Fan Club Scalpers

Vedd Hedd

If they keep GA shows, I wish they would organize it like Springsteen.
If they go back to reserved seating, they should update the rows that have lottery seats. 1-3 and 8-10. Either way, they should require credit card scan to enter. That is the safest for fans, and best protection against scalpers.

Harsh perhaps, but dude-$1000? That's straight ridiculous. What with scalpers, poster/record "flippers", and in-general no-goodniks, I feel like Pearl Jam exists for some merely as a source of supplemental income. Witnessed it firsthand at Wrigley. I know times are harder for some than others but to completely gouge another fan is a classic example of shittiness begetting more shittiness. As stated above, the rules of Ten Club ticketing are made abundantly clear from the get-go. Good luck with your tickets and all. Now if you'll excuse me I think my Mystery Box just arrived (logs in to eBay). Rock on...

Which was compounded by the fact that Wrigley serves as a source of income for many scalpers in the area as well...

Agree^^^ he is just playing the loop hole that is general admission. It is def not in the spirit of the 10 club community. but i can't condemn him...

What loop hole? The 10C rules specifically state you can't sell your tickets for more than face value or you can lose your memebership.

From: http://pearljam.com/tenclub/tickets

* Reselling Ten Club tickets for above face value will result in the revocation of all future ticket privileges.

I would condemn him.

The system unfortunately makes this very easy to do. Been saying this for a year now

The loophole or whatever you want to call it that allows someone to sign up with a digital membership or multiples for that matter and have just as much chance as members that have been in the club for years. These people don't give a damn about the 10 club policy, they are just trying to make money. Do you think he cares if he is banned for life from the 10 club. i highly doubt it. He is selling thru craigslist to be anynomous as possible.

Look I am not complaining about the lottery. i lost and didn't bitch once. but if you are gonna be newer members and enjoy the potential of getting close to the stage, then you are going to have to deal with this kind of shit. Yeah, i hope they find a better way. but don't be naive....

these instances are not the majority.don't get your knickers in a knot over a couple of seats.cool down . if it was rampant then yes. but i think 98 percent or 99 percent will use what they got. even with ticketless option there is still ways around it. best thing is to just get him kicked out. one and done. how many of you are really willing to spend 2000 for a pair of seats that doesn't guarantee being first row . its still ga. relax and enjoy the tour and the shows. its not an epidemic. 10club find this guy and post that he is now out. that will be the biggest deterrent .

Snoopy Died For Our Sins

it would be fun to see it all go down...like with the photographer in the "secret" movie...I loved watching that guy squirm

quimby20

I like that idea^^^^^. Show 10c takes this seriously

Kat

Just to add...the no-scalping policy applies to any tickets that are offered here in the forums. Just let us know if you see non-fan club tix scalping, thanks. We only support face-value.

josevolution

Even if this person gets caught and banned from the club , he/she can allways have some one else from his family/friends join the club and do the same thing again , this system is not scalper proof ....

mickeyrat

one possibility is its all bullshit. playing on the rabidness that is our entitled fanbase.

Glad to see our Ten Club funds in action. Thanks Kat and Santos!
