Ten Club/Pearl Jam could learn a thing from Radiohead
I am not a big Radiohead fan. But this morning on the radio, the dj was interviewing Radiohead's bass player. He was asked about the fact that only a list of cities have been released for their upcoming tour.
He said their reasoning was that they wanted everyone to know if they were coming to their area. He said dates would be finalized later, but didnt want someone in Santa Barbara to think that the band wasn't coming to their area and fly across the country only to have a date announced in their area later in the tour.
Kind of like people in the south saying to themselves "surely PJ will announce something closer to us later", only to end up missing out on seeing any shows that tour.
just give people an IDEA of where you will be going....is that too much to ask.

kathy still wants to kick me in the balls for dragging her to philly....and cincy...and cleveland....and grand rapids.....
when we could have saved our cash......and spent 10 fucking days in Hawaii....
and i still cant understand why we were never given the reason behind announcing the tour like they did....
i realize the 10club doesnt owe me a damn thing....but it would have been nice to hear some sort of explanation....

another motto is - please help me I need some hand holding.

then i gave the 10club the benefit of the doubt and said maybe they were just trying to minimize the amount of tickets the scalpers were able to obtain...i know more than one ticket broker who is also a 10club member....

I agree... I might have sacrificed my Vegas trip to go to Hawaii. I mean I can't complain too much since being on the east coast gives me the opportunity to drive a relatively short distance and see anywhere between 5 and 8 shows but the slowly trickled show announcements suck.
If we had an idea of where they were touring, we could plan accordingly. Like instead of seeing 5 east coast shows, take that time and money and plan a nice west coast trip and see 3 shows in a different atmosphere... or go to Hawaii
sg3- you said it and I agree.... fans are sheep lol

you would have rather gone to hawaii than philly or grand rapids?? you're wacky!
seriously, there has to be a valid reason as to why they announced the tour the way they did......
I too am in the South well I'm in South Florida ... anyways I travelled to Philly, New Jersey and Seattle to see them last year.. probably would have anyways even if they had played FL...
But I just can't imagine 10C and the band and Management just delaying information because they feel like fucking with everybody's schedules and bank accounts ...
2003 was announced well in advance with all the dates...and citites and it was only add ons that were surprise... so its not like they have a habit of doing this type of thing... it was frustrating but I'm sure there was a good reason for how screwed up the announcement of the dates was... I'm sure they didn't plan to do it like that...
I can't imagine the next one being like that .... people have bitched about this SOOOO much that's I'm sure 10C got the message. IMO
PS: Last year I meant 2006.. not used to change of year yet
announcing a tour one show at a time....
giving people 1-2 days to decide if they are going to buy tickets.....
then announcing a couple of more shows a day or two later....
was complete fucking nonsense.....no matter what the reason was...

well i did say valid not good....:)
True Statement.
Charlotte 03
Asheville 04
Atlanta 12
Greenville 16, Columbia 16
Seattle 18
Nashville 22
See.... had I not flown to Philly because of no FL dates... you would have never met me!
at that shows you just how silly it is to announce the shows one at a time....
i went to philly in 2003....and had a miserable time....
and then went back in 2006.....and it was worse....
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..............................
hello ROCKSTAR!!!!!!

Yeah Chicago was a great time... as long as you didn't mind hearing gunshots or Lupe Fiasco

Hello Sunshine!
I've been to better shows than the 2006 Philly shows as well... but Philly its always a cheap destination to fly to when they tour and I like racking up shows as you probably already know
hmmm...hypocrite?
had i owned a gun.....
i would have put it right to my head....
hahahahaha................

It was sarcasm.
However, it's also the opinion of a number of board folk.
and won't throw us all into full on panic mode for the next one.
hopefully.
Jw
the holy grail of pearl jam shows......
hehehehehe..........
