Honest question re: member numbers

ClipOnGirl

My boy friend and I are both members, but we usually use his number since it's 82xxx and mine's 164xxx.  I'm pretty sure I joined in 96 and he joined a few years before that.

Didn't our number used to be our login? Maybe I was dumb and just made it my first username or something, but I remember typing it every time I logged in. Sort of like my first phone number, never forget it. That's why I remember it. 

Did you join in 2000?  If so, I had 142xxx in 96, that would mean only 30,000 people joined from 96 to 00.  Haven't we had about 30k join since the beginning of December?

I'm 172-something and joined in 98.

What I don't get is on in the Lost Dogs section of the forum, when people sell items, they will edit the post to delete the sold price, or hide the AP number of a poster. 

I would just like to know , why? It's not like it's a password , we never need to know it except for bitchfest reasons,

and wow to everyone in the thread who posted.and just put their number down with 3 X's . Wow, thats awesome. 

It might be because your 10c number was the default password given to you when you make your account. If you don’t bother to change it, then I guess people put in the x’s. 

I don't think the member number was ever the default password. But it might have been apparently

How long have you been a member to be in the 100000s?
Is it known if there are many active members under 100000?

I'd have to think a lot of people have moved on as they've grown up and started families, as much as they love(d) the music.

I’m 163xxx and joined November of 1997. 

Thats exactly when i joined.  I HAD a 163xxx number.  Let it go in 2009 accidentally....

511515......I'm pretty sure. I would have to look it up to be sure. But it's close to that if I'm wrong.

Been lucky with the ticket gods since I got it. I like it for the most part.

I don’t know the timeframes, but I joined in 2000 and my member # was my password by default because I didn’t change it for years.

152xxx 1996 hasn’t been put to much use since they started doing smaller tours and baseball event shows.  But I keep hoping I get lucky and they play close enough that I won’t have to spend hundreds just to get to a show.  I did travel to Miami in 2016 and got floor seats and a special ten club entrance so that was worth it.  Amazing show! I hadn’t seen them live in about 10 yrs so figured I could treat myself to a flight and an Airbnb.  This time around nearest show is OKC which is a 5+ hour drive plus hotel......almost doable I went back and forth and settled on taking a pass

It is another avenue for hackers to get into an account by posting the whole number, just another fact they have about you.  I'm pretty sure we all have cc info saved on this site; it's just another fail safe, I guess.  And I'm sticking to it, 208XXX.

Wait. Hackers can log in to my Pearl jam account with my member number?

How does this work? Or are you just saying stuff?

No I'm not just saying stuff . . . well maybe I am because I don't know how hackers hack, so I figure the more info they have the easier it is to hack into an account.  If they can hack in our PJ account, then they can find out more personal info on us and hack into our other accounts.   I'm just a scared person petrified of identity theft.  It's SO wrong, and it scares the hell out of me.  I don't have the means to climb out of it, what's mine is mine.  Sometimes I feel like I should just curl up in a ball and never leave home.   So to answer your question, I don't know how it works but you're not getting my fan club number no matter how hard you try.  hahahahahaha.  The sad thing is, there is some truth and some humor in this post.

Can't remember but its possible the member number was at one time a default password.

I do recall it used to be printed on the address label of the newsletters when they would show up in the mail in the 90's.

I'd have to think a lot of people have moved on as they've grown up and started families, as much as they love(d) the music.

My number is 89xxx. I joined Ten Club in 1994. I don’t post a lot on this message board. I got burned out on other PJ and Car forums back in the 90s... I know plenty of sub 100k numbers of people who still have memberships. Much lower numbers than mine...

And to the original poster, I think most people don’t list their entire fan club number for fear of some sort of identity theft/subterfuge. During certain ticket permutations the low numbers were worth their weight in gold. Like 2003 for instance because of the ‘block system’ they were using at that time to pick tickets. 

Today, I’m just killing time until they tell me my seat locations... good luck everybody. 

I'm 10xxx. I technically joined the Club when I sent a letter to the band sometime in '91 as a 15 year old, thanking them for their music. I was sent the first Xmas single that year and started getting them yearly. Frankly, I don't even think I paid for the first decade.

The first time I used my number to see them in the Bay Area for the Halloween show in 2000, a few days before George Bush got elected. I remember geeking out that my number was the first on the posted sign at the pick up line! I believe I was on the 7th row center then. Excited to see them again in Oakland this year, 20 years after that last show! Yup, my seat is great for that one.

That is a sick number. Shame you've only used it twice. See you in Oakland, I'm gonna be deeply vested in the general admission line/happenings for those shows.
