    After taking out the 10c lot and the "friends" of the various venues (being donors and season ticket holders) and further deducting the number of tickets which seemingly disappear in the shadows that plague the ticket broker business, tickets on TM WILL sell out in about 12 secs and if you pull anything it will most likely by shit. Say what you want about the 10c, the majority of us had great seats at the previous eV solo shows.

    That said, I wish you and everyone else sincere luck. As many people as possible from this board should be on TM the morning tickets drop to try and grab anything they can and offer them back up here for face. It worked out very nicely for a lot of peoples on the April Fools leg.

    No you are not wrong at all...I can sympathize having been privy to remembering what it used to feel like to be a 10C member ten years ago...I NEVER had a hard time getting fan club tickets and I always got SWEET seats...I was mildly offended by the new 'system' for ticket purchases and also have been quite offended lately by the ease of the website crashing....never used to be that way, so all us old schoolers have something to compare the current situation to...all the younger members have the 'that's the way it is' attitude...but not us old bastards who have shelled out thousands and thousands of dollars for YEARS and YEARS....go back to the system where you can get 2 tix to ONE FUCKING show of your choice and your tickets' location are based on your membership number...SENIORITY SHOULD MATTER TO PEARL JAM, IT IS AN INDICATOR OF LOYALTY !!!


    Peace

    There really is no reason to go back to the one show, I think 10c knows that. My seats did not get any better or worse when they started allowing everyone to multiple shows. Allowing members to go to multiple shows only helps.

    It sure helps when it comes to scalpers selling tickets...a lot of fan club tickets are sold for outrageous money minutes after WILL-CALL

    maybe, I have not seen it, and scalpers are going to get seats no matter what because of deals they have with ticketmaster and venues, But I would bet 95% or more of 10c seats are not scalped.

    You should probably hold out for the shittiest tickets you can find, then hope you are selected in the venue to move down to the front row.

    I agree with that figure...less than 5%...but it is still really tough when the fucking website crashes every single time something cool is about to happen........ :roll:

    I can count how many times the website crashed in the last 4 years on one hand for stuff, Vic, Msg1, Msg2, and ED solo west coast. I think the new system is great for the ed tour and special shows, and I think it will continue for that stuff. If I don't get ed tix next week through 10c, I will try ticketmaster, I have got PJ tix though them before with great success, and ED last summer for DC, and I am sure I will again in the future. I had no problem with the website for every show in 2006 and 2008 other than NYC. And I don't have a T1 line, FIOS, superfast Cable hook up or a supercomputer.

    My seats definately have gotten worse since the muliple show rule. On the 2000 tour I was never any further back fromthe stage than row 9. In Tampa last year I was in row 22, and my number is fairly low. Even if you took out the 4 row lottery, I've been bumped back 9 rows in 8 years. In 2003, the first year of the multiple show rule, I was in row 15 for the Buffalo show, that's 6 rows between tours. I'm not complaining just stating a fact.

    something tells me you can get BETTER..........

    i don't think so. according to rolling stone:

    'As Rock Daily reported last week, many artists often keep the best seats in a venue and sell them on the secondary ticket market for a huge profit. '
