would love (but being greedy) a package every 1/4 like thirdman records.where you get a vinyl Lp with 7" or dvd.this could be old shows or rear items or even side project stuff..but i guess this is a ton of work.and would cost loads..but im willing to pay.

love the boots of the shows. but could we get dvds as well...shows are shown on big screens in some gigs..again i guess cost would be high..

give away's in the forum..when new merch is released.give one away or random stuff.(that old benny you have in the office)..some of us fans have been doing these little comps for years now...people love them..

holiday single (xmas) out in the correct year.

members merch requests..things we really want released..slip mat ,vinyl boxes. better girl merch.(jewelry!) etc.

time machine so i can go back to pj20..dont tell me no...

Can the bootleg code given to us as part of our analog membership be upgraded to just a $9.99 coupon for anything in the store? There is something incongruous about giving codes for mp3s to analog members.

For Example:
I could use my code to get the new Jeff Ament album, but I want the best quality possible, so it'd be nice to apply the code towards either the LP or the CD instead.

I don't know if it's within 10c's control, but I would LOVE for there to be a 10c only area with barricades separating the sections at all GA shows. This made a huge difference in Europe. I have to say, I was kinda terrified of doing all those GA shows in Europe given my first PJ GA experience in the Manchester 2000 (where I alternated between thinking it was the best show ever and thinking I was going to die), but I was pleasantly surprised that for the most part, people were very respectful and courteous other than in Berlin (I went to Prague, Berlin 1&2, Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen). I think the difference was Berlin was huge and there were no barricades, so all the people in the back were weaving their way to the front.

10 clubbers for the most part were very respectful and taking care of each other, I really loved seeing that.

100% agreed.

I was in Berlin1 (4th row Mike's side) and the push from behind was almost unbearable (and I'm not exactly "small", being almost 1,90 m and 90 kgs). I stayed there most of the show, but I saw a lot of people forced to move back for excessive push, and that's not fair for someone that pays queues to be in the front rows.
I think that barricades for 10C area should not be an exception, given all the care that the band reserves to safety at the shows.

Hey Tim


thanks for the opportunity...


My only concern is the lottery scenario for tickets for shows. I understand 10c want to avoid issues that were present with Crowdsurge and other ticket sales, but we should be able to go online and purchase tickets to shows of our choosing at the time of pre-sale. I don't like the idea of picking say 4 possibilities and waiting to find out which show I am allocated. Time should be invested in truly wrapping up this issue.


you guys do a great job, and i've said it before, we are so lucky to be part of such a great community, from band, to the 10c and to so many on here!


Peas!

Hi Tim,

I would really like to congratulate 10C on how much improved the early entry was on the European tour. I only made it to one non-festival show in Copenhagen, but people who'd done several shows said it had been the procedure for most of the tour.

The fans system works quite well outside the venue but once the doors open, all bets are off. It can be really gutting when you've been waiting since morning to get a spot at the front and you get beaten to it by people who showed up at 5pm (Manchester '09, anyone?), just because they can run faster than you in the mad scramble once the doors open.

The system of escorting us in order to the front was so effective and I think most people really appreciated the effort. So, thanks.

What would impress me even more, though, would be if some boots for the 2007 tour saw the light of day... Please?

Release more vault and rare items such as the Stuffins Demos?

First and foremost - having read this thread, just one thought. If you at least consider 20% of all the good ideas people have, you're on the right track.

My 2 cents:
1) More EV solo shows in Europe. I mean, for now it's just UK and A'dam, 6 shows total plus the festival in Portugal (4 locations, 2 UK-based) if I'm correct. More shows would be nice but I don't think it's likely to happen anytime soon. There has to be a good reason why Europe gets a bit sidelined by EV (solo concerts-wise) but as far as I can tell Ukulele Songs, ITW soundtrack and Water on the Road enjoy popularity and solo-shows in the south of Europe/Germany (or Poland for the record but I'm a realist and wouldn't count for a show in Poland) would sell out within minutes as the current mini-tour has shown. Hope that these few shows after the PJ tour are a good sign and EV will return to Europe with his solo-act.

2) EV solo boots/live CD. Yeah, Water in the Road was great, I made myself an MP3 RIP of the DVD I bought but it's clearly DVD-meant. More music from the EV solo-shows would be nice given that it's different from the PJ shows.

3) Totally agree on the separate area up front at GA shows. I mean - not just for 10C, let's not make some sort of privilleged religious group out of the club - but in general for people who come early and are fortunate enough to score good place up front. I don't like the 'give me my money's worth' attitude but it's a fact - you pay extra for early entry, you need to come very early to the show and wait in the front for a long time and then at the show some drunk idiots try to ram through the crowd to the barrier. I feel that this issue didn't get enough attention (guessing it didn't look that bad from the stage) - Berlin 1 in that terms was HORRIBLE and IMO dangerous (and trust me, I've been to many many shows of various Polish and international bands and I'm not the kind of a 'sit-through-the-whole-show-and-don't-interrupt' guy.). I'm a big guy and still was close to falling over at times, the pressure was hardly bearable, there were plenty persistent, agressive indivduals pushing from the back and there was just no way for women to make it through the show in the front without rugby-style shielding from their friends/boyfriends. REALLY kinda scary. On the other hand A'dam shows with the separated area up front were pure-perfect. The crowd was energetic but it was safe. Again - I'm not saying 'isolate the front for 10C' - I'm saying make it enjoyable and safe for the people who put their time and energy into making it up front. The separated area up front seems like a perfectly feasible and reasonable solution.


4)Totally support the 10C only-show in a smaller venue idea. Again, I would make it timid - just 1 show once in a while would be nice. I remember that in '09 there was some kind of smaller-venue 10C show in the UK pre-Backspacer? A similar thing before the new album would be nice. You can hear the 'uniqueness' of such events in the Benaroya/Vic boots.

5)I second the idea that announcing the whole tour (or at least what's in the making) at once (before the tickets go on sale) would be nice. This year I had to make a decision on purchasing tickets once the Euro-tour was announced and then A'dam 2 and Berlin 2 were added (had I known that in advance, my trip-plans could turn out differently). I do realize that it is hardly doable since the respective shows depended on general demand - just a general remark.

6) Ticket prices (I will say from a perspective of a Polish guy traveling to European shows). The ticket-prices are really high, especially if you don't receive your salary in euros. Over 60 euros for a ticket is really, really steep. I realize that it's how it is and there's inflation and these are regular prices, but man... I remember paying 110zl (20-25 euros) for a ticket to Chorzów 07 show. In 09 it was about 50 euros for Berlin, now it was 62, not to mention EV shows. I'm aware it won't change and that I'm privilleged to afford going to concerts but in some regions it's more of a luxury to see PJ live than you would think.

Now it's gonna be less serious and less imporant (IMO) stuff.

Starting with the less serious
7) Pretty please, play in Poland. It's great that you played Prague and it was probably impossible to do a show in Poland with the Euros around but consider Poland in your tour plans. You know that Polish fans are hardcore and dedicated and now there are kick-ass venues in Poland (both stadiums and arenas) to top it. Not to mention that there was no no-festival PJ gig in Poland since the memorable Katowice '00 (in Chorzów PJ had to cut the show short because of sharing stage with Linkin Park and curfew, Heineken 09 was a festival gig). I guess that this remark about under-privilleged areas show wise would apply to Eastern Europe as well (Balkans, Ukraine, Russia) and that there are places with even less PJ live presence than Poland. But for selfish reasons I will put Poland first . To me, it always seems like a great idea for PJ to play Poland.

Now for the less important (merch):
8) The PJ20 backpack was great (my friend got it), the Loomstate backspacer drummer T-Shirt is just SPECTACULAR. More apparel-merch of this sort (well-thought, reasonably priced, with a cool design) would be nice.

9) The Deluxe PJ20 movie sale was kind of a dud. Many people (myself included) just didn't expect it to sell out before it actually went on sale. And now the flippers reign the ebay. A heads-up would be nice.

10) It's great that the posters (older ones incl.) are on sale through the website. I remember trying to score EV Klausen posters via Ebay and their flipped prices.

I personally thought the lottery system worked fine, and though it's still not the ideal solution, it's a lot better than sitting in front of your screen for ages and refreshing in any case. I also kind of like that you have to buy two tickets - I got in contact with so many fans simply because I had spares, and I made new friends by that. Please keep all European shows GA with early entry...I've never been to any PJ US shows (hopefully someday soon), but I've heard from many Americans that the atmosphere is a lot better with that system.

I know everyone's been asking to get a Southern European tour, but I'd actually prefer Central-Eastern Europe....Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, maybe Croatia and Serbia. You could also play Vienna as it's close by.

Please do no code and yield box sets.

Fan-club only show would be awesome. You could choose a mid-sized venue, so it's a change from arenas but still gives a reasonable number of fans a chance to be there.

There's more, but I'm going to conclude with a thank you for now. Ticket pick-up and early entry were very smooth on this tour in most cases, people were respectful and not jumping all over each other once doors opened. The way everyone looks out for each other, be it with hotel space, spare tickets, or giving each other room at the front is uncomparable to anything I've ever witnessed before. It is a true community, and having a fan club and a band who cares about their fans certainly influences that spirit. So, thanks.

flintstoned

Oh yeah, my previous post was just remarks, suggestions and complaining but other than that a huge salute to 10C for organizing the Euro tour. The entrance procedure, ticket-pickup, e-mail info and overall service was top-notch. As far as the lottery is concerned - I scored the tix when they went live in the first place and managed to F5 my way through but I guess lottery is OK. Obviously you tried many solutions, the crowdsurge one failed so it's reasonable.

In these times as in all times, connection to something bigger than our oxidizing physical nature is imperative. Things are getting amplified, good and not so good. Art has always been a reminder of something sublime. Pearl Jam as well as other forms of beauty feeds the mind and soul. I have never seen Pearl Jam live. I have only been a fan for about 2 years, but there is something that transcends the flesh about their music. I thank God for these times of peace and the knowledge that there is something bigger than here. So why not take care of what we have here. To what we hold precious, such as our limited time on this planet.

dimitrispearljam

some things to add

1st..important ..safety..
10c only area with barricades separating the sections at all GA shows.
alot of us follow the band at Europe know each other and try hard to take care eachother at the show...
at Prague,Amsterdam,Stockholm,people was totally safe..cos was a 10c area..
Berlin was dangerous if this pushing continue for alot of time..thanks to eddie and security for the help..
Oslo the way the venue was no need that .and Copenhagen,was ok...
this tour was the best as comes to 10c security,the best from 2006 for sure..thank you for that..

2nd..please continue if you can,to announce the tour as long time in advance as you can as you did the last 2 europe tour,2010 and 2012,but do it for all tours,Usa,Australia ,S America .etc..help us to organize out trip,and find cheap ways to travel..

3rd..please allow ,lets say once per tour,one of the fans-10club member,like you honor Brian,to pick up the setlist of a show..
you can find the way how and who to choose for that..
maybe one fan that have 10c tix for the show the band will choose to give the fan the chance for that..
the band did that at Amsterdam 2 and you saw the result..TOP SHOW...

4th..we love the AET radio show..please bring it back

and Thank you for the fair lottery system...

Thank you 10c for this thread that gives the chance to be a part of a conversation with our favorite band..

I would like No Code vinyl release please which isn't super limited or some massive box set that I cant afford (though feel free to do those version for the collectors/flippers). I just want to hug it and spin it.

Love the idea of there always being a 10c Area at shows, Prague was simply amazing because of this and pretty sure Eddie picked up in the vibe from that area too...if he knows people are safe he can rock that extra bit harder which makes us all happier.

Can we have an update on the progress of the BETA site and an idea of when it will be working properly? Will the finished site be accessible from mobile phones - haven't been able to log in on my wackberry since the change over.

Thanks for all you do.

Under the tech category, is there any video footage of Jack Irons recording "In My Tree" and "Given To Fly"? As a drummer, I would love to see what he used and how he played those tracks.

Thanks!! Great idea on the thread.

JR_Loves_PJ

I think this forum thread is a great idea and I hope people write thoughtful replies to you. One piece of feedback that immediately came to me is in regards to the PJ20 backpack that was sold last year. An email was sent out about this backpack and it seems that it sold out incredibly fast due to it being a limited edition item (and of course, the fact that it was a great looking backpack). Well, naturally the demand was high, so as soon as it sold out and the lucky members who got through on the sale saw that demand, some turned around and started selling them on ebay for prices as high as $1,000. Ten Club has a strict policy when it comes to scalping fan club tickets and losing certain membership privileges if you are caught doing that. It would be great to see a policy like that in regards to some of this limited edition merchandise. I know ticket scalping and re-selling merchandise are two separate issues, but it doesn't seem right that fan club members should be able to get away with flipping the merchandise like that and capitalizing on an item that the band sold for about $75, including shipping.

Because I like seeing solutions to problems, I have one possible idea for you. I had told my sister about not getting a backpack last year and how terrible it was that fellow fan club members were ripping others off and she told me about a website she buys t-shirts from that emails its subscribers when it has a new design. You then have 7 days to put an order in if you would like the shirt and after 7 days, they figure out how many shirts to make based on what is demanded. I know Pearl Jam likes doing limited edition items, but I also know they like seeing their fans happy. Utilizing a system like this would be great for the Ten Club when it comes to special merchandise like the backpack or the laptop bag from years past. Give fan club members 7 days (or however much time you would like), as you now give us to enter ticket lotteries, and if we want an item, we can pre-order it. This is just one possible idea, I hope you take it under consideration.

Thank you, Ten Club, for all that you do for us- I know you work extremely hard to try and keep us happy and you have a tough job, but you do a great job with it. We Pearl Jam fans are the luckiest fans out there!

FrankieG

I had alot of suggestions that I send in to the pj Forms sugestion thing with the new beta site...
Of course i can't remember them now... But I will be posting them when I do..

1. Get the icons on the left side of all the posts back to something cool, instead of just a square!

2. Fix the signatures to not limit characters like they use to be.

3. Announce a date for the MIA festivl.

4. Fix the LOGOUT button to say LOGIN when you are Logged out.

Empty Glass

Any chance of a return address slip to be sent with our orders in case an item is damaged? I received the new Ament album with tears on the outer sleeve and inner jacket. I sent an email with pictures of the damage and received the following reply.

"just send the jacket back for a new one."

That's it. All I got. I just paid $31 for an album that was damaged and I was expected to pay to return the damaged one?? I decided not to return it, the album itself is in great shape.

Other than that, I think everyone at 10C does a great job!

Porch Dweller

How about re-releasing old bootlegs in all forms (CDs and downloads)? Don't think there has been any complaining about costs associated with purchasing live shows. The 2000s & 2003s are out there to buy but can be expensive to collect; the fans and PJ might as well benefit. I know they're all available out there, but official packaging would be nice (artwork, possible box sets). It would be a great opportunity for fans to collect any missing shows they might need and new fans to hear some of these old shows. Start with the 2006 tour and work your way back, or start with 98! Keep a few shows out for future Vault releases.

Thanks for letting my voice be heard, great idea 10c!
