(The day of the sale) People are paying good money to be in this fan club and expect to have a little bit of a notice. (Maybe 1 week at most) It's like 10 club is trying to hide something.
So true. It's all a giant conspiracy to get as little people as possible to come to their shows.

The e-mail was sent THURSDAY. They sent a 2nd e-mail Friday b/c apparently there was a problem and many people didn't receive the THURSDAY e-mail.
It shouldn't matter anyway - they gave us a head's up about news coming mid week last week. Just check the boards - do NOT rely on e-mail. The news always hits the pit before an e-mail is sent out.0 -

If I knew some news was coming, and I really cared about said news, I would make an extra effort to check email.0 -
This is ridiculous; we all knew it was coming.jbalicki10 wrote:Dear 10 club,
Sending an email annoucing tour information on "Good Friday" for tickets is in poor taste. Many people in the US who work may have family obligations to the holiday weekend and not check their emails. This was way too short of an announcement. I bet a lot of people will miss out on tickets because of this short notice. Why is there a rush to sell the tickets? Afterall, prices were not even listed to day of the sale. I'd say hold the sales until you get ALL the information. This includes knowing the dates on the entire tour. Not just a leg.
Thanks

Actually if you didn't come to the boards, you'd have no idea that an announcement was emminent. And an email or a look at pearljam.com would be your only source of info about the band..... ohhh but I forgot every 10C member reads this Message Board religiously ::rolls eyes::This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

Yep, it's kinda sad how most people on here think that most people in the fan club are on the board everyday.
Most of my pearl jam friends who are fan club members never check the boards and depend on emails for updates.
Most people don't have time to sit on a message board all day.
Luckily I do.

I'm upset at the 10C as well. PJ won't play a show solely for me (at my house) at my convenience, while after every 4 songs played, a specific member of the band (which I'll designate) will serve me a beer and snack. What gives!CONservative governMENt

The original email went out on Thursday but aside from that.. I didn't get an email until Friday and I was aware of the tour announcement. I think you are grabbing at straws for a valid complaint on this one. And "good" money? It's freakin 20 bucks! What could they seriously be trying to hide? :rolleyes:0 -

Thank you for this post because for about 5 minutes I thought I was living in a time warp because I could've sworn (will I go to hell for that? Jesus? Anybody?) that the email hit my email box before the holiday weekend.jbalicki10 wrote:It's not in poor taste in the holiday in sense os what the significance of the holiday is.

But apparently by reading the masses threads, it's ok to complain cause you don't get what specifically you'd like.
What ever happened to people actually taking the time THEMSELVES and being responsible for finding information out? Maybe if PJ is that important to you that you'll complain about it after the fact, perhaps you should use that energy and actually just keep up on things on your own rather than blame those who help the process (ie the 10C who do a great job).sennin wrote:Hell, they won't even play Seattle!CONservative governMENt

And they claim to be about the music and the fans.

arhoops wrote:what the hell is wrong with you... the 10c is for fans of the band, people who want a little more than your average fan... now i am not saying you have to live and breathe pearl jam, but for the most part, its members tend to be a little more up to date on current news and what may be coming.
i myself... i don't come on here every day and post every 5 minutes... but i do check the site probably once a day, if not, once every couple of days.
there is nothing wrong with being in here so much tho, it is what it's for... and if you miss out cos someone else was up to date, well, tough on you. but pretty much everyone knew news was coming, they gave us enough warning for it, they sent two e-mails about it so everyone was aware, and they even scattered their presale dates so it wouldn't get bogged down as we try out best to get tix.
hell... 10 years ago it wasn't like this, what, would you have wanted a personal phone call back then... 10c owes you nothing, and you need to seriously get a life.
PS- e-mail is the way we communicate, it's 2008 whether you like it or not, also, the website was updated immediately with the news, so i, as well as you, would have known without even glancing at the message board.
Switch to de-caf..... I never asked for anything other than my two Deep magazines a year, a x-mas vinyl and timely info about the band, the very things I've paid for with my membership dues. Yes I visit this message board but there are a large number (I'll say 70%) of 10C members who rarely or never do.
As for your email is the way we communicate rant:chromiam wrote:You got an email??? Hell I don't think I've gotten an email from 10C in months... ohh wait I did get an email about EV solo tour tickets..... 3 days AFTER the tickets went on sale.This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature.

meh, i have gotten all e-mails... and like i said, your bitching means nothing cos the news was in plain site on the websites home page... you don't need the message board, just 2 eyes... tool.
