    the forums crashed for me but the ticket page/system page didn't which is good news. At least we won't have to risk getting fired at work for F5'ing all day for a few days straight. This is an improvement. I just hope the 10c sees the issue I found with the dupe order and my work around it (adding my cell phone # to one order but not the other so not all fields were dupes)


    Hmmmm do great minds think alike?? I also had the "duplicate error" come up when I entered the EV fake tour and decided on the 2nd go-around (after the error) to leave out my cell phone and it went through seamlessly. This could actually have been a bug we found.

    I emailed tenclub mentioning the pearljam.com site was very sluggish after the email was sent out as I suspected many fans were busy testing the new ticketing system. A reply came back a few minutes later saying they noticed the site was bogging down, they found the bug, squashed it, and the site was up and running again.

    Great rare merch. HOW MANY BENNY'S do the TENCLUB have??? I hope there are honestly only 2000 copies worldwide ;)

    no thanks


    i thought the same thing but then thought what happens when the real deal comes along-
    will be good to be semi-familiar with the " new system "

    seems like a rreal lengthy pain in the butt.!

    10C- Can we please go back to the snail mail , index card / postcard method?

    Not gonna happen man. That's just old-fashioned at this point, not to mention way more expensive for them. (plus this seemed super easy to me...)

    Is this really anywhere near the load the site would be under if it were a real tour? I doubt it....

    Appreciate the two $4 authorizations rather than eight $1 authorizations and a follow up call from my bank!

    You know, they're giving a week to enter. They will probably give at least a few days for entry when it's a real tour. I think some of us just need to learn to be patient.

    I'm just wondering if it is a good test or not.... it will always be a huge load in the beginning....


    At least we know there is a tour coming!!

    You have never been guaranteed tickets before, and the northeast and some larger cities will still be a pain in the ass for tickets.

    I guess I just meant if I got in and got my order placed, I got tickets. Now I have to enter a drawing to get a chance at tickets?
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    I thought that people have always waited a while to find out... At least, that's what I've gathered from all the "Payment still pending" posts for days after a ticket sale... No? I've not actually bought 10C tix yet myself.
