10 Club
After many years of not spending the 40 bucks, I did it, I joined. I didn't join for the "Deep' issue I thought would come in the mail with some stickers. Seems everything is a download and I am a fan since '92, meaning I don't really know how to open all of the digital stuff. The box that the new member gifts comes in is the most interesting in the collaberation.
I joined not for this decorative box or to use this forum which I know absolutely nothing about. I joined because I have never seen Pearl Jam live and i thought the possibility of having a chance to get ticket would increase dramatically. I have tried to get tickets for my son who was born about the same time PJ exploded onto the scene. Instead of following PJ all over the earth as other fans could, I was raising a child alone.
Now it seems that I don't have any better chance of getting tickets.
The only reason I joined is because I want to see these guys before I die.
It doesn't appear that is going to happen.

2. Are you willing to travel to see the band. I am in Tennessee (They NEVER play here) and I've seen them more than 25 times. Made some great friends around these parts along the way. If you are willing to travel and see them anywhere besides a few big markets you can score some great seats. Just don't get your heart set on LA Boston NYC Amsterdam or Chicago and you'll probably be able to score tickets.
There is NO reason why you shouldn't be able to get tix to a Pearl Jam show unless you are going out of your way not to try.
Most of the issue is that ticketmaster will only let fan clubs take up so many seats at their venues (of which they have a monopoly and its similar for other ticket agencies outside north america). Lots of fan club members these days so alot of people trying for a limited supply of tickets.
That being said. If you don't joint the 10c, you're trying to compete with ticketmaster for the remaining tickets. I got stuck with crappy nosebleeds with an obstructed view in Seattle. I barely got those.
They key to Pearl Jam is a road trip. Every tour they seemed to play somewhere out of the way where the tickets don't sell out. I think for the Eastern Leg it was Charlottlesville and for the Western Leg it was Spokane (and maybe Calgary/Portland/Vancouver).
If you live in the megatropolis of the northeast united states its pretty hard. Lots of people and fan members out there.
I still figure the 10c more than doubles my odds of gettings tickets. I get to try the presale and regular sale. Two shots at it. All the best tickets go to 10c though, so there's that too.
I joined the 10c for the Christmas Single... didn't find out about tickets until I got the mailer for the Yield tour.

Maybe try a different one :-S
I have always gotten tickets thru here for every single tour except the '06 tour, which was due to my inability to attend.
You will be fine. It's really not that hard to find a way if the desire is true.
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
Welcome to the club!
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
Don't worry, your chance will come and you won't look back. Less than 4 years ago I'd allowed life to make me miss every reasonable opportunity to see the band and also PJ have only played one club gig here in Scotland in 1992 and one arena gig in 2000 so I had to do a little travelling but immediately it changed my circle of friends and the gigs blew me away. Boise may never see PJ again for all we know but you'll have your chance to go within a few hundred miles hopefully at worst.

Bootleg Reviews: http://pjbootlegreviews.blogspot.com/
I will see PJ for the first time this year!!!!
Was a big fan at their beginning but then life goes crazy. Long story...but I raised my son alone too. So I understand !
In 2000 I tried it but then Roskilde happened and they left Europe. There were not many concerts here in Germany and if then I missed it. And traveling so far was never an option. At about two years ago (I don´t know what happened) but I can say I am now really into this great music - more than ever - and its now a big part and love in my life. Found all the other stuff like covers and specialy the live songs are what changed it into passion! It´s absolut on an other point now- love the songs that I didn´t like that much bevore ! But why so late?
Last year I made it to the 10C. I didn´t know how the lottery works, so me and a very good friend just tried it for Amsterdam, Berlin and Leeds in hope to get one of them. Finally we won Berlin and Leeds and now we have to travel...And I cannot tell you how crazy I am about it!! I can´t believe that this will happen. And I feel feel feel that this passion grows and grows and I hope that after this summer my good friend will be so crazy about it like I am. All the others in my life think that I am crazy - no one understands this passion (am I too old?) or that I will drive so far and book a flight to Leeds for only two days. Really sad is that there are no big PJ fans besides me to share my love with. Where are the big German PJ fans?
So, I fell like I am new here but I really love it to read all this stuff about PJ and feel the passion of the other members and hopefully I´m lucky to meet some of them in Berlin and Leeds.
So try to get some tickets, don´t care about the money and believe me I know after this first concert it would have change our life and we will never miss a PJ gig !!!
I can´t believe that I wrote all this stuff
Much love to all of you PJ family members !
Boise is a tough area, expect to travel. If you have the money fly somewhere in the Northeast area and you can get tickets to multiple venues just days, or a day apart.
Good luck, welcome aboard.
Wind this thing up.
(and c'mon, you got the damned hashtags down so you can't be that technologically un-inclined
As others have said, will = way. People have scored tickets to shows well and way before access through a band's fan club.
Seek, and ye shall find!
Good luck, and welcome.
