Here's something. I've been a member since '09. Why should I renew? I'm actually expired and have 30 days or else! No more single, no contest, no poster package....WTF? $40 for a T-shirt and dibs on tix....maybe.....if they come to my area. It's not that hard to punch out a single. 2 years behind now. the waiting isn't cute anymore. If this was common or local commerce there would be hell to raise. This is complete BS. It's not even bullshit, this is horseshit. Why should I renew? tenclub?? Who exactly is my voice being heard from? Stone, what's up? One solid answer, I think, would satisfy most of us.
It's been a while since I last came here, I found it challenging trying to get info about the perks of being analog since I have to renew in mid December but I couldn't find any info, I go to my account, select membership but no details, maybe is my Android version, most likely I'm dumb, nonetheless I need that info, and what about those two 2 45rpm vinyl singles overdue, one including Can't Deny Me?
... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

$40 US/$50 International gets you:

the singles are being produced, apparently. but don't hold you breath.

I never understood why people complain about how much they charge us for membership. If I have to pay $40 to get a free shirt, a huge stack of 45 records sitting on my stereo and best of all best seats for members not to mention everything else they do for us is $40.00 really that much? 2018 tickets went up to $20.00 after how many years before the price went up, and still bitching and complaining about that for weeks. How many of you tried everything before 10 Club to buy tickets I know I would have sold my house if I could get a seat. I bought my first computer I think in 1999, and the very first search was Pearl Jam, I might be wrong on the dates but I got my very first set of tickets in 2000 my daughter and I drove from Massachusetts to Virginia Beach, VA. It was the first USA show after what happened in Europe, and we kept hearing the concert was going to be canceled as we know it wasn't. I paid like $20.00 for membership forgot how much tickets were, but finally, we had tickets in the 3rd-row center, I can't put a price on the memory of that night, and ever since still have best seats, greatest music, my daughter and other members I could never put a price on anything Pearl Jam and 10 club has given me. Instead of the small amount we pay to think of what you were saying after the last show I doubt it was what 10 club charged. Of course, I always hear the price of beer as I'm leaving there's always a few right?
Hello 10C - As we are on the heels of another PJ release, I was thinking it would be great to issue another “box” for storage of all misc albums released over the years like Benaroya, Lost Dogs, PJ20, Live from Easy Street, Let’s Play 2, Thirdman, and now Unplugged. Perhaps time this with re-issue of the first three albums listed here. We would all love re-issues of these
Happy Thanksgiving 10C!
Cheers, Eric

I really hate to complain... but the shipping/customs charges to Canadian destinations is hitting us hard in the wallet. Strength of our dollar is a problem but I’ll use Vault #8 as an example. The album and shipping totalled $114.94CDN. UPS let me know I had customs charges of 25.52CDN.
The total price tag - $140.46. CDN. The album itself - 66.32CDN (based on $50US posted on PJ website and current exchange rate). So the album is $66CDN dollars and it cost me roughly $74CDN to have it delivered.
PJ Radio on Sirius/XM plays a quote from Jeff quite often regarding how they “are always looking at ways to pass savings on to our fans”. I am sure they would be appalled to learn I paid $140 for a record. I don’t have all the answers but perhaps a Canadian 10c store needs to be set up.
I will always go to shows, but it is demotivating to purchase future releases... which is sort of heartbreaking really. Worst part? When vaults 8 and 9 show up I am further demotivated to actually open and listen to them as they will hold their value staying “sealed”.
EDIT - I saw the “self clear” attachment in the email. In the future everything will be delivered by Standard Mail. I will avoid the use of UPS at all costs going forward... for anything. Worse hidden surcharges than Ticketmaster in the 90s.
EDIT 2 - It’s a moot point as Standard Shipping is $63 US which would in fact cost about the same. When did shipping a package get so expensive?
I’m going back to never buying anything, anywhere, ever. Just less frustrating 😂

I totally understand. After I got home from the Home Shows, I decided I wanted another shirt. $35 usd, plus $10 usd shipping. That was about $60 cad, and then $15 customs charges when it arrived. I spilled marinara sauce on it. 🤦🏻♀️ I used stain remover and washed it 10 times to get the stain out because that shirt was not getting thrown out. Lol!
I know they can’t do anything about customs charges, but there has to be SOMETHING they can do.
We have the same problem in europe. All we can do is stop buying stuff. No choice. Its sad. I will add the quality of gig shirts is so poor. My one from ed in london the print isn't even central . So poor and £30 . I wont buy anything anymore

Totally true on the quality! The one I bought from the merch tent is very thin. However, the one I ordered that cost me waaaaay too much is actually pretty decent quality. It was one of the shirts to raise funds for their homelessness campaign though so maybe that’s why.
Is it possible for those of us who ordered Pearl Jam's newest album Gigaton from the 10club store receive the digital download 2 day's or so before their Toronto show on March 18th? Please! Would love to hear it on the long drive down from Halifax.

Yeah really. I just posted this in the UK/EU shop topic, seems pretty fitting here as well:
When Gigaton was announced earlier this week I was hyped and ordered the vinyl bundle (LP + 7") right away. Shipping was $29,99! but than I came to my senses, had the 10C order cancelled (got an e-mail saying I got the refund), after that I ordered from the according link that can be found on the front page of pearljam.com. In my case, I`m from The Netherlands, the link took me to platenzaak.nl where I ordered the exact same bundle AND the cd for a total of € 63,98 with shipping. Converted to Euro`s, my 10C order was € 63 without the cd and surely-to-be-paid import fees and suuuuuuper long wait for the package to arrive. With the site I`ve ordered from now I get the package the next day.
Point being: the shipping costs from 10C for us in Europe are insane and the UK/EU shop really isn`t worth keeping in the air if it`s being done like this. I used to order a lot from the US 10C shop but those days are looooong gone, because even when ordering a simple t-shirt you`ll get hit with at least €18 import fees. Not funny anymore, guys!
I'm just concerned that the out of house handling of the lottery (and regards to priority here specifically) is being haphazardly mishandled. Maybe they don't take it too seriously. Hoping someone cares enough to consider how much we all care.
It seems like a fraudulent lotto system to me.I understand that there are limited shows but how can someone get tix to more than one show when someone gets shutout.When the second leg gets announced are we gonna have to deal with this garbage again.There is gonna be a lot of people that get shut out again while people who won the first lottery will win again

Dear 10club / Pearl Jam,
Please offer up a 2020 Pearl Jam European Poster Subscription. For all 14 shows. I would LOVE to see that happen.
Thanks!

Not sure @ the 10club will but hopefully https://www.hdtracks.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=pearl+jam will have the 24Bit Flac available.
If I still drank, I'd go for Maynard's vineyard anyway
