Presale Complaints (sick of it)

i see sooo many negative posts on the board. it is troubling me because it is outweighing the positive. Pearl Jam is on tour! there is no perfect way for the ten club to get tix out. If PJ has a limited number, they put them up and its basically a free for all. Look at what other bands do, pearl jam has and always will go above and beyond for us fans. good luck with ticketmaster btw. I can not stand people killing the ten club. or telling the band to do this or that. can we just enjoy the fact they are coming to town and talk about that? The ten club is one of the best fan club's there is, and everyone is just spitting on it. Also, I have never gotten rejected on a presale (12/12)... trying getting a nice iMac people!

    couldn't get through for show #2, but accept that it is what is is. There's always ticketmaster... anyway, there are tons of people on trying to get a limited # of tickets. I'm just happy they have a presale and 10c members have the best seating. Even with my high #, there's always the lottery. I like the 10c. ;)

    I'm backing you up. I'm tired of the negativity on all fronts. So many people think the band owes them something. Good lord.

    i am going to complain to 10 Club that tickets to Buffalo don't go on sale until tomorrow. That doesn't work for me.

    I find the pollyannas more annoying. Yes, everyone likes PJ here. It doesn't mean these guys..and their fan club organization walk on water. It is a fact that the ticket situation went poorly today. I think people have the right to be annoyed. I don't see why people like the OP here think they have to do that "voice of reason" shit every time something bad happens on the board. People have been doing that for years here...the whole, "hey, be happy....Eddie took a steaming shit. It is a gift to us all".
  • Drowned OutDrowned Out Posts: 6,056
    lol @ metsy....
    The most annoying part of all of this is that everyone feels they should make their own thread....you don't even need the search function, people...there are a million similar threads on the first fucking page!

    at first I thought you were spreading your wonderful breadth of knowledge to all those not enlightened enough to see it like you do, but then I realized you are just an Apple representative trying to sell iMacs.

    Pearl Jam being on tour doesn't give me positive thoughts if I can't get tickets after hours of trying.

    Why enjoy the fact of them coming to town if you can't be a part of it?

    I think there's waaaaaaay too many threads complaining about the ticket system, but I feel pretty much all the complaints are justified.

    dude. you didnt need to spend hours. i dont know if this is your first time... but if you dont get tix within an hour of the onsale... your out of luck... second of all. Start reaching out to your fellow tenclubbers for possible extra tix. Also, ticketmaster is coming up, and after that theres always ebay? You'll get in man, just work at it. hey if i wanna use the word retards, freedom of speech. I had a tough time with presale too. it is hard to get tix no doubt, but dont cry about it!

    you know what... ill give you the golf clap, on building your own computer and scoring tix with it.... that is special... these are the things we should be talking about, not complaining... you da man

    what hippocrite statements? are you serious?
  • traveljunkietraveljunkie Posts: 663
    Well, I, for one, haven't been crying about it. This isn't the first time I've been shut out. I know I'll get in to MSGI, just as I got in to MSGII in 2008 when I was shut out. Just as I've gotten into any other show I've been shut out of and wanted to go to.

    I got Boston and MSG II today, but it was still a frustrating experience.

    And as for you declaring that if tix aren't had in the first hour that "your" out of luck: wrong. There were still tickets after 7pm for MSGI - 4 hours after they went on sale.

    * shrug *

    eh, you probably make veggie burgers. Oh and I bet when you serve it to some one you put a little personalized note on the bun with a little tidbit of advice. Oh, and do you use a toothpick with a little american flag on it to hold the note to the bun?

    :lol: I don't think I want one of those burgers! Damn Apple reps always promoting something, I sware.
