10C seat locations, call me crazy but......
Is is just me, or does it seem weird we don’t know where are seats are yet? Put in for and won tix to both Boston shows in the lottery. Super appreciative to be in the building and to not have to deal with all these other onsales or the secondary market. . But if you bought TM verified fan tix you know where your seats are. If you bought Red Sox season ticket holder presale tickets you know where your seats are. And if you can somehow get through the public onsale and get tickets you will known where your seats are. I guess I just don’t get why we have to wait 5 months to find out. Maybe I’m just an impatient person.

They are a small operation, have to take like 10,000 orders per show and distribute them in order of seniority, its a different operation than Ticketmaster or Tickets.com.
Basically for the lottery they know how many tickets they have available and allocate those by drawing.
It then takes them some time to attribute the individual tickets to individual members. This year they say we should know in July. Usually you don't know till you pick up your tix at will call day of show, so there's an improvement.

This process has its roots in only being able to pick up tickets hours before the show in order to combat scalping. Only recently, with digital ticketing, gave they offered to distribute them even a few weeks before the show.
I support the system.
Strong 2nd Amendment supporter and advocate targeted methods of reducing gun violence, sans-infringement.
This year will be the first time in 24+ years of being a member that I will know my seat locations before I leave my house.
It's part of the whole allure of being a 10club member
enjoy the shows

I will gladly take that bet.
In the past its been about 10% which would be between 3500-400 for one of these stadium shows, but this year they got a much higher allotment.
Gotten amazing seats via Ticketmaster the day before or of the “sold out” show
For those of us who need to fly and/or stay in hotels to go to these shows, that is just not a worthwhile gamble. Also, not all of us have the luxury of checking over and over the day before or day of show - some of us have jobs where you can't be online like that and just checking ticketmaster for tix. One job I had you couldn't even get on ticket sales sites, they'd blocked them all. You'd have to be on your phone, which again not all of us can do all day at work.
on the side of stage.

But yes, it works just about anywhere, although there ARE shows that hardly any tix open up for, so it's definitely not a guaranteed strategy. But it does work a lot of the time.
