I'm not a habitual complainer, but thanks a lot. Arrrgghh.

By the way, I found out while trying to check out for Newark tix. Blerg.
I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    Exactly. Do you need people to tell you when to pay your bills and go to work? It's just personal responsibility. I feel bad that it happened to you, but it really is up to you to know this stuff.

    yeah that's tough for him but if he was smart he'd renew right now. I think there is a grace period you can have an expired membership before you lose your number. Mine expired once in 2001 (I didn't get that Christmas single) but when I did renew, I got my number back. This kid I know had a great number that used to get him 5th row tickets. he forgot to renew one time and now he's 400XXX

    If it important to you, I would think you keep it up to date. Not bad idea to buy a few years ahead. I'm good tell 9/7/2010

    When the tour announcement was issued, and it said you need to be an active member, that might've been a good time to check your expiration date. I think I looked at mine like 3 times to be safe. :)

    This is probably a dumb question, but how do you do that? Do you just pay the amount times how many years you want? I would totally do that.

    Really? I had heard about that but never tried it myself, so you can pay a few years in advance? Interesting.

    It really is our responsibility to track this ourselves. I feel bad for the bad luck of the original poster, but in the end he made a mistake and mistakes have consequences. One positive is that he/she will learn from this mistake. I wish him/her some good karma from a ten club member with an extra.

    kudos to those (like me) who typically pay dues far earlier than necessary.
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    Doesn't everyone get an email that it's going to expire? Maybe it's in his spam folder?

    I think they will be...

    At the time of Riot Act's release, Ed said something to the effect of "Pearl Jam is only half over"... so I really think they have big plans to stay together for as long as possible... or until (god forbid) a member dies... I can't see them replacing anyone... I think they would call it quits if that happened.... if we get another 5-6 albums I would not be surprised.

    I put a note on my daily calender every year the day I get it. I expire in November, what exact day, I don't know or care. November 1st rolls into town and I re-up. Every year for the last.....13 years.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
