MSG1 74,xxx had 12th row side stage in the friends/family/celeb section. A 44,xxx friend had row 8. Seems like first 7 rows were non 10c.
Not complaining; phenomenal show and you could not pay me to do GA!!!
you paid to get in, you're free to leave.

Philly 1 - my buddy is 198xxx and we were section 113 on Stones side row 11. Seats were basically even with the back of GA.
Philly 2 - my fan club tix 163xxx and we were section 114 row 22 which were basically even with the front of the stage on Stone's side.
MSG 1 we had ticketmaster seats in 200 level.
MSG 2 - my wife's fan club seats 500xxx were floor section E front row behind GA and dead center in front of Ed. Amazing seats. We ended up getting Ed climbing up on the rail in front of us during Porch and got some fantastic photos including this one thanks ten club for a great run of seats!

Mine in Hampton were killer, 7 rows up, aisle seats, first section on Stone's side, 221xxx
My seats in Hampton were in the 19th row of the Mezz section (next to last section up) on Stone's side, so probably at least 40 rows from the floor. I was closer to the roof than I was the stage... member #181xxx.
Definitely the worst 10club seats I've had in 12 shows.
Fuck. That sucks pretty bad for a number in the 100,000s.

Miami was GA & seemed to be way overpacked - not a fan
I noticed a number of people in there without GA wristbands.
People sneak in here & there once the house lights go down. The reason they opted for wristbands with a UV image is because in the past people just slapped on the same color wristbands, albeit fake ones, and walked right in.
Sounds like it is not working anyway. :(

In Greenville my 131,XXX received a pair of reserved in Section 103, Row CC (3 rows up from the floor), 4 seats away from the aisle closest to Section 102. I traded them for a pair of GA but went over to check out the view prior to the show and it was fantastic.
Good to hear. We have similar #'s.
I'm also of the 131,000s... that's not too bad, 103 part of it is even with the GA section right?

In Philly I noticed that in both shows the GA was packed. Much more people than I remembered in 2013. I was thinking either they drastically increased the amount of GA tickets or people were sneaking in left and right.

Both of the GA I attended were noticeably more packed. I happen to be right at the entrance on the one in Miami so that's how I know they stopped enforcing.

You should have grabbed a flash light from the security guy and start enforcing.
I have noticed that in all the crowd photos from the stands/back I've seen on facebook, the GA section looks pretty full all the way to the back. Last couple tours there seemed to be a lot of wasted space between where the people stopped packing in to where the reserved row started behind it. So it definitely seems like there are more people in there than there used to be, and I don't think the Ten Club would sell that many more tickets to make it more crammed in and less safe... Must be the sneakers-in.

I was probably 6 seats to your left. Those were great seats! Perfect view.
so it appears the "good seats" are now side stage....my have times changed. had side seat for Moline, and they were great, but it is certainly harder seeing the whole band on the side. Are we at a point where TC tix are just not worth all the grief?
Does the overcrowded GA seem to be a norm? Do you think it is due to people sneaking in, or TC putting too many in to start?
What seats are better than lower bowl side stage in your opinion? The floor behind the GA is a lot farther away and you have to look around anyone taller then you due to the level grade. Also it does seem like people are sneaking into the GA.
well I base it on old good seats starting row 1 center. I know with a GA pit that will not happen, anf it has not japened in some time, but I am curious of the side seats have become the best seats vs the ones behind the pit.
in 2006 i was 3rd from side of stage, this tour center of arena 20 rows up. never let my membership lapse, must have a bunch of old members decide to come out woodwork.

39,XXX here and 9 rows back, side stage, Mike's side at MSG 1. Not complaining, but I've never been so many rows back for a NY show.
That's a great number. I was discussing w some fans around me w similar numbers and we wondered the same. How can you be more rows back on the side (w some members out of the pool that got GA) than we were when everyone was in same pool and seats were on the floor? I think some of the side best seats are VIPS.
Number 133xxx, Night 2, MSG, had seats in Section 116, Row 13. Definitely what I'd expect given the venue and demand. Also, the side sections for the last couple of tours have normally had a guest section/VIP (McEnroe, both nights at MSG, Carrie and St. Vincent in Dallas '13, Laura Dern/Tim Robbins in LA, always somewhere in my section) The 2 rows ahead of me all had AA passes AND GA wristbands, that they weren't even wearing (or USING).
A bit disappointed in Ten Club members sneaking people on GA. A group near me on Night 1 went from 4 to 12 over the first 3 songs. You could clearly see them taking a ticket back out and they all were wearing generic wristbands similar in color. I find it a little shitty that some people can bitch and moan about rules, until it benefits them.
Given the size of Wrigley's GA, I'm not looking forward to that mess...
first time ten club seats for philly 2 with 449993# I got sec 111 r 2 alittle back from stage but great unobstructed view. never watched the big screen...didn't have to. very happy with my ten club seats!
460-something got me into section 103 in Philly 1. Philly 2 was GA, did not feel packed at all. In fact, it was my favourite pit of all times. People were very nice.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
#535305 got me on the floor, Sec A, Row 4 at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. Decent floor seats.
My buddies tix were in the corner about 15 rows up. Similar 10C numbers. In Québec my ticket was on Stones side. A first in 4 or 5 shows...no complaints. Though it was row MM....a friend had similar seats direct opposite on mike's side one row back. My number is 211xxx his is in the low 400xxxs Think they're getting newer members some taste of the sweet nectar???
It's a hopeless... situation
And I'm starting to believe
^^ |I don't mind if they give "newer members" a taste of the sweet nectar. If it means me sitting a few rows back and few seats over who cares. After all my shows I hope everyone gets a chance to sit where I have at least once. Row 5 is the same as row 10. Seat 17 is the same as seat 1. Sec 116 is the same as 117. Two shows, Quebec and Ottawa. Great seats - Incredibly lucky to be there.
In fort Lauderdale I was 4 sections over row 3 on Mike's side. Not bad, and I felt I was surrounded by ten club members. In Miami I was surrounded by ticketmaster tickets and empty seats and in the last section before the corners. So it was a bit weird.

For Philly 1 I got section 111 (#457). Not nearly as good as Philly 2 2013 when I got section 103.
To someone's earlier point, must have been a few more fans with better membership #s seeking tickets for these shows.
I got section 112 for QC, which were much closer to the stage and killer seats.

Row 5 is the same as row 10.
Seat 17 is the same as seat 1.
Sec 116 is the same as 117.

i am right by your side...
229xxx - Section 119 Row 3...one section back on Stone's side.
About where BraceYourSelf's seats were for night 1, so maybe I have a similar number. I only noticed at the beginning before the show had started. Once the show started, I just rocked the fuck out!
I think I rarely look at the stage anyway (see above about rocking the fuck out!).
Fifth row, Stone's side, "centre ice" at the Air Canada Centre.
Had an excellent view of the full stage the entire night. Loved the seats!
