I got into Pearl Jam after my first show ,in Reading PA on the vote for change tour.
Since then, I have been to all the shows that are in my current sig. I was able to get ten club tickets for every show since Montreal 05 (except Irving Plaza & Lolla). Considering the fact that I have only been a member since 2005, my seats have always been great. Within the first 10 rows from the floor in the lower bowls at arenas, or in the first few rows of what would be level 2 at an amphitheater. Nothing too crazy, but certainly better than I would find on ticketmaster.
I was given the opportunity to see the band in Irving Plaza, just for being one of the first 500 or so people to buy the album at a certain location. Best show of my life.
I love the DEEP magazines, and they always put a smile on my face when i open my mailbox and see one.
Got every X-Mas single as well, with no problems.
for $20 a year, I couldn't ask for more. People have complaints, and some of them are valid, but this is just my personal story on how I have been treated by the official organization of my favorite band. No complaints here, and I look foward to a great 2008.
Just check out the Warehouse (DMB fanclub), or the Rolling Stones fanclub, U2 fanclub, Police fanclub, RHCP fanclub.. and it will make you see just how good we have it over here.
agreed

10C ROCKS!
i once missed a show due to SEVERE food poisoning and notified the ten club, in hopes of buying tickets to the next tour stop. they were great...not only did i get tickets, i ended up with great seats and a get-well email. they seem like genuinely good people.
i dig 'em....they do good work.

Someone touched on this in this thread, but I will reiterate: one of the cool things about these smaller shows Ed is doing and the Vic, etc. is not everyone is going to get tickets!
I wouldn't want them to raise the prices to what Metallica's are. I don't need someone there holding my hand while I try to get tickets. So what if the server crashes? That means everyone is being shut out right then so I just keep plugging away. It's actually better for me because people will come on here to complain about it which makes it easier for me to get tickets when the server is back up.
10c is pretty good actually, there not on par with Metallica which Ive heard great things about.... but still pretty stellar, cheap and sometimes extremely effective. We get opportunities at pretty cool limited sales and pre sale tickets, to me thats pretty good.
As for people being shut out of tickets and being a loud, boisterous bunch, theyre obviously just frustrated which is natural but it seems that most people arent thinking about the ratio of 10c members to the amount of available pre sale tickets.

i had a whinge(only a minor one tho) last year about getting the wrong region dvd iic,they did advertise it as a region1 or whatever,my fault i didnt understand about different regions,i was WRONG.i got an email from santos that they would send me a multi-region when possible,keep hold of the packaging i was getting a new disc,not only did i get new disc and case but i also got the molo sessions and a live in nyc on new years eve cd!!! so thankyou santos and 10c
I have been a member since 94.....the worst seats I ever had were 5th row, and I have sat first row 3 times.
You can rest assured that I am 100% hapopy with the Ten Club!
If the xmas single or the magazine is late, so be it!
I got shut-out of 10C tickets for the Eddie shows (luckily my gf got 10c seats), but if I had to get shut-out of a show, a non-seniority show at a small venue would be the one!

Not 10th on the floor, thatd be great though lol
I meant around 10th row in the wings on the side of the stage.
in proximity to seats on the floor, its usually between 20th and 25th row that is directly in front of me.
2005 - 9/15, 9/16, 9/30, 10/1, 10/3
2006 - 5/5, 5/12, 5/13, 5/27, 5/28, 5/30, 6/1, 6/3, 6/23, 7/22, 7/23, 12/2
