Mines 191XXX, and at any of the bigger city shows I've been too I wouldn't say I had Great seats, so I could see why SS would say something like this.
Of course I'm making an assumption that you guys have had similar seats to what I've had.
I've had good seats, but not great. Going back another 5 rows is not going to make a damn bit of difference for me... Once you're about 10 rows out anyway, the only variable is how tall the dude in front of you on the floor is and how fat your neighbor is. I'd just as soon be on the side as be on the floor... unless I've got a shot at front row or so.
i'll just be happy when they announce the tour!!!
but, i'd rather be up front. my number isn't terrible & it always gets me good seats in TX.
i think the lottery is a cool idea. they should keep it going.

Yup, pretty much where I've been, and I agree with you.
Although I was able to get 5th row if Fargo But thats because no one was there! And they did tickets slightly different then.
With a 162,xxx # I'm fine with how they did it on the last tour, the 1st and 2nd rows, and 9th and 10th rows being random, everything else by seniority. After 12 years I'm just now getting close :!: , don't try to screw me over now!

I would think that the more seats decided by a lottery that there are, the more exciting it is to get your tickets at the window for about 75% of the fans. Even Someone who usually sits in say the 30th row wants a chance to be right up front.
So it's not guaranteed that just because you're in the TC you'll get TC tix?? How does it work, as I've never bought tickets through the TC before. Is it first come first serve buying them, then they give the best ones to the best #'s, or do the best #'s get the first crack at buying them in the first place? So it's possible for a bad # to get tickets, you'll just have to be quick right?

They put up a window for all 10c members to buy them, 10c reserves the best seats. After they are sold, the first 2 rows and the 9/10 rows are seated randomly, the rest by seniority. But if the 10c allotment sells out, that is it.
...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...
They should keep the lottery because it makes it fun for everyone. Everyone has an equal shot at getting one of those really good seats regardless of what your Ten Club # is.

Technically the worse your number is the better your shot at moving up because you can't get worse seats via the lottery i.e. if your number is 50xxx you would only be eligible for the lottery for 1st and 2nd row but would be excluded from the lottery for 9th and 10th row whereas if your number was 420xxx you would be eligible for both lotteries, but yeah I like the lottery the way it is. I'm not sure I would like a lottery for every seat though.
Just to keep things interesting (and inevitably upset most with a 10c lower than 300,000)

Let me guess. Your number is over 300+, right? I'm shocked.
Mine's 187XXX. I agree with him.
Mine's 187xxx too. I disagree with you.

I'd rather sit in the back if it means no scalpers making bank off a poor and idiotic fan who just fed his wallet.
I'm glad someone gets it.
