I was at DC2 last night & got great seats center orch row L - 12th row). I was so excited to be there in such a small intimate venue. (especially with a 430xxx 10c number. Thanks 10c!)

Anyway, the 2 guys in front of me (row K) got their tickets & figured out they were in row 11. The one guy looks at the other one & says "That sucks" & a girl behind me in line got row G (row 7) & siad she wasn't very happy. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!! How spoiled are you - people wouuld kill for those seats. I will probably never be that close again. The two guys looked bored & even left during the end of the 1st encore.

I am so happy they did random seating (even for PJ - I didn't win the lottery but the people who won looked very happy).

I was just so put off by those who thought they "deserved" better seats. Those of us with higher numbers deserve to be there as much as you do - and we are happy just to be there. If your seats sucked so much, I'm sure someone up in the balcony would've traded with you in a second.

UNREAL!!!! (sorry, just had to vent!)

    i think some fans feel they deserve to be rewarded for all the money they spend, time they contribute to the board, etc., etc,.
    i can understand the disappointment, but you're right. when its randomized like they are doing for these shows, its just part of the fun.
    i'm anxious about where my 10C seats will be on Friday but only anxious because i'm excited to actually be there!

    Let those loser fans try living in europe and read about the EV shows instead of actually attending them.

    Ungrateful is the word that comes my mind. Lots of people can't even afford to sit in shitty seats at EV shows or PJ shows and they're complaining about the goddamn 11th and 7th row. It would of pissed me off too. I would of gotten over it real quick cause I was at the show, but still, just sayin, I hear ya.

    HOW EFFING CLOSE DO PEOPLE WANT TO BE? Can you see from the 11th? Yes. Can you hear everything perfectly? Yes WHERE DO PEOPLE WANT TO BE SEATED? INSIDE EDS NOSE? Come on.

    If your inside 20 rows from the front you are all good. Even if you aren't you just won't be able to study the missing hair follicles missing in part of Ed's beard.

    People love to bitch about everything EVERYTHING. Especially us Americans. I say go eat a hamburger and shut your mouth.

    while waiting to pick up my tix for Camden 1, every group (3) of people that walked by after getting their seats complained. one included a group of ladies that weren't happy about having dead center first reserved section. WOW, and i thought my sense of entitlement at times was bad.

    That's insane. Seriously just pisses me off. I've been 20+ rows for both shows and I and the people around me were all just happy to be there. Besides, the lights go down and Ed comes out and starts playing and the distance just disappears :)

    I wouldn't call them fans, but I sat behind such a couple in their 60's They saw PJ at a Bruce show? and thought it would be a fun evening to see ED since they lived in DC.

    I don't think they even own a CD player.

    But, I am grateful for any tickets I can get. Especially since they sell out so quick.

    Having said that I think the senoriy # thing needs to go. Many of us let our fan club memberships lapse in the late 90's when the fan club sucked. (sorry)I have met many fans who this happened to- and where did are old #'s go?
    I think anyone who has had a membership for at least 5 years should be equal.

    well, what I thought was weird (I'm not complaining) was that I got the same row (G) both nights, only a few seats away from eachother.

    Again, the show was great and I had an amazing time thanks to 10c and EV, but I just thought it was strange to see randomized seating seat me in almost the same spots both nights.

    I was right out of high school in the early 90's & didn't own a credit card. Plus, I diidn't have the money to go on tour with them so to speak or even own a computer until the later part of the nineties. It should be random at all shows - makes it so much more fun!

    i agree with you that its off putting when people act like that, but we dont need to get into the random seating discussion around here again, it rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    Hearing this makes me soooo happy about the random 10c seating!! Eddie and the guys are sick of seeing the same people in front the last few tours!!
    He even said something along those lines at Albany '06.

    row L was actually row 13... I was there and kept counting and didnt know why... never took the time to see how the rows were labeled though.



    also, as long as those people werent screaming like asshats the whole night you should be happy

    Yeah, that's crap. I got shut out of MSG 1 and 2 Presale, as well as the presale for Toronto and Boston solo shows. But I got tickets through Ticketmaster and as far as I was concerned, I was in the door so I was lucky.

    That makes me angry!

    exactly, you should be happy to sit anywhere, you dont need to be sitting in eddies lap to enjoy yourself and if you do then just dont come.
