And you all are complaining about some singles of tracks you have probably heard?

Pearl Jam playing long show for decent tickets prices  =/= not delivering on something promied that you have a year to get your shit together about and =/= the tenclub being inept in basic communication with their paying costumers.

Stop with the "They gave everything to us including PURE LOVE so how dare you critize anything about how they opeate?!". It's embarrasing. 

Shouldn't we be updated on why they can't get a Christmas single done after all the PURE LOVE we have shown them?

I didn't come here to argue. Pearl Jam are the bosses... if there's nothing to put out, there's nothing to put out.

End of story.

Fine, but don’t make us pay for something up front you can’t fucking deliver on.

Technically its an annual single. Granted, there should be one annually. But the onus is on the band. 10c operates on their whims. Shitting on them doesn't accomplish much. If the band can't be bothered to do one, then it is what it is. Blame them. 

That being said, the single can't be the sole reason people subscribe. People want tickets. People want merch. if you aren't happy with at least one of those 3 things, then maybe the club isn't for you and you should save your $40. Even if you quit, you'll get your missing single at some point. Just move on. 

I'll never get the level of dissatisfaction with the 10c. Yeah, communication can occasionally be bad.  Yep, the single has been late every year since 94. To be fair, us fans do have some unreasonable expectations from time to time. 

Sure, you have the right to bitch and moan as a dissatisfied customer. But its kinda shouting into the void at this point though, no?  The 10c usually makes good, even if its late and occasionally poorly communicated. But if you are generally unhappy, just quit.



Its also possible that some fans are in too deep (I'm really fucking sorry for that - I hate shit like that), and maybe they need a step back and realize its a fan club for a 25+ year old rock band and that, at most $5, of your annual fee goes to a 7" record, so decide if its for you or not. 
 

Lazy response. Deliver the product you promise. The reason they get away with it is because too many people are complacent with the behavior, as your response indicates. Well, I’m not. I’m done saying “it’s 10 Club, it’ll get there when it gets there.” In a week it will be closer to 2020 than 2017 and yet we still don’t have our 2017 promised items - that we paid for - fulfilled. How anyone can be ok with that, especially when this is the 3rd year in a row now, is beyond me. I did stop paying $40 this year. I pay $20 now. But where are my 2017 goods?

Just downgraded to digital, first time in 25 years. Have to object with your $ IMO to get anything done.

You shouldn’t have to ”vote with your wallet” to a FANCLUB of a band you love. 

Its not suppose to be some shadowy, unreachable company that refuses to keep their customers up to date and only start to do shit when your local consumer ombudsman (<— swedish word) forces them.

Agreed.

I just did as well.

Its nothing new.  There is nothing to communicate.  Are people really that desperate for a nugget of information?

I should have gone digital a few years ago as I also pay extra $ being international but Ïd be almost as much buying the record in the shop and paying shipping. The only benefit would be not paying years in advance.

That's what I was saying. What are they going to say... Sorry we have nothing for you. lol

That all great and I very much agree.  Not really relevant to the topic, but great anyway.

Uhh it is relevant. A DELAYED single, because it always gets here, not just when they say, is small potatoes when you consider all they've done for the fans throughout their career.

Sorry TC for being ungrateful. What was I thinking? Keep my money and don't comply to your obligations. We are not worthy.

Bullshit. We’re paying members. Thy don’t get excused because they have rollover vibes.

Thanks 10 Club for all you do.

I don't know why (maybe the last two lines), but that made me think about something they can do.. PJ should record something in the vein of Ramblings again, you know like the first one on the first ever xmas single, title could be "Ramblings again - We're Sorry". Some ramblings with Mike playing acoustic guitar and all of them apologizing for the delay, Eddie doing some Springsteen mocking, whatever.. This would be side B, and side A just a blistering cover of Territorial Pissings. I know I would forgive them. You all know you want it.

Full diapers were hung on the mailbox with care
In hopes their single soon would be there

Doesn’t bother me. I pay $40 every time I fill up my gas tank. I appreciate the Ten Club, especially all the vinyl I’ve acquired over the years. The floor seats weren’t bad either. 

Spiritual_Chaos

Soon someone will post that they dont even want the single and hope that Tenclub delays it Forever.

How many of these are we behind now? I find it hilarious that I actually don’t know.
