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.

I can’t figure out for the life of me why some of you are even here!

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!

you don't have to apologize to me, most stuff I read from you was pretty cool, both what I agreed and disagred, and mostly the jokes and puns, not at all offensive...

Hail Hail!

Well said.

My thoughts exactly, you probably agree with my post from last night:

I'm glad you agree. It seems like much of the op was directed to you.

Good post. I did post a stupid question to Mr. Curtis and in hindsight probably shouldn't have and you're right. I'm a joking person by nature but it wasn't the right time. Sorry to you and anyone else that feels disrespected. Was not my intention at all. Sorry again.

Respect! Well played sir

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.

I think every one in the 10 club office stood up and gave you a standing ovation.

hope a few rotten apples here don t ruin it for us all !!! :x
so rude and disrespectful. you would think we mostly we would be mature adults here for a band celebrating 20 years.thats not the case at all............some here should hang there heads in shame. rude hate filled posts
acting like babies and children wow ......be nice if they kept track of the ungreatfull rude ones. karma will
maybe even trim some fat here. :arrow: some have crossed the line here and thats not kool
PJ20 IS A YEAR TO CELEBRATE NOT BITCH AND MOAN
realize they do not have to give us this fan club....they do it for us
keep bitting the hand that feeds us...it will dissapear

Embarrassment - not a promising subject considering how bad posts have turned this week

BUT! This was the first thread I really enjoyed reading in the last 5 days. Thank you for that! It sums up pretty effectively how I feel about the whole mass reaction

Porchsitter

FINALLY! A post worthy of praise. I agree. There is way too much entitlement floating around here.

Thank goodness they let everyone know about additional shows like they said they would. God bless you for your posts. Greater fan club members you are. Nothing to see here...move on.

Great post Heisenberg! :thumbup:

Kelly tried his best. I can't believe all the hate & anger in that thread. I didn't bother to post in that thread because I didn't buy any European Tickets. Nobody ever reads thread titles anymore. The thread was dedicated to ...

EUROPEAN TICKET PRE-SALE FORUM DIALOGUE WITH PJ MANAGER KELLY CURTIS

Why were members asking questions about non European Ticket Pre-Sale? Let those fan's who tried for Euro tickets ask Kelly their questions. If you have something not related to the topic email 10club. Give them a call. Start your own thread. Why all the hate, especially during the holiday's.

Yeah - like there have never been any other issues with this fanclub. Just because they tried to communicate and address these issues once does not make all of the other issues go away. Dont think kissing the fanclubs ass will reap any rewards. You guys are almost sillier than the haters.

Thankfully I was sleeping and only read the brilliant Redux post, but agree generally with what the OP is saying as it applies to a lot of the forum and not just the Q&A thread...however, it's also true that there have been some embarrassing things posted from both 'sides' of opinion. it's not even entertaining anymore, just depressing...
