EDIT: Can it really be getting that much more expensive to produce vinyl? Is the the band just offering fans who really care about vinyl a tad more to offset the costs? Perhaps its not so evil. Hey you want vinyl, its gonna cost a bit more, and we will throw in a few extras. hmmmmm.............
It must have cost the 10c a fortune for this years fan club vinyl single...Oh wait...We never did get one this year..

Im just trying to see the "bright side" of things. From what I understand there are only a few places that manufacture vinyl and they are in great demand.
But at the end of the day, like I said, what stinks is the creation of two "classes" of fan club members-regardless of the fact that its only $20. The money is definitely not the issue for me. Just charge for the vinyl (whenever its available) or raise the fan club fee across the board.
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
I've been a member too long, and membership is the only way I ever got tickets, so since I'm due to renew, I've taken the tier two and I'm not going to stress about it. I'll miss getting the mail ... I really liked the mail; but in the big scheme of things, I don't *really* need to acquire any more "things," so I'll just satisfy myself with access to the music. Ten Club really is a business, after all, and I'm sure that the people who decide on the analog option will ultimately be happy about it. It's nice to have choices.

$50 is a lot of dosh. I'll pay it... but wish more was being offered for the privilege. Not bothered about a hard copy of Deep if a .pdf is available and I'm a bit 'meh' about the t-shirt.
More up to date news/merch/limited edition goods would be good!
Happy New Year all.
I really don't understand why this is such upsetting news.
Everything goes up in price. The Ten Club is now giving us a choice, based on personal preference
and if the increase is too much or you don't agree for whatever reason, then don't renew.
Change happens. No complaints. Not sure which I'll take - I don't have the means to play vinyl, so I don't need a vinyl single, but will appreciate an mp3. Would like the opportunity to download a free bootleg - the shirts don't usually fit me, or rather man's cut shirts don't look good on me since I'm small, though a new shirt is nice, and Deep I can read digitally though its nice to get the mag in the mail. I have a while to make up my mind.
This all just gave me an idea for how to offset rising costs in the small business I run... so thanks!

It's seems pretty simple.
99% of us are members of this club for the 10club tickets....Right??
We pay our $20 a year, with the hopes of getting decent tickets to the next show we go to....Right???
There is an option to pay that same $20 a year...And get our precious 10club tickets....right???
So in other words....
DONT give the 10club the extra $20 they are trying to milk from you...
And life goes on....
Right???
People have the option NOT TO GIVE the 10club the extra $20....Right???
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Exactly.
It is Our option to upgrade Our individualized membership, not a mandatory increase with no other option. And I think it is a good idea, some want more than others, and the Ten Club has listened and responded accordingly.
The ticketing portion of the membership hasn't changed one bit, or as far as I can tell.
Ah, I've missed this place! Starting to feel like home again. I was going to log in here for a bit of New Year's eve banter last night - but when I saw that email I thought 'no f*ckin way am I setting foot in the message pit with this announcement!'

No, most of the loyal hardcore fans are in it also for the vinyl. That's very conveniently being put in the "PREMIUM" box when it's something that was a given item for *any* fan club member. Put the t-shirt, bootlegs and other crap in the PREMIUM option. But what happens then? No one will buy the PREMIUM option and their business falls apart.
I don't give a fuck about anything but tickets and the vinyl. Most people don't.
Also fans from poorer areas of the world (lets say Indonesia for example) are going to have to go without food for 2 weeks instead of 1 or sell a kidney if they want the vinyl because of this bullshit money whoring trip PJ and TC is on.

I like getting the vinyl and I like getting the hard copy of deep-whenever they decide to show up. I understand costs increase. I dont really have a huge problem with a 100% increase to get the same exact same benefits plus a t-shirt-the fee has always seemed like a bargain to me (especially compared to other fan clubs). Its been awhile since they raised the price hasn't it? I guess its good that there is an option to retain the right to try for tickets and not have to pay more.
Something about tiered memberships just rubs me the wrong way.
holy cow...the firestorm over $20? Really? Settle down peeps...
Analog all day - to all the complainers: sorry this is ripping your checkbooks and moral principles to shreds...
I'd like to express some gratitude to the folks @ 10C for all they do and I'd love to remind people to be THANKFUL this great fan club exists and doesn't ROB U BLIND by charging $100/yr for nada...
Wow - to those threatening to leave the club, sorry u feel that way. Hope to still see ya at shows. My location in the building just got that much better
Embrace an attitude of gratitude, it will help u process that in the scheme of everything going on in the world, the same 20 u'd blow on booze, scratchoffs, smokes, magazines @ the airport this price hike is petty and TRIVIAL.
If there is a thread of all the complainers THANKING PJ for every year memberships never increased, kindly point me there so I can apologize to those I've offended.
Happy New Year
Thx PJ and 10C and all off you in this great community.
We're talking about a fan club membership for a rock band. It's a luxury item. They go up in price. Pay it or don't, but save the self-righteousness for your next town meeting. Sheesh.
I too renewed about two weeks ago...Can I pay the $20 difference...??? I am confused...
Thanks 10c for all you do for us...(and for you bitching about $20...it's a free country, pay it, or don't, but this constant bitching is old...I bet most of us have $20 in quarters laying around the house...)
i don't get the bootleg download option? Is this for the 2008 - 2010 boots or eventually boots released in the future?

I don't know why but I somehow continually manage to be shocked at the response of apologists around here. They are charging you MORE money. How is that a good thing? How about they send us our freaking holiday single around the holidays before charging us more for it? I would gladly pay the extra money if it meant better communication but we all know they will never do that. Green disease up in here!
I don't care, I will pay it!!!!
As will I, I think The bootleg offer and the t-shirt make the increase worth it for me.

But have no fear...
As of now, you are in 1st place for...
MOST RIDICULOUS comment of the year........
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I tried to read thru every pg of this thread but got tired of all the whinny responses , People you either pay to increase or you stay at the same level it's an option not a Demand i have Zero problem with this ....
Folks I've been paying up since 93 and will keep going till the End Of this when ever that may be , See you guys at the Anniversary shows ..
