I don't understand the mentality of people on this board sometimes.

and what do your friendly neighborhood Pearl Jam fans do? Tell them to get over it, quit complaining, and be happy they were even at the show. Wow.

Dude, I feel for you. That would suck. I have a 130,000 number and if I had those seats for the one show I was going to, I would be fucking pissed off, too! There should be no reason to make a mistake like that; the fan club has been doling out tickets for a number of years now, and if they can't figure out how to do the 4 lottery rows along with keeping all the non-lottery-winners in order by their number (SENIORITY remember?), well...they should be able to do it. And I hope this person with the unfortunate luck at least got an apology from ten club directly, if not something in return for having to pay to sit at the back of the reserved section.

Sorry you went through that and sorry people here are so unkind to other fans so often.

I appreciate your sympathy. And no, i haven't even got a reply to my daily e-mails I've sent since the incident let alone get a little something from them for the mistake.

I agree with you, he has a right to be pissed off - but shit happens. If Kat came on here and said, "Hey, some things got screwed up and we are really REALLY sorry!" what would it change?? You still had shitty seats and it is too late to fix it now. At least you know that you weren't alone and singled out...it happened to a whole group...accept that it was a mistake and get over it.

You are dealing with a small group of people (10C) that is trying to keep thousands of people happy...and that isn't always going to work.

Comparing the 10C to Disney is like comparing my 3 year olds Hot Wheel to a Mercedes Benz...

I truly believe that the 10C is doing the best they can. A lot of times they get it right...sometimes they don't - and then they get to come here and read bullshit from everyone....even the people who weren't involved.

What is the alternative? Folow the path of U2 and simply disband the fan club?? Let all the fans hope for the best with TicketMaster?? No thanks.

Some of you people are such babies, not only do you snatch up tenclub seats in other peoples cities, but then you complain that your seat is not good enough. For 20 bucks (15 most of the years) some of you act like the band owes you something and that it should be repaid by closer seats.

The tenclub can do whatever they want with the seating, and if giving people with high numbers a chance to be close for one show is such a big deal to you than you need to check yo self before you wreck yo self.

The tenclub is doing a good thing, giving the fans that have never been close a chance to be up front. Maybe the bad is just tired of staring at all the bald spots in the front row ;-) Those who are THAT upset can just not pay their 20 bucks next year.

What would you like? Complimentary pair of pearl jam socks? I hear they make great tissues.

The comparison to Disney is simply to point out what a world-class organization would do, what you might want to consider doing if you wanted to emulate the best in the biz, if you wanted to build and preserve a stellar reputation.

That's just the way I approach these things, seek to emulate the best....

If I wanted to build a guitar, I would track down the best luthier I could find to learn from -- not the kids at the craft camp building bird feeders....

i agree with you williedog about the "snatching up ten club seats in other fans cities". i kind of like the old ticket system, where you you could only buy fan club tickets to one show. i live two hours from las vegas, so that is the only time i get to see pearl jam. in 2000 for the 10th anniv. show i had 13th row center and it was awesome! then when they changed the ticket system i had seats on the side in the risers about half way back for 2003 & 2006. i have been a ten club member since 1995.

if you've got a number that low and only gone to two shows with fair seniority then there is something wrong with you............

It is now a week later and you are still here complaining? If I was them, I'd pull your tickets already as they sent the notes, and even if you didn't get a response you saw the form letter they will send. You almost had lawn seats is your major complaint but the fact is you didn't have them and be happy you didn't.......I've been to a few shows where people got better tickets off ticket master and it's just a fact of life.
