Are fans who would have been in 9/10 getting bumped to the very back?

Can we get a straight answer here?

Are the folks with fan club numbers such that they would normally be in row 9 and 10 getting bumped to 11 and 12? Or are they getting bumped to the very back? Or even the very back of 10C member allotments?

What's going on? As someone who's about to drive 10 hours to see a show, I think it's only fair to know what the issues are ahead of time.

    are you there to see the show or worry about your seats???

    seriously how many threads are there going to be about this??

    its random 10c seating in certain rows, expect the unexpected, rock out whatever row you are in and enjoy the show!!!

    That's just stupid. What's the point of having the seniority rule if people will end up getting screwed?

    This is coming from a guy who has a 407xxx, number by the way. I think they should stick to one rule and that's it. There's no "enjoy the concert from the back" if you know you're supposed to be in the 11th row...

    just be happy you are there and have a seat and aren't on the lawn. if it was a major tour to support an album then complain and i'll support you but this mini tour is a nice summer surprise and they decided to mix it up a bit so sit back and enjoy the music and let some other people get a nice view for once, you'll be back up front within the next two years......

    yeah.... but that means that people who used to be in the 10th row should be moved to the 12th or 14th or whatever.... not all the way to the back...

    why does it matter where you sit? especially if you have been that close for the past 10 years or so? so what if you have to go to the back for one show?

    i dont know bout you but im there for the music

    dont take this as a personal attack on you, please, its just all the whining about seats lately

    I'm not taking it as a personal attack, don't worry. I'm not even the one doing the complaining. My number is 407xxx, so I don't even have much to complain about. All I'm saying is that I can see where the people with the low numbers are coming from. If I spent $80 on a concert ticket and was expected to sit in a good seat, then got a seat in the far back, I'd definitely be angry. Thing is, if 10c never promised to seat people by seniority then it wouldn't matter... but they do, so it does matter.

    They are not intentionally going to send you to the back. Apparently there were some mix-ups. The lotto is obviously just going to push you back a couple rows.
    Yes, mistakes were made, people were pissed, understandably...BUT questions like this are ridiculous...use common sense.

    I don't think it's a ridiculous question to ask. I know that I typically sit somewhere in between rows 7 and 12. If they had said ahead of time that there was a chance I would be sitting in the back, I wouldn't have bought tickets.

    But, they didn't say that. They said folks would be shifted back sequentially. If that's not happening, it's bait and switch selling.

    Well said. I'm traveling from Seattle to MSG with a pretty good 10c#. I booked the trip knowing i should have pretty good seats whether i hit the lotto or not. We do have a right to bitch about our seats if there's some funny business going on at the box office. 10c has set a high standard for taking care of us.

    Im with this guy. I (my wife) unfortunately did not renew my 10c membership and I got screwed with lawn tickets for Camden 1. But I gotta say, it wasnt bad from there for me. I was there to enjoy the show, listen to good music, hang with good people and drink some good beer. Why all of this crying about being 11 rows back or whatever.... sheesh I woulda been so lucky to get that.
    I'll ride the wave... Where it takes me

    So if we tell you that you might get bumped to the back of the 10C section, are you going to refuse to go to the show?

    But now you've already bought the tickets, so what are you gonna do? Not go on the miniscule chance that you might possibly perhaps maybe get screwed?

    Kinda lame ...

    Possibly ... but this guy's bitching about the *possibility* of getting screwed. He hasn't been screwed yet, and doesn't know that he will be.

    but yeah i dont see how be bumping back to the 12 row when u normaly sit in the 8 row thats not really fair. i guess as long as your in the show that all that matters but, the ten club are known for the best seats avalible and your number should be based on when u joined the club.

    Ok, you will not be bumped to the back!!! You'll be in row 11. Or, you might win first row. Just enjoy!

    I can't take another thread like this.

    It would be funny if someone in the fourth row "wins the lottery" and gets put in the 9th or 10th row.

    and to quote myself from another thread:
    I will tell you the difference between rows:

    Row 1-5, you see the show.
    Row 6-10, you see the show if you are 5ft 7in or taller.
    Row 11-20, you see the show if you are 6ft or taller.
    Row 20-start of escalated seating, gooooood luck.
    Escalated Seating - lawn...you see the show, but from a distance. Bring Binoculars...oh wait....

    So complain about me posting this thread all you want, but don't impose your beliefs on how to enjoy a concert on me. I maintain my 10C membership for multiple reasons, as I'm sure you do, and ticket seniority is one of my reasons.
