Hi, all! Longtime listener, first time member of the fanclub and PJ page.  Got my shirt and license plate ordered. What else do i need to know to best immerse myself in this group? Any dos/don'ts, etc that aren't spelled out. Like, unspoken rules or whatever? Not that I'm looking to break any...just happy to be here. Peace from the midwest!

    Advice would be to not take things personally when some share their opinions in a messed up way.
    All just people typing on a keyboard.  Sometimes jokes or sarcasm doesn't come across as intended.  (Other times people can be.....well, people.)

    There are, however, many very fine people here who love to help other fans and have fun communicating on the different forum topics.  Jump in and enjoy!

    Do not ever, even in jest, use the term "jamily"

    Also the Tenclub sucks.
    Oh wait the Tenclub is awesome
    The PJ fan club ticketing system is the worst

     Welcome, Bombchelle :hang_loose: Solid name!

    Hmmm, forum tips and suggestions....a few come to mind:

    - Newsletters drop at 10a pacific on the 10th of each month
    - Be quick on the draw for limited merch drops. @Santos L. Halper (w/ 10C) is your friend and posts links on the forum.
    - Check on the 'Given to Fly' forum during tour time for setlist relays....it's fun to follow along if that's your thing and you're not at the show
    - There's a lot of good people around here. And some crusty whiners too. Take it all with a grain of salt.
    - oh...and regardless of what you may hear otherwise on here Johnny Guitar is a bada$$ song :rock_on::glasses:

    Enjoy the ride....and the tour...and the new album....!!

    Yes because you'll need it when bragging and or complaining about your seat locations.
    Assuming you get lucky in the ticket lottery.

    Never ever disclose  your full membership number. For example 456XXX

    And welcome to da club

    So about your membership number.

    Typically when you enter ticket draws through ten club, everyone has the same shot at reserved seats, but when the winners are selected, the best seats go to the winners who have been in ten club the longest and the worst seats to people who have been in the shortest.  The higher the number, the worse the seats.  

    There’s a few nuances around all this.  Feel free to DM me when there is a draw.

    Welcome.  10th is always a good day to check things.  Incessant complaining about seats and poster availability, prices, and merch.......BUUUUTT some of the best  humans on earth, that are endlessly generous, selfless, and there for each other in times of trouble.  I am constantly reminded of the beautiful humans this band's music has brought and kept together.  Welcome to the club

    Oh yeah we love to put our numbers on our posts to show our age ....

    Welcome to Ten Club. The first rule of Ten Club is: you do not talk about Ten Club. The second rule of Ten Club is: you DO NOT talk about Ten Club!
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine.
