How bad is Reserved Seating?

Let my 10c lapse before this tour so joined again Jan 1st and won my 1st choice, RS- Ottawa. Odds were 51% if I recall. With 550xxx as my number will I get the bad seats in back of floor? My wife is short. Less than 5ft and its her first show and it would be disaapointing to not see anything. Does the betters odds come into play?

    I just had a friend join a couple of weeks ago and I thought he said his number was 540xxx. Either way there is no way to tell where you will be sitting but the odds are good that you will either be on the floor or in the back section of lower bowl. I would get to will call at an early time and see what you are getting. If they are on the floor and you do not want them find someone to trade with at the wishlist party or at the venue. Plenty of people want the floor wether they are in 10club or not. The only hesitation I would say is to make sure the tickets you are receiving are legit. I would go to the entrance with who ever you are trading with and let security scan them first as you know your tickets are good. If they are bad keep on looking. Good luck!

    Thanks bud. I will try that. Hopefully I get anywhere lower bowl.

    I'm 495xxx and was near the back of the lower level for both shows I just went to. Ill say one thing. The back corner of the lower level is 100x better than upper levels. The energy level in upper levels is a fraction of what it is in the lower levels. I saw it firsthand being in 211 for MSG1, then section 120 for MSG2.

    My reserved seats for 10c were close to the stage on the side of the arena about 14 rows in for Miami and Tampa.

    I was happy with my seats in Lexington but they were one section further from the stage and higher up compared to my seats in Cincinnati.

    I guess it depends on how many 10c members are going to the show

    I've been in 16 years and my reserved seats were on the floor behind GA, halfway back. You'd be better off grabbing Ticketmaster or StubHub tickets on the day of the show. I met people who had great seats on Mike's side that they bought for $33 each that day.

    What show?

    Exactly!! Playing with fire when you wait. Big market shows aren't gonna go for face value , much less for less than that.

    Try for TC seats, and proceed (cautiously) from there.

    High-ish number as my membership lapsed. Also went to Philly with a friend who signed up in November. We were first row in the lower bowl behind the back of the floor with my tix and maybe 14 rows back same section with his the next night. IMO, ten times better than being anywhere on the seated floor section. Energy from the newer fans was INSANE. Look forward to it.

    My daughter's 10c number won for msg2. She's over 500000. (Yes she's a fan and went to the show). We sat in the lower bowl directly in front of the stage. 2nd row in the section. They were perfect seats bc she could see the entire stage, lights, all of the floor and up the sides all at once without turning her head. It was like information overload for sure! I had a great time watching her soak it all in. 10c seats are always great imo.

    Columbia. Huge disappointment after killing time in Raleigh for 2 days.
    Yeah, that sucks. 10C tix should never be on the floor behind GA IMO (unless the venue is forcing them into it). Upper level on the sides is better than seats on the back half of the floor.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    It seems more people mentioned they got lower bowl seats. Maybe PJ is using the seats last this tour.

    I think most got lower bowl seats. But I'm just saying that if there is overflow out of the lower bowl, I feel like 10C should then be assigning the overflow to the upper bowl on the side rather than way back on the floor. Even behind the stage is better than halfway back on the floor (IMO).

    My brothers 145xxx has gotten us seats so far to the side several times that the sound has been awful. Its a crapshoot really. My 241xxx seats are often better than his.
