    I just renewed yet again, and I really don't even know why...I pay the money each year and yet they haven't played California in more than six years, and seniority doesn't even seem to matter anymore. I guess I just keep paying because I know the year I finally don't, they'll do a theater tour with reserved seating and distribute tickets strictly according to seniority, like they once did.

    Is that true? Doesn't feel so bad that it's coming up to 6 years for NZ! I'm the same as you though. Can't stop, and they know it!

    Seniority does matter.  Please stop with the myth that it doesn't.

    The two biggest myths when it comes to a 10C membership.  Guaranteed tickets and seniority not mattering anymore.  
    You are guaranteed to have an opportunity to get tickets before the general public via a lottery. It doesn't mean you'll get them.
    Seniority 100% still applies when it comes to reserved seating.

    I think when people say it doesn't matter anymore, when the band has been playing GA for the last while, I think most people are just talking about not "winning" tickets in the first 10 rows, especially with the added perk of getting front and centre without having to piss yourself for the rail.

    I've been an analog member since 2017 and have never received any vinyl or the supposed magazine.  I understand we're supposed to get the singles once eventually released, but what about the magazine?  Has anyone else received this in the last 3 years, or is it just me that is not getting it?

    That's exactly it...having to stand in line all fucking day (assuming you even manage to score GA) to actually try to get close is bullshit. Maybe if I were 22, or unemployed, but I am neither, so as a Ten Club member since 1995 I shouldn't have that as my only option.

    Actually the biggest myth is a combo of the 2, people who believe that seniority gives you an advantage in acquiring tickets.

    Well the good news is... it's not your only option!

    I've come around this belief as well.

    The shows I want to go to are local and the lottery odds are very poor. Combine that with the the paucity of reserved seats held for 10C presales, and the removal of vinyl as part of the Analog package and that level of membership is poor value for me.

    Wish I had read this thread before renewing; I'll move to Digital next year.

    Pearl Jam does A LOT right by their fans, which is why it sticks out to me, and I'd imagine other fans when they do something that feels like a clear mistake or misstep. The way they handled the deluxe Blu-ray for PJ 20, the reissues with remixed albums and very few bonus tracks even though they have a huge archive of demos and live tracks from those eras that could have been present and the lack of communication on why certain shows  weren't coming as bootlegs (PJ 20, Wrigley 1, VFC tour, Benefit with Robert Plant etc.) all seemed like great charity fundraising opportunities for something fans wanted; and of course, the poor communication on these missing singles. While I do believe the missing vinyl singles will eventually come, the last update given I recall was that it was an artwork issue, which was several months ago. To me, especially since they have all of the fanclub singles digitized,  and just did the 12  Days of Pearl Jam, an easy opportunity would be to give the whole set of singles to all fanclub members currently active, or who were active while the time of the missing singles, and at the same time, let them know that they will still be getting the digitals for the missing singles when they come, as well as the vinyl for those who had analog memberships, and give an ETA.

    ^^^ They stopped doing right by their fans long ago. I truly don't believe that they give a shit about us anymore. They know they will sell out ballparks no problem, so why bother trying?

    Not in New Zealand it doesn't.

    Case in point - the last 'proper tour' to New Zealand was 2009 when they played 2 shows (Auckland and Christchurch). You could get tickets via tenclub, but from memory you could only get two, and they were GA only.  You could get more tickets, in better areas, in the general sale.

    Are the bootleg, tshirt, and physical Deep worth $20 to you?

    2020 TEN CLUB ANALOG MEMBER SHIRT





    Anyone know why, on January 10th, it says that my Analog code is invalid?  It says it expires 2/1 and my membership is caught up through this coming July.

    Thanks for any assistance!
