Official 2024 Ticket Lottery Results Thread

My request for pit tixs in Los Angeles was denied.  I'm upset to see that membership doesn't get priority.  Ticket prices up and membership prices up, I feel there's no incentive of continuing to pay my membership fees.

Membership does get priority. If you weren't a member, you would never have been given the opportunity to buy tickets before the general public who are not members. That is priority. What membership doesn't provide, and has never provided, is a guarantee that you will receive tickets in the lottery.

Membership prices are not necessarily up. There used to be a two-tiered pricing system. Analog membership was $40 per year; digital membership was $20 a year. For many members, the $35 annual fee is lower than it was when they were paying $40 a few years ago.

And that came with a physical newsletter, vinyl, and tshirt.  At some point acknowledging that the fan club is not what it used to be is obvious.  Even to yourself.

Unless I'm missing something, the first photo looks like it's 12:00 center to the stage while the verified seat looks off to the side.  Maybe I'm missing something w/the photo, not sure.

Are you referring to my post? If so... are you suggesting that back of the floor is better than right next to the pit just because it faces the stage straight on? I've never heard that viewpoint before, lol. Very interesting. But anyway, that isn't how 10C operates. It is very clear that 10C works on the theory that closer is necessarily better, which is why I'm back of the floor while someone with a way, way higher number than me is about 10 rows up behind me in the 100 level, which is a far better seat because they'll actually be able to see things. It also explains why I'm seeing some European members and baseball park goers upset that they have obstructed side stage views, realizing that 10C just thought "great, close to the stage." So that means my original point about 10C seat assignments vs standard verified fan tix stands.

I mostly pay $48CAD/year to be able to post in the forum, lol. And of course access to 10C-exclusive vinyl. The membership fee is the least of my worries.

According to 10club the tee is worth $20 plus shipping alone. I’ve been in the club nearly 30 years and I too have gotten my dues back and then some.  I don’t think anyone can argue that the value of membership has continued to decrease over the years.

Well, that settles it. You've declared that no one can argue it, so it must be true that no one can argue it even though people here are arguing it. One might even argue that, in a world of dynamic pricing and bots scooping up tickets as soon as they are released so that they can be placed on the secondary market, the value of the membership and its member-exclusive ticket lottery is greater than it's ever been, but I guess I can't argue that because you've already ruled that such a thing cannot be argued.

I would just like to show visually what $208 got me with 10C vs what $208 got me in the verified fan sale (I am around 480,xxx):

10C (literally the worst seat in the whole arena as far as I'm concerned, which is almost impressive in its shittiness, lol):

Vs. Verified Fan (SAME PRICE):

I mean, come on. That's a bit ridiculous, is it not? I don't understand why that really good standard priced ticket wouldn't have been assigned to a 10C member. Of course, I'm thrilled to have snagged it, but it does seems pretty unfair to 10C members. Now, for all I know, 10C bartered to have standard priced tickets in such good sections but were denied getting them as 10C tix... but why would that be?? If TM did such a thing, it would start looking malicious, since it doesn't bring in any more money for anyone.

I might be in the minority but I would take your 10C over your VF. I do not like that side stage 90 degree view. Had a pretty similar ticket for MSG in 2016. I much prefer floor level and looking straight on even if it's the last row of the floor.

I'd prefer to not look straight on at the back of people's heads. You really can't see shit from the back of the floor no matter what the angle is. Plus, I feel that it is very much preferable to also have a view of the pit. Also, that isn't a 90 degree angle.

Having sat in that area many times, I can definitively say that his verified seat is one of the best in the house. His 10c seat is one of the worst, unless he happens to be 7ft tall.

 Not sure how the 10C doesn't know that they are some of the worst seats in any Venue. 

@PJ_Soul
Congrats on the upgrade. I know that is a better location then the one you got from the 10C.

Honestly I’d pay the $35 if all it did was give me a chance to win the MSG lottery and nothing else, because I really don’t want to pay some other 10c person on StubHub who’s really cashing in on their membership
