I'm not one to complain, BUT not everyone here can not stayed glued to a computer screen. Many have jobs and such, and not everyone has money right away to buy tickets. Why not announce all the dates at one time, and give a frigging grace period so that 10c members can maybe gather money? I understand it's exciting announcing tour dates, but don't you think it should be fair for everyone? An even shot.. announce when the pre sale will start maybe a week from the announcement. People refresh a page for hours only to see A: 2 tour dates and B: Tix on sale for 10c now.
Im sorry but it's just not fair, and I have no plans on traveling to either i'm just a little pissed for the people who can't buy tix for their hometowns today because such short notice.

I understand that. But I don't like the fact that they go on sale RIGHT AWAY. A lot of times people like to plan accordingly and base travel plans etc around that before buying tickets.Indifference71 wrote:Jeremy's Spoken wrote:I'm not one to complain, BUT not everyone here can not stayed glued to a computer screen.

And look at what happened when only two shows were announced and on sale right away during a work/school day, it completely crashed. What would happen if there were multiple shows and people had a few days to prepare for a set on sale time. you wouldn't even be able to think of the site without it crashing."I don't wanna go, from Toronto!!!" - EV '060

Exactly it would make it alot easier then all at once bullshit0 -
It doesn't make sense to be disappointed for the reasons you listed. The tix are by seniority so you have a couple days to make arrangements, w/o worrying about where you are sitting.
I am more concerned with the fact that they are announcing a few shows at a time. If it turns out they are only doin shows in small bunches, I don't have a problem with it, but if they fill out the rest of the tour this way, I think that's kinda crappy.0 -
That means they need to upgrade their servers or do whatever it takes. This has been happening for years, unfortunately. Im happy with the Ten Club, except in this one thing.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if I wait to get tickets and they sell out before i get them, seniority doesn't do me any good. And I completely agree with this randomness crap. I am now in for a 6 hour drive and an 5 hour drive. I bought on the sole reason that all I hear is south and west rumors after ACL. Now if they play somewhere closer I will probably not be able to go.0 -

See, this is my main bitching! A little bird tweeted its ass off late last week. people coming here in waves over the weekend biting their nails for the next big announcement. For nearly 3 hours, I was NOT able to get online here at the board, and when I do, the big news is JUST Toronto and Chicago? On days I can't even go, and no time to collect the money. WTH?
Is the 10C starting to take pleasure in seeing mass confusion and chaos in this community when they tease us with HOT TWEET NEWS?
Something ain't right, and I'm not down with it! We're being played with (esp those who really want to go to these shows). I'm disappointed.

I'm kinda hoping that impulse buyers will get burned. The people who just buy the tickets because they are up for sale... then, realize, 'Hey, I'm 2,000 fucking miles from Chicago and don't have the vacation time or the money to go there.'
Then, they figure, 'Oh well... I'll just have the Ten Club transfer them to someone... someone who wins some stupid fucking game where I make them answer some obscure Pearl Jam useless trivia I post online to make me feel like somebody that's popular.".
...
I hope they eat those tickets. I hope the Ten Club says, "ALL SALES FINAL".
...
The tickets are for people who are GOING to the shows. If you are NOT going... don't fucking buy the tickets... don't place them in your Cart if you are not going to buy them... Hell, don't even LOOK at the goddamn page. Be a little considerate towards the people who actually WANT to (and CAN) go to the show.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions!

Personally, I will hold out for a Vegas show, as I can get a direct flight from Billing, Montana for $70
Far less than the $955 in airfare for the Atlanta EV solo show
