Listen.

(pleace ignore spelling mistakes and concentrate on the content)

i'm going to say something from the bottom of my heart. please, don't be ofended, just take a few minutes to think about it.

If a person whos not familliar with PJ would take a look at this forum let me describe you what he'll think -

he'll think that the average age here is something between 60 - 80.
the reason ?
it is like the compaining olympics here. especially after the ED solo tour announcment.

you sound like a bunch of old poeple, bored with your life and complaining like a frastrated grandmother over anything possible.

poeple.
just say thanks. appreciate what you have. you dont DESERVE anything!!! nobody owns you ANYTHING. you get so much and still you sound like a bunch of old poeple in the clinic line waiting to your turn talking about meaningless stuff.

come on... be young.. have fun.. say thank you to this amazing band. stop complaining. it seems like some poeple here think that their 10C membership is like stock investment.
the day the band will start to do thing according to your opinions will mark the end of this band.



ok. you can start cursing me now...

    of course they owe us nothing

    but, we do pay dues, that makes us a member of the 10C

    that does give us a right to bitch and complain all we want

    this is still America, isn't it?

    ya know, Freedom of Speech

    and the right to ask for some type of explanation when things get all fucked up

    you just hit the nerve. this is exactly what i mean -

    freedom of speech is the best thing. i only say that i would channel this priviledge for other issues... other than complaining. you'll have all time in the world when you're 70 to complain. why waisting your youth for it ?

    Freedom of Speech applies to everything, not just what YOU decide it applies to

    btw: I did not cuss you out as you so blatantly asked for in your original post, did I?

    we're not disccussing freedom of speach here. we have no disagreement here.

    go ahead. be 80 at 18 (or however old u r). complain your life away. good luck with it.

    People need to take great stock of the original post.

    If you have a complaint raise in through the proper channels. what the fuck is the point in publicising your complaint to the whole world, to find support? is that really necessary? or does it feel better to get it off your chests that way?

    It baffles me, the only reason for the bitching and wingeing I can see is through sheer disappointment, but i repeat as I have before, when a band gets huge, I'm afraid that'll mean success and that disappointment here to there is unavoidable.

    In this case, granted they fucked up the money side, but that;ll be sorted. People need to stand back, look at themselves, and find something better to do, like email the people who run the site discreetly and directly getting their issues addressed as one would do in 'real life'. Unless of course you are the sort who likes to create a stir...and blow things up and do the good ol traditional mountain out of a molehill thing...

    I cant believe that the majority of the moaners actually got tickets too.....Now that is fucking nuts

    If no one posted the problems with the ordering system on the board (and only used what you call proper channels) I wouldn't have known about it. And since 10club doesn't seem to be commenting on this I think it is valuable to know that next time I try to buy tickets from pearljam.com there will probably be major server delays, and my credit card may be charged without me getting tickets.

    I agree with you. Maybe I should move to Israel, because at times like these, I am ashamed to be a whiny, spoiled American that gets everything.

    I think a common theme about the complaining is that when tickets go on sale, the site sucks big time. If people got shut out but it was via ticketmaster, it would be a different complaint, but not one where you're frustrated because you have tickets in your cart and then time out, etc. They just don't have the capacity to handle the load.
