Ultimate Ten Club Ticket Policy Solution...
Here's a way to finally cease all of the complaints about the Ten/VHC and the tickets to the gigs... all the compalints about the seniority, the pre-sales, the gig announcements, the lottery, the web servers, the seat locations.. EVERYTHING.
...
Ten Club... STOP OFFERING US TICKETS!!!
Let everyone deal with the TicketMonster and scalpers on E-Bay, Craigslist and the sidewalk. This would eliminate all of the complaints.
Sure... the membership would drop because there are people here who are only here because they believe they will somehow get a front row seat at the gig... oh, well. I think the absense of their complaints would actually be a benefit, rather than a loss.
But... i will still be here. I think the Club is a good thing. I admit, i originally got in because of the tickets and I didn't have to deal with ChargeLine's busy signals or the corrupt cashiers at the TicketMaster Outlets in Wherehouse Record Stores who would set aside the good seats to scalp for a hefty profit... regardless of who the band was. Now, i just like the club. I like the Summer Single we get in the mail and the cool Newsletter... but 20 bucks a year... well, without the tickets... can you drop it to 10?
...
Then... after all those people leave, the club will be left with only the people who are here just because we love the band... me. And you can reward me by having a Club Member only gig at pizza joint across the street from me... because the pizza is really good... and it's across the street from me. And because I am still here.

all those in favor say I!!
aye or say?
I'm fine with it, Cosmo.
I'll still be here even if they took away the tickets...but that would mean no more shows for me because I always have bad luck with TM for some reason. :S
I'd start petitions on webcam shows at the Ten Club HQ so we all can log in!
Um...Ill shut up before I make things worse and ruin the quality of this thread.

I know... it's that whole 'Squeeky Wheel get the oil' mentality, right?
Well, when I'm faced with that situation, the squeeky wheel usually always gets replaced.
Hail, Hail!!!
I'm sure 10c gets far more good feedback than bad. I for one am eternally thankfull for 10c tickets and would hate to see them stop. The ability to purchase tickets for a show in another country and then to also know, no matter how good or bad the seats are, you'll probably be in the same spot as other committed 10c fans who appreciate the entire performance rather than those who just like the latest single, or are just going to call out for alive and evenflow all night and be disruptive and annoying during other songs. The fact I'll be able to find in my home town and abroad, preshow parties and events is great. This makes a MASSIVE difference to the enjoyment of a show.
Ignore those who are unfair with their criticism and get behind those who are fair, constructive and reasonable. There are more of 'us' than 'them' and there always will be.
Peace!
The real solution is to ignore the complaints on the board and just let Ten Club deal with them since they get paid to do so.
And for those who hate the system as much as they say they do, stand up for yourself and don't pay for it.

for the least they could possibly do
It never fails... even if you make a sarcasm burrito... and fill it with sarcasm peppers and sarcastic cheese... deep fry it in a vat of hot sarcasm... smother it with heavy sarcasm sauce and paint the word 'SARCASM' across it in sarcasm guacamole...
Some people STILL won't get it... huh?
Hail, Hail!!!
Except at maybe a better pizza joint!
Ha ha, my bad. I didn't even read your entire sarcasm burrito. I am used to reading people saying "no complaining, quit the club," etc...
