Some ticket purchasing questions

DiRtyFranK38

if this news really is about a a pj tour in the north east and south i'm planning to go to hopefully around 5 shows. wishful thinking considering i'm 16, but at least 3! so i live in ct. if they come around the area i'm planning on here in ct, nyc, boston, and philly. how should i go about buying tickets? it's going to be 2 or 4 tickets for each show depending.. my 10c number is 405xxx. last tour, i had some connections for tickets here in ct so even though i was part of 10c, i did not buy tickets that way. i ended up with great seats for like 35 bucks a ticket. they were in the 10c section too. so as far as actually using my 10c for tickets, i don't know too much. should i buy each set of tickets through the 10c? if so, about how much will each tickets cost me for really good seats?

You have to buy in pairs, and you can only get one pair. The price is set too, so for a pair it's like $110.

with your number they wont be great considering the markets you're thinking about attending. the northeast has a very large concentration of 10c members. but your tickets will most likely be better than anything you'd be able to get from ticketmaster. that is, of course, if you get 10c tickets. 10c tickets do sell out.

Like the other poster said, it depends on the show and your number. With your number and in a place like Boston, I would guess wing seats like 12-15 rows up potentially. With the same number somewhere in Canada, maybe the very back row of the floor. It's really quite hard to tell.

does it let you know when you buy the tickets?

you won't know where your seats are until you pick them up the day of the show.

well, we don't know yet if there are going to be pj shows. this could be more ed dates, but if it is pj, and they play the cities you're interested in, i say go with 10c tix. 90% of the time, they're better than anything you'll get from ticketmaster, and you save a little money on fees. just my .02 cents.

thanks alot. i guess i'll check ticketmaster first, and if really good seats are avaliable at a reasonable price, then what the hell. but most likely i think i'll be going 10c.

10c tickets are sold before they go on sale through ticketmaster.

I think 10c tickets go on sale before ticketmaster, so you have to be pretty sure you want to chance those ticketmaster tix. You can always buy a single ticket from a 10c member that has an extra.

you think it's smarter to go with 10c though?

Yeah. The best ten club ticket will get you first row wing seat in the back quarter of the venue. Worse than that everyone around you will be sitting down and pissed if you try to rock out. You won't get that anywhere in the 10C area.

your number is high, but like i said before, 10c tickets are better than what you'd be able to get through ticketmaster. the only way you'd really do better is of they release tickets right before the show, but it's risky because the ticket drops happen without any notice. you have to watch the board and then pounce.

hmm .. this is tricky .. thanks for all the info. i presume all 10c tickets are good though. i hope anyway. as long as i get to go though i'm happy!

Yeah your number is pretty high. I signed up a few years ago and it's like 363xxx and that's still pretty high. Don't worry though, your number will get lower and you'll still have good seats compared to the general public.

well, i guess i'll have to deal with what i got. as long as i have a pretty clear view of the stage and all it's good. i don't want to be way in the back. plus i'm sure some venues my seats will be better then others..
