    Moreover, all comments (more than 800) under the two NEWS-items covering this 'sabotage' have been deleted. I cannot help but feel utterly insulted.

    Yeah... hate to break it to you but LiveNation run their ticket presales through Ticketmaster, so you should have just been logged into an account on TM and forget about LiveNation. The tickets went up at 9am, but literally sold out within seconds.

    Anyone had luck in getting Livenation tickets?

    Quite frankly this whole thing leaves a bitter taste.

    As someone who's role includes building distributed, redundant, highly available websites that can handle several million threads per hour, I find the whole notion that 10c are trying to pass this off as external sabotage. quite frankly, insulting.

    If it were external sabotage, the symptoms we would experience would have been completely different to what was seen. Crowdsrge themselves told many people from this board, myself included, that the problem was they couldn't handle a few thousand concurrent attempts to buy tickets - that is NOT external sabotage, that is poor planning.

    And now we find most members having to enter the lottery of a public sale having already paid money to 10C and put their faith and trust in them to provide a promised service, something they have time and again failed to achieve.

    My membership is up next month and I won't be renewing. I can get the vinyl off ebay for less than the cost of my membership, and I won't give these clowns money for a service they can no longer profide.

    Tim and everyone connected with this, you should be ashamed.

    Totally agree with you. There is no such a thing as sabotage. There are few systems in the world that can handle situations (such a high number of multiple connections for the same DB instance - Google, Amazon...) like this smoothly. But I don't blame 10c for this either. They signed a contract with CrowdSurge in belief everything goes fine this time (what also must have been confirmed by CrowdSurge) and they got ripped off (We all got). And of course they could not put off public onsale due to contracts.

    I think the best they could have done after CrowdSurge failed was to make a lottery. Put together some system of applications and just simply divide all rest 10c tickets between applicants for the respective shows. But "everyone is clever when the fight is over" and it's too late now.

    I will extend my membership, get my vinyl via 10c and hope they will sort this out for the next time as I believe they are really trying to do best for us.

    PS I was not able to get the tix for both shows I wanted even in public onsale, damn Fuck!!!

    I managed to get 2 seats up in the gods, section 202 row P. You needed to be logged into a TicketMaster account, that's who LiveNation use.

    Managed to get through via Livenation/Ticketmaster but they only have upper tier tickets available. Sorry, but I'm not buying top dollar for crap tickets. That's why I joined 10C.

    Thanks, 10C. What a waste of money. Feeling very sour about the Pearl Jam organisation right now. For me, it's never just been about the music but also the feeling that the fans were respected. Rapidly losing that feeling right now.

    There's an MEN pre-sale going on at the moment.

    If it is "sabotage" are my credit card details safe?
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    People need to bear in mind that all of the unsold 10c "pre-sale" tickets are going into the public sale tomorow at 9am. That's a big extra bunch of tickets, so there is still hope (obviously the whole situation still sucks massive donkey balls).

    You needed to be logged into a TicketMaster account, forget about LiveNation, they just forward you to TM.

    The entire place in Copenhagen is GA. Much better than Globen. Fuck that shit.

    ARGH...Just Breath! I missed out getting General Addmission tickets for Berlin! I was refreshing and clicking way before 10am. I am in the US Military living in Germany and was depending on a government network and my iPhone to get through. For the love of Sweet Lew! I am a 10C member and I am not going to sit at a Pearl Jam concert!

    What an awful situation is. Those who have got tickets well done, have a great night at your show. The many of us loyal 10clubbers who have been members for 6 or 7 years, like myself, this situation leaves me very bitter. I tried for 30 hours on Crowdsurge, I called Seattle, I called Crowdsurge. Why on earth couldn't PJ Management just take back the allocation and offer it here via a ballot? I have now missed out (with the small chance of getting some via the general sale tomorrow) but honestly, I am gutted. Never tried so hard to get tickets with no luck.

    SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

    Only way the PJ organisation can make this up to me is a free fan club show in England with ONLY 10clubbers allowed. Other than that, I will try the tout sale on Friday, but I think now the whole experience has left me really disappointed.
    :D Rock on!!!! :D
    Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.
