There’s a lot wrong with the current system, but to be fair, the fan club has nothing to do with the PJ Premium tickets or the verified sale. The fan club draw was earlier in the process. Not everyone got tickets, but all fan club draw tickets were at standard price. It does suck that Live Nation/TM have taken more and more good seats away from Ten Club and into the Premium inventory, but that isn’t the Ten Club’s fault. Just some facts for ya.TK694 said:Sadly, after being a fan club member since 1994, being a fan club member no longer gets you at least 2 tickets to a show and at a fair price. I came off the waitlist on Friday for one of the 5 shows I registered for (Philly 9/9). The best seats I was offered tickets for were in the first seating section off of the floor seating/pit in the 4th to last row stage left for $667 PER TICKET! That is disgusting and I have lost A LOT of respect for the band. This was the band I grew up with and if I had to say when asked the most important music in my life it would be PJ. I am happy to pay more because of the costs increases the last few years, the wages of all the tour workers, etc. $200/250 per ticket, $400-500 for 2 great seats would be steep, but I'd pay that. But $1334 for 2 tickets? No thanks, not enriching already wealthy "artists".
It is the bands fault though. They DO get a say in how TM conduct the sale & pricing. Bands can say a firm NO to dynamic pricing, making sure prices don't go crazy. Like The Cure did for instance.RatherStarved said:There’s a lot wrong with the current system, but to be fair, the fan club has nothing to do with the PJ Premium tickets or the verified sale.

Not disclosing obstructions is an issue for sure. It’s a different issue than this though.JABK said:Yes, and they could mention that 10C tickets also mean sections with obstructed view.
Member since 2003 and I got Block 111. In 09 and 2012 at MEN my Manchester 10c seats were in first 5 rows of what is Block 102 at this new venue. Very disappointed and quite surprised to be further away than newer members but glad for anyone who got great seats.neddie vedder said:I got 10C seats for Manchester in block 103 so not too bad actually, member 15+ yearsmichaeljam said:Did anyone get 10c seats for Manchester? Curious about locations people got?
I've been a member for about 20 years, and in section 108 at the back.
Got decent blocks for the Barcelona shows - 105 & 122 - but obviously still not as good as the usual 10c blocks.
Did anyone else gets Barcelona seats?
Member since 2003 and I got block 111. Very strange. In 09 and 12 I got the equivalent of Block 102 at MEN. Something is wrong. I emailed 10c but no reply.michaeljam said:Did anyone get 10c seats for Manchester? Curious about locations people got?

i'm sure we'll enjoy the show and i'm very much looking forward to the album. yet that doesn't mean i'll leave my ethics at the door. i don't like people being taken advantage of this way. "fans" are easy targets anyway, they tend to pay whatever it takes to "not miss out" and "experience cherished moments". people are frustrated/disappointed for a reason - this is a fcked up system and i'm glad lots of people don't support it. the only tiny chance to change anything,tino_11 said:Great post. People need to voice their frustration and I think with time passing we’ll focus on the shows not the cost (unless you’ve been priced out of course). Hopefully positivity from the new album sets us up for a great tour!Its_Imbas said:I’m hoping all of those who are feeling disappointed will have their spirits lifted as it get closer to show time. There have been so many good points made on this thread. Preaching patience in procurement of tix is Grand Prix.
Are they expensive; sure , but if this live experience is one of our collectively most cherished moments
Isn’t it worth the tax
those are pretty good seats! the view doesn't seem very obstructedJABK said:Yes, I was hoping that 10C tickets for Waldbühne would've been a little bit better than section E2 (possible obstructed view)...but then again that section is closest to the stage. So if I see the band and the sound is good I'm a 100% sure I'm going to be super stoked. Plus I'm going with a friend who is a new fan and has never seen PJ before.

we got GA, but if i knew the 10C seats were in this area, i would have chosen the seats 
hope you'll enjoy the show! The tickets are available in an MLB account. Not sure if they are also in Ticketmaster. I had to create a MLB account.

They should be viewable in there.BB111227 said:I received an email confirming for N2 Chicago, but still no further followups on location. Anyone get theirs for this show yet?
Were you charged for the tickets?BB111227 said:goldenegg said:Email the support address. I had that issue with Vegas N1 and they had to fix something on their side for the seat assignment to come through.BB111227 said:I received an email confirming for N2 Chicago, but still no further followups on location. Anyone get theirs for this show yet?Oh boy, I did both and support just sent me to the PJ faq link. Tickets are not in my account either, but I did get the confirmation email. Officially concerned.Poncier said:Check your Ticketmaster account.

Don't know, but I just sent an email to Ten Club. Not to complain about the ticket prices, but putting Ten Club members in sections with obstructed view in Berlin for the same full price.magindublin said:Anyone know if band or representatives has commented anything about the criticism from the fans regarding ticket prices?
PJ wont lost money.Daan.Pearljam said:Maybe PJ will have to cancel the EU tour? With these ticket sales they will lose money coming here.
They can come back next year with a proper EU tour, announced on time and with normal prices.
I just got a 2nd email today reminding me Barcelona tickets are on sale. Not sure if they are automated but I don't remember two emails like that in 3 days for other shows so maybe they are panicking a bit.magindublin said:Anyone know if band or representatives has commented anything about the criticism from the fans regarding ticket prices?
