well, if you end up in row one or two, you will be two rows farther back than usual. If you usually end up in row 10 or so, you will be four rows farther back than usual.

Not a big deal and I like the way the 10c came up with a compromise.

Of course, we all have a shot at front row, so you never know.

and....we agree!


i think it's a beautiful thing, for everyone! even those *used to* always being in those rows usually b/c now you are going to have a LOT of new people up there sharing that energy and excitement with you ~ win-win!





btw jose - a lot of those *newbies* were born WAY before 1998.....try 30 years before that, so yea.......everyone needs to share the love! i also don't think anyone is getting *screwed* b/c i have never felt anyone is "entitled" to get such seats, they/you just got "accustomed" to them. it was never promised, so yes, again...it's all about sharing the love!




*edit - and....

A few rows difference is not significant. The people who would have gotten 9 or 10 could have been 13 or 14 anyway, depending on the number of 10C tickets sold, venue, etc. The amount of joy that they will be giving to the people who randomly get 1, 2, 9 and 10 will vastly outweighs the amount of inconvenience for those who would otherwise have been in those rows. You're just moving back a couple rows.

I think it's a GREAT idea.

fantastic post!

I think it just got a little ridiculous that the front row was comprised of the same people *at every single show*. I don't think pure seniority matter much back in the days when you could only get fan club tickets to one show, but now that you've got people going to every show on the tour, it's just the same exact people in the same spots. I think it's cool to do this lottery, especially for the front two rows. it's still the same really, but now there's some added excitement. and hey, you could end up in row 1 instead of row 10. I bet we wouldn't see you complaining in that case...

I hate the new system. Some people think it's great because it gives everyone a fair crack at the first two rows, which it does. However, The chances of getting picked are around 2%. That's bullshit. That means means everyone on the floor gets pushed back 4 rows, and 2% of the fans get better than usual seats. It also means I have a 98% chance of having a worst seat then normal. On the floor those few rows matter more than you think.

In all fairness, if you didn't join back in the day, you shouldn't sit up front. Sorry if you weren't around yet...I'm a huge baseball fan, should I have the same chance at a front row seat as a guy who's had season tickets since the 1950's? I wasn't born until the 70's or maybe I just wasn't a fan yet. He's the guy that's been showing up for decades and forking over the ever climbing ticket prices from year after year. Just like me and the other long time members have been touring around the world supporting the guys.

I know they don't want us to bitch about it, but apparentlly all the bitching before got them to change to this system. So now we should just grin and bear it? How is that fair?

I just hope when I'm pushed back 4 rows - usually 18th to 20th row the last few tours - that they put me in the wings and not 4 rows further back on the floor.

yes. the wings are always better if u are not in the first 5 rows of the floor!!!!!

AND....I really hate that commonly spewed misconception that the first two rows were the same people at every show.

The people who say that have CLEARLY not been to that many shows nor do they know a lot of people with low #'s (many of whom go to a show or two per tour) or they would know that was a bunch of crap. Oh well.

You started it, Jose!!

Meanwhile, about the folks who were BORN the same year as Pearl Jam, and thus did not sign up for the Ten Club until years later... how is that fair to them that they generally end up with worse seats than those who were born earlier? Believe me, as an 18 year old, I think us young fans are far more disadvantaged even with this great opportunity than you old fans who get to sit 9th or 10th row generally, and this time may have to sit 12th and 13th. That's my opinion. I can see that it would feel frustrating though... being downgraded in any scenario is no fun.

you could always wait for us oldies to die off. i figure i've got at least another 30 years, hopefully more if stem cell research progresses.
