got tenclub?

Jason78

Here's something. I've been a member since '09. Why should I renew? I'm actually expired and have 30 days or else! No more single, no contest, no poster package....WTF? $40 for a T-shirt and dibs on tix....maybe.....if  they come to my area. It's not that hard to punch out a single. 2 years behind now. the waiting isn't cute anymore. If this was common or local commerce there would be hell to raise. This is complete BS. It's not even bullshit, this is horseshit. Why should I renew? tenclub?? Who exactly is my voice being heard from? Stone, what's up? One solid answer, I think, would satisfy most of us.

There are more than several threads that address this.  The search function is your friend.

I think you answered your own question and should leave.  

I pay to have access to tickets as they usually tour every year or other year and I can travel.   I like to post on here too.

Bless your heart.

I wasn’t being mean or anything.  You described the benefits and didn’t like them so pretty clear on the decision.

I love how everyone seems to think $40 gets them so much when sharing the outrage they feel about the way that the 10c handles their commitments re:annual singles.
I agree that it is totally crap management to not fulfill the annual single component of the membership...I just don't think $40 is worth freaking out about when I consider the things the membership does get me.  $40 doesn't get much these days.
Lunch.

Believe it or not, I wasn't either. 

Truth is, there are several threads where this very thing is discussed (sorry) to death. It's not invalidating the OP's point at all. However, it is what it is. Sadly, no matter how much we all (including myself) have discussed being frustrated by the very things included here, nothing has changed. It will happen when it happens and apparently that time is not now.

If I spend more than $10 on lunch I’m pissed.

I was thinking of when I take the family on Saturday....but ok, then, 4 lunches.

+/- $10 is usually determined by guac/no guac

Just do the $20 digital membership.

Ha!

Jason78

I'll pay $50 if I can have guac with my single. "free" guac with my next show? I'm down. I just want my fucking guac.

No single is a bummer.  The t-shirts all ended up being worn in the garden or to bed.  The Deep magazine went deep into the bookshelves somewhere.  So why stay?  Because the forums are you #1 entertainment value, news source, trading post, and omnium gatherum of clever phrases.  Where else are you going to get that for 10 bucks?!

Jason78

Oh, I'll definitely stay. I've been gone from the forum manor for 4 years past but I'm back. I'll just be moving in to the guest house out back. The rent is just too damn high.

I was in a bad mood the other day. I told my wife, “if they don’t do a west coast tour next year, I’m canceling my membership.” Because, there is no more singles, the access to tickets are that’s all we pay for now and they haven’t toured the west coast since 2013. She knew I was in a bad mood so she just said ok. The next day, she goes. Your never canceling your membership. It’s 40 bucks. Who cares. 

She is right. It’s 40 bucks. I dropped 45 on lunch today with the wife and daughter. Those shows when they come are soooooo worth it with the preferred perks that comes with ten club tickets. That’s worth the 40 a year.  The member only exclusives. The download. The shirt. Those are free toppings on the ice cream sundae that is PJ. Drop to 20 a year. Easy choice. If that 40 dollars makes that much of a difference, tickets are probably out of reach too. I understand the frustration. The club is not perfect. Nothing is. Shit Pearl Jam released Mankind. They can’t all be zingers. But for me, 40 is worth the price of admission for what the mystery box may bring.
