Well my number is 189xxx. Last year at MSG that had me on the floor but back a bit behind the divider. I'm pretty sure that the people who got nose-bleed seats last night are people with their number in the 300xxx range or higher so I'm not worried.

No it doesn't. Go re-read the fine print.

You seriously want me to believe that I have paid 50 bucks every year to have the option to get the best seats to a Pearl Jam show, and I got tickets that (potentially) I could have gotten BETTER seats through a radio presale password, and I should just be OK with that? That's the problem I have.. I could have had BETTER seats if I purchased them through a radio presale. That's sad..

Because I've never posted here doesn't mean:

1) I haven't been a fan, gone to concerts of theirs, been a member etc as long or longer than you
2) Posting here, about this specific topic, could mean that I simply wanted as many people who could correct this problem, seeing the massive issues they had last night.

Cool. Maybe Ed Vedder will invent a flux capacitor, and the 10 Club can go back in time and give you seats on the front row. That's the only possible way to "correct the problem."

Or we could be honest. You came here just to bitch. Not to enlighten.

Look, the Ten Club can only give out the tickets they are given. I'm 99.9 percent sure they didn't go, "Well, we have all these lower level tickets to give fans, but fuck 'em. Let's stick them in the nosebleeds."

Nobody's trying to screw you. You just went to a show with an overwhelming number of fan club members and a limited number of prime fan club seats. Shit happens. Next time, go to Salt Lake City.

My number is in the low 100s, and I sat in the 300 level rafters.

I'm pretty sure you only pay 20 bucks a year to have the option to get the best seats at a pearl jam show.

REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It's funny; the Ten Club gets extra tickets and people bitch, but if they had sold out quicker from the Ten Club because they only got the floor seating and the side wings, then people would still bitch. The Ten Club is really in a lose-lose position with this one.

So to the original poster, would you have been happy with getting shut out of Ten Club tickets? Because that is the solution to your problem. The Ten Club sells less tickets.

I'm not paying 50 bucks every year to simply be "there"; I was paying that amount to have the best seats (as Pearl Jam clearly advertises in their membership purchase) to actually see one of my favorite bands and not see ants on the stage from my seats.

If you're paying 50 bucks a year then you do have a legitimate complaint. Last time I looked 10C membership was $20 for US members. They don't make their profit from membership fees.

You are 100% correct.. I came here to bitch. I came here to bitch because I pay 50 bucks every year, and got seats that were worse than what I could have purchased through Ticketmaster.

As I said..

It's blatently obvious that the 10C way oversold their allotment of tickets, and fans of Pearl Jam were screwed. That's not screwing people, that is just simply wrong. That's all.

No. 1 --- If you're paying 50 bucks every year, you're getting ripped off. It only costs $20. Until a few years ago, it was $15.

No. 2 -- It's not like the Ten Club gets to go in first and get every single prime seat in the venue. They are allotted a certain amount on the floor. Period. Any overflow has to go elsewhere. Sorry you were overflow. Should have joined the club earlier (like when it was $15). Or gone to Salt Lake City.

No. 3 -- If the only reason you are in the fan club is for the tickets, it's probably a waste of money. They don't tour all that much. Frankly, I'd pay $20 a year just for the Holiday Single. But that's just me. I'm easy.

Again, you don't pay 50 bucks a year...you pay 20. But if you're number is in the low hundreds like you said, and you had to sit in the 300 section, that's BULLSHIT.

pjbugs007

If you # is in the low 100,XXX and you were in the 300 level..you got screwed..no doubt bout it..

mrvedderson

i have a high number 428xxx......sat in the rafters.......had a great time......everyone around was on their feet and cheering and singing..............feel sorry for the people that cant get over themselves about their seat............

IlliniGuy76

1) It was a mis-type on my behalf.. I apologize.

2) My concern is that fans who have been in the 10C for years, with lower numbers than people posting here, were screwed. When you have the general public getting better seats.. that's a problem. If you wish to trivialize the concern, so be it.

I find that extremely hard to believe.

Just like you don't pay $50 a year for membership dues, also not true.

You paid money for a ticket to the show.
You got a ticket to the show.
In fact, you saw probably the best show of the tour so far.
I don't see how you got screwed.
And, instead of reveling in the fact that you saw probably the best show of the tour so far, you are on here the next day bitching about it.

What a miserable person you must be.

You are probably too young to remember, but there was a time when it was nearly impossible to get any ticket to a Pearl Jam show, period. My first show, I had to call this crappy phone-in line to get tickets. ME and 10 of my friends all tried. I was the only one to get through. The max you could buy was four tickets. Six of my friends were shit out of luck. They would have been happy to sit in the nosebleeds.

He probably just mis-typed his 10C number, too.
