what ten club number are we up to now?

um, I've never gotten a reminder. Infact, I just checked my email from the whole month before my membership expired and the only thing from the 10c was about traveling to europe. It's not a email security issue- I get everything else from them (it's in my contacts and whatnot).

Weird, and you're sure your security settings are ok and your up-to-date e-mail address is logged with the 10c? I get a reminder each year, like I said, about 1 month before it's due.

Do you get all of the other e-mails from 10c?

I keep seeing people say that if you place an order before you join a membership number is assigned to you and then that becomes your number but I'm not sure that's true. I joined in early 01 and my number is 22xxxx, but the oldest order in my profile is from December of 02 and the order number is 2643. Why is my ten club number almost ten times higher than that if an order # becomes my membership number?

I would kill for a number like that.

For 197xxx? You shouldn't. I have 229xxx and it does not get me good seats, trust me. Unless you consider 25 rows up on the side of the stage good seats. Hell, at the United Center I was almost at the back of the floor 30 rows up. They are not seats that I would be excited about pulling on Ticketmaster. And that's not Boston/NYC/LA.

Maybe, maybe not. I really can't remember. But my point is if they assign a number to each order then why were numbers like 2643 being assigned in December of 02 and 22xxxx being assigned in early 01? I'm taking it that a membership number is only assigned to the first order of a non-member and that all orders after joining are just given regular order numbers. That still seems weird to me though.

no, it's not the order number you misunderstood.

when you order something for the first time, you create an ACCOUNT. it's that account that get the number (except I don't think you can see it).
if then you order a membership, it's that account number you get (or got, I thought I heard it was patched..I hope it was) that original order account number as your membership number.

it definitely happened because every time one of those 'what's your number, when did you join' thread appears, I can see several people that joined later than I did (much later, over a year), with better numbers (I had never bought anything before the membership).

I also heard there was some number cock-up many years ago so some of the very early members got shortchanged and ended up with a much worse number than they should have (relatively..talking about <100,00 here) and that could not be fixed.

419,7xx, joined MOnday

I`m glad I got in when I did 10 years ago this past January, and my number is 165xxx. The best th at i`ve gotten was fourth row mikes side fot the East Lansing show in 98. The worst that i got (which did turned out to be a great deal in the end) was in 2003 At DTE ENERGY MUSIC CENTER (PINE KNOB DAMN IT!!!!).....anyway I went there early and waited from like 9 am to 3 pm and finally got tickets and they were 25 rows back, I guess what happened was that the season ticket holders were able to get the seats before the fanclub could get the tickets, so they had a limited number of lawn seats that they gave out for the next nights show that they gave out , which wasn`t bad at all.

That makes a lot more sense. I hate that I let my membership lapse. I first joined in late 94 or early 95, but I never renewed after the first year. I was young and dumb I guess. I wonder what my number was back then?

My numer when I joind in 95 is 168xxx Closest I've ever gotten is 12th row center stage. I have to say those were not bad seats...wish I could get closer next time!!

I've always gotten an E-Mail reminder. As a matter of fact I got 2 this year because I forgot to renew after the first one.

Dear Ten Club member,

This is just a friendly reminder that your membership has either expired or is about to expire. PLEASE NOTE: You now have 3 months from the date of your expiration to renew and retain your member number and seniority. If you renew after the 3-month grace period, you will receive a new member number and lose all established seniority.
