Well I bought fan club tickets for the first night of the Newark shows and wound up in the 13th row. They guaranteed first 15 rows. I bought tickets from ticketmaster for tomorrow night's show at the same time and got the 14th row in the same section. And I paid a little less for them.
The Philadelphia tickets for next March go on sale in half an hour here and now they are only guaranteeing the first 20 rows

I'm short damnit. So I think I'll pass them by and see what I can get on ticketmaster. I'm less than enthusiastic about what the fan club is doing for us.
