Was bored and thought of this scenario, what if someone with a really low 10c # (like 35,xxx) "wins" the lottery for the 9th or 10th row, it would be funny if they ended up further back because of that. Back to work and counting down to the shows.

    What's funnier is that people on this board are probably losing sleep over that very prospect - it has been discussed...10c has said it won't happen.

    supposedly they have already talked about this and 10c that no one will get worse seats than they would get with seniority.

    which violates the whole RANDOMNESS of the process.

    so thos row 3-8 people can only be upgraded to rows 1-2 and cant be downgraded to 9-10

    sounds like a whole lotta BS

    There will be downgrading because those who would have been in 1-2 will now be in 3-4 and those in 9-10 will be in 11-12

    who cares....at least they are giving people a chance. I don't give a crap if they hand select the "upgraded members".

    This just proves the point that no matter what 10c does or how they try to make things better or do favors....people are going to bitch about it.

    Embarrassing
    Like a word misplaced...nothing said...what a waste

    People are going to complain no matter what. Because everyone thinks they are No. 1. 10c has been very good to it's members over the years. What band goes through this much trouble to try and keep ticket issue as fair to everyone as possible?! They have to have some sort of system. I'm bummed I probably won't be in the first row this time. But I'm STOKED about seeing my band!!!!

    i have a 5 digit number 74xxx-- never been in front row-- regardless i think this random option is perfect compromise-- on the canadian tour was embarrassing seeing the same huge guy -- front row center every show

    im sure the band feels same way -- and for whats its worth at some venues back a few rows actually is better puts u at same level as band -- much better than looking up in my opinion

    It goes back to the old saying that you can satisfy all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

    The bitching is overwhelming. There is no way to ideally make everyone happy. I think 10C jumps through hoops to try, but it can never happen. Plus, from a business standpoint, to attract new membership, something like this HAS to be done. I've seen the band from close up seats, from far away, and everywhere in between. I'm happy just to be in the house. Everything else is just icing.

    Peace and Love
    Just me
