THE NEW SYSTEM TO GET TIX SUCKS BIG TIME

Ten Club member of many years (+18), this time FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, I only got tickets to one show (horrible seats behind the stage)...
The idea that being a 10C member only gets you a CHANCE to win a lottery to buy a ticket is so lame that I cannot even describe it.
And then we are in the holy hands of ticketmaster, way to go guys!
I am not renewing my 10C membership, this is a JOKE
Very disappointed,
José (with 80 shows on his back, I'll get to 81 and that's it)

Question for you: How many of those 80 shows did you have great Ten Club seats?
All tix bought through the 10C, always great seats to as many shows as I wanted...
Now being a 10C gives me nothing
so mad
I understand being mad, but you did get 80 awesome seats over the years from the 10C. I wouldn't be so pissed off at the 10C like they are a joke or something.
This isn't your point, I know, but the setup for London saw that the seats behind the stage were very good. I'm sure it will be the same. Cheer up a little...thousands of ppl got shut out entirely.
I am pissed
Got crappy tix, to only ONE show, really pissed
The problem is that now the 10C doesn't take care of all tickets, just the small portion that goes to the lottery, and the rest end up with Ticketmaster, huge irony...
For the longest time they fought to avoid scalping, those days are WAY GONE

sure, I am the one w/o a clue...
remember those days when you couldn't get tickets unless you bought them through the 10C?
now if I want good tickets I can pay a lot of extra cash on stubhub or something and I am done... things have changed a lot, and not for the best...
look at this, scalping GA tix for NY, only 2500 each ticket...

why weren't those tickets part of the lottery or for the fans?
Tickets.com employs a "lounge" where you have to wait for 30 seconds and then get randomly selected as next in line.
The problem is that there is a new paradigm that is trying to create "fairness". But it really equates to getting a chance at something without having to work for it.
There was a time when you had to go and wait in line at the local record store to get a wrist band before you waited in line to get tickets. We would wait outside for hours and even overnight, because it was something that we really, really wanted.
If you didn't have enough desire to put out the effort, then you had to deal with whatever tickets were left over.
Even with the internet, you still had to be in front of your computer, at the right time, and had to keep clicking refresh over and over again to try and secure a spot.
If you were at a show, it was because you really wanted to be there and you were excited and pumped to be watching your favorite band. I think that is what the bands want!!
The 10C setup is the worst, because it basically says, "for the next week, take your time and throw your name in to try and get some of the best tickets at the show. Don't put out any effort. And we'll give you just as much of a chance as anyone else." But a lot of those people would not have stayed home at 10:00am on a Friday to be in front of their computers.
I have so much disappointment and I don't think I've conveyed it well enough. It just sucks.
1st... GA HAS ONLY 10C ..NO ONE ELSE..those arent legit like the ones at wrigley was listed for 200.000 $
read the infos and the fine prints 10c sents you and you will figure all out..
2nd.you dint score..thousands of fans score 10c tix with lottery and thousands today at public sale..
so,cos the system didnt worked for you today doesnt mean its wrong or didnt work for others..
start asking here in the forum for spares,same at facebook pages..
and stop visiting scalpers pages..

enjoy the shows!!

I would also change the 2 tickets per 10C member rule to only 1 10C ticket per member and here's why: twice the number of genuine 10C members would be in with a chance to win the lottery instead of ticket spares being given to other people, and yes I know many spares are going to 10C members who weren't drawn in the lottery in the first place but at the same time many spares are just going to non members. If the floor of a venue is booked for 10C members only, I would like to see only 10C members on that floor and not friends of friends who are just there because they were sold or given the spare, if you know what I mean.
Having said all that, I am still a 10C member, I know and love many of you 10C members and I will always see you at gigs, 10C floor or general sale!
You are missing the point... (and I am being polite)
If you change the rules you have to accept when the system doesn't work, and this new system doesn't give the fairness that PJ always advocated for their fans. That simple.
The number of scalped tickets now goes through the roof because the 10C doesn't want to deal with selling all the tickets as it did before. They went the Soundgarden way that, IMHO, SUCKS BIG TIME
And yes, there were GA tickets sold yesterday during the general public sale, a few of my friends got them before the complete SNAFU with ticketmaster...
The lottery as the only option is a poor option for us. I prefer the 10C presale hands down.
So, thanks 10C for leaving us in the hands of our friend ticketmaster, we missed them...
I fully agree with you
Part of the greatness is to accept when a change doesn't do what you stood for all these years.
Lottery for fans and then ticketmaster, or pay ridiculous prices to scalpers... not the best option 10C
i know very well beign active memebr here what system is fair and what system help cheaters,scalpers etc..
lottery as system worked perfect
no crash site,no wait hours to see if u score,no have it in my card and lost,no put my cc and didnty went through,no refresh for hours,no cheating with links that put you directly to check out page etc..
and..
there was no GA tic sold yesterday..
you cant get into GA box with out 10c wristbands..
only 10c has wristband and GA tix..everything else is fake and not legit..
no 10c wristband,no GA section,NO MATTER WHAT YOUR TICKET SAYS..
if 10c sold 1000 GA tic,will have ONLY 1000 wristbands..
end of story with this bullshit about GA sold yesterday
and this my friends got them and blah blah blah,i heard it before..

IF anything, the lottery should give your more balls for your seniority. Because that would make it fair. A person with a membership from 98 like myself should not have the same amount of chances as someone who joined in 2013. The lottery now really makes have a ten club memberships obsolete. There is no need now to hold on to it, Just join when needed.
Question, so 10c members wouldn't be able to sit with who they want, even if they both have memberships, because they will be randomly seated based on their numbers? As a married person whose spouse enjoys Pearl Jam also, I would not like this idea. Or are you just suggesting this for GA?

Wow, you convinced me, your logic is impeccable
you make great points, 10C membership is not needed for just a lottery, and it doesn't mean what it meant
another byproduct of this flawed system: now we have the chance to buy tickets at scalped prices which was not possible before, way to go...
sigh...
as for scalpers you just assuming,you dont have any proof..
before,with the previous system scalpers,knew how to win the system,with f-5 and they can cheat and get ticket ALWAYS from fan club..
now they need to be lucky...as the rest..they dont have any power at lottery as they had with previous system
and to pick up the 10c tix is the same,day of the show will call..
so a scalper from ny ,will not fly to spokane to sell 2 tix...
will buy online from ticketmaster 50 tix .the best seats was for sale,cos he knows the ways to do it and make a fortune by seating at his computer,with out need to fly to the cities are the shows are,pick up himself the tic from will call ,to meet buyer in person,give his personal info ,his phone number etc..
just for a pair of tic???which dont know where the seats are??
when he cant listed anywhere as fan club tic,cos 10c will get him?
yeah right..
kudos to 10c that ended that bullshit,with people has power on their hands and score always and some poor members never get fan club tickets...now ALL the same...all the same chances..
