truly uncanny another delay, this is getting old with every tour having issues

What delay? You act like you're waiting in line or something.

As in we were given a timeframe and the timeframe wasn't met.

de·lay (d-l)
v. de·layed, de·lay·ing, de·lays
v.tr.
1. To postpone until a later time; defer.
2. To cause to be later or slower than expected or desired: Heavy traffic delayed us.
v.intr.
To act or move slowly; put off an action or a decision.
n.
1. The act of delaying; postponement: responded without delay.
2. The condition of being delayed; detainment.
3. The period of time during which one is delayed.
4. The interval of time between two events.

I didn't see where they actually said they would email us on the 30th. In regard to a "delay," your expectation/assumption that we'd be notified one way or the other on the 30th seems misguided.

I'm not upset at all about the delay but this site does say they would e-mail us by the 30th. http://www.pearljam.com/presale

Monday, January 30th 8:38 PM Pacific: Sorry for the delay, we'll be email ticket winner tomorrow (Tuesday). Your patience is appreciated!


How are my expectations/assumptions misguided, especially when the update states there is a delay? When the word delay is used doesn't that mean 'slower than expected or desired'?

I misread the notice. I apologize.

It's a Tuesday, and we all know everything comes out on Tuesdays

I'm excited. I figure even if I don't get 10c tickets, the public sale is Friday, and we'll know definitely by then! :thumbup:

Maybe they are trying to get the kinks worked out before the 2012 North American tour? I'm trying to bring some positive rays in on this delayed situation. Cheers!

Any guesses when the emails will be sent out? I'm gonna be optimistic and go with 2 and1/2 hours.

Well - Hope you weren't expecting alot to happen in those 12 hours:

8:30 PM: Call it a night - 'update status' by saying 'See ya tomorrow!'
8:45 PM: Grab a beer and wings on the way home
10:15 PM: Get home - jump in the shower - off to bed
7:30 AM: Alarm goes off - crawl out of bed - start coffee
7:40 AM: Morning shower
8:00 AM: Pour a large cup of half coffee/half Bailey's
8:15 AM: Check Online Forums -
8:30 AM: Jump in car to head to the Office and Try to Finish Ticket Requests

12 after 9am on the west coast. Time for 10C elves to get to the office and start picking names out of hats.

Some people are so impatient.

Let's let the Tenclub people sleep in a bit, grab some donuts, and then head back to the office before we start complaining.

With such small venues, I know the chances are good that I won't even get tickets. But it doesn't make me appreciate what they are doing any less. They are going out of their way to make sure we have a first run at decent tickets.

You know how many other major bands have fanclubs that do that? VERY FEW.

Go on any other band's forums and you'll see people complaining that their shitty ticketmaster presale password was for the worst seats in the house. You'll see them complaining that the presale password they were given was the same as what was given to 6 local radio stations.

We are fortunate and shouldn't be sending messages complaining that everything they are doing is not in OUR preferred timetable. We should all be sending them emails thanking them for their tireless work on OUR behalf.

They are working overtime so that YOU can have a good time. But YOU are somehow being inconvenienced because it's taking too long? Piss off with your negativity, seriously. Let your membership lapse so someone more appreciative can sit in your seat.

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...

You really think only a small fraction of people will get tickets?

Well do the math. Doesn't the Tenclub only get like 10% of the tickets for tenclub members?

On a 5000 seat venue that is 500 tickets.

When they play 30,000 seat arenas they have 3000 to give out and still sell out of fanclub tickets.

So 1 out of 6(+) people who want them, will get tickets this time around.

Smaller venues, smaller ticket allotment.

Yeah - I can do the math. Just wasn't sure if the demand for an EV show would be the same as a PJ show. :dunno
