Did Pearl Jam have final say so in cancelling the tickets? Probably Did ticket.com cancel the tickets without having to discuss it with the band? Maybe
Did a few whiny, crying, sniveling, 50 year olds, who post on this board call Fenway, and Live Nation, and the 10club, complaining that other people were sold tickets?
DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!
More than a little ironic to accuse "a few whiny, crying, sniveling, 50 year olds" for this debacle.
Last I checked, most members of the band are 50 or older. Am I wrong?
The "whiny, crying, sniveling, 50 year olds" of which you so arrogantly and insultingly speak are the very reason that this band has been around for 25 years. It's their loyal support for this band that has paved the way for the younger generations to have the opportunity to engage in the sublime experience that is Pearl Jam.
Could be that a few self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, arrogant, and entitlement generation of mellinials blew the whistle on those taking advantage of the early sale glitch, no?
I doubt it though. Just as dumb to blame the "Me" generation as it is to blame 50 year olds.

And no, I'm not 50! I'm 49.

Touche, Speedy ... Touche. I'll take my righteous indignation elsewhere.
Columbia 2008 Atlanta 2012 Wrigley 2013 Charlotte 2013 Seattle 2013 Memphis 2014 Greenville (VS.) 2016 Columbia 2016 New Orleans 2016 Fenway I 2016 Fenway II 2016 Wrigley I 2016 Wrigley II 2016
I feel for everyone who "bought" tickets today, (but playing devil's advocate) this has never happened in my 25+ years of going to shows. And speaking as someone who booked a morning off work (we live in Vancouver) for tomorrows sale, I'm glad that this didn't go through (as much fun as SPEEDYPALOOZA would have been!).
PS anyone else considering Oshega or Lolla on the way to Boston? Sounds like it might be Radiohead, Arcade Fire, LCD...sounds very appealing....25 years of Lolla....26 years of our boys!
Also took off work for tomorrow's sale. Don't feel bad for those who had their orders cancelled in the slightest. There will be plenty of tickets to go around for both shows, particularly Sunday. The few opportunistic people don't deserve all the best seats. There are several "real fans" that didn't find out about this exploit until several hours after it was over. Much more than did find out about it.
I don't feel like scalpers are going to go nuts about the Fenway shows. The only thing they have to base a potential profit off of is the one-off Wrigley show in 2013, which for obvious reasons isn't a solid indicator (this time around - two cities, multiple shows in each city). Buying up all the tickets to either or both Fenway shows may be risky from their perspective. There's no way to accurately gauge demand until the tickets have actually gone on sale. I think those who lost the tickets they bought today are looking for someone to blame but honestly believe that the band made this decision to make the ticket purchasing process more fair for all of us. I may be wrong, but lets wait to see how tomorrow goes down...
Ive said it so much now but why is it ok for people to score tickets through a season ticket/members presale when some lucky people get a leaked code but its not ok when we accidently stumble across an early onsale? One is getting a cheat code and the other is a genuine ticket purchase as they were being offered for sale, the buyer did nothing wrong.

what about the "real fans" that missed out when someone leaked a season ticket holder code on here earlier this weak, suppose that was ok. Those tickets aren't being cancelled, quite rightly and neither should these. The hierarchy and right of entitlement on here is amazing at times.
That wasn't okay either. Those tickets weren't meant for any of us unless we were Red Sox ticket holders. People pay yearly for that privilege while we pay (much less) yearly for the 10C lottery. They were offering great seats, but I doubt you'd be as pissed off about it as you clearly are if you didn't even have the slightest chance to grab ahold of them, which is what the folks working at Fenway intended.

I think the difference in this scenario is that the season ticket member presale was a limited allotment of tickets. Tickets.com could have sold the entire show out today without the majority of the general public knowing - people, like myself and several others on this board, who have been preparing for the sale on Friday for several days now.
Another difference, no easy way of knowing which presale code transactions were season ticket holders or not. But there was an easy way to determine which sales today were in error...all of them

Several "real fans" were aware and several weren't . If there will be plenty of tickets available, why do you want them taken away from "real fans"? So you can have a chance to get them of course. Now neither of us will get them, or any other "real fans". Begrudge tickets.com, not real fans who saw it was on sale, said why shouldn't I try to get a good seat other people certainly will.
Geez, you score two tickets to good seats, that you don't even end up getting, and you get blasted for being "underhanded" and "unfair". Such selfishness. It would be like me saying to someone, " I hope you don't get any tickets today from the sale. It'll improve my odds of getting them."
I'm still trying to figure out how there are tickets available when I wasn't able to get tickets from the 10Club. Technically all of the seats for Fenway belong to Pearl Jam because it's their concert. So unless the show is sold out every 10Club member living in New England should have gotten seats.

This.....to an extent I do feel bad for any fans, including my buddy who thought he got in ahead of the scalpers & bots yesterday. I'm not crying a river, but I have some level of sympathy.
Would it have been fair to the people waiting today until noon? No, but as the NYAG said, it's a fixed game. It's unfair to begin with, so I would have had no problem w/ people scoring tickets a day early because tickets.com f'ed up.
Just pretend tickets never were available, as it was meant to be, and move on. Simple. Just like a call reversal in football, you move on and accept the judgment. We're all fans, no need to attack each other.

That's true and wise however there is a financial aspect to this that is real. I don't have and wont receive the credit back to my card for a few days and I also wont receive the full amount due to currency exchange transaction charges, unless tickets.com surprise me by asking what my out of pocket expenses are.
enough, im done, its a pisser but I cant change it, it was/is a disgrace and needs 10c / pearl jam to ask questions about the processes this week
Good luck to everyone later and remember we should be looking after each other here better than has been in evidence lately.

Just top off my head, not thinking all the logistics through: Maybe in the future PJ itself should buy more tickets themselves, like 25%, up front. Then make that available to 10c. If they are worried about making their money back, charge us a little more (we will pay) raise the ticket limit to 4, or even just do this for select shows like msg, philly, wrigley, and fenway. If they don't sell out from a 10c presale, put them back into the regular on sale or put them for sale through their own website later.

I may be wrong, but I don't think they have that option. I think if they could, they would certainly take/buy as many tickets as they could. But LiveNation/Ticketmaster will only let them have so many. I think they do the best they can in getting as many tickets as they are allowed.

I feel for you. Is there any way you could get your credit card to give you a temporary increase in credit limit? It wouldn't hurt you too badly because you won't have to pay twice, you'd only need to deal with the currency exchange charges for a second time, for a few days. Then when this is over have the credit card company bring your limit back down. Something to consider.

I'm just spitballing....Really, what's the difference the tickets are sold either way. They will all still get their cut of money, just more pearl jam fans will actually get the tickets and less scalpers. Do the 10c sale through live nation, what's the difference. I'm sure there's at least some leeway for a negotiation. I don't embrace excuses, I embrace solutions...I've heard that from somewhere

I embrace reality and somethings are out of the band's control.
My girlfriend has friends coming into town to see Coldplay in July and I've been roped into going too. One of them is a member of Coldplay's fanclub and got us tickets that way. Based on where those seats are in a HUGE football stadium (Hint: they are far, FAR from the stage) I am thankful 10c gets us the tickets they do.

One of the BIG differences is all the bogus fees & "convenience" charges that LiveNation and Ticketmaster add to the ticket prices!! I've bought tickets to shows where these fees ended up adding as much or MORE to the total cost as the single ticket itself!!!

Eh, nothing is really out of the bands control, if they want to hard nose it, which I'm not saying they would nor should. I'm not talking crazy amounts more. I mean like 5% or so for big/select shows. The real issue is PJ/10c probably wouldn't want to take on more than they already do, which is understandable. I'm sure they don't want to be in the ticket selling business, and do enough in that regard. Ticketmaster/live nation has their whole primary market to bot to resale market scam going so that's a whole other issue. So no rocking of boat as long as they're making money.
Did Pearl Jam have final say so in cancelling the tickets? Probably Did ticket.com cancel the tickets without having to discuss it with the band? Maybe
Did a few whiny, crying, sniveling, 50 year olds, who post on this board call Fenway, and Live Nation, and the 10club, complaining that other people were sold tickets?
DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!
My post of 2016 so far
And you know its the truth. We both know its the truth. Because that's just how some people here are. GOD FORBID somebody has something "Pearl Jam" that they don't have. GOD FORBID some people have better tickets. GOD FORBID......
I could probably give you 1st and last names of some of the 50 year olds who were on the phone with Fenway, once they found out some tickets were distributed, and they were not a part of it.
Seriously? Who gives a fuck if some lucky people were able to get tickets? Why not just be happy for those people? Why not? Because one thing I have learned about a few people on this board over the last few years.
Ah fuck it.... Nevermind

"Eh, nothing is really out of the bands control, if they want to hard nose it, which I'm not saying they would nor should." Meaning no one is making the band do something they really don't want to do if they feel strongly against it. I'm not saying the number of tickets for the 10c is one such issue though.

I'm sure they don't want to be in the ticket selling business, and do enough in that regard. Ticketmaster/live nation has their whole primary market to bot to resale market scam going so that's a whole other issue. So no rocking of boat as long as they're making money.
It really is out of the band's control. They get as many as they possibly can for 10 club, Livenation is in control, Pearl jam has to play by their rules for the most part.
On a tangent, you gotta appreciate the need by some to rub people's nose in shit. Yeah people are upset and they are expressing it, so what is the point in putting an exclamation point on their misery? To somehow convince them of the "error" in their ways to make them feel better? Haha, ok.

Last I checked, most members of the band are 50 or older. Am I wrong?
The "whiny, crying, sniveling, 50 year olds" of which you so arrogantly and insultingly speak are the very reason that this band has been around for 25 years. It's their loyal support for this band that has paved the way for the younger generations to have the opportunity to engage in the sublime experience that is Pearl Jam.
Could be that a few self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, arrogant, and entitlement generation of mellinials blew the whistle on those taking advantage of the early sale glitch, no?
I doubt it though. Just as dumb to blame the "Me" generation as it is to blame 50 year olds.
And no, I'm not 50! I'm 49.
Now please get off my lawn.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Geez, you score two tickets to good seats, that you don't even end up getting, and you get blasted for being "underhanded" and "unfair". Such selfishness. It would be like me saying to someone, " I hope you don't get any tickets today from the sale. It'll improve my odds of getting them."
Would it have been fair to the people waiting today until noon? No, but as the NYAG said, it's a fixed game. It's unfair to begin with, so I would have had no problem w/ people scoring tickets a day early because tickets.com f'ed up.
Good luck to everyone today.
We're all fans, no need to attack each other.
Good luck this morning getting tix ya'll.

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
My girlfriend has friends coming into town to see Coldplay in July and I've been roped into going too. One of them is a member of Coldplay's fanclub and got us tickets that way. Based on where those seats are in a HUGE football stadium (Hint: they are far, FAR from the stage) I am thankful 10c gets us the tickets they do.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
I've bought tickets to shows where these fees ended up adding as much or MORE to the total cost as the single ticket itself!!!
