    Only put in for Chicago Night 1. 
    Member #67XXX. 
    Original seats: Section 121 Row 18 seats 5-6 
    New seats:     section 112 Row 16 seats 9-10

    Honestly I find it slightly comforting to see that some people didn't have tickets, but now have them. However, what makes me most irritated about this is the lack of transparency from Pearl Jam about the whole thing. I have to admit that I'm a little bit skeptical that enough people with a number below mine won in the "redraw" or whatever to push me back an entire section. I know these are still damn good seats, my originals were even better.. so good they could sell them for PREMIUM PRICES?! Hmmmm.

    I submitted an email to TC about being literally where I was for the 2010 Indy show. Not sure anything will come of it but it's crazy that my seats haven't improved after 13 years with member #443xxx.
    My seats haven't improved at all in 20 years in the club. In fact, they continue to get just a bit worse. I guess not a single person with a number better than mine has let their membership drop and they are still alive. It's quite amazing. 

    For the St. Louis show on the last tour, it was basically the worst seats I've had. For Indy this year, I think I'm almost exactly where I was in 2010.
    So back in the day, I think before 2010 (maybe WAY before), Ten Club members could only get tickets to a single show with membership seats. Then, they made it two shows. Then, they changed the first two rows at every show to lottery. Then, they added an entire GA section in front of all reserved seats. And also around this time, they also cut back a lot on how many shows they do per tour. 

    Meanwhile, many Pearl Jam fans are getting older and having more money to spend. More people going to more of the shows, with fewer shows available, means everyone gets pushed further and further back every time, every tour. 
    Yeah - that was likely a factor. 

    I think another big thing they did this time that nobody is really complaining about is to lump the GA and the Reserved together as a single choice. 

    I think on past tours, plenty of people were willing to "go for broke" on GA tickets, but didn't really want reserved. And they could do that and either get them or get nothing. 

    This time, many of them probably ended up with tickets they didn't want. I look for lots more tickets to be up on F2F and for sale elsewhere this time. 
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    exactly. i feel we all got pushed to make room for rich assholes. it's bad enough that behind the stage is the same price as the front rows and GA.

    Indy
    Old: Sec H Row L
    New: Sec F Row X

    The "new" is literally where I was for the 2010 show with Member# 443xxx
    I'm pretty bummed out after keeping my membership going for 15 years.
    I didn't even put in for Noblesville and it's my home show (4 minutes away) through 10C. My number is 230xxx and I was sitting in Section D, Row BB in 2010. I was behind people who didn't even know what the 10Club was. I ended up moving to the lawn because the seats were so bad. I'll be in the lawn this year again and with the lawn pass didn't even have to pay for them (specifically).
    your livenation lawn pass may NOT be good for PJ. the rule sand regs state not all shows are a part of it. i looked at getting one for livenation venue in chicago(tinley park).
    Thanks for looking out but I did my research before to make sure it was a play to make.

    Lawn pass = $239.00
    PJ ticket = $82.00 

    Last year with the shows I attended it ended up costing me $9 per show I went to. Less shows so far this year but still some time to hopefully fill in another couple September shows or early October. 


    good on you, man. i hope they honor the pass.

    They (Ruoff) were asked this by someone on FB and responded that the pass applies to the PJ show for sure.

    With now a 3rd seat assignment, can we officially call this, "The Duck, Duck, Grey Duck Tour"? (shout-out to Minnesotans who may get the reference.) :) Alternatives: "Musical Chair Tour"; "3rd(?) Times a Charm Tour"; "TSFKAM (The Seats f/k/a Mine) Tour";  "The Waiting Drove Me Mad, Your Seats are Finally Here and I'm a Mess, I Take Your Seats Back Tour."

    In all seriousness, hopefully the 3rd assignment curbs some of the consternation (rightfully so) from everyone getting moved back. But, it may be a 3 steps back, 1 step forward situation for some, at best.

    I don’t know if a thank you is in order. This whole thing is a mess. During the last reshuffling NOONE reported an improved seat. Why do you think that will change this time? I’m all for positive vibes, sunshine’s and rainbows but come on.

    Dont we pretty much figure the re-shuffle was to make room for verified tickets to sell

    I put in for both nights in Chicago—sections 310 and 312. My heart goes out to those who didn't get a ticket but, sorry, at $160 for the worst seats in the house I can't help but feel screwed over.

    I was just double charged on my credit card after not getting a ticket. Got a ticket, TC email, and now double charged. Safe to assume I have a reassigned (new) ticket…?

    I've been increasingly upset with ticketmaster's tenclub dealings, and they screwed me on the last tour, and tickemaster customer service is non existent. It feels hypocritical for pearl jam to continue to rely on them. And that was before this debacle.

    Over 20 years ago I used to always get ten club seats in the first ten rows in chicago. I was a little shocked my email has seats on the opposite side of the area. Waiting to see how this settles.

    Any new realizations... would have to wait...
    Til he had more time,... more time...
    Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye,
    To himself... I'll see you on the other side...
