    Now...are these brokers freestyling or is it more of a structured hip hop type thing? :)

    Ah I see.

    What exactly is the problem?

    Didn't everyone know that was going to happen?

    Aren't there tons of threads/posts about people wanting to trade/sell/buy extra tickets?

    I was only able to get night 2, but I'm sure I'll be at night 1.

    In 2003 I purchased pj and foo fighter tix for side lower level from what appeared to be a crackhead in the shell of the revolving doors at duane reade on the corner of 34th St, paid $120 for pj and $85 for foo and I was HAPPY!!!

    **in '06 I sold my extra camden for $25 and a beer.

    So again what is the problem?

    Same shit that always happens with high demand items on 10c servers.
    The servers freaked out, dumped items out of peoples carts when they went to buy. Froze up and timed out during processing, gave people the "buy" and then "temporarily out of stock" (because like 1 pair went back in, and by the time they clicked buy, they were gone) ... and so fort.

    SAME SHIT, DIFFERENT CRY BABIES.

    Shit gets old.
    Wish we could have the "Message Pit Abortion" right about now.

    How do you know their server is on the west coast? I have 2 servers that I use and they are both in Arizona, yet my company is located in Jersey. Just because the fan club is Seattle based doesn't mean that their servers are.

    I didn't get online today. I wanted to save the bandwith for somebody that wanted tickets. I have one question though, would you say it was as bad or worse than the EV solo ticket fiasco? Because that was a nightmare...

    Why are so many Fans defending what has happened today? This is a big time band who makes millions touring. They have a fan club so fans have a voice. Unfortunately now most fans are at the mercy of ticket rapping brokers.
    I am sorry but I can no longer defend The Ten Club. I was one of the lucky fans to get Philly and New York...I should walk up to the window at show time and then rip them in spite.

    And please Do not compare them to what other bands do..I frankly dont care

    Yes. Ripping tickets out of spite! That'll show 'em! While you're at it, why don't you shit your pants in front of MSG on the nights of the shows. That will teach Pearl Jam a lesson they'll never forget! You need to get laid! The 10 club should start selling Pearl Jam diapers and pacifiers for all the fucking babies that are in their fan base.

    I can't believe the whinging that goes on this board! Unfortunately this is what happens when demand out strips supply as in the case with these shows. It's where the industry is at as far as tickets go and every band experiences the same problem with scaplers and ticket brokers. At the end of the day PJ are operating as a business and of course they want to sell out these shows whilst getting the right balance with supplying the demand. It's not there fault ppl have hyped up these shows and so everyone wants tickets for them and some people will unfortunately always take advantage of these situations.

    Seriously most people realized that as soon as MSG was announced your odds were pretty much set at 50/50
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    This system is bullshit. It's a crapshoot. It doesn't have to be. The old system of sending in your form and your check for your tickets at least guaranteed you got tix. Now it's all based on factors out of your control - bandwitdth, tenclub server capacity, etc. If the fanclub can't figure out how to sell tix online fairly then go back to snail mail. How is this helping fans. I've paid my dues and hung in there for years and love the band but I can't cancel meetings and sit at work hitting reload for an hour! It's unproductive and very frustrating. We deserve better than this. Member 179752 aka Dawn

    It's not like the server crashed and no one got tickets. All the 10C tix were allocated. Maybe this is there way of mixing up the seniority, hahaha.

    At least you east coast fuckers are getting a tour, I'm stuck in butt-fuck Winnipeg Manitoba where it was minus twenty fucking six this morning. Fuck I hate this place.
    Hail, hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love.

    maybe you guys shouldn't renew your membership

    you guys want things that 10c can not give

    maybe save the membership money in a pj savings account and when tix go on sale poof u have the cash

    Ditto

    I have a career and have way too much to do at work to have spent several hours refreshing my life away and enlisting co workers to do it for me when i was away from my office. All for nothing
    Its not fair to not get priority for tix based on seniority
    bring back the snail mail
    the dead still do it that way
    '96 7 shows / '97 3 shows / '98 15 shows
    '00 12 shows / '03 4 shows / '06 6 shows
    '08 3 shows / '09 5 shows / '10 6 shows

    im in the west coast and the server was pretty fucking screwqy here too as i heard it was in europe, its all about your machine and connection spped my man, location has got nothing to do with it.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}

    Wrong. The fanclub is not so fans have a voice. Its so fans can have more access to certain things, but definitely not to give fans a voice.

    Maybe that's what it is, the connection speed. I have 15Mb down and 5Mb up and I was able to get Camden and both MSG shows with no major problems.
