Very annoyed but I will not let this bother me too much. They don't have enough tickets to please all of us. Because of this, there should have only been 1 pair per member for 1 show. If you got two shows, congrats. I will not be renewing my membership ever again. I would rather pay some scalper than spend so much time trying to get tickets here. The Ten Club will not let me down again as I no longer have any expectations for it. I can care less about a Christmas Single or a news letter. I just want tickets.
Why the fuck does it have to be so hard to get tickets for this band? Maybe if the people who have already seen them 2 times layed off just once everyone else would get a chance.
Thanks EPOTTSIII!

its not hard to get tickets
its hard to get the preferential 10c tix
especially in the northeast or when the shows are limited
That was absolutely ridiculous.. Hour and a half on a T1... Multiple times clicked on buy and got error messages every time...
How is it that we pay $83 a ticket, and $20 for membership, but yet they can't upgrade their servers... I would rather go back to the mail it in process...

yeah and the dead's mail order still reeks of favortism, among other things
I agree I wasted over almost 2 hours trying to get tickets. I got through 3 or 4 times and clicked the buy button and it sent me to a page that wouldn't allow me to complete my transaction. I have been buying fan club tickets for years and every time they have a pre-sale they can not handle the volume and the server crashes. Hopefully one day they will get a server big enough to handle the fan base. PEARL JAM is the best band in world and the Ten Club website is a third world site.
Yeah you would think the millions of dollars they bring in just from membership cost and renewals that they would be more prepared for such heavy traffic. :?

I called out of work today! For what? Nothing! They kept saying wrong password and when I finally logged in with the same password I was using to begin with. The tickets were sold out! They need to update their stuff. :(

not as far as getting tix, but as far as seat location
prime seats are not allocated randomly TRUST
At the start I got a message that said "This item is not for sale" For about 2 minutes. Got buy button at least 20 times. No luck. Will see if I can get Tix on Friday. If no, then I'm just bummin. But there are worse things. What they are, I can't think of at the moment.
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

Almost missed a flight trying to get tickets...got the buy at least 30 times each time saying they were "out of stock"or te one that cracked me up was "could not be added to your cart because this item is not for sale"- (uhhhhhhhh what again ?!)...1 hour spent with Temp Out Stock, so I held out but had to go...thank goodness I caught my flight. Here we go with ComcastTix for the hometown show :?
got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.

I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.
i tried for about 20 minutes at my girlfriends house, then i just said w.e cause i had already gotten tickets to night 1, when i got home i thought id give it one more shot and i got tickets at around 540 ET
after reading all of this i sort of feel bad about getting tix to both nights...
I logged on at 1:30 EST because I didn't read the post correctly...finally figured out that weren't on sale 'til 5pm but stayed logged on & in. Refreshed throughout the day without problem. At 5pm I hit refresh and it kicked me offline. Tried for another 45 minutes to log back on and while I could get to the site it would never let me purchase tickets. Pretty disappointing but whatcha gonna do? Guess I'll be on TM tomorrow...hope it goes better there since my 14 yr old son actually ASKED ME to take him!

I totally agree. I've been consistently shut of tix for NY/NJ/Philly for the past 3 tours, but had great luck with the snail mail tix and it seemed all 10C members got tix. Even if the snail mail system is unfeasible to bring back, there has to be a better way to ensure more 10C members get tix (1 pair per member for 1 of the 2 Philly shows). Does anyone know if the band (or anyone close to the band) know about this situation?
I also agree with the guy who said he won't be renewing his 10C membership. I've been mulling it over for years myself and since I really don't care about 45's I can't play I don't see why I pay $20 a year for the frustration of NOT getting tickets. I'd rather use the $120 or so I've wasted on the past few years where I didn't get tix and just give that money to a scalper so he can wait infront of a computer for hours buying tix.
I've been a 10C member since 1993 and have never EVER not been able to get tickets to a show - I even got third row for Benaroya - until today. WTF was up with the screwedup system, constant error messages, blah, blah, blah? Sad to think it will probably be easier to get tix at the general public sale - or just by hanging around the venue at show time. MAJOR disappointment. HUGE waste of valuable time. Somebody screwed up in a MAJOR way, and it wasn't the people trying to buy tickets, and that's all I'm saying.
The bottom line is there are just too many fans in the Northeast and too few shows around the same time...too high of a demand for these tickets...more people will be disappointed than not. This is the problem with announcing these itty bitty tours and not disclosing the full plan IMO....its too bad they do it this way. I have no room to complain, I got the tickets I was after (London, Seattle 1-2), but they should have added a couple other shows on the east coast, their heaviest market...to alleviate this problem IMO. On PJ's side, they probably wanted to build a vicious hype for these shows...hard to please everyone...but I think a couple nyc and a couple boston shows would have solved this problem...maybe?
i left work early, logged on at 430 began trying at 5 sharp, got the fucking buy butting at least 20 times and got either error messages or sent back to the temp out of stock page....i dont understand
looks like iwont be going to philly since i cant afford regular tickets worth a damn and their ass raping charges on top of traveling and a hotel stay, i cannot believe i wasted 2 hours of my fucking life on this to be disappointed
You don't make sense when you say that you can't afford travel and hotel stay plus a pair of TM tickets, yet if you had gotten 10C tix, you would be all set. If you got 10C tix, wouldn't you still need to travel and stay in a hotel? What are TM charges, another $30 for 2 tix? If I were you I would still try for TM tix if you are really wanting to go.

I have NEVER, not once, been able to get tickets through pre-sale( last 3 tours) . This is the main reason I joined 10club. But there are other( more expensive) and less frustrating ways to get tickets! I will be there. What about a third Philly?
no luck on Shepherd's Bush?? I was/am bummed about Philly 2 as 10c always has the best seats and its nice to know you have your tix taken care of but there are other ways to get to the show (Just not as easy as this impossible sale was
