the amount of people who defend the tenclub boggles my mind. i in fact did not try to get tickets. this has been going on the last few tours with these server problems though. an upgrade is way overdue. you cannot justify not doing it. add that on top of the poor customer service we have been getting lately. they need to get their shit together.

friends don't let friends listen to good charlotte
In '03, I filled out my 3x5 index cards, my wrote my checks, and mailed them in for these shows.
-Charlotte
-Raleigh
-District of Columbia
-Philly (I believe that only night 1 was initially available, but I went both nights when the second night was a "public sale" only)
-MSG night 1 & 2
I got tickets for every show that I applied to.
I have no idea how many people were turned down, or even how many tickets were available compared to this tour, nor do I know what policies have changed with that shitstain company TicketBastard. I also imagine that the method used in '03 involved a lot more paperwork for the fine folks of the 10C. This electronic method probably reduces that...I would hope so. Because otherwise, there isn't much of an advantage of doing it this way than instant gratification and the ease of pointing and clicking for the tickets, for the lucky individuals who are able to get them.
I just know that everyone had an equal, fighting chance, by doing the same amount of work in 2003.
And no amount of logic and "sorry, that's the way it goes," or "what are you, four years old?" or inane comments about SUV's are going to assuage my bitter rage.
It is my right to vent. Upon my right to vent may depend my health, or at least the health of my laptop.
So if I want to quote the great Floyd Manzera and tell the tenclub to "Go choke on a gorilla dick," then it is my right to do so.
I am not doing that, mind you, but I reserve that right.
Carry on with your day.
Ten minutes until a carbon copy of what happened earlier.
P.S. to DocChicago: Aren't there bungholes that need scoping?

In all honesty I have never expierienced this stuff, and I have let my membership lap, been late with xmas orders and call them and pester them, and it always is pleasant.
No. The frustration is borne of being falsely lulled into a pretext of having some kind of access, some kind of privilege that others do not. But, it really doesn't matter because it's still a Grunion Run style scramble, just a smaller one.
Is venting our frustration really hurting anyone? No.
Please, if you are furious, post here and post proudly.
I'm just really sad
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
I haven't heard this much bitching from New Yorkers since your defeat by the Red Sox in 2003.
class act.
this is a dumb post for 2 reasons:
1. rubbing it in makes you look like a prick
2. it was 2004, not 2003. 2003 was Aaron Boone and his stupid homer.
It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

can someone point out to me where in the fan club rules it says that by being a member you are guaranteed tickets to a particular show? oh wait it doesn't say that.
if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.
