Dear 10 club,
Sending an email annoucing tour information on "Good Friday" for tickets is in poor taste. Many people in the US who work may have family obligations to the holiday weekend and not check their emails. This was way too short of an announcement. I bet a lot of people will miss out on tickets because of this short notice. Why is there a rush to sell the tickets? Afterall, prices were not even listed to day of the sale. I'd say hold the sales until you get ALL the information. This includes knowing the dates on the entire tour. Not just a leg.
Thanks
John

    Dear 10club,
    How dare you make an announcement without consulting John? Rather than being thankful for the opportunity to see the band, he's upset. This must be remedied ASAP. Please cancel all ticket sales. John is peeved and something must be done.
    Love and Kisses,
    inmytree....

    FL tickets are still available so what tickets are you missing out on?
    The ones that go on sale tomorrow? People dont check their email the Monday after Easter either?

    I didn't mean to PO the fans here in the forum. I'm just sayin alot of people will miss out on the announcement. Maybe that is why the shows are not selling out as quickly? I got just lucky and recieved the email today about the shows. 10 club is catering to the rabid fan base. (or obsessive ???) Why not give the average PJ 10 club member a chance? I think 10 club is only listening to those who kick and scream... thus my post. I think listening to the silent majority is dead.

    Do people really not check their email for that long? I usually skim mine once a day to see if I have anything in there that is important.

    They announced it as soon as they could and I guess they HAD to announce it as well considering Live Nation was making it official the same day.

    Think of all the extra moaning threads we would have had if people would have gotten an e-mail from Live Nation announcing the tour but nothing from the 10C because it was Easter time!

    They announced news was coming almost a week ahead of time on the board..then they posted the announcement on their website and they board and an email went out on Thursday. Emails were resent on Friday and it's in poor taste just because its Good Friday? It's a good thing I don't work for 10C because I'd be tempted to screw some people in the seat selection.

    It's not in poor taste in the holiday in sense os what the significance of the holiday is. It's in poor taste for the fact that many Americans have other obligations than checking their email during the weekend. The email did not get sent out till Friday before the holiday weekend. Lots of people travel during this period and wont be checking their emails till Monday. (The day of the sale) People are paying good money to be in this fan club and expect to have a little bit of a notice. (Maybe 1 week at most) It's like 10 club is trying to hide something.
  • I still haven't gotten an email about this sale.
    We're all different behind the eyes.

    So true. It's all a giant conspiracy to get as little people as possible to come to their shows.

    The e-mail was sent THURSDAY. They sent a 2nd e-mail Friday b/c apparently there was a problem and many people didn't receive the THURSDAY e-mail.

    It shouldn't matter anyway - they gave us a head's up about news coming mid week last week. Just check the boards - do NOT rely on e-mail. The news always hits the pit before an e-mail is sent out.

    If I knew some news was coming, and I really cared about said news, I would make an extra effort to check email.

    Actually if you didn't come to the boards, you'd have no idea that an announcement was emminent. And an email or a look at pearljam.com would be your only source of info about the band..... ohhh but I forgot every 10C member reads this Message Board religiously ::rolls eyes::

  • I received No e-mail about this tour got one for vedder solo. Easter is only one day of the weekend I am a Christian and it made for a very good friday considering ed had no solo shows here in Florida.I got my tickets today no problem no ticketbastard fees I think I have plenty of notice to save up for the gas money which will be more than the tickets, 10 Club is very good to all of us and someone always has to complain about something what a shame

    Yep, it's kinda sad how most people on here think that most people in the fan club are on the board everyday.

    Most of my pearl jam friends who are fan club members never check the boards and depend on emails for updates.

    Most people don't have time to sit on a message board all day.

    Luckily I do. ;)
