How much would you pay?

In annual membership fees in order to keep your Ten Club number. I would probably go as high as 100$. I feel like I have too much time invested to just walk away. 

I'm just hoping they do something spectacular before they hang it up. Like a two day Ten club Member only concert. Seating by sonority of course.

    $40 bucks if we got a Christmas single.  $20 bucks otherwise.  I've been priced out.

    I'm not sure.  Not happy about the $35, but I'm not going to walk away from it either.   I live in reasonable travel distance of Seattle and Vancouver. Between the two cities there is generally a show to see every couple of years (plus the odd time I've traveled further to a show). 

    For me the most useful benefits of the membership were the Christmas single and presale ticket access.  One of those is gone (and I lowered from Analog to Digital when it happened).   I guess if the bigger impact would be if they stopped touring.  I really hope that's not anytime soon, and that we have many years to go, but I'm not sure the membership has much value if it's not for presale tickets.

    Which is a bit of a bummer really.   The membership went from being pretty amazing, to being more like memberships of bands where you feel like you're paying a premium for ticket access (except other bands there wasn't ticket seniority so you could drift in/out for just the years you wanted tickets). 

    but yah.. short version, if I wasn't buying tickets anymore, it's probably already at the price.  The tickets are more important to me than the cost.

    For what we currently get? I’d go as high as $45. 

    Ideally, they do $100 level and we get the vault vinyl/DL thrown in. 

    Maybe they do a $50 version for CD/DL

    and do away with the choice of DL and just do $35 for a digital vault only level.

    $50 a year for what we get right now (essentially dibs on GA tickets)

    I would spend up to $100-150 a year if the ever band showed stronger interest in touring more

    Stubhub has about a $400 premium for 2 tickets based on where my seniority usually gets me.

    My current average of utilizing the fanclub's ticket lottery is now about once every 4 years. Effectively Stubhub offers me a guaranteed ticket with a reasonable seat selection of choice for $100 a year.

    20% discount to the Ten club for lack of seat selection and 30% discount to Ten club for lack of guarantee. 

    $50 per year as-is

    $80 per year if they could guarantee a ticket

    $100 if they could guarantee a ticket and let me choose the seat vicinity

    This thread cracks me up. Why are we saying how much we'd be willing to pay and what they can take away and still be willing to pay it on the forum that determines these prices?

    Yeah. More touring and places where we could tailgate again would be a great change.

    Well. This is where we are. I'm sure the Ten club has internal talks all the time at what price point they can offer and not lose too many people before it affects their bottom line. 

    I don't think the 25 or so members who reply to this thread will get their attention.

    I wish the free digital download was Flac, not exclusively MP3 for a fanclub subscription.

    Even at 50 for essentially dibs on reserved 10club seats. I'm happy. 
  • ZodZod Posts: 10,516
    At least if in your in it for Ga you don't have to sub every year as seniority doesn't impact GA :)

    Have said it a countless times,

    They should add a tenclub only show every tour at the end of the tour or wherever. Maybe hard if you are under livenations thumb or whatever reason. But still.

    Ten Club only shows would be a disaster. There isn't a perfect location. There would never be enough tickets. Seating locations would include even the worst spots in the house, leading to some people losing their shit.

    There's bands (some that I like and some that I don't) that request $25-50 a month for Patreon benefits...and they don't even sell out 1500 person concert halls. Pearl Jam's old (and new) pricing system is a steal.

    Wouldn't a smaller band have more reason to ask for help from fans? Pearl Jam can cover their needs by merch and selling out arenas.

    With the fan to fan exchange working nicely in the US - it seems like there will always be tickets available so $40 to $50 seems to be my personal cap for tough to get tickets, GA, some 10c merch access, and vault vinyls.  Would be nice to see shipping costs normalized for 10c members though with the added costs.
