So what's the deal with picking up tickets the day of the show?

Never bought them through the 10C before. What do I have to prepare for? How early to get there?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)

    Its no big deal really.
    ya stand in line and pick them up. Only takes a few minutes.
    Just to be safe, have your Ten club number card and ID handy.

    Have Fun!

    If you get there early enough, there might not even be a line. It might be as quick as 30 seconds. I'm always there pretty early so I can't say how long the wait can get. Since they've been doing it the way they're doing it now, I've had to wait maybe 5 minutes at the most. That was at Pittsburgh in 2006.

    They may have several windows open for different ranges of fanclub numbers. So the first window might say "member numbers 1000 - 99000", then the next window would say "member numbers 100000 - 299000" and so on. I would go to the second window because my member number is 184xxx. I don't remember if they're doing that anymore though.

    Do you have to go right into the venue once you pick them up?

    Seriously? I figured you'd need an id, but my 10 club # card? I've moved like a million times, I have no clue where that is.

    Now I'm buggin'.
    Stop following me, I do not know where I am going.

    just your drivers license or state ID is fine, I've always picked up my tickets this way and had no problems. It is no different now than picking up standard will call tickets, except the venues have a separate booth for ten club tickets only....takes literally seconds.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    only done it once (London last year) but there was no hassle, turned up with my passport and got the tickets within about 30 seconds. no need for your 10c number, but it might help to find out what it is in case they DO have different windows for different ranges of fan club numbers but you should be able to get them anyway.

    put it another way - the 10c ticket 'rules' page just says you need ID and
    It is also helpful, but not necessary, to have your Ten Club member number available for additional verification.
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    It's not required. I try to go to the box office early in the day to find out my seat locations.

    The last time they played MSG, you had to pick them up at a hotel near MSG the day before the first show.

    My ticket partner told me they release 10C tickets for multiple nights on the first day sometimes, how often does this happen? I'm hoping I can get MSG 1 & MSG 2 tickets the first day.

    A have a friend who is a Ten Club member and wants to get tickets but might possibly have to work on the night of the show, but because it's so far ahead of time probably won't. He is in college and just got a super job following his graduation, but because it is such a new employment he doesn't want to upset anyone so early on by asking for a night off. Anyways, has anyone here on the board ever gotten tickets from someone elses fan club membership via a note from that friend or if they call the Ten Club themselves and give another contact name to pick up the tickets? He just isn't sure if he'll be late to the concert or not be able to make it at all. I did read the rules on Ten Club, and do know that the person buying then tickets must be present to pick them up, I was just wondering if someone might have run into a situation like this and was able to work out something with Ten Club. Thanks so much. Later

    Don't worry about having the card. Just bring your 10c # with you (its in your profile in the goods section online).

    I did this for night 1 at camden in 06. They were on ebay buy now with a stipulation you had to be a 10 club member. I got the confirmation email the next day from the 10 club because I emailed them and asked and the said it was cool. Later Yostarama

    Here's the problem though, I am a Ten Club member and am already getting my own tickets. See there are four of us that are going, I'm getting two tickets and my friend who is also a Ten Club member is getting another two. When we go I will obviously be picking my tickets up under my membership, but he's not sure whether he will either be there or be late getting there, so I was wondering whether I can pick up another set of tickets on someone elses name? Does he have to let the Ten Club know that this is going to happen or is this just plain against the rules. This way the third person will still get there ticket, but my friend who isn't sure whether he can go will either eat his ticket or we can give it to him when he shows up to the show? A slight delemma, but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Thanks much. Later

    The hotel was called the Howard Johnson Inn. Recently they changed their name to the Ramada Inn.

    That would be good, did they let you pick up ALL your tickets if you had them for more then one night?
