Only shows in 2003 where they would have been in envelopes were MSG.
Interview from after 2006 tour:

http://www.twofeetthick.com/2006/08/18/the-tft-interview-with-tim-bierman-part-2/

Jessica But did you have something to do with deciding to move
over the seniority model for tickets? Was that your call?
Tim Everyone got together and tried to figure out how we were
going to do it. It was just one of those brainstorming ideas.
Obviously, I can’t remember the specifics of how that happened, but
what I’m assuming is we got to a point of, “how are we going to do
this? What can we do to make this ticketing thing work? How can we
reward the people that have been with us the longest?” And obviously, we’ve had to tweak it a little bit a couple of
times to make it work right.
Kathy Do you mean the decision to move from seniority in blocks
to number specific?
Tim Yeah. It’s much easier than the block system. The block
system was horrifying and it put an extreme amount of pressure on the
[10C ticket] person on the day of the show because they had to come to
the show, get the tickets, make sure they were all there, count them
out.
Jessica I think we found out at the Garden in 2003 when you guys
did exact for the first time, that was great.

Yeah I think I am confusing people here, I am not saying they were not in blocks, I am just saying mine came in an envelope and was already set, so in theory and probably in practice, someone with a higher number in my block definitely could have had better seats and vice versa.

Every show I went to for those tours there was just a stack of tickets that they were pulling the top tickets from. The envelops, for me, came later.

My experience was the same as yours. I really disliked the distribution system that year. We were arriving at venues at 10 in the morning just to be sure we got a decent spot in line when the ticket windows opened. They also were filling out the entire floor section before they moved to the wings. So people with much higher numbers were right next to the stage while we were stuck at the back of the floor.

At Nassau Coliseum in 2003, while we waited in the Ten Club line, a girl who had just been to the window walked by in tears. She was crying happy tears because she had just bought tickets at the box office and they were in the third row. She was not in the fan club. When we got to the Ten Club window after waiting in line for an hour, our tickets (Mem. No. 107xxx) were in the 26th row. That experience was very frustrating.

I hear you. Frustrating is a great way to describe it. I’m glad the ten club listened to the feedback after that tour and change the system after that.

Everyone of the shows I used FanClub tix for in 2003 my tickets were handed to me in an envelope and the tickets were already pre-assigned.

Out of curiosity... what shows were those? I think I went to 5 shows that tour and once you got to the front of the line the employees had a huge stack of tickets for each block and they just handed you the top two tickets from the appropriate block.

4/28, 4/29, 5/3, 6/29, 7/5, 7/6, 7/8, 7/9, 7/14 were the shows I went to, 4/29, 5/3, 6/29 were the ones I used my ten club for.

I did the 4/29 Albany show, got 2nd row, and distinctly remember the tickets pulled off a stack when I got to the window. Made a comment to the woman who handed me the tix "some day I'll get here early enough to get the front row" (had driven out from Boston after working a few hours so didn't get to Albany till around 12:30-1PM to get in line)

Here's where things get weird. I didn't get out there and pick up my tickets for that Albany show until 4-5pm and I got 1st row. First and only time.

Has anyone done anything creative or artistic with their 10C singles?

I'm thinking of some kind of wall mounted display for them once the last couple have been delivered.

Any suggestions ot inspirations?

Ive been using these rigid, top-loading outers for a few years with no problems. The inners are HDPE lined paper from Sleeve City, haven't seen any fogging on the vinyl.

They make top loaders for everything. Except 4k Blu-Ray Steelbooks. Had to import those.
