No Longer A Fan

PROBABLY IN THE WRONG DISCUSSION CATEGORY:
Unable to purchase a ticket to the San Diego show through the venue, as I normally do because I need a handicapped seat, because Pearl Jam will not allow venues to sell tickets to their concerts a policy that I do not believe is in the best interests of the fans. Entered the queue with less than 2,000 people ahead of me, got to 5th in line, and the website froze. I cannot log out and log back in because I am told I am already in the queue, but I cannot return to my previous queue position. Therefore, I was not able to get a ticket to see the Pearl Jam concert that I have been desperately waiting for for several years. Rather than get upset about this, I have decided that even though I have been a fan since 1991, I am no longer a fan. I will be cancelling my Ten Club membership as soon as I post this.

It is one show, I would say leaving the entire fandom of a band you have been following since 1991 may be a bit extreme
Not at all in the right category. This is where we generally talk about activism and good stuff. Another thread of the same stuff isn't exactly good stuff, but you'll have that.
Happy trails.

No one will like this post - call it cruel - it's not. Get over yourself and your disability. I got one too.
if i can say something, will say...
im pissed with this shit ticket system to, lost all ter GA (people of join in 10c last week get GA tickets/ Ticketmaster put me in a waitlist) is a complete shit...
....but, you know...we love this band...we love the sound, how this band still on the road and how they concern about the fans....
sometimes the arenas guidelines is very bad and dont give the correct accessibility for all people who need some special atention.
maybe just sent a e-mail for 10c team, explain the situation, they will be comprehensive an give you attention, i guarantee.
Be strong and keep on rocking. Hope see you on the road.
All the best
enough out of me. see ya on the road.
