Chicago Show Roll Call - Ten Club # Seniority

223xxx member since very late 2000. I will be coming in from Arkansas along with other Arkansans. This will be our 3rd AR to Chicago trip to see PJ in the past 3 years.

I had some great wing seats for Night 1 in 06 on Mikes side; 2nd section over about 6 rows up. Night 2 I was in the 2nd level on Stone's side half way up about 8 sections over.

Hey Tony - Fellow Memphian here (Arlington to be exact). Also heading to Chicago! Glad to have our first PJ presence here in 9 years when Ed plays the Orpheum!

You'd have to fight my PJ soul mate for it. Me thinks he'd put up quite a fight

Also coming from MN, I think I was row 10 on the floor in '03. Haven't been back to Chicago for a show since.

I was about 10 rows back in the center in '06.

Hoping it will be even better this time around.

In 2003, I was not on the floor for night 1, but had 3/4 of the way back floor seats for night 2.

Very, very excited for this one.

A lot of times a wing seat is better than a floor seat IMO.You could get lucky again...

(404,XXX) Last year in Tampa, my 10c seats were one section out and on the side of the stage about 3/4 of the way up. Considering there will be a lot more 10c members at this show, I'm just hoping to at least be in the lower level!

299xxx -- We were front row in the second section of seats on the floor at the UC back in '06. Not bad seating at all. I'm expexting something similar for this show.

i live here and couldn't be happier since traveling for me is most likely out of the question this year.
had like third row off to the side by mike nite one 06, whoever it was that used those seats quite possibly had the 2cnd best seats in the house when ya get your own personal "master" show ,i used a friend's ticket and was in the 2cnd row center, you know who you are still cant thank you enough!
used my own tickets and was 16 rows back on nite 2
if that helps any of you

I am obsessed with this band to the point where other people think it's a problem, but whatever.

It's just a shame that people that have ridiculous numbers like 1-1,000 have seen them hundreds of times and still get to sit in the front.

Respectfully, you don't represent well by phrasing things like this. It's clear that you're disappointed, but I'm pretty sure that if you had a low number ("...like 1-1,000...") that you wouldn't think it was a "shame." I know I wouldn't. I think it's unfortunate to make generalizations like this. I have a relatively low number (no where near 1-1,000 but still respectable) and this is the first time I'm ever using my fan club tickets. Focusing on concepts like fairness or entitlement is distracting if you put them in the context of what you think you might never get. But viewing things through the lens of hypotheticals can be infuriating. Rather, I think it's probably accurate to say that you won't know how good your seats are until you find them at the show. Even a seat that is a little further back still sounds great.

The opposite side of the coin would be to ask: Isn't it fair that the people who were fortunate to jump at the opportunity to join the 10C from the get-go (I'm not one of them) and have maintained their membership diligently over the years exercise their option to get what the 10C said they would? Can you honestly say that if you had taken the time to make sure your membership was up to date for the past 17 years that you would be completely 100% fine with taking seats farther back because someone else doesn't think the situation is fair? Not trying to aggravate you here (really), just wondering if you could truthfully answer "yes."

I understand that the rules have gone through several iterations through the years, but I think that if you stick with the band and the 10C that over time you will not be disappointed! There's a very good chance that there will be variations in the seating placements in the future and when that happens and you score 2nd row center you'll be overjoyed and I'll be a little further back (but still loving the experience!).

PJ puts on a great show and they're one of the only bands that is a must-buy for me. I've got the distinct feeling that you'll enjoy the show no matter what.
