IS THE TICKETING ISSUE FIXED FROM HERE ON OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for the past few years buying tickets through 10c has honestly drove me up a wall ..... and im close to taking my TICKET PURCHASES else where.



THANKS KELLY

don't blame you.. we all feel the same way. of course we are working on the perfect system.. any ideas? send them along

why would we come up with the ideas? YOU'RE THEIR MANAGER! I'm a school teacher and wouldn't ask you how to teach a good WWI lesson on trench warfare.

its sad how this thread turned into bashing kelly curtis. well done, sawyer! sawyer, were you even trying to get tickets for the euro shows (which this topic was originally created) or are you already just setting your sites on the show's merch to flip in the ld forum? and its kinda scary to think that someone like you is shaping the minds of our youth. you are a piece of work. again, well done!

oh i dont know... we all went over the top not knowing the outcome and most of us lost friends along the way... all directed by men who were stationed many miles away in a comfy office whilst we fough it out on the front lines... allegerocally the 10c could do quite a good lesson on mis-management.

Dunno what this is all about, but I have a question for Mr. Curtis.

When are Pearl Jam planning to return to Canada?

I would suggest it is fairly obvious what it's about, just from the thread title

Do you feel the hiring of 81 will increase the 10c fan moral?

Without a doubt.

Just the mere thought of this has made me feel much better about the 10C.

hello kelly,

i think everyone would agree that the biggest issue has been the lack of communication.

now can i put forward a suggestion as a possible solution to this? something you guys had already done in the past.

please bring back the periodic rumor pit and Q&A's bulletins - this was something that i really looked forward to in the old days.

and let digitalkat ad offthesea run this again - with your full-support of course.

thanks for doing this and have a good weekend.

may 2012 be a more positive year for all of us.

bong

ps: please play south-east asia soon and this time don't forget indonesia and malaysia-truly asia.

He askes straight questions, wanting straight answers and didn't kiss ass. I think Sawyer did it right.

Hi Kelly,

Appreciate you doing this!

One main question for you:

Will there be any early entry for the 2nd Manc date?

Oh and bring the boys to Newcastle Upon Tyne next time!!

E.K

He's offline now

so you agree it should be a potluck of 10 club member ideas to solve this dilemma? is this how things go where you work.....and if so...are they hiring?

Kelly its 1am and clearly you've left.

Thank you for answering our questions, I'm sure there are a lot more. And whilst some us are unhappy with answers you've given at least you had the kahunas to step up to the plate.

What i will say is this:

1) Remember you're dealing with a lot of fans here who have, and will continue to spend thousands of $$ just to see their band.

2) We are all passionate, upset and angry because we missed out on tickets. But worst of all no one told us what was going on, not even a "By the way we wot have any valuable information til the morning so go to sleep" or "Heads up, there may be a second show announcement"

I think we just want you to be open. Surely by now you know how passionate and outrageous some of us fans are. Remember Australia 2006, when it was the same people in the front row for 12 shows on end? (EVen though you shafted us on 10C tickets - that's dedication my friend)

That's the kind of passion you're dealing with here. Don't be glib, be honest and understanding. It will make life easier for us, you and ultimately the band

Peace and Cheers for answering questions

per Kat on the thread's original post:
The Q&A session is now ended. Thank you for participating. If there will be another opportunity, we will post about it. Have a great weekend everyone.

Thanks KC. I think many are happy and grateful to be heard and hear from you

Are you unable to empathise?

Would you have reacted differently if the Pearl Jam brand wasn't involved? If it was any other successful business/brand/organisation that you paid for a membership with would you think this situation worthy of a complaint?

It does seem as though people are expected to excuse the sub standard business practices of the larger brand that is Pearl Jam, on the grounds that they love the artistic ones. As if somehow, you can't be a "real fan" and still recognise poor administration. (The minutia of which, the band has very little if not nothing to do with I'm sure)

It just worries me that the service and accountability might be measured next to how much they think they can push it based on our love for the band. Please don't suggest I jog on.

I do empathise and I agree with the right and the need to complain. There are ways of complaining however and in my opinion (which I'm also entitled to) some of the ways and tones have been way over the top.

I also feel that the reaction of some fans suggesting that they are being pushed as far as the 10c think they can get away with is unfair and over emotional. We all feel such an attachment to this band that we want things to be perfect. Some of the "conspiracy" theories posted by fans are just crazy. Neither do I buy the sabotage theory by the way. There is a middle ground in here!!

Right, that is definitely me out of here until tomorrow, peace...

Can you please learn how to quote so we can follow what you are saying in an orderly manner?
Alternatively, just keep your off topic questions to threads where they belong.

Mr. Curtis,

Thanks for being here and for answering our questions/concerns. The lack of communication is what makes people unsatisfied. This all situation was ridiculous and should be remembered for “what not to do in the future”.

Regarding the tickets sales, I would like to suggest the following. Going back to money orders and snail mail is a step back. Why not putting the tickets up on your website with a 5 day period to "buy", so that everyone could "buy them". By buying them I mean reserving them. You could pre-reserve tickets and the amount would be pre-reserved on our CC. If you get more reserves than the amount available, just do a raffle. Once you get the final list of who will get the tickets, just charge the CC and send confirmation e-mails.

This is different than the e-mail lottery where many things can go wrong. People must send an e-mail and then you will reply to people who get the tickets asking them to pay in a timeframe. If people don’t reply or don’t get back in time, you get stuck with those tickets. Then you have to repeat the process for the next person in line.

Bottom line, try to work out a fair system that allows people to calmly get a fair chance to get tickets. I understand we are not entitled to have tickets but we are entitled to have a fair chance to get tickets, which hasn’t happened this time.

Kind regards
