    maybe they figure if your not smart enough by now to re-new your membership before a potential tour or shows, you don't deserve to attend said tour or shows.

    I cry bullshit. Every other organization I belong to sends some sort of reminder that my membership is about to expire. It's called being good for business.

    10C is so bush league that it doesn't have a computer system that can email you a reminder a few days ahead of time before your membership expires.

    10C also doesn't announce any poster sales, new products, etc on an email. Hell, I consider myself lucky to get a tour announcement. Instead they post "tweet-tweet" messages on this board so that half the members have no fucking clue about what is going on with the band.

    And don't get me started about keeping the "whats new" and rumor pit up to date.


    I get an email reminding me my membership is about to expire and tour announcements......I love how you used the word "CRY" to describe yourself!

    In 2004 they sent all PJ 10C members a password for the VFC Pearl Jam presales.

    Even though I think that people should be on top of their memberships, it's just good business to keep members informed. As someone that has a higher 10c number, I have no problem with people being irresponsible and forgetting ;) . But, I think it's only fair that people receive reminders. People have busy lives, renewing their 10c membership isn't always at the forefront of their agendas.

    There were 10c tickets in 04 - they were handled via TM - there was no senority.



    yes, there was a 10c presale, that is true. i guess i was simply thinking of it b/c 10c didn't actually handle the sale, nor seniority.


    anyhoo....i said that was one of numerous possibilities/scenarios. there could be f more festival dates, thus no 10c tix....could be charitable shows...thus no 10 c tix....etc, etc.

    we'll find out wednesday.



    also, didn't we just have a big reminder to have memberships up-to-date not all that long ago for some 10c sale of goods? i can't recall now. besides, as many have mentioned.....if a *tweet* doesn't get your attention to check these things in any case....i really don't think we *need* to be told to have memberships up-to-date, but that's just my little ole opinion. it's actually kinda funny to me how we get an announcement that there's going to BE an annoucement. :p



    btw - flame me all you like, but i LOVED the whole process of the VFC ticket-buying. 10c presale, thru TM servers = BLISS.
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    My point is that unless you come to this board daily you have no clue what is going on. Tweet tweet means nothing to you unless you visit.

    As for membership reminder from a 10c sale of goods...that is helpful if your membership expires around that time. If it's 6 months later then it's a worthless reminder. Again if you don't check the board tweet won't get your attention.

    My membership expired on 3/15 and there was no email reminder. I have been waiting to renew on St. Pats day so I can have my own personal reminder every year.

    you're a dope if you need someone to remind you your membership is about to expire. time to move out of your parents basement and grow up.

    I am pretty sure I get a reminder before it expires every year - check your Profile settings and make sure you have opted into getting "Product Info" and "News" from the 10C - also make sure your email address is up-to-date.

    Here is the email reminder I received in January...seems to me that 10C is doing a great job of keeping us up to date w/our memberships...

    "This is just a friendly reminder that your membership has either expired or is about to expire. PLEASE NOTE: You now have 3 months from the date of your expiration to renew and retain your member number and seniority. If you renew after the 3-month grace period, you will receive a new member number and lose all established seniority. Please follow the instructions below to renew your membership and retain your seniority status..."

    Seems before a tour announcement Kat always says we all should have our memberships up to date. if its a tour announcement coming mid week why didnt she mention it?

    Always be sure you're up-to-date so you don't risk missing out on something. That's right from the birdy. :)

    because those who renew their memberships will whine if the tour announcement doesn't benefit them.
