SHOCKER: my tickets from yesterday are on stubhub

SPEEDY MCCREADY

I do!!

I have what could be, the WORST possible seat in MSG.
And I could give a flying fuck.
I will be in NYC, eating corned beef, a slice of pizza, drinking 4,264 beers with my friends, and having a great time.

Like any other improperly regulated industry, ticketing is the jungle and you do anything you can to obtain tickets at face value. Play by the rules and get lapped by cheaters. I'm supposed to ignore a link to the ticketing site that bypasses the virtual waiting room and just in the vwr while all the tickets disappear? For who, for what? Moralists!

And when 10club members are trying to tell me that it wasn't fair to the general public? Well that cracks me up too.

The general public? The same general public that you 10club members refuse to sit with? The same general public that only knows a few songs like "Jeremy" and "Even Flow"? The same general public that only knows the songs off 10?

That general public that 10club members have been insulting to, here on this board, for YEARS?

Now you are concerned that the general public didn't get a "fair chance" in getting some of the best seats available for Fenway?

Who the fuck are you kidding?

All I know is, Thursday there were many people on here who had tickets and were going to use them and couldn't wait for the show. No chance of reselling. Now those tickets are on all the ticket websites selling for absurd $$. Mine are on there for sure. Where's the fairness in that? It's not like we did anything wrong. The tix were there, I bought them. Any of you who had the chance would have done the same thing. If you say you wouldn't because you were "worried" about "fairness" to others I don't believe that for one second.

I wouldn't have bought them under the assumption that they would be cancelled, and fairness does factor into that assumption.

You wouldn't have taken a chance? Not buying it. Whats the worse that can happen? You get tix or they cancel. Who wouldn't take a chance?

No, I wouldn't. I'd rather my account not be short a couple hundred bucks for a week or two. Wouldn't take that chance on something that wasn't very likely to happen, especially with the legitimate onsale happening the next day.

There was a House Bill passed last year - but I guess it didn't help or it's not implemented yet (?)

So it was a money issue.
Now tell me how you would have handled it, if you had $10K in your account.

Been to around ten shows. Have never had fan club tickets. Have always had a good time. Casual fans deserve a chance to see the band too and I'd much rather sit with them as they experience the band for the first time than sit with some elitist members of this message board. You're generalizing the entire club based on a small collective of shitty people, and I feel sorry for you if your enjoyment of a show is hampered by any of the crap you just listed.

The crap I just listed? You would get a good laugh if I posted all the CRAP I have witnessed when it comes to some 10club members, and what they will do in order to get their precious tickets.

And am I referring to EVERYONE in the 10club? Of course not.

I would appreciate a good laugh. Give us some of the good crap.

Go do a pushup.

I've been doing push-ups, since you started that thread, pretty regularly. My maximum has actually gone down. I can do a lot more sets of 15 though. Kind of frustrating.

I've always went for reserve and am 100 percent. Would like to make a GA in my lifetime.
Thought I was gonna get some hot tips.

I am a reserved kind of guy too. And like yourself, have never lost out on the lottery.
Better safe than sorry.

Congrats on the "Healthier You" !!!!!!

Speedy,
anyone that says they knew the tix would be cancelled and they wouldn't have bought them if they were staring them in the face is lying. The only thing that people knew is once they were cancelled the scalpers were getting them instead of the fans on here who appreciate them and like you said would be happy to sit anywhere.

I admit there would come a point where I certainly would have. Like I said though, fairness is factoring into my assumption that the order would be cancelled. I'm not professing that I wouldn't do it strictly because morals. From my perspective, it's certainly cheating other people out of an opportunity to nab tickets. At the same time, it's not nearly as bad as say...people who flip tix on StubHub to attend more shows. If I saw it on Thursday just browsing tickets.com, I probably wouldn't have even tried. If I was at the thread at the time everyone else was figuring out about it, I probably would have because now the floodgates are open. I wouldn't want to get shut out if word of mouth spread and the sale never closed down and the tickets happened to be honored. I wouldn't be upset or remotely surprised if I had my nice turf seat taken away from me though.

Pearl Jam is playing the Garden two nights and Philly two nights and Fenway two nights and Wrigley 2 nights - that is freaking awesome! I joined this fanclub for the messageboard, believe it or not - to connect with other fans who shared a love for a band that I had followed as a regular person for over two decades. I only found out that they had presales and bootleg downloads and analog shirts that I never got cause my code expired AFTER I had joined. It is intimidating to come onto a fan site that has been in existence for quite some time and post and try to find a place. I have had the shittiest 3 years of my life and I joined to have a place to escape and make friends perhaps. I was happiest when someone directed me to the Hannah cause - that was a great way to start here, but after two years, I still feel like an outsider.

Twice I had tickets to see Pearl Jam and twice I was sabotaged by my ex when he caught wind that I was going to go have fun and made sure that it didn't happen. It sucked, but that's my challenge to deal with and learn from so it doesn't happen this time. I am making sure that I am not going to be sabotaged this time with help from my shrink who specailizes in PTSD and domestic violence and parental alienation. It is going to be hard as hell to get out and get to the concert but I'll be damned if I don't do it.

This is exciting, I don't care where my seats are - I'm going to see a band that I have wanted to see for a long time. I can't talk about the awesome show in 98 or the time they played the longest and I was in the second row and got the setlist and I don't care. I don't understand why having seen them a certain amount of times at a certain point in their career in the most awesome seats or best venue makes a difference. Be happy that you experienced that. What awesome memories.

It is the Spring/Summer Tour of 2016 - they are playing some awesome venues and I am lucky to live in the Northeast and be able to go to these places. This is an exciting time. But it is a concert. And in the scheme of things, there are people who are going through a lot worse shit than being shut out of a show or not getting to sit as close as they used to.

And in some people's comments, there is the implication that anyone who is new or doesn't belong to the fanclub (which accounts for more of their fanbase than the fan club - most people DO NOT join fan clubs - I know at least 30 people, if not more, who tried for tickets the old fashioned way, public sale. Some got tickets, some will go to stub hub, some won't go.) But the 'casual fan' references are a real turn off. Makes people not want to post because it seems that if you haven't been here since at least No Code, you are not worth their time. You are not a super fan. You don't know what they know. It makes people feel unwanted. Even in threads, some people post and are never acknowledged, while other people have conversations amongst each other like the rest of us don't exist. It's not cool and it's not what I expected when I joined 10club.

A fan is a fan and every fan wants to see their favorite bands in concert. Period. Be happy that there are opportunities to see them and they are together and we can all see them and if someone doesn't know the B side of the 99 Christmas single, it doesn't make them any less of a fan than anyone else.

I can't wait to see them - my first time will be in Virginia and I'll be behind the stage alone and nervous because of all that I've read about how people are at concerts. But once the music starts, I won't care. And if anyone chooses to not like me because of my honesty about my life situations or my opinions - that's none of my business. I joined so I could be me after years of being beaten down. I am working through some heavy shit and having this wonderful band touring is a bright spot and a challenge that I am ready to tackle. I didn't think I would come onto the board and feel bad. It doesn't make any sense.

I hope to see you Speedy at MSG before you get to the 2000th beer!
This is a happy time, I say, a happy time!!

most 10c members ive encountered over the years seemed honest respectful and genuinely nice people. having said that the 10C members do have a bad rep.

Just like everywhere the few assholes get noticed more than others. That being said; I've seen more clicks in this club over the last 20 years and multiple message boards than a bad 80's high school movie.

I haven't had a cold delicious beer in over 19 years, but you can buy me water and a pretzel. And cheese sauce if they have it.

I've never understood why scalping tix at the venue is illegal but scalping them through a ticket broker online is perfectly legal and you can sell them for whatever the market will bring

One is done by a "street thug" and one is done by a man in a tie and a suit. I'm not sure who's the real crook though. That's a different question.
