they send that response and people wonder why people get pissed with the ten club. not hard to figure out why. i'm amazed at the number of people who stick up for them.

Boy-cott! Boy-cott! Put your wallets in your pockets and let your voices be heard!

Especially both MSGs, Hartford and Mansfield...

They give us seats that are otherwise unattainable, thats why people stick up for them.

It isn't the normal vendor-customer relationship!

It seems like the number of complaints about the ten club over that last couple of tours has increased significantly.....

.....for the people who like to admonish people for complaining, have you considered that the amount of gripes have increased because the ten club's level of customer service (for which they charge more for than in the past) has taken a nose dive?

i honestly wonder if the band has any inkling about how their fans are being treated.

i love pearl jam. i love their music. i love seeing them live. but, i've got to say that the ten club has tainted that experience for me.

the fact that they give us less than 4 days to plan which shows they can go to...and to figure out how to pay for them. i dont have a limitless credit card, as i am sure others dont. if you really think that they dont know exactly how much their fanclub tickets are, you are insane. they have to program the website for it. dont you think that is already done? in the past, we got ticket prices...as well as fair notice of tours....

if you think kissing the ten club's a$% makes you a better fan than those who demand a fan club that truly represents the band that they love, you are delusional.

The ticket cost question is valid. I think it is ridiculous how some blindly stick up for this band.
Detroit ticket in 1998 $25.00
Detroit ticket in 2000 $28.00
Detroit ticket in 2003 $48.50
Detroit ticket in 2006 $58.50

Gas in 1998 $1.22
Gas in 2000 $1.52
Gas in 2003 $1.75
Gas in 2006 $3.04

To me, the reason the ticket prices are high is due to the fact that they want to make substanially more money than they have in the past. As you can see from these numbers that the ticket prices do not corelate with gasoline prices. So the excuse of tickets being high due to gasoline or the cost of living is false.

If a ticket for the upcoming tour is $70, you have to ask yourself why is it $12 more than 2006, and the only answer i can think of is to make more money. I dont expect them to tour at a loss but i never expected them to tour for substantial personal gain.

Sadly i think Pearl Jam is more of a corporation now than a band & corporations are in the business of making money first and everything else second.

Just my 2 cents, flame away.

Well said. At least 10C has finally figured out that it makes sense to stagger to ticket sales.

PJ message pit - the biggest bitchfest group of whiners around

you think you're entitled to any and every kind of product or info just because you paid the tiny $20 fan club fee. yes, the price for it is small, regardless of what $$$ you make a year. you've had a good idea for a while that pj would announce some dates this summer. you should already know about what to expect in regards to ticket prices. if you don't, READ and you will find it. if people say $50-75 per ticket, then overcompensate for $90 per ticket just in case! if you can't do that, well then figure something out! you ever think to realize the amount of stress the people who work for 10C are under right now too? you're not alone, sorry. the world doesn't revolve around you. their reply may not have been the most tactful, but it's not fair for you to expect info that they didn't already disclose with the other 10C members. not to mention making a thread about it revealing what they said! this isn't about kissin 10C's ass, it's about the rediculous level to which people feel entitled around here. you wanted a tour, they gave you one! now you want something else to bitch about?! go outside or something.

agreed. but again, it's "ridiculous" ... not "rediculous"

nowayimfaithfull · March 2008

there is nothing that sucks, they gave us this info quick this is why they usually wait, the shows are in 2 months, maybe they do not know yet.

im assuming 55 to 80 pending seat location.

Fixed.Happy now? Instead of pointing out a spelling error, why not add something to the conversation.

Hopefully in the future you remember that this is just a message board not a college thesis.

dead on.

I have no problem with the fast ticket sales, but I have that luxury. I know most/many dont.

I think everything the band still pays attention to, like seniority, ticket availability, bootlegs (to some extent) and the xmas single have remained, while the rest, like customer treatment and the way info gets out has gone to shit.

its not about comparing this fan club/management to others, its about comparing to what it once was. like i said before, its unfortunate.

Two months time is short notice. Honestly. Most bands annouce their tours a good 6 months beforehand, once the arrangements are finalised because that's normally how far in advance large tours need to be booked. No way they don't know the ticket prices yet. That's just unfeasible.

what could i possibly add to this annoying trash heap of pointless dribble besides a snarky comment about spelling?

Nothing. You people need to accept that life, along with PJ concerts, is not catered to your specific needs.

Amen to that! Over the years, the 10c has really SUNK!!!!!!!! It's now pretty much worthless.
You find out less than a week before tix go on sale, not leaving a lot of time to plan. News about the band can be found on other sites all the time. I could go on for days but won't.

They 10c is piss poorly run. Back in the day it was the chit as they say. Now?? Pathetic!

Yeah... it's crap. You wanna talk ticket prices, let's talk plane ticket prices. Bloody hell. I'm pretty much resigned to hoping for those September dates.
