Important issues for the 10C to deal with!
1) It's 2009 and the site still crashes. Imagine it was more than 2 shows. How can this be? Forget all the fancy upgrades to the site. Please just make the site work!
2) Give people time before the tickets go on sale. It seems very logical to most of us.
3) Most importantly to me, please announce the regions/states/provinces or countries that you will be playing in. So many people seem pissed off about this but it doesn't change. If you can't do this than just provide a reason so we can understand, because we don't.
A little communication would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

10C/Webmaster... you should look into scalable server capabilities like the ones offered here (http://www.sas.com/technologies/dw/storage/spds/index.html. I don't know this company from Adam, it's just one of the top Google hits I got...) You could strategically eliminate web outages only during times when you are planning on putting tickets or other large-interest items up for sale by retaining temporary services ahead of time. Just a thought...

Just my 2c here, but with an announcement *tweet* we all knew a tour would be announced today however big or small, with only four dates in Europe we shouldn't expect much here. The tweet made a reference to Canada and Chicago, and we already knew of two festival shows. That makes four shows for each 'mini tour'
As for time, the announcement being made on the forums and the sale going on probably caters most to the fans, and not the scalpers, I would argue that more fans get tickets this way as opposed to an official announcement and then ticket sales being a week from now.
From what I understand tickets are still available.0 -

I just wish they would have sent out an email so that way people who are members but don't necessarily check the board a zillion times a day could have had a little more of a chance. But what can you do? You can't please everyone.you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane0 -

If you are a 10c member that doesn't lurk on this board (which I'm sure is the majority), you currently have no idea that they're playing Chicago or Toronto since no mass email has even gone out yet. Do the right thing 10c, forget these cryptic tweet messages and just make an announcement and give everyone a day or two heads up before tickets go on sale. It's not really that hard.

Well, if the email is out that is good. I didn't get it yet, but maybe I'm in the minority.you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane0 -

What scalpers?? They are will call only tickets with seat locations not disclosed.
This was a terrible way to do things and once again, people are in the dark about if/when there will be more dates. I'm so sick of the way things are done with this club. Would it freaking kill them to say "Stay tuned for west coast dates?" instead of fucking Tweets? Stop treating us like children.0 -
I agree! Especially with #1 & 2.0

seems very sensible to me.
maybe they like "lurkers" as you put it.0 -
Tickets are not sold out. If you were not a "lurker" and just got the email right now (like I did), you would never have even known the site was down this morning AND you would have gotten your tickets. No worries.Sam0

it is frustrating
but its that way every tour
yes it could be better, but at the end of the day, most people end up happy0 -

I was totally confused w/people who were talking about dates and venues. I could not find an announcement and thought I was being totally stupid ( no comments!!). The one time I got on the main page it was not there. Then I could not get on the site at all. Then I finally saw it on the main page AND Then Ruby's announcement.
It was just VERY FRUSTRATING to know something was happening but not being able to even get on the site!!!
How did everyone get the info earlier?So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me0 -
As the email has now gone out, the site is stable and tickets are still on sale, hopefully everyone is happy...
However 10c provides a service we pay for, 20$ or 25$ a year is quite a bargain, if you were to purchase the best available tickets through ticketmaster and pay their service charges it would probably be a similar fee. instead you get first crack at the tickets every time a show is announced. Just like any service if you do not like it, you don't pay for it.
Everyone seems quite upset at the window of opportunity to purchase tickets but has anyone suggested that perhaps the venue or whomever holds the rights to it, such as ticketmaster, is applying the pressure? The example of Toronto where tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday leaves the 10c very little time to put tickets up for sale to its members.0 -

Seems like you experienced the same problem I did. Complete and total MISCOMMUNICATION. My only clue that something was going down was with the board being DOWN.
Just because we're sadly used to the board going down does not mean this is something we should accept and continue to tolerate.
I just think a lot of emotions can be spared if the 10C retire the damn tweety bird, and just make an announcement sticky, and then a few days later, the tickets go on sale. The anticipation of news is not good, nor is it fun anymore.

+1 except for the e-mail going out. If you're talking about a mass e-mail from the 10C announcing the two show additions I haven't gotten one."A lot more people are capable of being big out there that just don't give themselves a chance." -Stone Gossard0
