Happy with the ticket prices, but feel like I should have got better seats (why do my 10C tix keep getting further back?)

Disappointed with my seats, would pay more for better seats (and now I'm likely stuck with non-transferrable tickets)

    What about disappointed with my seats and think the price was too high.  The price I paid should have put me in better seats, not pay more for better seats.

    Yes, this.  Disappointed in the ticket prices and disappointed in my seats.  I would be fine with the Price if they were close to my "Normal" 10C seats, but not for 300 level.
    There's no need to say goodbye

    Am I behind the stage? Yes. Am I happy to have my tickets before the absolutely overpriced crap show starts with the general public? Absolutely.

    Not thrilled with my seats, definitely worse than I've ever had from 10C before, but they're not that bad and they're a hell of a lot better than no seats at all. Anything I would pull in the general sale would certainly be worse, unless I sprung for premium which I refuse to do.

    This is us as well. 100 and 200 level side/behind stage Chicago tickets will be a lot more than face on secondary sites.

    This. I would not have put in for three shows at this price tag if I had known seniority membership seating wasn’t going to be honored. I’m actually more pissed than excited for the first time in 30 years of going to see this band. $160 per ticket to not honor the rules (that the band & 10c made) is completely unacceptable and unprofessional

    After they reassign these tix in the next few days, someone’s gotta do the following poll:

    Now that seats have been reassigned, are yours 
    A) better
    or 
    B worse?


    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Looking back to last tour, I paid $121 in January of 2020. Using an inflation calculator, that would be $142 today. So, yeah, they're higher, but I think that's the case for concerts across the board. Venues and promoters are charging more to make up for lost revenue, and there's probably additional costs in our new reality. Not saying I'm happy paying more, but it is what it is. Relative to other big concerts, the prices we're getting for GA and floor and 100 level are absolute steals. The tickets I had in the back of the 100 level were well over $200 after fees for Blink-182, and resale prices were higher than that for even 300 level.

    I can’t wait for this to be over. My god people love to complain. They made it pretty clear you would have worse seats than normal. You knew demand would be crazy high. I’m happy to just have tickets so I don’t have to worry about it. If I have a chance to upgrade then great. Everyone will be able to upgrade if they really want to. Just look out on F2F. Chilllllll my friends. 
    After what happens the other day, you know how many bands would’ve done jack shit, 99.9% of them. Y’all can walk away anytime, it is just a band after all. Peace and love peace and love

    Based on absolutely nothing other than pure speculation, I predict 2 shows will be added: IN & TX

    That sounds like option 2. You're okay with the price if it were better seats.
