The Costa Rica Big Failure

I have been a fan since 1990 and one of the strongest reasons to love Pearl Jam was the non commercial-capitalist flag you guys stranded for. No videos, no buying tickets from ticket master, revel attitude towards pro-choice thoughts... and what for?????

I'm really dissaponted at your commercial contract with this company named Credix for the Costa Rica concert. Even being a Ten Club fan you can not get the tickets even with money, because this company makes you get a card and deposit money to their account before purchase... I'm totally disappointed at your new capitalist point of view and your gift shop, and all your "I need to make more money out of my fans attitude".

Vedder was a true model working on a fish market to keep it real... I hope you don't have to buy the food there with Credix too.

I'm lucky I heard you before and made my fan dream come true. Your new commercial strategy sucks.

    Call 8000-Credix and ask if you can pay with other cards.... they will tell you is not possible until sept 2. Anyhow I'm talking ideology and the thought that backs up the message.

    And is all about Costa Rica I guess.... maybe the position over "third world countries is different" I know no more about PJ... I love their music thou the message was really important to my vision about live and social building.

    Not sure why you haven't been able to buy tickets with your credit card. At this point my only concern is to how to pick up the tickets since I will arrive in San Jose on the Saturday and I understand that I must show up to one of these Credix stores to grab my tickets.

    I don't know if is a Region thing... I posted this same lines on my facebook hopping to get something from the CR people but all I got were likes and confirmation that this is true.

    I am really sad and I really don't know if you Ten-Club PJ crew know about this or if this was permitted by PJ contract clauses. Our country is really big fan and we have all been trapped in this company's strategy to collect capital.

    I see days going on and no ticket in my hand, I'm really frustrated.

    Maybe somebody on the administrative side, with the real PJ believe on the blood, can check this out.

    I followed PJ to LA and Paris and in my own country I cant get ahold to a pair of tickets.

    Well thank you all for letting me know you bought the ticket, can you please tell me where in CR you did? That will still a mystery I guess until Sept 2 Credix opens the market.
