    Imagine the bitch level if 10c had not gotten the number of tickets they did.  Some are never fucking happy....

    I love it. I always get better seats than I use to through Ticketmaster for my non-fan club tickets.

    Seems like the 100 and 200 section in Baltimore are the equivalent of the entire 100 section at Scotiabank Toronto (or any other regular sized arena). Looks great to me judging by photos of the venue. I've bought the last row of the lower section on purpose because I don't want anyone to be behind me.. I love it, I can lean against the wall and chill. I have last row of the lower bowl for Toronto, side view...I don't think the overhang would be a problem (unless you've been there before and didn't like it).

    Oh, I'm not from Quebec either. That's part of why it made no sense.

    I thought the whole process was easy as hell. More tickets is gonna equal worse seats for a lot of us but there are MORE ten club seats.  Kudos to 10c!!
    That is how I feel and see it.

    I'm 10 rows off the GA pit on the floor in STL.
    I selfishly preferred lower level sides, but hey - in the door and grateful for the VERY GOOD seats I was given.

    Agreed.  I am seven freaking rows away from the stage in Quebec City.  I think a lot of people feel their fan club number should get them good/closer seats but the reality is there is a lot old timers out there still going to shows.

    Yes. But I think the more you paid attention, the worse it seemed when you didn't get tickets or, horrors, made a mistake because you heard about all these other cases of negativity and rejection. It all served to pile on what was already a burden and led to all kinds of (ridiculous) conspiracy theories.

    The reality is that most people got something but it was probably better to be ignorant and happy with this sale or, conversely, to wallow alone.

    Its not like you'd have time to pick and compare seats/sections in the TM sale anyway. You hesitate and you'll lose. You can be slightly disappointed getting a seat further away than you may have hoped for, but the limit of disappointment can only be similar to being slightly disappointed that Outback ran out of baked potatoes, but you can still get Sweet or mashed. 
    exactly...holy shit

    we can't all pick the front row seats


    Wait.  Outback has sweet potatoes??  What in the holy fuck.  How long has this shit been going on and I didn’t know?

    As I've said, they're not too far, it's the overhang.

    Ive been ten clubbed in the past with obstructed views. Hopefully you're right for me or whomever takes the seat. The seats immediately above look much better FWIW

    I'm an admitted ticket snob. But I'd gladly take seats 75% furthest from stage without issues involving obstructed views or overhang.

    Ok gern here you go. This is from the balt roll call-

    "Got Section 228, Row J. 676,xxxx. Pretty pleased with that."

    That's roughly 20,000 higher than me and those seats are a million times better IMO looking at the chart. But I get zero choice within a given range of seats. Im not expecting lower level. That's why blind purchase sucks. The same exact situation happened with my 2018 seats. At least there is the F2F this time.
