10club Ticket Policy

jerrod3145

I am deeply frustrated in not being drawn for the Wriggly Field Chicago Show '13. I am a member of the 10club so that I may enjoy the security and ease of accessing Pearl Jam concert tickets, and not be forced into the uncertainty of accessing tickets through the sale to the general public. This is a socialist act of treason against the very fans who love and support the band! Annually paying 10club dues should give me the right of accessing tickets to every show before tickets are released for sale to the general public. In a nation of freedom and opportunity, non-members have the freedom and opportunity to become members and enjoy the rights that should be given to loyal members. Instead, the current ticketing policy allows only a select few (randomly chosen) the security of aquiring their tickets pre-sale. I admit I am not a long standing member, but even more troubling of the policy is the thought of a person who has been a member since the 10club's origination, yet has not been randomly chosen for this show!


I am torn between the utter disgrace of this policy, and my love for the band. I never thought that my love for the band would ever be tainted by an issue beyond the actual music, but as sad as it may be I am reconsidering my membership. I hope many more are as well! Those who have the power to implement and change this policy should give 10club members the respect derserved in reviewing it. As it stands, I will wait in line with the general public with my 10club patch and inform those who are willing to listen of this disgraceful policy. They will know that this is the only fan club that I have been a member that will not guarantee me this security, and the watered-down member benefits that I questionably enjoy.

You're singing to the choir....

i hear you loud and clear brother! . . . i have been in the club for nearly 20 years and came up empty on the wrigley show as well. the new ticket policy or system is complete bullshit. i was so excited when i heard about this show but i will not be attending; and for the first time am starting to question the benefits of staying in the club. this band and their fan club have always focused on treating loyal and longtime fans very well, but this new ticket policy seems to forget about that. it's hard for me to accept and understand. the band has obviously lost many fans over the years, and the fact they always respected and rewarded all those fans that have stuck with them over the years was something i always appreciated and respected. . . . . unfortunately it seems that has all changed now. :(

Sarcasm surely????

You can't be serious. If every fan was to get tickets to every show PJ couldn't play anywhere...with well over 450k in the club how can you expect this? What a self-righteous, douche bag. Your sense of entitlement is what everyone on the forums is complaining about. There never were guarantees in scoring club tickets, ever, for any show, anywhere. This lottery is by the luck of the draw. Deal with it. And if you're so desperate for Wrigley tickets, there are plenty of club tix being offered up. Maybe I'll see you in the pit. I scored GA, but even if I didn't get a ticket it would be whatever.

Is that how many of us there are (apprx of course)?? Huh always wondered.

Anywho, people are allowed to be upset. Just like people are allowed to tell people to get over it and in the next few words also gloat about their tickets, you know kicking people when they are down.

Yes its only tickets, easy enough to say when you have them.

Actually that is not entirely true. See they didn't do a good job of explaining the "tier" system as literally thousands of us did not understand that if you put "X" as your #1 choice that you would not get put into the drawing for your #2 choice until everyone who listed that as their #1 choice got tickets. In otherwords, had I understood things clearly up front (I only do now thanks to Speedy after the fact) I would never in a million years listed GAFloor as my #1 choice, I would absolutely have listed lower bowl as #1 (FYI, every single solitary person who listed lower bowl as #1 got tickets meanwhile the overwhelming majority of people who listed GA as #1 did not get any tickets, and there were that many listed because that many didn't understand, few who understood still put it as #1..... that isn't a lottery, that is a screw job)

Some lucky people get to listen to him rant while standing in line for tickets.

SOLAT319

Have you not listened to gorgeous RIOT ACT?

This is a band with socialist ideas and that's why I love them so much

Also get over yourself, there is nothing wrong with the ticket policy.

Well, at least you're enjoying them. Good for you. I'd call that a questionable win, but a win nonetheless!
