Important issues for the 10C to deal with!
1) It's 2009 and the site still crashes. Imagine it was more than 2 shows. How can this be? Forget all the fancy upgrades to the site. Please just make the site work!
2) Give people time before the tickets go on sale. It seems very logical to most of us.
3) Most importantly to me, please announce the regions/states/provinces or countries that you will be playing in. So many people seem pissed off about this but it doesn't change. If you can't do this than just provide a reason so we can understand, because we don't.
A little communication would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

10C/Webmaster... you should look into scalable server capabilities like the ones offered here (http://www.sas.com/technologies/dw/storage/spds/index.html. I don't know this company from Adam, it's just one of the top Google hits I got...) You could strategically eliminate web outages only during times when you are planning on putting tickets or other large-interest items up for sale by retaining temporary services ahead of time. Just a thought...

Just my 2c here, but with an announcement *tweet* we all knew a tour would be announced today however big or small, with only four dates in Europe we shouldn't expect much here. The tweet made a reference to Canada and Chicago, and we already knew of two festival shows. That makes four shows for each 'mini tour'
As for time, the announcement being made on the forums and the sale going on probably caters most to the fans, and not the scalpers, I would argue that more fans get tickets this way as opposed to an official announcement and then ticket sales being a week from now.
From what I understand tickets are still available.
totally agree!
I just wish they would have sent out an email so that way people who are members but don't necessarily check the board a zillion times a day could have had a little more of a chance. But what can you do? You can't please everyone.
the email is out, and tickets are still on sale and the site is running fine now it seems.
anyone who wanted tickets will get them

If you are a 10c member that doesn't lurk on this board (which I'm sure is the majority), you currently have no idea that they're playing Chicago or Toronto since no mass email has even gone out yet. Do the right thing 10c, forget these cryptic tweet messages and just make an announcement and give everyone a day or two heads up before tickets go on sale. It's not really that hard.
- End rant
Well, if the email is out that is good. I didn't get it yet, but maybe I'm in the minority.
What scalpers?? They are will call only tickets with seat locations not disclosed.
This was a terrible way to do things and once again, people are in the dark about if/when there will be more dates. I'm so sick of the way things are done with this club. Would it freaking kill them to say "Stay tuned for west coast dates?" instead of fucking Tweets? Stop treating us like children.

seems very sensible to me.
maybe they like "lurkers" as you put it.
but its that way every tour
yes it could be better, but at the end of the day, most people end up happy
It was just VERY FRUSTRATING to know something was happening but not being able to even get on the site!!!
How did everyone get the info earlier?
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
However 10c provides a service we pay for, 20$ or 25$ a year is quite a bargain, if you were to purchase the best available tickets through ticketmaster and pay their service charges it would probably be a similar fee. instead you get first crack at the tickets every time a show is announced. Just like any service if you do not like it, you don't pay for it.
Everyone seems quite upset at the window of opportunity to purchase tickets but has anyone suggested that perhaps the venue or whomever holds the rights to it, such as ticketmaster, is applying the pressure? The example of Toronto where tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday leaves the 10c very little time to put tickets up for sale to its members.
Seems like you experienced the same problem I did. Complete and total MISCOMMUNICATION. My only clue that something was going down was with the board being DOWN.
Just because we're sadly used to the board going down does not mean this is something we should accept and continue to tolerate.
I just think a lot of emotions can be spared if the 10C retire the damn tweety bird, and just make an announcement sticky, and then a few days later, the tickets go on sale. The anticipation of news is not good, nor is it fun anymore.

+1 except for the e-mail going out. If you're talking about a mass e-mail from the 10C announcing the two show additions I haven't gotten one.
Its not an Ed solo show, so nobody should be worried about availability.
Nuclear fission
Your argument is weak. "Just like any service if you do not like it, you don't pay for it. " That is almost as annoying as the way they do business. From what i saw, weren't the europe tickets CHEAPER through TM than the 10 Club? Enjoy your bargain but for $20 I expect a more efficient system from a company that has been around since 1993 (and a christmas single before May and a decent newsletter) I'd also appreciate if they would listen to the fans once and awhile.
I disagree with that---it seems to be getting worse, unforunately.
Which is really puzzling since everything was to be updated. And I am not just talking about tix--I could not even get THE NEWS of what was announced for several hours due to the site crashing.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
I totally agree with you, Liz It IS getting worse. It seemed that the 06 tour was well put together. An entire leg was announced at once and only one or two shows at a time went on sale. **AND WE HAD NOTICE BEFOREHAND OF WHEN THE TICKETS WOULD BE GOING ON SALE!!!**
I agree 100%!

one way or another, there is always something that drives people bonkers when it comes to tickets and tours
Its just the way it is
Info comes slow, and the site crashes, happens every time-some get ix some dont
the only thing thats new is the sudden onsales
but they are actually not so sudden
when kat tweets, shows and tickets are coming
but hey now you know-shows are imminent- check your email, check the other PJ sites, and dont worry, when it crashes for you chances are the majority are having the same experience
are these shows even sold out yet?
will the tenclub read any of this? do they want an e-mail with what we think? i don't know. i just wish it was getting better instead of worse.
they read it, ignore it and go back to watching maury povich
