I renounce my Ten Club membership Effective Immediately???

JF92898

I’ve been a member of the Fan Club for almost ten years. I’ve never ONCE purchased tickets to any New York show since the Ten Club switched over to On Line orders. I’ve never had the chance although trying numerous times. I now feel silly for doing so. The fact that the Ten Club cannot provide a website with the requisite bandwidth to handle the number of people attempting to buy tickets is a joke. It’s negligence.

The newsletter is nice and the “Holiday” single is fun. But the only reason I pay $25 a year is to gain access to fan club tickets. I refuse to pay $25 a year to read “The server at secure.pearljam.com is taking too long to respond.” What's the point?

I've been duped.

I'm with you. See my thread called "IF". I think the band owes us a refund of membership fees or the chance to get tickets fair and square.

Hope your number is better than mine!

I LOVE my TC membership, at least our ten club numbers get better every time all the whiners get outta here!

I thought the fee was 20?
.... it was nice exchanging comments with you on the board.... I've heard that Creed doesn't have these type's of issues on there website. The fee over there is $10 or so, you should consider.

Take care!

In regards to tickets, the band provides you with a first-come, first-serve pre-sale opportunity. If the server ONLY crashed for you, then you're right - you would have been duped. Since everyone is trying to get on at the same time, everybody is equally disadvantaged by the pathetic server. Thus, you are no better or worse-off than anyone else trying to get 10C tickets.

No but it comes down to the fact that they complain about it on the message board when they should just contact the Ten Club directly.

I got through, so I have no complaints regardless, but even if I didn't they go on-sale on Friday and would've tried then as well. Wish they would lock some of these topics. Ehh

Looking at the first few pages of the forum I don't think this guy is alone. Some action should be taken on the part of the band to make things right.

sweet, my 10C number just got one better!

the band doesn't HAVE to offer tickets in a presale do they?

Thegeneus

As a member since '93, I did get tickets once through mail order which provided the best seats that I ever had while attending a show (seen every show in the NYC area on all multiple days) but since this on-line bullshit, have not come close, always a fucking excuse with the server or after 4 minutes sold out. I’ve had enough; some of us have been there from the beginning, supporting the band in every manner as possible. This has to be rectified and easy can be, Based on Ten clubs records they should be able to figure out who has been a member from which time and offer tickets based on that information.

Enough is enough!!!!

They also don't HAVE to chanrge $20 - $25 for what most bands offer for free. In this day and age of file sharing I think every band should be kissing their fans' asses for sticking with them. They may not feel my $20 and the thousands of dollars I've spent on them over the years might not have made them rich but I don't think anyone should be taken for granted. The fact remains that they have my membership fees and I still have to go deal with Ticketmaster when they go on sale (oh yeah, remember when they didn't think dealing with Ticketmaster was fair to their fans?).
