Embarrassment

I’m probably going to be in trouble for saying this so I apologize to Kat and Sea and the rest of the 10C in advance if I upset anyone. I sincerely hope I don’t get the message board boot for saying so, but I’m tired of biting my tongue and I’m terribly embarrassed. I’m embarrassed by how spoiled, entitled, selfish, and childish a large number of people in this fan club seem to have become.
I fully understand how frustrated people are with the recent pre-sales (especially the Europeans) and I agree that many, if not all of the complaints are 100% justified. There’s really no disputing that things definitely need to be fixed.
But…to have Kelly Curtis take time out of his busy schedule to try and PERSONALLY ADDRESS questions and concerns of 10C members and then proceed to watch many of those members, (not all, but enough) flood the thread with mostly selfish, childish, and wise ass questions and remarks instead of legitimate concerns is completely and totally embarrassing.
“were you aware at Alpine that a secondary company was selling killer VIP tickets 10 Club was unaware about, and then shut down their operation and all who might buy from them----including me.”? …
”Please address why it took more than 24 hours for 10C to issue any sort of statement regarding the ticketing issue. This is a huge point.”?...
“Is the money we give the band annually in dire economic times taken seriously at all? We're not all rock stars....”?
Are you f**king kidding me? It’s a wonder Mr. Curtis didn’t just walk away because bullshit like that doesn’t even deserve a response.
Just trying to read the responses from Kelly was nearly impossible and maybe if he was shown more respect instead of arrogance, he may have addressed a few more concerns.
Instead we got the same mundane pictures of Nickelback and Creed posted in the middle of a thread like that joke would somehow be funnier the 250th time it has been used this week? People were trying to get answers to legitimate questions…save that stuff for another thread.
Some of you sit on here and repeatedly complain about the presales, then you complain about what cities the band is playing, then you complain about not getting tickets, then when you get tickets you complain about the seats. You complain about the shirts, the limited edition items (as if you don’t understand the term “LIMITED EDITION”), your membership numbers, the costs…it never stops and some of you are never, ever happy regardless of what the band or the 10C does. I can’t figure out for the life of me why some of you are even here!
I’ve met some really wonderful people through this club and I have had some amazing experiences courtesy of the hard working (albeit imperfect) staff of the 10C. I sincerely hope that that never changes. But to see people acting like the immature Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber fans who litter facebook pages with death threats any time they are upset, only 3 months after all of the good will and positivity of PJ20 is truly disheartening.
Again, I apologize to the 10C staff if any of this violates message board etiquette, but based on what I’ve read this weak, I don’t see how it could. I’m sorry if this is considered “adding to the negativity”, but some of you really need to grow up, be more respectful, and stop acting like spoiled little children…you know who you are, but I doubt you’re grown up enough to admit it.

That show is underrated! Smalbany as a city blows though. I think I may have said that before.

I agreed with a lot of what you said, to some extent, until that part. You say be respectful, and then call people names in the same sentence.
Been trying to figure that out for the short time I've been visiting the forum. Not sure how one calls oneself a fan and then turns the switch in the off direction so quickly.
Maybe when I've been a Ten Club member long enough, but for now, I'll keep keeping it ALIVE.
Thank you, Pearl Jam...thank you!
Hail Hail!
My thoughts exactly, you probably agree with my post from last night:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=178982
I'm glad you agree. It seems like much of the op was directed to you.
Respect! Well played sir
