Important Information Regarding Your Ten Club Membership
News December 21 2022

New Year, New Ten Club Membership Plan!

Beginning January 1, 2023, Ten Club will only offer one paid membership level.

Why is Ten Club changing the membership?

This is the first Ten Club change in membership levels or fees since 2011. The music world has changed significantly in that time as have people’s interests and environmental and financial costs. Our goal is to make the membership offering simple and accessible for everyone while delivering the most benefit to Ten Club members. We are continuing to focus on maximizing our ticket offering to the Ten Club and delivering the most relevant and exclusive benefits. 

What does the new model mean for current Analog and Digital members? 

All current Analog and Digital members will maintain their membership status and paid benefits until their 2023 renewal date, at which point the new level will be effective. All paid members are eligible for the perks offered in the new membership level as of January 1, 2023. 

Note: DEEP magazine will be discontinued at the end of 2022. 2020-2022 members will receive the applicable DEEP magazines when they are available.

My membership hasn’t renewed yet, when will I switch to the new level?

The new membership level will go into effect on your renewal date in 2023. 

Will my Ten Club seniority be changed or eliminated?

This change has no effect on your membership seniority status. 

Is there anything new offered with the change in levels?

Membership Items - Ten Club will offer members-only annual merchandise at discounted prices. Merchandise will be available in January 2023 for all current paid members regardless of your renewal date. 

Video Content - Exclusive access to video content in the “Inside” section of the video page. 

New for previously digital members - All members will receive a bootleg download code upon renewal for one free digital MP3 download of a Pearl Jam bootleg of choice.

 We have seen the feedback from the 2023 membership change announcement and are able to answer some of the commonly asked questions.  

Will the Ten Club Member items be in the European shop? 

We have seen the feedback regarding the Ten Club member items being in the UK store. We are working with our UK store partners to better serve Ten Club members outside of the U.S.

Will my membership auto-renew? 

Yes, as long as your billing info is up to date, your membership will still auto-renew with the same payment information in your account. The new membership offering will take effect upon your 2023 renewal date. You can see your renewal date on your membership page in your account. Your Ten Club seniority level will NOT be affected upon your next renewal date. 

Are the annual member shirts going away?

Annual member-item T-shirts are staying. Moving forward, the shirt will not be included with the price of the membership but will be available for purchase exclusively for Ten Club members at a specially discounted price. 

*Beginning in 2023 all current members will be eligible to purchase any of that years’ exclusive items. They can be purchased individually or as a discounted bundle. 

*Note: Member items will be available all year to current members regardless of renewal date. Even if your membership doesn’t renew until later in the year, you can purchase the new member items beginning January 1, 2023. 

1) Annual Ten Club T-Shirt - $15.00

2) Ten Club License Plate - $15.00

3) Ten Club Sticker - $1.00

4) Ten Club Member item Bundle - $20.00

Am I remembering wrong that the digital membership last year was only $20?

mookeywrench

A change!?!?!? Nooooooo!

JimmyV

This is fine. My membership increases $15 in price, but I get $10 to use when buying boots. Everything is all good as long as they keep touring and playing shows.

I am an analog member, so I am all for this since they discontinued the annual single. But, I can see how some digital members may not be as happy paying more money.

For those of us who don't buy more stuff and don't do downloads is simply another case of high inflation and the only choice is to pay up or quit. 

Hmmm.  Maybe time to say adios. 

This sucks.

It was.

But now everyone pays $35 and gets everything.

No more DEEP magazine, but video content.

So no more Analog member tees? That stinks. Have a nice collection of those.

What ist going on for 2023?
Does everybody get a payrise of 75%?

So no more Analog Tees. Also, I’ve yet to score tix in Ten Club presales so what’s the point? I was already considering canceling and this pretty much confirms that I should.

Come on Dudes, trink about it.

35 $

5 $ for Vitalogy
10 $ for Download 

20 $ a year is more than ok. A year!!!!
I am an Analoge member.
If the annual T-Shirt will cost 20-30 $ in future everything will be alright.

 the code u have is for 2022 shirt ..u cant keep it to use it for 2023 shirt anyway(if there was a 2023 with old system )

JimmyV

Nobody likes price increases, but the analog membership needed to be addressed with both the single and now DEEP gone. Lowering that price while increasing digital, tossing in some new benefits for those paying more, and eliminating the tiers makes sense.

Well you're getting a bootleg with it which has a market value of $10 which puts the membership allocation at $25. 

Then membership fees haven't increased since 2011.

$20 in 2011 is worth $26.50 today. So in comparison you're saving $1.50 on the deal.

 i always loved math..well done 

JimmyV

If they brainstormed ideas, I'd be stunned if no one at least suggested restricting the ticket benefit into a higher premium level of membership. I'm glad they didn't go down that road. 

dimitrispearljam

for international analog members actually is  more the cost .

Cos let's say u buy a membership item shirt for special price of 15 dollars. That means 35 membership +15 shirt.. This is 50 as u paid before with no deep magazine and single vinyl.. Now add to that to international. Shipping for the shirt..another 15$?total 65.

So for the same thing with out deep. Magazine u will pay 15$ more(plus more taxes cos the shirt isnt for free anymore )
