    What's wrong with you people??

    no new album since last tour would be my first guess, plus bad economy, probably not as many people hitting many many shows, lol.

    I know. People are seriously crazy.

    they do realize that this is a FANCLUB sale, correct?

    MOST of the population arent crazy fanclub members like we are.

    the tickets will sell out.....when they go ONSALE. Chicago in 06 was available for a few days, and they still announced a second show...while the first still had available tickets.....

    Yeah, really. This one happened really quickly. Pearl Jam is definitely not on the radar right now for a lot of people. There is no new album in the near future. They didn't tour last year and haven't ventured south in quite some time. Plus, most summer tours have been announced around this time so I imagine a lot of people's memberships expire in Feb/March. Fortunately, I stumbled into the message pit to see the initial 'Tweet'. I saw my buddy at the bar on the 19th and I said, "I think PJ might be announcing a tour, I would renew your membership ASAP". Luckily, he renewed right before midnight. He was literally minutes from being excluded.

    I was shut out of a few shows. First I got shut out of the Cleveland show. I also got shut out of Boston 2 but got lucky when they released a couple of extra pairs a couple of days later. And I got shut out of the Vic, Irving Plaza and the Borgota shows.
    Also without anyone getting to crazy you must realize that Pearl Jam aren't as big as they once were. The were much bigger in '98 than they are now.

    There was no 10c sale for Irving. If you wanted to go you had to wait outside Tower Records, like I did for 30 hours.

    i will make a logical deduction.........everyone is waiting to purchase tickets to the northeast shows. once the tickets are sold out, in the northeast, then everyone will purchase the southern shows.

    I'm deeply saddened that I can only go to Columbia. I really want to go to Tampa but that would make me out of town 3 times in a week and I just can't afford it.

    I'm hoping for more shows..please play Atlanta.

    Tickets never sell out right away, except for smaller shows and MSG usually.

    yes....and once 10c members get shut out of the show they want to attend, then the florida shows will sell out of 10c tickets.

    Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me

    These shows didnt sell out in the first day because there is little demand for Rock music in Florida....Miami is the new "hip hop" capital of the US....the overwhelming majority of the population will not get excited over a Pearl Jam show. I also suspect the Ten Club Members from the South have long given up on their memberships due to inactivity and did not opt to travel to other parts of the country to see the band.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    I did my part and got a pair for Columbia. I'm driving down from Raleigh, NC. Haven't seen the band since 2003 in Tampa/West Palm. The tickets are more expensive but hey I haven't seen them in 5 years so I've save an extra $25 in that time.

    I did my part and will be flying in for one day to see the show in West Palm Beach.

    you do not actually same $25.......you just get to spend the $25 on something else.....well, that is how i view it for myself.

    Not sure if this has been said already, BUT.... here's my thoughts...

    ...unless you are a regular lurker at message pit you would have had zero advance notice to get your memberships in order and some may have expired...

    ...also, this last weekend was a holiday weekend, so many people that only access their computers at work are just finding out about thing today...

    ...and the fact that there was apparently some sort of delivery error from 10C in regards to emailing the tour info may have played a role...

    ...and lastly... THEY"RE NOT PLAYING THE RIGHT VENUES.... IF THESE WERE VENUES IN CANADA THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERVERS CRASHING LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE TO NOT ONLY SELL OUT THE SHOWS, BUT TO GIVE PEOPLE MORE TO B!TCH ABOUT!!! LOL...

    JUST MY INSIGNIFICANT THOUGHTS!
    Edmonton ~ September 2005 (Thanks for the tambourine Eddie!!!)
    Gorge ~ July 22, 2006
    Gorge ~ July 23, 2006
    EV ~ Vancouver, April 2, 2008

    I see no legitimate reason why people cannot keep their memberships up to date. IF it is impossible to gather $20 with one years notice, you have no business going to concerts and should be in 24 hour financial counseling.

    to me, thats a different story.

    they tour there every five years, so its no wonder those would sell out quickly.

    They sold 30,000 tickets for Arnhem in 2006.
    The year after, they sold 65,000 tickets for Nijmegen. Nijmegen and Arnhem are practically the same place!

    I think pearl jam does very well in Europe! Copenhagen sold out in minutes also. I am now talking public sales, not 10c presales.
