    The tix should be on sale for a while. No worries. Its just that everyoen tries to get them at once.

    Its not an Ed solo show, so nobody should be worried about availability.

    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.


    Your argument is weak. "Just like any service if you do not like it, you don't pay for it. " That is almost as annoying as the way they do business. From what i saw, weren't the europe tickets CHEAPER through TM than the 10 Club? Enjoy your bargain but for $20 I expect a more efficient system from a company that has been around since 1993 (and a christmas single before May and a decent newsletter) I'd also appreciate if they would listen to the fans once and awhile.

    I disagree with that---it seems to be getting worse, unforunately.

    Which is really puzzling since everything was to be updated. And I am not just talking about tix--I could not even get THE NEWS of what was announced for several hours due to the site crashing.

    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.

    I totally agree with you, Liz It IS getting worse. It seemed that the 06 tour was well put together. An entire leg was announced at once and only one or two shows at a time went on sale. **AND WE HAD NOTICE BEFOREHAND OF WHEN THE TICKETS WOULD BE GOING ON SALE!!!**

    one way or another, there is always something that drives people bonkers when it comes to tickets and tours
    Its just the way it is
    Info comes slow, and the site crashes, happens every time-some get ix some dont

    the only thing thats new is the sudden onsales
    but they are actually not so sudden
    when kat tweets, shows and tickets are coming

    but hey now you know-shows are imminent- check your email, check the other PJ sites, and dont worry, when it crashes for you chances are the majority are having the same experience

    are these shows even sold out yet?

    it does seem like a lot of the people who i have seen on this board for years and years feel like some things are headed in the wrong direction a bit in terms of communication. please don't bite my head off because you think i'm saying people with lots of posts like the band better or anything. basically, i want to know if anything can be done to help the situation instead of people getting mad or having people write mean responses?

    will the tenclub read any of this? do they want an e-mail with what we think? i don't know. i just wish it was getting better instead of worse.

    Well, I'm not sure about the Maury Povich thing...but the rest of it's true.

    You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. But you can not please all of the people all of the time.

    The server issue is the most frustating if I'm honest.

    Yeah but when she tweets (I am so fucking sick of saying that. So lame for a rock band) we don't know if tickets go on sale the day we need to have our memberships up to date or the day after (or the day after that). And we also have no idea what time it's going up. It's sudden.

    dude, its pointless to try talking sense into these nut cases, trust me.

    Well after the European sales, pretty safe to say its the next day, within the first few hours the 10c opens for business out west
    and the clues were pretty obvious

    I agree there are better ways, but its kinda the way it is-and the way it has been for the last few tours

    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!

    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...

    This makes SO much sense that I bet they'll never, ever do something that easy and convenient.

    I like the way the system works, but understand those that don't. I think fans in and near the cities the band is going to get the best shot, that's all there is to it, and that's a good thing. The announcement happens the tickets go on sale I don't know if it's the case, but it feels like a way to curb scalpers and online buyers. Plus it lets people in the actual city see the band, not that that should drive what happens, but it is nice. Of course I also wish they would lottery a couple rows at the show, but I can live without that.

    important issues for you to deal with:

    1)Buy Tickets
    2)Smoke more, Bitch less
    3)Go see your favorite band play a bunch of kick ass shows.
    4)Shut the fuck up.
    5)Leave Happy.

    Dont like it, dont pay for the membership, buy the tickets, etc etc
