Have you read the band interviews? They seem to have been done 10 min before pressing. This is a content issue, but I saw not much effort put into it. MHO

Funny you mention the ads....

It would seem logical that they had planned on it being sent a wee bit earlier, eh?

Dear Ten Club´s Staff, good morning.

I don´t know what are happening...but there are many wrong things.

I´m membership and I really like to buy the limited package of bluray but I CANNOT.

Why?

Because the ten club is making the things wrong... I pay 50 bucks for has the right to buy exclusive GOODS... but i can´t. There are many othe people that isn´t membership, buying exclusives produtcs and selling it on ebay.

BACKPACK, BLURAY, POSTER, TSHIRT, VINYL...... but i can´t get tuned in all the day for new products. I need to work for paying the products i want from pearl jam.

If the product is limited... only one for member... and if I cannot pay now for that... I HAVE THE RIGHT to buy on next month... BECAUSE THE EXCLUSIVES PRODUCTS ARE ONLY ONE FOR MEMBER.... but unfortunately.. it isn´t happening !!!!!!!!!

I´m really sorry for it... there´s no concern with us... equal many years ago....

Today it happen like this : Drop the flesh on the cage and the lions are going to catch them !!! and fuck the cats !!!

Something must be done now !!!!

Thanks,

Fernando Geraldi.

I thought this was a joke post.... and then I have read on amd I must have been mistaken.... so.... I'm gonna join in....

why the hell cant I buy Benaroya Hall in vinyl, still sealed. I didnt buy my copy at the time so I want to buy it now. Oh, and Lost Dogs vinyl and Yield Vinyl. Its atrocious that I cant buy the limited edition items as surely you kept one copy of each in the warehouse, with my name written on a sticky post it, reserved for just lil' old me JUST IN CASE I decide i want to buy it. Well. Now I do. Can I have it please. Oh, and since its taken me so long to send the message, can I have them for free? you have my home address. Thanks

thanking you in advance,

Neil

PS, carry on the good work. I dont have a bad word to say...

Not sure if the club cares, but obviously they create bad blood. The only way it changes is either people quit the site in mass or the group quits with the hiring friends crap.

i joined july and hate to wait a full year....big whoop...yeah, it's cool, but not worth getting worked up over.

nor is a blue ray, or any movie for that matter.

people have lost sight about what rock and roll is all about....it's about beer, weed and GOING to the show...not about some movie or book about shit you already know.

Seriously...
Can you imagine a new fan club member....Maybe 16-18 years old...
That $25 he sends in to join the club is A LOT of money!!! Right??
He probably had to make sure it was OK with his folks....Right?

Then the poor kid has to wait almost 2 FUCKING YEARS to get his single and magazine??

How DARE the 10club treat members like that....

Another band that I am a fanclub member turned it all over to LiveNation which is very impersonal, tons of merchandise shipping problems, the website now sucks, people have left their online forum in droves. I think they have realised that the fanclub is just a very small portion of the fanbase, not worth bending over backwards for. Anyone can go on their website to order stuff. They do have a few limited edition merchandise offerings, but for the most part it is a money-making machine - out to sell the most of their "limited edition" boxed sets.

I don't mind getting the mag whenever it shows up. I kind of like the mom and pop feel of this fan club, I like that there are actual people running it that will answer emails and pick up the phone.

Its a business...
Its BIG BUSINESS!!!!
They are making TONS and TONS of money......

They should be held accountable for how they run their business.....

12 hour debacles to purchase tickets???
16-18 month wait for singles and magazines that were PROMISED to us when we joined the club??
3 months to deliver goods....That you can purchase on Amazon and have delivered in 48 hours??

And its nothing personal...
But business is business....
We as customers should be treated with RESPECT.....

They could very easily turn it over to someone like LiveNation to make sure that the tickets are sold quick and efficient and have more merchandise sold a lot easier and make a lot more money off of it that way too.

But I think the band doesn't want it that way, they don't want it to be a big business thing, they want it to be a homegrown thing run by friends. It keeps them closer to the fans.

cool, it hasn't happened yet. i get to be "that guy" and say:

JUST DONT RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP, THAT WILL TEACH THEM

i can understand the dissapointment in the white backs spacer....orginally sold out in 2.5 hours...before multiples were pulled from orders and resold.

i can't understand the bitching that comes not buying something that was on sale for a month.

I cant understand why 40 year old people would want a packback...
I cant understand why people need an album because its a different color.....
I dont even know what blu ray means.....

I know, you'd think Stone himself was gonna jump out of the backpack with the hype around here....
White album? Maybe it looks trippy in a blacklight, but mine is in a box somewhere since college...
Blu ray looks great, but isnt most of the footage of PJ20 shot on a VHS camcorder 1991-2000? Should make much of a difference Blu ray or regular..

Sometimes I think fan clubs have outlived their usefulness. 20 years ago a fan club was your only way to connect with the band outside of going to a show. Without message boards, websites, digital music, etc, a fan club provided you with information, music not found anywhere else, and some cool merchandise. Now all of this can basically be found for free or, in the case of merchandise, on any one of thousands of websites. The Ten Club and other fan clubs now exist solely to make money off of die-hard fans and in some cases sell better tickets to the shows. The reason I'm still in this club is for access to tickets, but since they never play my state anymore, I haven't been able to take advantage of that privilege in quite a while.

I remember a few years ago Trent Reznor started a NIN fan club complete with t-shirts, access to good tickets, premium merchandise, and a fancy membership card. Then after about a year or so he realized that running a fan club was not worth it both for him or the fans, and just let it die. After that, I still got good tickets via pre-sales by joining a free mailing list.
