If the birdy is bringing news of a tour why didnt Kat talk about memberships?

musicismylife78

Seems before a tour announcement Kat always says we all should have our memberships up to date. if its a tour announcement coming mid week why didnt she mention it?

SomethingCreative

good question...maybe more festival dates?

I was wondering that myself and the only thing I came up with is that this week they will now have clearance to announce shows (since Bonnaroo has been on sale for awhile now) but maybe tickets won't go on sale for about a month. I think they will announce the shows and then tell us to have our memberships in order. Just a thought, could be dead wrong.

They didn't remind to renew before the Ed solo tickets were sold, did they?

Maybe with this tweet, she just knows that we know to get our ducks in a row (i.e. membership up to date) before the mid-week tweet.

No and as a matter of fact, to be eligible for the Ed solo show 10c presale one had to have membership current the DAY BEFORE tim announced the shows

**Eddie Vedder April Fools Tour

---

Eddie Vedder will embark on a small, west coast, solo tour beginning April 2nd in Vancouver, BC and ending April 15th in San Diego, CA (full list of tour dates below).


Ten Club pre-sale tickets will go up for purchase on
http://www.tenclub.net/goods/ beginning at 10am PST on Monday, February 18,
2008. There are a very limited amount of tickets, so once sold out through
the Ten Club, your next available chance to purchase tickets will be during
the public on-sale.

Tickets for the general public will go on sale on Friday, February 22nd at
10am* PST through http://www.ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets. (*Note:
Santa Barbara goes on sale Friday, February 29th at 10am PST).

Fan Club members active as of Feb. 14th will qualify for the 10c pre-sale.
Due to the limited amount of fan club tickets available only US and Canadian
members will qualify for the pre-sale. We apologize to our overseas members!


ETC, etc, etc........

Maybe they have just finalyl realized that we all know what a tweet means.

There really is no need to be reminding us to renew a few days before every announcement seeing as every show will sell out (most in a matter of minutes) anyway.

I agree. I think 10c assumes that will all realize we should make sure our memberships are up to date when a "tweet" alert comes out. Don't the announcements usually give a day or two before the cut-off for eligibility anyways?

You usually had to be current the day before the announcement

it COULD be simply b/c if it's a VFC type of minitour like in 2004....there were NO 10c tix, thus no need for up-to-date memberships. just one of numerous possibilities.

Or maybe after all the bitching by everyone on here about VIC tix and Eddie solo tix, they said fuck it no 10club tix.

Come on. It's Monday morning!

There were 10c tickets in 04 - they were handled via TM - there was no senority.

I think the reason there were no 10c tickets in 2004 was that the VFC tour was organized by move-on.org. I suppose that could be the case again this year but this seems a bit early to be annoucing shows that would likely take place in October.

I've been thinking about this a lot the last couple days and my best guess is a small number of shows surrounding Bonaroo in June.

I can't imagine a 10c member who would see the "tweet" annoucement, realize his/her membership had expired, and decide not to bring it up to date because the "tweet" alert said nothing about updating memberships. It is just assumed.

pjcinci

maybe there doing lolla again, no need to have up to date membership for that.

Exactly.

I agree. It should be the 10c member's responsibility to make sure their membership does not lapse.

If you want tickets to any show, regardless if there is a tweet or not, you should always keep up with the renewal of your membership. Plain and simple.

I cry bullshit. Every other organization I belong to sends some sort of reminder that my membership is about to expire. It's called being good for business.

10C is so bush league that it doesn't have a computer system that can email you a reminder a few days ahead of time before your membership expires.

10C also doesn't announce any poster sales, new products, etc on an email. Hell, I consider myself lucky to get a tour announcement. Instead they post "tweet-tweet" messages on this board so that half the members have no fucking clue about what is going on with the band.

And don't get me started about keeping the "whats new" and rumor pit up to date.

hate to be a waiter taking your order...

maybe they figure if your not smart enough by now to re-new your membership before a potential tour or shows, you don't deserve to attend said tour or shows.

I get an email reminding me my membership is about to expire and tour announcements......I love how you used the word "CRY" to describe yourself!

Super_Fan

In 2004 they sent all PJ 10C members a password for the VFC Pearl Jam presales.

Even though I think that people should be on top of their memberships, it's just good business to keep members informed. As someone that has a higher 10c number, I have no problem with people being irresponsible and forgetting . But, I think it's only fair that people receive reminders. People have busy lives, renewing their 10c membership isn't always at the forefront of their agendas.

They sent me a reminder that my 10C membership was about to expire as well.

yes, there was a 10c presale, that is true. i guess i was simply thinking of it b/c 10c didn't actually handle the sale, nor seniority.


anyhoo....i said that was one of numerous possibilities/scenarios. there could be f more festival dates, thus no 10c tix....could be charitable shows...thus no 10 c tix....etc, etc.

we'll find out wednesday.



also, didn't we just have a big reminder to have memberships up-to-date not all that long ago for some 10c sale of goods? i can't recall now. besides, as many have mentioned.....if a *tweet* doesn't get your attention to check these things in any case....i really don't think we *need* to be told to have memberships up-to-date, but that's just my little ole opinion. it's actually kinda funny to me how we get an announcement that there's going to BE an annoucement.



btw - flame me all you like, but i LOVED the whole process of the VFC ticket-buying. 10c presale, thru TM servers = BLISS.

My point is that unless you come to this board daily you have no clue what is going on. Tweet tweet means nothing to you unless you visit.

As for membership reminder from a 10c sale of goods...that is helpful if your membership expires around that time. If it's 6 months later then it's a worthless reminder. Again if you don't check the board tweet won't get your attention.

My membership expired on 3/15 and there was no email reminder. I have been waiting to renew on St. Pats day so I can have my own personal reminder every year.

teskeinc

you're a dope if you need someone to remind you your membership is about to expire. time to move out of your parents basement and grow up.

They do.

I am pretty sure I get a reminder before it expires every year - check your Profile settings and make sure you have opted into getting "Product Info" and "News" from the 10C - also make sure your email address is up-to-date.
