Okay,
my last idea was bad ... cause it involved fascist opression ... ie ... kicking out the high numbers by force.
HERE IS A GREAT IDEA, THOUGH:
Because there are so many greed jerks around here who think they are OWED tickets, because they paid "EXTRA" to join the 10C just to get tickets: HERE IS A A GREAT SOLUTION:
After this tour, and before the new album (fingers crossed) comes out ...
10C should post an announcement saying:
"We are extremely sorry and upset to have to announce the following, however due to unreasonable demands placed on our staff over ticketing concerns, THE TENCLUB WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO ISSUE FANCLUB TICKETS TO MEMBERS OF THE CLUB. Therefore the price for your next renewal, should you chose to remain a member, will be only TEN DOLLARS, however we understand if you no longer want to renew, and therefore can only offer our apologies. We hope to see you around in the future. Love, 10C"
THEN ... here is the big kicker ...
you wait one year ... which hopefully is just after the new album is released ... and you ... GASP ...
announce ... "TENCLUB WILL ONCE AGAIN BE OFFERING TICKETS TO CLUB MEMBERS, However, there will be an additonal service charge to recoup the difference between your 10c fee since we decreased it last year, thinking we could not offer tickets"
HOPEFULLY THAT FLUSHES OUT ALL THE GREEDY A-HOLES WHO ARE ONLY IN THE CLUB TO GET TICKETS, AND WHO HAVE NO LOYALTY.
Seriously.
Please, raise your hand if you remember what it was like to be a tenclub member JUST because you liked this fucking band, and they didn't offer you a goddamn thing, other than a 45rpm vinyl and two newsletters!

and I admit, I have no loyalty, I have only been to over 20 shows, flown across the country, drove hundreds of miles to see them, maintained my membership for 13 years, etc...but I have not loyalty because I think there is a better way to distribute tickets...
you lost me at hello, but i def remember those days.

I don't think so. I really think connection matters :(
Anyway, I'd rather have no tickets offered through tenclub right now.
I don't think so. I like it this way more. Sure its aggravating, but at least I feel like it's in some way up to me to make it happen. With a lottery, well shit, I'd feel like it was totally out of my control and that sucks.
You know...In ALL SERIOUSNESS...This is prob going to happen very soon. There is only so much that anyone, let ALONE a FANCLUB cant take. If the people bitching would put half as much energy into finding another avenue for tickets as they did the bitching itself, you would probably find that it is pretty simple. I cannot tell you how many times that I have either gotten shut out of a presale, or just simply didnt bother trying and just did a little asking around or a few pms here and there and have found myself some great seats and made some good friends in the process.
Yet, inevitably this continues to happen and you folks that are complaining feel as though you are owed something. All that has ever been afforded to you is the opportunity to have a SHOT at tickets. Nothing has ever been guaranteed. EVERYONE knows this going in AND knows there is the possibilty there will be a crash...Yet you forge headlong into a trainwreck and you let it comepletly RUIN YOUR LIFE when it happens. PEOPLE....Put your energys into FINDING A WAY INTO the show you want, instead of looking like a baby on a MESSAGE board. I have never been more embarassed to say I am a member here than days like today. I know, you all feel you have the right to complain cause yo upiad your $20. Well, I also have the right to tell you how foolish you look doing it. Peace love and PJ folks....see you on the road.....;)

My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
Because inbetween tours I have a rather normal life and dont feel the need to fight over versions of Leash I'm not as much of a fan as you.
This was fair.... shitty, but fair.
Shhhhh... you are annoying!

I would think that by this point they are pretty thick skinned and probably even get a laugh out of the groundless complaints. We live in a society that is overrun with entitlement and there is no way to get around it and of course no way not to expect it.
That's ridiculous. You only like that system because you have a low 10c #. But, how can you argue that you are a "more loyal fan" than someone like me, just because you're older than I am. I have been in the club as long as I have loved and could afford to be in it on my own. Even though that's only a few years, theres no way you can tell me you're more loyal than I am. I think having a chance a better seats is more than enough perks for those with better numbers.
1 Deep: $4.50
2 Deep: $4.50
Xmas Single: $6
Postage for all: $5
Total: $20
Being able to get tickets if you're lucky: Priceless
that's what they did up until 2003.
on a large scale tour, it would slow down the demand, but the new system allows more ten club members to travel to multiple shows.
With their being extremely limited dates this tour, Limiting to one shows would have probably only split up the MSG1 and 2 folks, because with the exception of DC and maybe Mansfield, none of the shows even come close to MSG as far as a destination for the out of town fan from the list of shows this year.
they don't need to change shit,everyone had a fair chance to get tix.
the only ones who wanna change the system are the ones who got shut out!
fuck a lottery,that's a bullshit way of doing things.
if you love PJ enough you'll get tix,by hook or crook,like i do.
