    I was wondering that myself and the only thing I came up with is that this week they will now have clearance to announce shows (since Bonnaroo has been on sale for awhile now) but maybe tickets won't go on sale for about a month. I think they will announce the shows and then tell us to have our memberships in order. Just a thought, could be dead wrong.

    They didn't remind to renew before the Ed solo tickets were sold, did they?

    Maybe with this tweet, she just knows that we know to get our ducks in a row (i.e. membership up to date) before the mid-week tweet.

    No and as a matter of fact, to be eligible for the Ed solo show 10c presale one had to have membership current the DAY BEFORE tim announced the shows

    There really is no need to be reminding us to renew a few days before every announcement seeing as every show will sell out (most in a matter of minutes) anyway.


    I agree. I think 10c assumes that will all realize we should make sure our memberships are up to date when a "tweet" alert comes out. Don't the announcements usually give a day or two before the cut-off for eligibility anyways?

    You usually had to be current the day before the announcement

    it COULD be simply b/c if it's a VFC type of minitour like in 2004....there were NO 10c tix, thus no need for up-to-date memberships. just one of numerous possibilities.

    There were 10c tickets in 04 - they were handled via TM - there was no senority.

    I think the reason there were no 10c tickets in 2004 was that the VFC tour was organized by move-on.org. I suppose that could be the case again this year but this seems a bit early to be annoucing shows that would likely take place in October.

    I've been thinking about this a lot the last couple days and my best guess is a small number of shows surrounding Bonaroo in June.

    I can't imagine a 10c member who would see the "tweet" annoucement, realize his/her membership had expired, and decide not to bring it up to date because the "tweet" alert said nothing about updating memberships. It is just assumed.

    maybe there doing lolla again, no need to have up to date membership for that.

    I agree. It should be the 10c member's responsibility to make sure their membership does not lapse.

    If you want tickets to any show, regardless if there is a tweet or not, you should always keep up with the renewal of your membership. Plain and simple.

    I cry bullshit. Every other organization I belong to sends some sort of reminder that my membership is about to expire. It's called being good for business.

    10C is so bush league that it doesn't have a computer system that can email you a reminder a few days ahead of time before your membership expires.

    10C also doesn't announce any poster sales, new products, etc on an email. Hell, I consider myself lucky to get a tour announcement. Instead they post "tweet-tweet" messages on this board so that half the members have no fucking clue about what is going on with the band.

    And don't get me started about keeping the "whats new" and rumor pit up to date.
