Curious if anyone who put in for Chicago or Indy shows has gotten a side view or lawn ticket?

This right here.

And If some can Post there 10C number if you got Side View/Behind the Stage for Chicago. I'm very curious how this worked.

100% agree. The entitlement associated with so many of these posts is really gross. It seems like most people got into the band when they were 15 or 16 and still act like teenagers when things don’t go their way. 

It’s a concert - either you got tickets or you didn’t, and when you enter a lottery you don’t get to pick your seat. It’s part of the game and always has been. Getting a ticket to a show has never been a guaranteed part of the club membership, but so many people on here are acting like it’s their birthright to see this band every time they play. Wish you all could just chill. 

Most of the people are aren’t complaining about not winning the lottery. It’s the people like 93xxx who has 300 level seats instead of 100 level when some guy who joined in 2015 has great seats who have a legitimate gripe. Your point is taken, but seniority isn’t being taken into account in some cases 

Not to play Devil's advocate, but I think people have a legitimate gripe. One of the tenants of the 10C was that seating assignment is based upon membership. The lottery is one thing, either you get a ticket or you don't, and membership seniority has nothing to do with that selection. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but historically, once you got selected for the lottery, your seats were ostensibly based upon your seniority in the fan club. It's one of the reasons we all continue to pay the membership fee.  For some reason, this tour, that is obviously not the case, and understandably some people are frustrated by that fact.  I don't think 10C intended that seat assignments to be completely random, but there's obviously been some sort of change or error that has not been adequately explained to 10C members. I think the fault lies directly at the feet of TM, but that's just me. 

Yes they literally lay this out as a benefit of being a member and paying your dues.  How some people think that expecting to get what you pay for is crying is beyond me.  I think they have a serious hero worship complex.

Exactly this. I mean words should have meaning right? We pay our increasing annual membership dues in exchange for a dwindling amount of benefits, one of the few remaining is supposedly seniority-based seating. The tour post by the band detailed how this was supposed to work for this tour (with seniority factored in), we made our purchase decisions, and then they didn't follow through on what we were told would be the process. But I'm not allowed to care?

The sole benefit is having the chance to get tix at face value. Thats it. Thats what you pay for. The singles and t shirts are gone. If you expect more, need to adjust. Its changed and with that your expectations need to change too. 

Where does it state that the benefit of having a membership is a chance at tickets for face value?
Ten Club Membership Benefits:

• Priority Ticketing - Ten Club holds the best tickets in the house for members-only presale opportunities and rewards longtime fans for their dedication with seniority-based seating. Ten Club strives to continually improve upon its ticketing program to ensure that fan club members have access to the most tickets possible per show. 

Clearly states seniority based seating rewards and improving the ticketing program.  I don't see over paying for 300 level tickets anywhere in the benefits.

One of the crazier parts of all of this screw up is the fact that TC tickets in different areas are all the same price. That's kind of wild. Why does a TC fan whatever their number is who gets 300 pay the same as a GA fan. FWIW i think 160 incl fees for GA is fine for this band at this point, but if you're selected for 300 you should pay $60-75 max

Yes I agree. good luck selling those $162 300 levels on F2F.  Had I put in and got $162 300 level seats I would be pissed.  I wouldn't pay that for GA personally.  I am hoping to pay 60-75 day of show to just get in the building and I will gladly pay that for a 300.  But as a dues paying member for an embarrassing 26 years paying $162 for a 300 level seat would be a complete slap in the face.

Those tickets will be snatched immiedately on F2F ... demand will far outpace supply even for $160 300-levels

For Chicago, yes, which is likely why they shouldn't even be playing these shows at the UC or should have said you can only win one night, knowing that demand would be insane.

Sort of like the Swift issue, doesn't take a genius to see where this could go wrong based on the structure in place if not clearly using priority 1 before all else.

There is no F2F for Chicago. But, find a fan here that didn't get any ticket at all, I'm sure they'll be happy to give you face to get into the building.

No F2F for chicago?

Yes, there is ... along with the ability to sell above face (if you want to risk your membership).  Not sure why people keep saying this.

And there is the next confirmation 2pm CT on the dot.  Chicago N2 - Rear view - 117 directly behind matt.  Row 13 should be low enough to hopefully see out from the lights hah.  I'll take it. In the door. Was priority 1

It's one or the other, not both.  The whole point of F2F is to restrict re-sale to face value. Since there is no resale restriction in Illinois, there is no need for F2F.  You can re-sell your tickets for any amount.

Chicago Side/Rear coming out. Just got filled for night 1 side stage section 114

The more I look at it - the more I think that these are way better then some long time members getting 303 and shit.  Maybe they didn't choose side/rear view as an option?

I agree they are better seats. I'd rather be there than in the 300 Sections. Hell, Id rather be behind the Stage.

Somewhere in the last 5000 postings it was mentioned that the sound is better high up in chicago venue.

So night 2 Chicago, Sec 309 Row 2.  Anyone sat here before? Any chance these might not be as bad as I’m thinking. I know it’s a ways away from the stage……..might try for f2f but these might be worth using as well?

How many people got 100 level seats for Chicago? I can only recall seeing a handful

There are tons of "Where's my seat" pics online for the United Center, unless you are behind the stage. In my opinion, the 300 view wasn't as bad as the nosebleed seats at The Auditorium last year.
