    I think the way they did it is fine.

    If someone didn't see the email all weekend then they don't understand the purpose of email, which is to supply fast communication. Personally I check my email about 25-30 and even up to 50 times a day, then again, my job is based around computers and speedy communication, but I can not imagine someone having email and not checking it at least once or twice a day let alone a whole weekend... that's just foolish. If you're not going to check your email consistently, then why use email at all?

    I know the bitchfest will never end here, but god damn it's getting pretty deep in here, I'm pretty sure we've seen every single complaint there could possibly be since this tour was announced.
  • 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?

    It's always something isn't it.... :rolleyes:


    I saw one person complaining about the short notice in 1 post, and I was scrolling away and noticed them bithching about the club not putting more dates out later in the summer so they could decide on travel.
    Make up your mind, quick notice or delayed.
    In reality people should go to their shows in their local region, anything else should be a bonus, nothing to get vindictive over. Now I usually come on here alot around the tours, and honestly have never witnessed a person getting shut out in their hometown.
    That would suck, and be worthy of bitching.
    Everything else really warrants not much bitching.
    As far as prices 75 is high, but not by much, I ballanced 80 a show hoping for 70. So they were close.
    I am sure lawn seats are cheraper but fuck that.
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.


    no more shows

    Anyone complaining about the timing of emails and post on the message boards needs to take a moment to realize that presale tickets of prime seating to Pearl Jam concerts is a luxory and privilege that us 10c members enjoy (not a right) . If I cannot afford to check the message board or my email regularly, then I can join most other concert-goers and purchase tickets through ticketmaster on the scheduled onsale date.

    I can image that the band and the fan club get their share of push back from venues, promoters, etc. for reserving/allocating these seats for their most die hard fans time after time. Thank you 10c. Thank you Pearl Jam.

    kind of funny for someone who posts aprox 7 times a day to insult people being on here so much.

    Gee if you're not getting emails from an organization you're paying to be a part of you would think, I mean LOGICALLY here, that you would contact said organization and iron out the problem with them instead of coming to a message board and bitching about it...

    I think listening to the silent majority is dead.
    contrary to what simon and garfunkle say theres not much of a sound to silence... thus impossible to really listen to... obviously a fan club should cater to the hard core fans before the casual... casual fans should be happy getting decent tickets through ticketmaster... and if they arent then they should follow the band a bit closer

    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. ;)

    Yep same here... although I find myself staying away from this board more and more everyday..... I wonder why??? :)

    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::

    "Fan" is short for "fanatic".

    If you aren't checking at least the front page of the Pit once a day, you're not much of a fan.



    j/k

    Tickets for the shows on sale so far are still available. Grab a pair and enjoy yourself.

    BTW, am I the only person that Tim visited in person about the tour? He was very helpful and gave me a discount coupon code to use.

    actually the mass email went out on thursday but 10c had to resend because some people did not receive their initial email blast...

    I'm a Christian, I was aware of it, didn't affect my Easter weekend...

    i understand your frustrations though, it's odd how they do things sometimes...


    yeah, i recieved mine on saturday...

    no complaints here...

    this thread is a bit of a stretch.


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    I don't have the patience to read through the whole thread, but this is another pointless bitch post. People like you also blame the 10C when the emails go in your junk folder. They only announced on Thursday, and sent the initial one out then, and resent on Friday. What would have happened if they waited until today or tomorrow to send anything out? There'd be bitching that there wasn't enough notice. Egads the things we complain about.

    maybe next tour they should personally contact each fan club member by telephone.....and NOT be permitted to leave a voicemail, but rather speak directly to the 10C member to ensure that he/she knows that a pre-sale is coming.

    then we would get complaints of them charging too much for a phone call or the hours of the fan club calling among other things...

    ohhh it would definitely be SOMETHING!
  • are you forgetting that there was the "tweet" heads up a week earlier? based on that i knew a tour was coming and i am by no means a genuis. people should check the pit once a day--like changing your underwear.

    The way I see it...people knew there was a tweet coming. It's nobody's fault but their own for not getting tickets. So stop your crying.
  • I'm pissed the 10 club didn't tap me on the shoulder in church on Sunday and tell me. Fucking bastards!

    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
    Holiday Weekend... WTF... I had to work. as did most of the rest of the country.
