    Well with premium in play all those great seats close to the stage are now going to the folks who are willing to pay higher prices or wait till they drop those prices closer to show date! Me being a senior member with a super low # got me the worst seats I’ve had to any PJ show with the lottery for MSG this past September! So to me it only makes sense to try for GA if I want to get close or just pass on these shows which I’m doing, seniority has lost its value IMHO 
    It's not "all those great seats close to the stage." It's some of them. All of my Ten Club seats last year were great seats, and there were other Ten Club members next to me at every show.
    The only show I did was MSG I won reserved but the location of my seats was not what I expected in the past before platinum with my # if I scored reserved seats I’d be in the very 1st box of the stage either side this past September I had section 110 and I felt disconnected from the show it just wasn’t my scene like in the old days and I wasn’t surrounded by 10C members but rather all the corporate folks who just got off work and were more interested in their phones than the show.

    Unfortunately, 90 percent of people with smartphones seem to be more interested in their phones than whatever else it is they're doing: seeing a show, driving, talking to the people sitting across from them at a restaurant. I don't think Pearl Jam fan-club members are immune to this disease (except for me, but that's only because I don't have a smartphone).

    If you let it lapse you get a new number 
    Yup. Freaking 1998 man. I was so mad at myself I didn't rejoin for a while.   I don't even think I HAD a number back then.   I've read thru my old newsletters in recent years and never found a #.   Guess I'm better off not knowing what I lost.
    They used to print your number on the mailing label next to or under your name and address. It's probably 6 digits, between 150,000 - 200,000.  I'm 94/95 and 128xxx.

    Section 110 in MSG is literally on the side of the stage, Stone side. That wasn't close enough?

    I have had the pleasure of seeing a show with Jose in the past. The best seats I ever had for Pearl Jam. The 10C seats for such a low number are farther back, even if they are still good seats. Let's call it what it is. 10C members not getting the best seats so TM can sell them for more. All three front sections on either side of the band were not included in the MSG 10C sales. Maybe in a small market you get better seats, but here in the northeast they have been pushed back.
