Well some people need to vent, nothing wrong with that.

Couldn't agree more, but there's some spiteful slinging going on...

If you don't like it/the way it is working, don't join/renew.

if you need to vent don't take your frustration out on those who got lucky

for the 100 time today just fucking be patient things have a way of working themsleves out with PJ, this isn;t like the VIC where theere are just a few seats, it is fucking MSG and you'll get tickets if you really want some, you just have to wait it out a little and see what comes up. I know that is not real reassuring, but here is an example:

I had Toledo tickets...yes Fucking Toledo was the closest place to Chicago in the 96 mini tour, many of us did not get tickets(the mail in system by the way) but they put me /us on a priority list and next time the tour came around to a show we chose we were the first in line. I had front row center seats for Alpine Valley. I am not saying they are gonna do or should do this for the MSG snafu, I am merely trying to illustrate they will try to make up for it somewhere down the line.

Tickets have always been first come first serve, even in the mail in days

here is a jpg from two feet thick (thanks JR) of the old form you could only order tickets for 2 shows!

I am sorry but I can no longer defend The Ten Club. I was one of the lucky fans to get Philly and New York...I should walk up to the window at show time and then rip them in spite.

And please Do not compare them to what other bands do..I frankly dont care

im sorry, im not going to fight this one, but the whole idea that a band like PJ makes "millions" touring is laughable now days. they dont make anywhere near the amount you might think.

i know exactley what the Foo Fighters made on their last tour after everything they had to pay for to go on tour. and its not nearly as much as you would think.

yes they make money, and it is their carrer, but its no where near as much as we would all like to think.

i used the FOO because they toured more then PJ does even when PJ goes on a BIG tour, and they charge more for EVERYTHING, tix, shirts , posters and such.

it nonsense. trust me. the industry is against these guys, and we should be happy they choose to tour at all.

Heeheehee...reminds me of the old Paul McCartney Funclub!
Ahhh...those were the days lol! The rules you had to follow
to get your 2 fanclub tickets to ONE show! And heaven forbid
you didn't send back that exact order form lol!

Btw, I don't think anyone was taking out their frustration on those
who were lucky to get tickets. Now, I could be wrong but I havent
really noticed, maybe it seemed that way? At least I
know I haven't. :-)

that form is the reason I did not go to Randalls, it frightened me for some reason

as far as Im concerned, the entire ten club can kiss my ass. they are the most useless bunch in the world.

thanks for all your money....now get the fuck outta here.

quick, somebody tell me all about what the 10C does for us, other than dick us around and treat us like crap.

This is kinda unfair. I've never had any trouble with the 10C. I've gotten tickets to four shows in one tour, which is well worth the $20 many times over. My seats, for the most part, have been better than I ever could have hoped to score on my own (typically within the first 10 rows).

What's more, the annual single is worth $20 by itself. at least to me.

I'm sorry for the folks who didn't get tickets today. I got shut out of the EV tickets I wanted last month. Though with a small-ass venue, I kind of expected that.

If you don't get your money's worth, drop out of the club. Nobody is holding you hostage. But I've always got my money's worth.

Nobody is asking for guaranteed tickets, however if they are in your cart and you've entered your CC info and click submit, it's reasonable to think you are getting tickets and not a webpage saying there's server problems, please refresh.

shit happens with the Internet, ya know? You just have to deal with it. I got that shit all day before I finally got through.

It's the equivalent of a busy signal when you're trying to score tickets over the phone ... if you are old enough to remember that.

I didn't try to get tickets for any of the east coast dates, i'm just doing my best to understand the frustrations of those involved.

Because everytime I have tried to get tickets through the 10 Club I have got them, even for 2 solo Ed shows. Because if I didn't I wouldn't bitch about it because I figured they would be hard to get anyway. Because I can survive if I don't get fan club tickets to a show. Because I don't think I'm entitled to whatever I want like 99% of this board.

Wow, I officially have very little sympathy now... A cluster of New York shows and the Letterman Aftershow!? From what I remember that was a hell of a show to get into with limited tickets available!!! Same situation as here, supply and demand is a bitch... what are you gonna do!? Looking at your sig I'd say you've had a good run... plus you're going to see some shows this tour too...

Boo hoo...

The 10Club is such a secret organization and the way they do things is always so hush hush and the answers that you're given (if at all) are always form letters. Certainly there are reasons that these things happen. I just would like to know why you would turn members of your fanclub away who want to pay $80+ a ticket? Why wouldn't you give all you could to those people?? And why is an answer not given?

And bitching on here is nothing, so those who say quit bitching, it's a forum, that's why they are here!
