They are so worried about their ticket prices, even though I have been in the fanclub for more than 13 years, I will need to pay 5x the ticket price if I want to see them anywhere but the nose bleeds. I am considering now just forgetting about them completely and finding a new band that allows their fan club members tickets to ANY show they want to see. it is a sad day when you followed individuals 15 years to find out they really do not care!

    Please do find a new band... I know this is going to come off as completely asshole-like, but if you don't like it, no one's forcing you to be a member of the Ten Club. The prices are no longer absurdly low, as they once were, but they're FAR from absurdly high. They are reasonable.

    why can they not just sell out the whole place to fan club members if there is the demand? We are paying the same as people are at ticketmaster! It is not like they are playing 2000 seat arenas. Sell whatever you need to to the fan club members, people who pay the EXTRA money to reserve tickets when they tour, that is one ofthe main reasons people join the fan club, and do not tell me different.

    They fought the battle with Ticketmaster and lost; so this is what they can do. They did provide tickets, but unfortunately, they can only provide 10%. If everyone keeps bitching, I could see them discontinuing any fan club tickets, which would be a travesty.

    There are still plenty of reasons to like the band, but I think we can stop expecting discount tickets. That's over. PJ fought this in the 90s, and they lost. Now we pay full price. What we get for our 10C membership is a SHOT at good seats. obviously that's not guaranteed.

    but to stagger in here and cry that you were deceived about ticket prices is just silly. up until about 2003 you would have had a case. those days are gone.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    They would if they could; but they are beholden to corporations who own seats and ticketmaster who is in cahoots with high priced brokers; ticketmaster makes more money if they allow it to happen this way, a lot more.

    f$%ck this

    The pot calling the kettle black
    yourthe hypocrite, i only like themn if i get tickets to every show i want

    first off, 5 times for nose bleeds, so so five hundred for 1 ticket
    i doubt it.

    secondly, you follow a rock band and get personal enjoyment from their music and you are dumping them over one city and 2 shows.

    i listen to soundgarden more than pj, i will never see them, and i will never dump them.

    whats the differance.

    cant see the beatles, they broke up the year i was born

    you sound like the guy that shot the quitar player from pantera.

    finally a new band that allows fans to buy any show they want, i guess you gonna roll up to a band and join their club and expect to go to the front of the line, I guess every other band doesnt have the same problem

    dude your as fucked up as they come
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.


    no more shows

    So are you mad because you think the ticket prices are too high or because you feel their aren't enough available seats? The cost isn't really that expensive, when you consider a crappy movie is like 10 bucks.

    As far as the no seats available, I am not sure do you expect PJ to play in giant 100,000 seat stadiums, or do you expect them to play enough nights in a row so that they saturate the market and everyone can get seats? Plus I am not really sure the logic behind the fact that you feel you should get cheaper seats than anyone else because of your years in the 10club. What exactly do you want?

    man you should really know what your talking about b4 you bitch like this.

    the arena's wont allow PJ or any band for that matter to sell all tickets to fan club members. its in the arena's contract.

    i gurantee it. the band is only allowed so many tix to fan club members.

    look into it, you find out that im speaking the truth.
    just take a breath and calm down.

    I am not bitching about ticket prices, they are still very reasonable. I am bitching about the fact that the webiste can not have a ticket sell without crashing every freaking time! Did the same thing for Eddie's solo shows. Why am I paying the tenclub the extra money every year again??? For the CHANCE to MAYBE get tickets to a show!!! Thats crap

    Because Pearl Jam were the only band who actually cared enough to battle ticketmaster, they eventually lost. As a result, ticketmaster gets 90% of the tickets to any show. It's a rule that any band who sells tickets through ticketmaster is forced to follow. And, let's face it, that means pretty much EVERY band who plays shows in the United States.


    But yeah, I encourage you to go out and find another band to replace Pearl Jam. I guarantee you that your wonderful new band has never tried to stick up for the fans by battling ticketmaster, and that they do not reserve the BEST seats in the house for the 10% of tickets that they are able to procure for fan club members. Oh yeah, they'll probably charge you much more for Fan Club membership as well, and they won't be nearly as friendly or understanding at the 10C.

    Because the evil bastards at ticketmonopoly won't let them!

    Additionally, I really dislike sour grapes posts like yours. You claim to have been a fan of theirs for so long and because you couldn't get MSG tickets, you're really to kick the band to the curb. I know you're angry right now, but keep this shit in perspective - their are homeless people, hungry people and children being abused, right now... get your fucking tickets through ticketmonopoly and go see one of the greatest bands on the planet!
