    I've always been a complete supporter of 10C...but I'm really frustrated with the way they're running things over there right now (and I wasn't even trying for tix!)!

    Tickets on sale before the announcement is even made? Talk about putting the cart before the horse!


    i'm with you m....10c has done some wacky shit but this is complete bullshit....

    As someone who has the luxury of being in front of a computer on days like this AND was able to score Toronto tickets, yeah, this is a totally shitty way of doing things. This gives us absolutely no time to plan for travel, decide which shows we'd like to see, etc.

    The only thing I can figure is that the goal of this is to have less of us traveling to 6 or 7 shows a tour. I dunno WHY they'd be going for that, but nothing else makes sense.

    I can't wait to sit around for hours next week to see which two shows are added to the tour.

    I also can't wait for someone who bought tickets to Chicago/Toronto to come on this thread to bash us for talking bad about 10C.

    I wouldn't consider our frustrations "bashing". It seems to me the majority of the members are unhappy with the way things are going down. Voicing an honest opinion I consider to be an ok thing to do...not necessarily "bashing".

    Agreed. But, as I mentioned on fb...they have us by the huevos...they KNOW we'll suck it up and buy tix...because we have no other choice. (It's the same reason gas is so expensive in Cali.)

    The customer is always right...until the supplier has something the customer REEEEEEEEEALLY REALLY wants. And then the supplier has the customer by the huevos.

    Let us not forget that 10c is merely the conduit, methinks the gripe would more likely lie with band management.

    What about those folks who don't have the luxury of being near a computer? For example, a nurse who works a 12 hour shift?

    I'm not saying the way 10c is doing this is right, but no matter what they do, theres always going to be a group of people that are pissed off with the way theyre doing things. There's just no way to keep everyone happy.

    People wonder why 'the rest of the world' is surprised to learn that Pearl Jam is still 'a band'...

    I don't even know what they're doing... when they're doing it... where they're doing it...

    or if they'll ever do it anywhere near me ... or anywhere I can afford to go...

    if I have time/space to go there ... and if I'd know it was happening before the 10C presale sold out?

    and I'm their #213356 Fan!

    Vive La Flight To Mars! and Thank Bacchus Mike and Stone 'Think Globally and Play Locally'

    Hell... maybe 'Loaded' will be my 'new band'? :roll:

    she lets go

    Nurses don't like Pearl Jam.

    Problem solved.

    That's absolutely true! And, as I mentioned previously, I've always been in full support of 10C. However, this latest announcement/ticket sale thing is completely ridiculous and not ideal.

    This is a very large group of people pissed. Pretty much the majority. There was a 12 page thread created last week more or less begging them to announce all the dates or at least regions at once. Unfortunately things will never change around here because they already have our annual $20. It's a disgrace and is them basically saying take it or leave it...our way or the highway.

    It's immediate sale, but it seems there are a lot more tickets available.

    It's not only the issues of tix being available, but what about giving folks (who have commitments such as work, school, family ) time to organize their obligations?!

    No kidding... we're not all young and carefree anymore... we have commitments, work and things to plan around. August/September are the two busiest months for me. Yes, it's my choice to go and see PJ, but I went ahead and bought tix to Toronto hoping like crazy that my boss allows me to go (he's currently in Australia, so not handy to contact)... I also have to go to Australia around that time and now have to hope that work doesn't decide I'm going while TO and Outside Lands is happening (since I'm now booked to go to both). A couple of days notice that tix were going on sale would have been great. Yes, we knew Canada and Chicago, but we didn't know the extent and certainly not only 2 shows! For all we knew, they might have announced a Sept/Oct tour around Canada, the midwest and the west coast!
