12 after 9am on the west coast. Time for 10C elves to get to the office and start picking names out of hats.
Kind of reminds me when the would give tickets by tables (groups of member #'s) -
I remember in Vegas they has us all in a room and would call 'table 1' and everyone jumped up...
I remember that! Was that 2000? 2003?
2000 - and Foo Fighters were playing House of Blues earlier in the evening, I remember Dave Grohl asking how many were heading over to PJ at the MGM after.... before Alpine 2011, this was the best concert night I had.
I've only used the 10C for 2 shows so far, and both "drawings" have been a disaster. There are a lot of holier-than-thou people on here that are acting humble and understanding of the 10C's position, but let's be honest - we're paying for a service here that's pretty poor. There's no doubt in my mind that the guys in the 10C are working hard on the issue, but at the end of the day they are not meeting the obligations of the services they say they are going to provide. I own and manage a couple of businesses and I can tell you that if I don't fulfill my obligations of service, my guests are not very humble and understanding. For example, at my restaurant, could you imagine if I told you your food would be out in 15 minutes but kept stalling and delaying, then finally got it to you 3 hours later... you'd be pretty upset.
The membership is $20-$40 per year, if that's not cutting it to ensure they have enough people/ technology to meet their obligations, maybe time to raise prices
Just my 2cents... here come the flames!
Well - admittedly - a fan club doesn't require the same sense of immediate urgency as a restaurant.
And not flaming - but I don't see what the big issue is. If we're just talking about timing to get notices out - I always thought same day turnaround for this didn't seem feasible. And had 10C said they'd get emails out by Wednesday the 1st instead of Monday the 30th - none of this would matter and everybody would be thrilled if the confirms/emails came out today.
If you're more 'upset' about other ticketing issues in the 10C - I can partly understand that. But I also think that - given all the snafus - the 10C does a better job than most others.
Tuesday, January 31st 9:40 AM Pacific: Sorry for the delay, we'll are wrapping up the drawing this morning and will be sending out confirmations later today. Your patience is appreciated!

How would your restaurant run if you installed a new set of digital cash registers that no one had used before, and then had 10,000 people show up in one day?
Are you saying your service would be completely on point?
You serving 100 people in a day using checkout procedures that you've had in place for a long time is hardly the same thing.

They just raised prices. i dont really care about the delay. a bit frustrating but its not like we had to take 3 days off work this time.... Ten Club does the best they can. id rather deal with this crap and have the personal touch of 10 club than have a smooth running machine that treated us like machines too.

I think that's the point - if you promise your customers that emails will go out on Wednesday (or their food will be out in 3 hours) they understand and have their expectations set for that. Under-promise, over-deliver. Additionally, I think most would be willing to look past an issue like this ONCE knowing that things can happen that are beyond the means of the 10C's control, but repeated mishaps over and over means that the 10C is not learning from mistakes. It's like Bush said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
Finding out sooner is probably important for some members so that they can make travel arrangements, request off from work, save for the trip, etc... One or two days may make a big difference.
All in all, I'll be honest, I'm really not that pissed about the issue, just a little astounded at the defense the 10C receives from some loyal members. If something sucks and you don't believe in it, sometimes you have to speak up and let them know. We're all here for the same reason though, we just want to see the best rock band ever!!!

The day we opened our doors none of our staff had used our systems before and I'm sure our service wasn't top notch but our guests were willing to understand because we were new. Now, serveral years down the road, if we provided that same service I'd go out of business... You have to learn, grow, and adapt.

this is the third one in a row that didnt go as planned. but this one isnt the clusterfucking disaster that the eddie vedder 2010 and pj20 ones were. I just hope the 10 club doesnt get so fed up with it that they scrap the idea of giving us first dibs altogether. Thats what im worried about at this point. Im sure the positive posts help their morale and im sure they need it. They dont like disappointing us anymore than we like being disappointed.

Redpoint, i disagree. We are still ahead of schedule as far as the public sale is concerned.
And regarding the last two presales, I scored 10c tix for EV Hartford, and PJ Montreal in the 2nd round of presales; the one they had to scramble to put together because the original presales F'ed up.
I'm not trying to be a 10c apologist, but compare them to say Tool Army who advertises concert presales, but hasn't done one in about 5 years or so, and all of a sudden 10c doesn't seem that bad.
Or you could just not renew your membership and make the ultimate statement.

Hey, call it what you want guys but poor service is poor service. I'm not sure I can fall into the "crying cause I wasn't picked" phase because it's clearly outlined that you are not guaranteed to win - it's a lottery.
And you are absolutely correct about not renewing a membership - nobody is forcing us to stay members. That's the beauty of services (most of the time) you have the option not to purchase it. I was keeping my membership alive to give the 10C the benefit of the doubt.
All in all, IMO the worst customers are those that don't tell you they had a bad experience or are unhappy because the business doesn't have the opportunity to correct the issue if they are not told about it. This is me voicing my opion of the service and saying if things don't improve I will drop my membership (as will others). In the end, I'll keep rocking out to PJ and seeing shows, just through different means.

Honestly....I'd rather wait 1,2,3,4 days or more if it means the 10C can take its time and ensure that they can get as many members into shows as possible.
I've been through terrible presale experiences with other bands before where they used a ticketmaster presale codeword for "fan club members only" (reality is anyone and everyone ends up with the codeword), and then when the presale was underway...all the tickets were sold in two minutes because they were mass purchased through some scalping company's computer software. Within 15 minutes of the beginning of presale, all of the "fanclub" tickets were up on stubhub, ticketcity and other slimeball sites for 2 to 4 times the face value.
I think its great the 10C is ensuring that only fanclub members are able to buy these tickets by using the paypal method and e-mail verification. This may seem like a hassel to some people, but the pool of potential ticket buyers is greatly decreased when they are able to limit to only legitimate, current 10C members. But, this takes time and due diligence.
Also, being able to preauthorize your purchase a week in advance (pending a drawing), in my opinion, is way less stressful than trying to log into a website at the time of a presale purchase. Now that is a NIGHTMARE!!!! Constantly trying to refresh a webpage because there are 90,000 people trying to log on and buy the same 300-400 presale tickets. And, like I mentioned before, ticketmonster makes it too easy for scalper's computer software to make massive purchases and cut your out of the mix altogether!
The way they are doing this pre-authorization/fanclub verification/random drawing is the absolute best way I have seen a fans-only presale done, and I hope they can use this method on the next Pearl Jam tour as well.
Good luck everyone! (My fingers are crossed for Bass Concert Hall in Austin)
Honestly....I'd rather wait 1,2,3,4 days or more if it means the 10C can take its time and ensure that they can get as many members into shows as possible.
that's not relevant to this delay. the number of seats available were already determined..... its not like theyre on the phone with the venues trying to score more seats.
but yeah, people should chill.

Did your charge in Paypal still say Pending or was it actually charged? For those of us on Yahoo mail, we have to wait longer for the 10c emails. I'm wondering if checking my Paypal account or getting a Paypal email about the charge going through is my better option today.

This is me voicing my opion of the service and saying if things don't improve I will drop my membership (as will others). In the end, I'll keep rocking out to PJ and seeing shows, just through different means.

I've been through terrible presale experiences with other bands before where they used a ticketmaster presale codeword for "fan club members only" (reality is anyone and everyone ends up with the codeword), and then when the presale was underway...all the tickets were sold in two minutes because they were mass purchased through some scalping company's computer software. Within 15 minutes of the beginning of presale, all of the "fanclub" tickets were up on stubhub, ticketcity and other slimeball sites for 2 to 4 times the face value.
I think its great the 10C is ensuring that only fanclub members are able to buy these tickets by using the paypal method and e-mail verification. This may seem like a hassel to some people, but the pool of potential ticket buyers is greatly decreased when they are able to limit to only legitimate, current 10C members. But, this takes time and due diligence.
Also, being able to preauthorize your purchase a week in advance (pending a drawing), in my opinion, is way less stressful than trying to log into a website at the time of a presale purchase. Now that is a NIGHTMARE!!!! Constantly trying to refresh a webpage because there are 90,000 people trying to log on and buy the same 300-400 presale tickets. And, like I mentioned before, ticketmonster makes it too easy for scalper's computer software to make massive purchases and cut your out of the mix altogether!
The way they are doing this pre-authorization/fanclub verification/random drawing is the absolute best way I have seen a fans-only presale done, and I hope they can use this method on the next Pearl Jam tour as well.
Good luck everyone! (My fingers are crossed for Bass Concert Hall in Austin)
that's not relevant to this delay. the number of seats available were already determined..... its not like theyre on the phone with the venues trying to score more seats.
but yeah, people should chill.
This!
Times a thousand.

I just got the same one for Austin too! I'm so pumped!!!!!!!
Hoping that's a good thing.
Did your charge in Paypal still say Pending or was it actually charged? For those of us on Yahoo mail, we have to wait longer for the 10c emails. I'm wondering if checking my Paypal account or getting a Paypal email about the charge going through is my better option today.
