Just thought I throw this out there for PJ and, all of us who raged against the machine.

Here's to hoping some of our community gets their money back!

    Yeah, and as much as I love "ticketmonster," my family has always referred to it as "Ticketbastard" which I like more :lol:

    Too bad the settlement is only $1.50 off of your next 17 ticketmaster orders.

    Here is the thing about TM. After seeing how 10club's servers handles the ticket sales for the Canadian tour so poorly and crashed so much that ticket buying took 3 days, then I am totally ok with paying the company that hosts the online ticket sale some extra bucks if it means the website works every time. I mean compared to 10clubs ticket sales it is hard to deny that TM provides a service.

    They have definitely gotten better, especially in terms of the hidden fees, which they are now required to show up front. Otherwise, they are still ticketbastard to me.

    We all owe it to ourselves, Pearl Jam, and anyone else who took a stand against these corporate fucks to take every penny we can from them
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    Except the only way to "take" their money from them is to do further purchases from them.

    you can get $$ back from your past purchases, dating back to 1999. Saw this the other day and wondered if any members of PJ heard about this and what they thought..

    @brother123...sometimes it's the little victories.

    Meant no harm or foul. Chill out.
