Wife's hotmail account closed as a result of sabotage - I kid you not
I log on to Berlin (must have used them before as they have my email address, but I can't remember the password) they are still in the prcess of sending the reminder
I have 4 seats in my basket ( I wanted 3 standing ????) but can't delete them or check out because I need the password reminder. Cookies won't let me restart the process as I just go back to the basket.
Wife gets through using daughters email account and gets 3 seats (not great but probably nearer than we were for any South American show recently)
Were also accessing LiveNation and TM for MEN presale (for other family and friends) but no luck at all.
At least it was just the one hour today - but heh .... it all starts again at 9.00 am tomorrow for MEN public sale.

I'll not be going, I'll not be renewing my 10c membership, and I'll certainly never buy direct from 10c again (I get hammered for tax on goods coming in from the US but thought I was giving direct to the band so didn't mind).
Who got a "with apologies" on the bottom of their email? I certainly didn't, but hey presto! - there it is on the bottom of the news item on the main website. Wtf?
I'm feel really let down. I wonder if the band know what has gone on here? Or is that why posts are getting removed? This is a sham, a farce, and a complete kick in the bollocks to 10c members. If its all about the money, and that's what it seems to me, then I'm going to withhold my money to 10c from now on. That's the only sanction I have. I'm not going to stop loving the band or the music.
I really though there'd be some kind of conciliatory gesture for those fans who were so badly inconvenienced, and just fucking love Pearl Jam! That's why we're all so angry. And I don't buy the sabotage line either. Why not another show? Would it have been so difficult to organise?
And as for the censorship of posts...if that has been happening then that goes against the ethos of the band themselves, and is beyond contempt. I'd seriously be considering my position right now, if I were running this debacle.
I can't get Friday off!! 10C know who we are, maybe a more personal service to European Fans instead of some rubbish excuses why 2 ticket companys have messed up so much the are going to let the tickets filter into the hands of corperate whores and Touts ripping off genuine fans for 2 or 3 times the market value! PJ don't support Europe enough as it is and now they are simply alienating Fans over here.
Yes! Got tickets for Oslo and Copenhagen - 2 nights in a row!!! I don't care about any writsband - i'm there to see the band and will find myself in front of the stage in some way or the other..!!
I'm really sorry to everyone who got screwed out of getting 10C tix.
However, I am curious to hear from those who did get tickets.
(I got in, waited in an online 'que' and had my tickets by about 7:20--I live in Istanbul, so I am GMT+2.
I had NO problem at all, once I finally could get into the Crowdsurge's system...one pair for Berlin)
SO, this isn't trying to rile anybody up, but for those who did get tix--are we all good?
BTW, I just looked at a few of the online outlets and tickets seem to be pretty easy to buy right now...
Darkness comes in waves...tell me/Why invite it to stay?
You're one with negativity/Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?
I'm going to write letters to the British UK Rock music press about this. I'm sure kerrang! Q and classic rock would be most interested.
I've had letter of the month in metal hammer before. Won a pair of Vans, I'll have you know.
I think that's a good idea.
I spent more than a full day (excluding a short, frustrated sleep) refreshing a malfunctioning presale screen and following the ensuing rage on here in my desperation for tickets and this morning I wake up (still tired from my late nights of screen refreshing) and the livenation presale tickets have gone already.
"Fans spend 30 hours in concert presale: No tickets. No refund. No sorry."
I think a similar headline needs to be published somewhere.
Does this now mean that those who were "lucky"to get tickets through the crowdsurge disaster now have paid more (Tenclub tickets are always more expensive..) than all others that also get early entrance..? hmm don't get me wrong.. I am happy everybody in the Tenclub is able to get the early entrance.. but somehow this doesn't seem right that those who did get through now have to pay more..

think of it this way... you didn't have to spend 3 hours of frustration sitting at the computer (think 'Angry German Kid Tries To Buy Pearl Jam Tickets') getting tickets in your basket, having them removed, getting them in again, getting told you couldn't buy them because you had too many in your basket when you didn't, and then staring at 'due to problems beyond our control' messages...
...and then over 24 hours of no information, no apologies, no updates...
...before getting the news that your 10c membership has got you no pre-sale and you'll have to try and buy through the general sale.
oh, and the news about the cancelled pre-sale probably came while you were in bed so you might then have missed the start of the general sale.
the stress and raised blood pressure has probably taken 5 years of alot of peoples' lives so i'd say paying a few Euro more for your tickets was worth it!
Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

I think this is an absolute outrage. This is really unacceptable, no heart for the fans whatsoever.

If the band would play real tours and not 6 dates all these problems with getting tickets would be less. The whole of europe going to Stockholm and shit.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"

Hey man, Pearl Jam is all about the music, man. And the fans, man.
But those two things come in a far second place to the money.
Times change, people change, and so does the respect I once had for the band and this joke of a "fan" club.
...says he who's got tickets for the first and last of their shows...
Solidarity innit! I got those tickets because of the members of ten club giving me info...despite the poor service of 10c. Most of the members here are wicked and don't deserve to be treated this way.

The public sale is tomorrow. Try there before ebay...
The rest of the 10c tickets that didn't sell are being put towards tomorrows sale.
