    96 and 98 I had, as Ed referred to as "shit tickets"....in 06, I was grateful to be close enough to even see them... from row NN. The Meadow's lawn sucks.

    you must have been right near me.. were you in the second section of seats, kinda in the middle?
    i hope my 405xxx will get me good seats, because i got my hartford 06 tickets through a connection last time

    From my stand point it blows b/c i've been a member since 95 which means i'm always sitting in the third row. Based on the front two rows being random I think this mean i will get pushed back two more rows based on senority.
    Hopefully not but i think it's good for everyone else.
    In all honestly from most of the shows i attended last year the idiots in the first two rows were the biggest bags of shit i have ever seen. Most of them stood there with there arms folded bitching about songs

    Yeah, i'm 86xxx and I think that is very fair. Nice move 10C!
    This was a great idea. It's very fair. I've always been for seniority because I have a decent number, but I can only go to shows that are attended by better numbers (Seattle area, original fan club members). So I get decent seats, but wouldn't want to get much further back. Anyway, great idea, now all I need is a show I can get tickets for not all the way across the continent!

    Great move.

    A buddy of mine screwed up and let his long time membership lapse and now he at least has a shot at the front instead of being at the end of the line.

    The change really cheered him up.

    Big thumbs up to the 10C and another big thumbs up to the low numbers being positive about this change!

    I now have a chance!

    A lot of these people must be new members because everybody is excited.
    I went over details again and do not see where this is posted and no one has shown the proof.
    I am glad they are coming to play here but the 10 years + members still deserve the best seats. You can flame me all you want for saying that.
    I have been lucky enough to be in the first 15 rows but I am sure if I had the money to travel to see several shows I might get closer.
    I would love to be in the front but somebody that joined in the last two years needs to be behind me sorry:( all of us old timers have paid our dues literally!!

    This kicks too much ass. I'm glad they're giving the random seating a shot.

    Since there's going to be a different set of fans up front every night, it could make for some pretty damn good shows.

    i dont think they should do this every tour. the people with low numbers should be up front but, if they want to do it on this tour for fun go right ahead.

    I think it's a great move by the Ten Club... it really gives newcomers incentive to join up. And hey, any one of us might land front row one day.

    I was a little worried with all the talk of change around here....but that sounds like an excellent compromise. I have a pretty decent number, been front row once, most of the time row 4-6, so hopefully I'm not even affected that much.....and hell, maybe for the better! (although, I'd prefer side stage seats after about row 8, unless I was seven foot) Now if I can just come up with the cash by monday

    it also gives scalpers the chance to sign up now and score first two rows, btw, which never existed before. in fact, i thought the major reasoning behind seniority was to prevent scalping...

    10C tickets are handed out to the person making the purchase. So, should a scalper get his hands on a pair of tickets, he/she would have to be there to collect them and he/she would have a max of 2 to sell. Not much of an incentive for scalpers I would say.

    They really did nail it, and I give em big creds for that. I look forward to getting great seats again for the Mass. date like I did in 2006 for one of the Boston shows, with the possibility of being in the very front. That'd be fucking sweet.

    It's the 'friends' in the ticket business that may be more of a problem with scalping than the one that signs up for two tix. General sales tix are the ones vulnerable, as we all know! Some 10C tix may turn up on ebay, but those are usually the 'spare of the pair'.
