The 10c tried to do the right thing by moving to a 3rd party provider to resolve problems of the past. Unfortunately it backfired.
I think both crowdsurge and the 10c could have handled this better with more communication. The lack of communication is what would annoy me the most.
I was lucky enough to get tickets within 30 minutes of them going on sale. I had similar problems a few months ago when buying tickets through ticketmaster. When there is demand systems melt down. There is only so much load and bandwith these ticketing systems can use.
Hopefully communication goes out to everybody in a timely manner so they can get tickets before the public sale.

Hi,
I like your positive attitude...But, what would have you posted...If you hadn't got tickets today?...But, yeah maybe the 10c can come up with a better solution...I just can't wait to all the fun once their a U.S. tour...Fun fun fun..
As long as they get this all figured out by the time US shows go on sale I'm ok.....just kidding of course.
But if the 10C is using another company to manage ticket sales from now on can they please use Musictoday. The company started by Dave Matthews Band's manager Coran Capsahw. I don't know what all of the legal ramifications of using musictoday would be. I don't know if it's even possible but atleast do something along the lines of what DMB does.
Server disruptions and hitting F5 for hours and hours and even days is just plain ridiculous. First come first serve is bullshit. Whose connection is fastest is bullshit. Who is lucky to get through is bullshit.
Have a ticket request period, 1 week or so. Then have a computer generated lottery to decide who gets tickets to each individual show. Easy, stress free and fair. Either this or go back to index cards. And I don't think the 10C wants to go back to index cards and money orders. We would still get to request as many shows as we'd like. Once confirmed for tickets the seats would still be arranged by seniority. PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY!!!!
This website is really a joke...I mean enough now..same shit over and over now with different companies that seem to also suck
The only reason I keep my membership is the chance at a hometown fan club show like Irving plaza..otherwise the membership is a waste.....nothing comes on time and it's one mistake after the next
Time for some people who can fix this job and get it right....because the people now are not working
Sad 10 c...maybe pearl jam should have not gotten greedy and stopped giving memberships after 450,000
People supporting this club for 20 years get to sit for hours on end and waste time :roll:
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
i was so lucky...finnish berlin-stocholm at less a min..my tour buddy after an hour told me she cant get tix,,for the rest,,oslo,copenhagen...i just refresh once and bought them again in less than 1 min..
i use chrome and went to internet cafe for better speed...sorry for the rest..
but think positive,,u will score..they will fix it i hope..
if not..there is always spares..
Di..your positive attitude isn't working here ..the system sucks..yet you got every show ...give me a break

We in Asia are glad we do not have 10c ticket pre-sale problems like this. We dont even have a chance to use this 10c privilege. Not even a rumor that they are going here.

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I wonder if my tickets will still be in my cart tomorrow...
I'm still trying for 3 shows. The only good thing about this sale delay is I can continue to sweet talk the wife so she won't be as angry when she finds out that we're going to Europe this summer...If we get tickets.
If tickets were still in carts, mine would by now contain about 15 pairs.... Can't tell you how often I managed to get a pair in there, only to see the timer countdown as I was unable to checkout because the system kept telling me my cart was empty...

Tickets for PJ20 in AV: horrible. 6 or 7 hours... A nightmare.
Tickets for 2012: Crowdsurge suck but got tickets. In sept I've used CS for The Black Keys in Milan... Everything's ok. This time, w/ Pearl Jam, everything suck. But, after 1 hour, got tickets.

So at least five years and still no improvement? Hmmm...

Why didn't I go on O2 for my mobile provider? Can't say no news is good news. Balls to 10C we'll be battling it out with everyone else for general sale despite legitimately buying tickets 4 times last night..... So disappointed.

10 Club should provide early access wristbands to members regardless of where they get their tickets from, it would be the only decent way to solve this issue.

Update From CrowdSurge: We will be working throughout the night to diagnose the problem that occurred during today's pre-sale. Check back for updates.
I guess it's ok to try to get some shut-eye and be back here in a few hours...
