many many years ago my membership lapsed. Was probably a month or two, but maybe a little more. It was way before the numbers were such a big deal, and it was in between albums and a quiet time of the year for TC. So I emailed them when paying and they were good enough to give me a grace period. Again it was during a slow time so I imagine they are more lax when nothing is going on and if you've been a long term member versus if you are trying to jump on the bandwagon as things are announced... not that you are, but I'd bet that others have. If you email them, you may want to politely ask, and give them your old member number too.

They also haven't always had the 90 day grace period in writing. I imagine that they aren't too lenient outside of the 90 day window, since they are giving us 90 days as it is. Can't hurt to try though.

Yeah, I let mine lapse for a couple months back in 2004 when I was going through a tough patch in my life, before there was any official grace period. They were very nice about it and let me keep my number. With auto-renew I don't have to worry about it anymore, but I still do and double check pretty often, heh.

Am I remember things wrong, or did they used to let you activate old memberships? I thought around 2000 or so they made the 90 day grace period policy and said old membership can no longer be activated.

They technically still do, just with new numbers. My membership page shows my membership from 2000-2007 (doesn't show my old number), but my number is 300K higher now.

( sorry if this is a repeat querie, where it's already been answered, i just havent found where- is there a way to get one's history stats w/ the club-just for personal info?  Like I have been a long term member, who lapsed circa '12, then joined again '17- I'm just not certain when i joined the 1st time, in the '90's -although people have said it was the later '90's cuz the # i was aware of that I had was a 176××× for over?14 years or so. But in 1995 i got 4 tixs with my name on them for the San Jose show 11/4/95- so didnt I have to be a TC member then to have gotten those?--i just can't recall for sure for awhile. Just wondering...cuz I thought i had already sent in the $5. member fee before that show...Just a personal history timeline thingy i was wondering about...)

Order history is the closest to what you're asking about.

I would like a number in the range of when I wished I would have joined but thought it was lame to join a band fan club.   I don't think it's lame anymore so I should be in the 80,000 - 90,000 range.

I mailed in a letter to Ten Club back in about 1993 when I was 14 or 15 years old asking to join the fan club. Idiot me didn't realize that I needed to actually pay. I didn't end up joining until 2000. I would like that number from 1993 please! LOL

I used to think it was so little sister too to join a fan club - like pre-& teen thing and a "bubble-gum pop" thing ( my age shows here ) - just sayin'--- but i also came from a frame of , that if you could rock your stuff w/an acoustic (unplugged) guitar & such- that you could Truly rock!  It's still my opinion. But i learned it wasn't everyone's opinion as i branched out/ met those who "only like it 'hard' ( plugged-in, volume 11 )- etc.  It was kind of a snobbery thing on my part when i was young -

I don’t think membership number/seniority even matters any more. It doesn’t get you a guarantee with tickets anymore. The new lotto does that and keeps it “fair” to anyone, including anyone who just signed up yesterday. And as much as I want to believe it factors into seating location, my seats seem to be getting further and further back each show to the point I find myself watching a video screen because the band looks like ants on stage.

If there was ever a guarantee, it was before 2003. Ever since 2009 or 2010, it was always a sort of lottery. Even F5 was a type of lottery.

Seniority absolutely matters for seat assignments in USA shows. As far as people getting pushed back, more and more people are traveling greater distances to shows. A 279xxx in 2003 or 2006 would be decent seats, but a much worse view in 2018, as everyone would have traveled to Seattle or Chicago.

Don't think you could get 4 tix for San Jose through 10club, only 2, so those were probably through general sale. I think the ticketing agent (ETM) put the name of the purchaser on all tickets in 95 & 96.

It matters for Reserved Seats I think......Seems like my the reserve seats for me in the past 7 years have ranged anywhere from right behind GA to 4 sections behind GA which is a pretty big variance.    And you never know.....they could go back to seniority any time and then people will bitch because they let their membership lapse because with the current system they think their number doesn't matter.

Thanks for clearing that up for me- I couldn't recall the details of how I got that opportunity-but I do remember that Pearl Jam show, cuz it was my first "proper" Pearl Jam experience & a very good show.

For the San Jose show, you had to present your SF ticket Stub from June show that Eddie was sick. I recall going to an office in SF and exchanging the tickets plus 10 each... I was not in the club back then.
