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

well no and yes... no they don't have to but they realise that not many people would pay money to join their fanclub otherwise... it's why the vast majority sign up to it.

and yes, cos it kinda says that when you read the membership benefits part of the main page.

HOW DO I GET TICKETS THROUGH THE TEN CLUB?
When a tour is announced, tickets will be made available to purchase at the Ten Club before they go on-sale to the general public. We will send all eligible members an email with the pre-sale ticket information. We will also make this information available in the NEWS and TOUR section of our site. Policies and conditions vary from tour to tour, so the most accurate information will be posted with a tour announcement.
We can not guarantee tickets for all fan club members for all shows, with limited restrictions and deadlines, but we do make them available whenever possible

I got the buy tab too - twice. And when I hit it "transaction failed." So quit giving people hope.

news flash! The band does not really care about any of us! To quote a bandmember "if you don't like it, then dont listen to it!"- that pretty much sums it up. Just because we like a band that for 15 years had a lead singer who was like an "open wound" doesn't mean that any of us have a personal relationship with an of them. Get over yourselves! IT'S JUST A ROCK AND ROLL CONCERT! :evil:

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!!!!

Wow I can't believe you had to wait a full 4 minutes. I'm sorry to hear that- You should write a letter to the President of The United States of America and ask that he introduce legislation that will regulate this type of network! You deserve better treatment!
Hope this means your giving up your membership!

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that all in mind next time they release an album. Maybe I'll start file sharing in honor of its release rather than shelling out the money I have been spending on their music.

Also remember that before 2003 we were limited to one show per tour. I've noticed a few people reminiscing about the mail order days, but there's no way they could go back to that process. It was okay in 2003 but the 10 Club ended up having trouble with the MSG shows due to so many requests.

And they should never bring seniority into play when it comes to your odds of getting tickets. You already get the best seats for the shows you got tickets for in the past, and now you want to take the chance at getting tickets away from other members?

I am feeling a deja Vu of tours past.

I know it is frustrating as hell...but, I really think that the Ten Club is doing their best and aren't intentionally fucking with fans. People are taking it personal if they don't get tickets...like the ten club has a vendetta against them.

Wait a minute........Are you actually suggesting that Eddie Vedder doesn't care about me.
Awwww shit. Now my life has no meaning.

Not ONCE? That's crazy. I've never been shut out online. I've bought tickets to every single show I've wanted to go to and then gone in and gotten more for my friends with their log-ins. It's really not that hard. You just have to be patient. Bandwidth is not the problem because all that would mean is that they would sell out faster. There are some tips to getting tickets. Have a look at some of the other threads on here. There might be something that will help, maybe something you're not trying.

I don't think it's the ten club. They are just the middle man for the band and management therefore they get the blame. Reminds me of a Baseball GM. The owners set a payroll and they aren't allowed to go over that. When the team comes across as being cheap, fans assume it is the fault of the GM when in reality it is the people above them.

Regardless of who is to blame it ultimately reflects on the band which is one of the few downsides to being a rock star I guess.

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.

instead of signing up to the message board to and using your first post to bitch about it, why not keep hitting refresh? its wasting energy and wasting time you could be trying for tickets..i got a msg "buy"tab 2 minutes ago..

I say this every time there is a ticket sale. The system, may be flawed but the time to complain about it is not while tickets are onsale. I got tickets to three Eddie solo shows while people were on here a half hour after tickets went on sale complaining. Sometimes it takes time. At least you are in your house at a computer rather than standing outside in line for hours.

really? the last time i got tickets from the 10c was in 2003. been shut out ever since (throw in an EV solo as well).

i am relying on ticketmaster/livenation these days much more than 10c.

It amazes me how much people complain. I never got shut out for tickets online. Maybe your commodore 64 and dial up internet service just isnt cutting it?

mikesbri

the more people complain..the more reason 10C has to not offer fanclub tickets anymore...
I hope this never happens.

And 80% of the people would leave. People wouldn't pay $20 for a vinyl and a deep magazine.
