What's funny is, it only took the guy 4 months to realize that things don't really make sense with the 10 club. To answer the question in the message title, we have no idea what the fanclub is up to because they don't tell us anything.

Got a feeling within 48 hours your really gonna be regretting this thread. You'll likley get your Deep magazine tomorrow and it sounds like we will be getting tour news very very soon.

A whole four months. You deserve answers. They need to keep you in the loop. What the hell are they thinking? I can't wait to see your post after you get your first pair of 10 club tix.

Ok sorry to everyone. I fucked up with this thread. Hands up but please don't shoot. Sorry again. i am a whiny little fuck that needed to be shut up. Peace.

Seriously, you joined FOUR MONTHS AGO!!! What did you expect to happen? Did you think your life was going to be different? Was the cancer going to go away? Were you suddenly going to have a personality? Seriously, you've been a member FOUR MONTHS and you are already this pissed off?

The Ten Club does not control tour schedules, but when PJ does tour we get a chance at GREAT SEATS! The Ten Club is sending out the latest Deep magazine, so you'll be happy about that. You'll get your annual vinyl, you just might not get it Chistmas day. Do you even have a record player?

FOUR MONTHS. Wow.

Everbody that is mad at the Ten Club should be mad at Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff and Matt. The Ten Club doesn't have tours to announce anymore, or actual legs of tours to announce anymore, because Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff and Matt don't want to tour any longer than two weeks at a time. They also don't want to not make money, so they announce shows one at a time in case the first ones aren't selling. Has nothing to do with the Ten Club.

RELAX!! Give the fanclub time. You will get DEEP 6 soon, then the annual single, then a chance to buy tickets. The best part of the fanclub is not described in what you get for $20. Wait till your first fan meet up, you first oppertunity to actually talk to some of the people on here. I have made friends all over the world because of this fanclub and this band. Just wait and look back on this thread in a year, you'll see. Welcome to the club!

PJFAN_seattle · March 2010

doompony · March 2010

Let me first say that I love Pearl Jam to death. But i'm starting to hate this fucking fan club. Are PJ even that close to it? I wonder. I joined four months ago and for my money have got the privelege of being able to post topics on a forum. WTF?? Yes you can remind me as the fan club did in their feeble email that I have had the opprtunity to purchase pre sale PJ tickets. But so what?? I love seeing the band, but the only info i've got means having to open up my wallet again- which is usually empty. Brad are back- so what? i live halfway around the world. Ok that can be forgiven I may have been a fan living in the Seattle area and the fan club were not to know that. But still I'm pissed. Where is my Deep magazines?? Aren't we supposed to recieve something like 3 or 4 a year or something. Also and I am not sorry to say this I am pissed at PJ where is our christmas single? Lazy is not an excuse anymore. I know you all worship PJ and everything. But come on I can't be the only one pissed here.

Woah, settle down. I have been a paying member since 1994 and the Christmas single has rarely come on time. It is not up to the Ten Club to get it out on time as they are at the mercy of the band themselves to get the single out.

You ask if PJ are even close to the club? Yes, they are very close as it is as it has always been, an inside job. The folks who run the 10c have been working with Pearl Jam since the early 90's and it has remained an in-house operation. They work physically in the same space as the band. The Ten Club headquarters and the band's headquarters are one in the same place.

Pearl Jam are trying to put a show together at New York's central park- which will be part of the bands 20th anniversary celebrations. The show will not take place when the band head out on an East coast tour this May. Instead the band are pushing for a July/August date.

Lol, that's funny. Yes I suppose I am a whiny little girl. It isn't how I wanted to come across. At the same time you can't keep defending something just because your a member/fan. Seriously 4 months and nothing..... I'm also I am sorry that I know some tour news or venues being booked by the band before it is released on this website- I thought I was just helping.

PM me and I'll send you from my personal collection all the past newsletters + Xmas singles.
Four months.
I feel your pain.

Is reacting negatively towards the OP really the best way to combat a negative thread?
In all seriousness though, while the Ten Club is still an awesome club to be affiliated with, it's service to it's members has dipped over the years.
Does anybody remember the rumour section on the old Synergy site? People used to submit their rumours to Kat and Sea, and if you were fortunate enough, those rumours would answered. Nowadays all you get is silence, and rumour threads are left to hang around for days, weeks, even months without clarification of their validity.
Now, I may seem to be contradicting what I originally said about how good the Ten Club is, but you also have to take into account, factors which may explain the drop in personal contact with Ten Club's active members.
Tour Announcements - Tours can't be the easiest things to arrange. It would take a vast amount of time negotiating venues, dates, support acts etc. Not to mention the financial side of the whole thing. Announcements may take their time due to one or two small things which may jeopardise one or two shows on the tour. If they announced the whole tour schedule without dotting the i's and crossing the t's and those one or two shows became unviable, then it may cost certain Ten Club members some financial loss due to travel arrangements etc.
Also, there may be stipulations as to who can announce shows first which may work against Ten Club

Xmas Singles - If the band are still undecided on song choices etc, then what can Ten Club tell us? Nothing that's what.
The same can be applied to other releases such as albums/singles/EP's/bootlegs

Shipping - Even a birthday card from your mum can get lost in the post. I've failed to receive stuff from Ten Club before. Contact them and they send another one out.

I guess what I'm trying to say is yes the Ten Club has it's faults, but a vast majority of them may be out of their control.
There's no need to flame the OP because I'm willing to bet that 99% of people on here have felt frustrated by certain things over the years.
Peace, love, and understanding is the way to a happier PJ community. That and PATIENCE

Keep on rockin' and supporting each other, and the band
