Sold out?!?! How?

brandon10

So I'd like to know why there is a limited number of tickets for 10 club members? How does that make any sense at all? What is the problem with an entire arena full of fan club??? And what's with this shit, one night only in L.A.????? I'm starting to feel like this club doesn't give a shit about us anymore. And if it has to do with ticketmaster or extra chrges ticketmaster needs that we don't get then charge us a little extra. But being sold out when the Key arena holds 12-15000 is a fucking joke!!! I don't remember ever having to worry about getting fan club seats in the past?! Other than shows like the Vic which is understandable. But it really does not make sense that it is sold out to us so that tickets can be sold to the general public. We are the huge supporters of this band. We should get tickets first!!!!

I think it had something to do with your fellow fans buying all the available tickets.

So you think that the entire arena has been sold out to fan club members? Really??? I'm not sure you understand what i'm getting at.

Kilgore_Trout

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at either. The reason 10C does not sell their tickets for the entire venue, simply put, is because they are not allowed. All Ticketmaster venues give a certain percentage of the venue as a set maximum a band may choose to allocate as fan club tickets. Last I heard was roughly 10% of the venues. Regarding having excellent access to excellent seats, Ten Club does what they can I believe.

The 10club only gets to reserve a limited amount of tickets, these are the best seats in the arena, 10club is unable to reserve all the seats @ the key ticketmaster gets the majority

personally, i'd be pissed if i was going for a show in general sale and the entire ARENA was fan club (unless it was released as a fan club show)

and please remember there are a LOT of devoted fans who aren't in 10club...

i believe per ticketmaster/venue agreements, fan clubs are only allowed 10% of tickets to sell to fanclub members. this is not 10c. this is ticketmaster.

I tried to get tix throught 10c but when I hit Buy it sent me to it's sister site for 4 times the price!

This is the sort of answer I was looking for. Thanks for the info. Unlike the other idiots that decided to chime in. Is this a somewhat new policy? I seem to remember there being 8000-10000 fan club members at the MSG shows in the past.

i recall their being acceptions made for MSG in 03. i beleive that is the same year ticketmaster instituted the policy. maybe that tour was "grandfathered" in or maybe they just didn't want to upset pearl jam again. :oops:

if i'm not mistaken there has always been a limited number of 10c tickets sold per show.

yea there always was. this is nothing new really. only time the 10c had more tickets then ticketmaster was the 03 msg shows.

Ryan_WFC

Now I've seen it all....

10-C won't prove to everyone that they care about us until they build 100,000-capacity stadiums in every city for Pearl Jam to play in and offer the tickets up to EVERY 10-C member. For free.

Of course then said members will bitch about being far from the stage.

It's not a new policy at all. From what i gather from talking to some peeps at TM , 10C actually get more than most fan clubs, but its still not much more than 10% . IF they even do get more than most clubs.
there have been exceptions though as far as some shows. i seem to remember the MSG shows getting waaay more than 10%.
but anyway, its not 10C or the bands fault at all. sorry you didnt get 10C tickets, good luck with TM.

remember, where there is a will there is a way. and sometimes its a BETTER way.
