Experience with 10C - sweet or sour?
I don't want to start a fight, and I'm really hoping people can post here respectfully.
Because of inadequate servers which lead to frustration when attempting to purchase tickets, and because of poor communication from the 10C in regards to upcoming tour dates/releases, (if it's the band's communication with them that's poor, then 10C in my eyes still holds the responsibility to channel our frustrations in the band's direction), my overall experience with 10C has been sour, and I will withdraw at the end of 2010 if this doesn't change (before people inevitably say "then quit"). I'm interested to hear from other people on their opinions. Please keep this light, and end with whether your overall experience has been sweet, or sour

It's been all sweet for me. I've received a second chance to buy tickets to shows I wanted to go to, I've never been shut out of a 10c presale... it's all I wanted out of them and I get it nicely

SMELL YER MA!
I think everyone who craps their pants about no info loses sight of the fact that holding things close to the chest is how this band rolls. I know we're hanging out here in the age of Twitter and Facebook and blogs updated constantly, so we just sit around drooling waiting for more 1s and 0s to stream into our eyeballs, but Ed still writes his songs on a typewriter for crissakes!
I have been guilty of expressing dismay at a lack of information. Sure, they could throw a bone... at least something to show they're paying attention sometimes, but historically, they're not that far from the norm.
All things considered, I reiterate: sweet, even when I was shut out of the (then) last show at the Spectrum.
The only minor gripe I would have is for The Minister of Information, the way news and tour info is delivered and handled on this site leaves a lot of room for improvement. But overall, much much more positive and sweet than sour!
recent examples:
Chicago night one rafters
San Diego-having to wait for fucking ever to pick up 10c tickets
"banned for life"
Sweet- posters, tickets and other shit like that.
Overall- $15 or $20 I am going to continue to pay. Will also continue paying for my newborns.
2008- Boston I+II
2009- Toronto, Philly III+IV
2010- Bristow, Hartford, Boston, Newark
but for the most part, I think the 10c handles things well and any time I have had a problem, they have been
quick to fix it.
so sweet it is.

a few minor frustrations in the past, but overall Im happy....
Everything this says for me too. I've had a gripe in the past and felt stupid for moaning but you should always post sober! Why complain about petty things, if there was something to tell us they surely wouldn't keep it back because it wouln't exactly make them look professional. I let my membership slip a long time ago and one of the reasons was because I never recieved any Deep mag or 7" but hey, I'm over it now and got my tickets for June!!
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
note: i don't ever buy 10c merch. dunno why but i never have.
well...when they fucking lock the other ones then i guess it is!
my biggest beef is the bullshit way they announce tour dates.....but i guess that's just how they do things now......and not touring the US but then they do Europe...AGAIN!! that's fucking bullshit! how about touring the country that made you rich first...your fucking home!!*whistles star spangled banner*..........fuck Europe!!...they have a million of their own bands to go see!!!............ok.........i'm done.
I Won 10th Row lotto for night 1, Night 4 seats were pretty good. I still pay it every year, so....:thumbup: :thumbup:
They get appreciated in europe, they get a crowd and a half.....I understand from a few guys who hit the seattle shows in 2009 after the euro dates that it was an amazing contrast,..the us shows being totally devoid of atmosphere.
so where would you rather play on that basis?
plus Eddie may have mentioned before you need to go where the exchange rate returns good coin......oh shit, allow the whining to begin again
well...pdalowsy...i'm from Boston...not Seattle...and i will put our crowds against ANY CROWD ON THIS PLANET!!....America taught the world how to rock n roll...don't forget it!...& Seattle is full of coffee shop assholes who think they are too cool to yell and have a good time....no such problem in Boston dude....Ed has said we are one of the loudest crowds he plays for....many times!
i mean...do you really want to count how many times they have played in Boston compared to how many times they play in your country?....it's no contest!
-Locking threads is complete BS
-Untimeliness of everything - holiday single and deep mag
-No benefit from ordering products from 10c instead of retail - Target and Backspacer Vault downloads
-Being the last place on the entire web to post data we end up knowing for days from other sites
-Announcing tour dates - that was such bs last year when the two night in Philly 10/28 and 10/30 two weeks later turned into two more nights - I would have only of had to miss work for 1 day instead of 3 if they just announced them all at once
-The 10c website compared to the rest of the wold is way lame
sweet
-Talking to all you friendly folks
-Getting presale tickets
-Getting better seats at venues
-Making VINYL available again for each release including 45's
-The holiday single
-Deep magazine
-The way the 10c personel go above and beyond to answer any questions and help with any needs
-The way the 10c personel go above and beyond to answer any questions and help with any needs
-it only cost $20

yeah but you guys get seats.....without wanting to start the whole GA argument, if you havent tried the european experience your missing out.....its mental....
oh and America taught the world how to rock and roll? really?
not forgetting zeppelin, the stones, bowie, the who, the kinks,sabbath, motorhead the sex pistols or to a small degree the beatles eh? its fair to say although the amercians started the early notion of rock and roll, the brits shaped it pretty damn well
as for the tour announcement
does anyone think they dont want to tell us?
or maybe they just dont have the info/are not allowed to say anything till a certain date
eh...i'm not into having some sweaty fuck jump up and down rubbing against me all night...or holding my piss till my bladder burts....i like having a seat...so i can sit and smoke when betterman comes on!
and one word....ELVIS!! he was the king baby! (i love Zeppelin!!! ) yeah...you guys have done well....but none of those bands blew up untill America embraced them!
yeah...shit music seems to be the wave of the future....here and there!

Question for any who didn't answer sweet - if you're so upset, why patronize the club? Take your $20 and go see a movie and (maybe) get some popcorn. This isn't a business model in the traditional sense - they do no recruitment, probably won't bat an eyelash at any lost revenue your complaints may bring, and certainly have not instituted any sort of suggestion box.
