is it fair people join 10c just for better tickets?

on one of the crappiest radio stations-you know the type, their playlist consists of 2 black eyed peas songs, taylor swift, lady gaga, greenday and the newest techno/dance party/club song on the countdown, thats it for the hour with shitty djs talking absolute shit-and no i wasnt listening, my mother was! anyway this radio station was promoting pearl jams NZ dates hard out, they go on to telling everyone to quickly join 10c so you can get great tickets like all of us here would-this club is for hard core fans, people who live and breathe pearl jam, people who get a tingle down their back when mike cracks out an inspiring solo, when your screen name on every site is a reference to the band, when your home or room is plastered with memorabillia, when you would cry at the chance of meeting them in person, when you would cry at the chance of seeing them in concert(probably just me
), when every word that comes out of eddies mouth is like the word of god-we are the ones who deserve awesome tickets, this is gonna be my first time seeing them(i know i know! how can this be)
i am so excited but this puts a real damper on things. is it just me, am i being selfish or do you agree?
god it feels good getting this out there, be nice.

I'm sure most of us that are members are in it for the ticket benefits. The other stuff is just a bonus.
wow really? im a member so i know all the latest-ofcourse tickets and merchandise are a bonus.
A member to know the latest news? Couldn't you get that from not being a member?
To be fair, people on here are always complaining that 10C are the last to broadcast any news, so it's definitely not the main reason for me being a member.
Like SoS I'm in it primarily for the ticket benefits, anything else is a bonus.
That would rock if my 10c membership gave me a chance to meet them in person. Besides meeting them on the beach (don't need to be a 10c member to do that) the advantage of the 10c for me is getting wine bottles from Eddie during concerts.
What would be great is if the 10c membership gave us discounts to things...i always loved the onesies for all my friends babies.
From my first show in Hawaii when they opened for RHCP to upcoming 2016 MSG and Wrigley. Seen them in every continent except Africa and Antarctica.
10c ticketing hasn't yet been announced but I could totally see them set the cut-off date for membership qualification on the day the shows were announced (ie Sunday) rather than the day they announce the 10c tickets.
Sorry off topic. I joined 10c to support the greatest band of the planet!
cause by joining they might become better fans and better people
maybe they'll hang out here read and learn
theres really alot of good people here sharing info and thought
This douche isn't even a fan, and he scored better seats than me to see my favorite band, because he heard they sounded good?
The next morning I joined the fan club, not only to get more connected to PJ, but also to help eliminate these type of so called fans. I know I'll be in the back, since most shows are seated by seniority. But shame on me for not joining earlier.
And usually the site has a cut off date to join the club, to avoid situations like this.
All I know is I'm a proud member who was pissed b/c I missed out on tickets for night 1 in Philly! But scored night 2 tickets!!!
See ya in Philly.
I know loads of aussies and kiwis who will be chuffed PJ are playing big shows down there. Great news, you will have a blast.
Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.
As a kiwi 10c member this interested me indeed - because I'm unsure that our membership is going to grant us any benefits at a stadium, GA gig other than possible early entry? I'm hoping that radio station knows something that I don't, but I'm wondering how they can give us any priority unless (here comes the pipe dream) they have the rumoured D section at the front for 10c members. Otherwise it may just be early entry, which is gonna be a fat lot of good for me cause I'll be quite pregnant by that stage and not in any condition to fight to keep my spot at the front!!
I would love to see some kind of priority for kiwi 10c members but in saying that, I don't care if I have to stand in a field in the rain for three hours, I don't care if I don't get the best, closest view, all I care about is hearing those guys who have become a part of my everyday life rocking out, live. It's been a long 14 years since I saw them play their first NZ gig....hard to really believe the wait's nearly over...
In your opinion, what are the "fair" reasons for people to join the 10C?
So Ive jumping out of my skin with excitement with the new PJ tour announced in OZ so I could get my pre-sale tickets but guess what??? Ive just got them in a presale TODAY before theres even been a pre sale anounced through 10C. Whats going on there?
