    The whole floor could already have been taken up with 8000 10c members. and they moved to the sides.
    So, would you rather be in level 200 in the back or 300 up close to the stage? I doubt everyone would answer the same, so PJ has to make a call based on _their_ preference, or whatthey think ours would be. Think about it!


    Dear Nikita:
    The whole floor is not taken up with 8000 10c members because:
    - tickets on pj.com were sold out in 30 mins or so. There is no way 4000 tickets were sold in 30 mins, especially with the website freezing.
    - tickets on the floor have been on sale by scalpers for almost a month now.

    I understand your preference for higher seats but closer to stage, but honestly what they offered us today was crap. I got offered behind the stage.
    Why is it so hard to believe that TM sells better seats to scalpers so they can make more money?

    That's my point. 10C did all they could, and I am sure TM sleazed it up a bit somehow.

    10C went above and beyond anything they 'had' to do.

    I can't believe there were bastards reserving tix they had no intention of buying. There are no words. Cheers, I'm 0 for 3, guess I know who to "thank" now...

    I agree, I don't doubt for a minute that TB did all they could to F us over as usual, but I think 10c probably did all they could to try to make it 'right'

    I am really getting the feeling that you'll score better seats for night two on Friday...but whatever happens, you may bask in the joy of being only one section away from me on night one :D. Were you buying singles? That's what bothers me... section 314 for a single :(

    No, it was a pair. 314 for a single?!? Damn! I would have thought you would be much closer!

    I don't know man, I hope you are right, but that sounds a bit fucked up. We'll see on Friday I guess. Don't get me wrong, I am happy if all the people who got shut out again get tickets, and are better than mine, but I sure hope 10c was in good faith. I guess we'll wait a while for an apology, yeah?

    I know this is unlikely too, but its possible that these were the best seats behind 10c, that ticketmaster would allot to the 10c for a second presale. It may not, and probably was not up to 10c at all.

    They need to go back to the days of mailing the tickets out to 10 club members. I have a 10 club number in the hundreds and I keep getting shut out.

    here we go one more time

    the 10C got blocks of tickets for both on sales-but they do NOT GET ALL OF THE SEATS IN A GIVEN SECTION, most will never be put onsale to the public at all.

    the better tickets that the 10 C was able to secure went through the 10c site, the remaining went today with TM fees. Those seats are all over the building, and Id bet the same is tru with the 10c seats.

    take section 120 for example, first five rows 10C sale, next ten rows (TM never releases for promotional reasons), next group of five went today.
    None of those will be available Friday and I do really think thats how it went down.

    you get my drift.

    It wont make a difference.

    Many more fans, a lot fewer tickets is the bottom line.

    Well, you may be right, but this is genuinely misleading:

    "The seat locations will be the next best seats behind the
    Ten Club"

    It is. I took my section 314 under the assumption I could do no better on Friday. And if there are going to be 10c tickets in section 300... ouch. Hasn't it worked most of the time that 10c tickets are better than regular sales ones?
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    That is what a lot of greedy people need to realize. There are thousands of fans trying to get the best seats. Not everyone will be in the first 20 rows. Just be happy you are there. Isn't the music the most important part?

    I doubt the 10C would give a presale for shitty seats... I also know Jack Johnson had a presale through ticketmaster and they gave the best seats in that...

    We'll see on Friday, but I got section 314, which is waaaay up and slightly behind stage.

    1st post on this 'ere message board! :)

    The whole ticket system really is a mess. I'd like to think that 10c would have not deliberately stitched up the fan club members, and blame it more on TM. I too have been watching the rip-off site that is 'stubhub' and have seen tickets there for a couple of weeks now (IIRC, before the 1st 10c pre-sale). Where do people get these tickets??

    I really wish someone would come up with a way of stopping the outrageous profiteering at the expense of genuine fans..or 'scalping', as you guys call it - known as 'touting' on this side of the water!

    I'm still optimisitic (fool that I am) of getting tickets tomorrow. Me and my missus will be flying over from the UK and will get in one way or another. Been a fan since '92 and have never had a chance to seem them live. That MUST change this year!

    Good luck to everyone tomorrow...and if you have spares, do the decent thing and share them at face value with real fans (and hey, if that's me...I'd graciously accept! ;) )
