I also haven't sat in my allocated seat the past 4-5 tours and have upgraded via F2F but I absolutely hate playing the game so I almost always just put in for seats.
Maybe someone who just joined can tell us the first 4 digits of their number so we can get an idea of what they are up to now.
I joined in September - first four is 7632
My daughter signed up last December and she's a 747xxx. Interesting to see that there were 16k +/- more sign ups in those 9 months.
That is wild. I'm in the 600s and I joined almost 10 years ago.
I signed up about 3-4 years ago and I am 735xxx. I have gotten GA/Pit and average seats. Nothing "bad" thus far, but if I go I prefer and will work to get to the Pit.

And if all 10C tickets are in P1, then you should not be sitting next to anyone who paid less on Ticketmaster for a similar ticket. I think that is what some have written in here. You could argue that you prefer a higher bowl P2 ticket closer to stage vs. a lower bowl P1 further back from the stage, but you should not be sitting next to someone who paid less like I've heard people imply (unless they bought for dirt cheap on secondary market).
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on....

It would be tough without going back and seeing what people actually paid, but I would imagine most of the cheaper tickets did end up on secondary markets. I think one issue some people had is they couldn't sell their tickets for less when they needed to get rid of them, because that is what the secondary market at the time was bearing.
That said, I do think even that was rare. I sold two singles to each Chicago show because I ended up going by myself -- I know, Chicago, but they were singles and some secondary market stuff was dropping -- just a week before the shows and they both sold within the hour of me posting them.
It is nice that you can sell or transfer now, I think in most cases, but 10C should let you sell them for less if needed.

It would also be nice if you could transfer once and to a 10C member. If i'm lucky enough to snag GA, I would love to switch with someone with a low number and better seat than I could get.

There are apparently 750+K 10C members. It looks like many of you are entering for a pair of tickets to several shows. Some of you every show. That's gotta be a lot of logistics to handle for a hell of a lot of people looking for the personal optimum and maximum of every possible show scenario. It's literally impossible for all of us to receive front row seats for every show.
Sure, I too would love for the band to work the phones and proactively call me and ask me where I want to sit first and then offer me to join them backstage for drinks so they can all thank me for my support over the years. But in reality, I'm just happy for another chance to be in a space with everyone hearing some great tunes.

There’s far from 750,000+ ACTIVE 10C members! There are plenty of people who have let their memberships lapse over the years, including me. I was originally a member back in 2000, then after a few years of them not coming to Michigan, i dropped it. Rejoined a few years ago now, so have a very high number and my original much lower number has been dormant for 15 years or so.
That said, your point is well taken, it is still a larger fan club than most bands have, and a lot of people travel for their shows-mostly out of necessity since they don’t tour much. They could probably easily sell out these shows as 10C only, but they’d be missing out on the PJ Premium boost that helps them pay for the tours/curfew violation fines.

I am 179xxx and was top of second section side of stage lower bowl for both Vegas shows so something sounds off with your number/tickets.
