so what happens to the folks that used to get these seats me being one of them ,what about the fan who has sat 9th or 10th row for the past three tours and doesn't get lucky with 1st or 2nd row this tour where are those people going to end up further back ?? .....how is that fair to them now think about this before you crucify me ,you are used to the 9th or 10th row and now you don't luck out and you end up further back not closer but further back.......i figured this board needs something to spice up this dull tuesday ...:D

    It's not a matter of not being fair to the normal 1/2 and 9/10 row people. It's a chance to let other fans get up front and see their favorite band up close. Sorry, but someone who has seen then from the first 2 rows 50 times will live if they are now in row 3 or 4.

    Rows 9-12 at any given show...that would be people like me.

    My answer....find yourself some good friends that are tons cooler... and not sweat it too much. ;)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    anything is better than the blocks.

    as long as they NEVER do blocks again, I will not complain.

    I despised that method of ticket distribution.

    I feel for you...BUT I think it has as much to do with the band's preference as giving fans a fair shot...I think they want to change it up and maybe change the energy - so, in a nutshell, I am blaming you for not being entertaining enough for the band :)

    i agree with your assesment but i'm thinking more about that fan who has been sitting 9th or 10th hoping to move closer if that fan doesn't luck out and score 1st or 2nd he/she ends up farther back they don't move up ,as the fan who used to sit 1st it's not that big a deal to sit 4th or 5th for this tour ...

    That was a hassle for sure. Still can't really complain though.

    Don't you know what they look like by now? What do you think your entitled to those seats every show.I tell you what the next time you get those killer seats ,go find a few fans sitting in the nose bleeds and swap ticket stubs.

    I am usually right around there. Back 3-4 rows won't hurt me too much.

    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.

    sometimes it pays to be 6'4


    i try to explain to people that row 20 back on the floor is not all that hot, especially for short girls that are 5'... they cant see shit, especially if they end up behind me :D

    some of these arguments assume that everyone in the first couple of rows (up to now) goes to every show or has seen 50 shows from the front row. what about the poor slobs who have only been able to manage front row seats 4 times since 2000? is it fair for them to no longer have the priviledge of occasional front row? it's too bad those folks have to suffer because of a small percentage of assholes....
