    I wonder if PJ realizes that they fan club they so dearly love and talk of, is the one and only reason that some fans are not listening to the the music anymore.

    I'm not gonna argue with anyone which level is better and if those changes are good or bad, everyone has right to have opinion
    I understand that people are quitting fan club if they don't like the rules anymore but why they don't listening to music anymore? Stop listening to music if you don't like the fan club is just.... weird.

    Too bad you decided to quit, hope your love to music will stay strong

    Anyway happy new year everyone, hope it will be even better than 2010 for you all!!!

    I've read everything on here and also thought about it a few times over the past 24 hours and I don't mind the price increase, everything goes up. I can't think of one single thing that costs now what it did in 1991. Shit, look at gas...

    The one thing that bothers me is the lack of effort put into the new packages. If you want to up the renewal fee by $25 (international) that's fine. $50 is still lower than a lot of other fan clubs. But it would be nice to see them come up with something awesome. This is the 20th anniversary. You're telling me, no one in the 10c offices could come up with something more appealing that a t-shirt?

    Who's to say something isn't planned? I think that's something that should be judged after the fact. At the end of the year if nothing is done I think your point is valid.

    I agree but I'll take it one step further. It's not "weird", it's misguided. There's a sense here that PJ owes something to us, where I feel that we owe something to them.

    I don't mind price increases if I feel I'm getting something for my money. In this instance I don't think there is enough to justify the increase. I couldn't care less about a t-shirt or a download of something that is available for purchase by anyone. Other than those two things nothing has changed from what we got with the old membership. Access to previously unreleased stuff or some signed or exclusive merchandise would make it more worthwhile. I just renewed in Dec so I still have 11 months to decide what to do. If it weren't for the fact that only premium members get the vinyl single then it would be a no brainer. However I might just buy the vinyl single off ebay for the less than $10 I usually see them being sold for.

    Give me something substantial for my $40, and I'll gladly pay it. Until then, I might stick with the regular membership.

    I totally agree..Plus, now they want 40 bucks for shabby service at best..

    Huh? Last time I checked, they would have no careers or money without us. We don't owe them anything. We are the reason Ed is worth $80 million.

    The ticketing portion of the membership hasn't changed one bit, or as far as I can tell.

    I truly don't see what the big deal is.

    Has this been confirmed yet?

    Losing seniority would be a big deal.
    did you see me? i saw you.
  • I just e-mailed 10 Club...I already renewed my membership for 2011 prior to this announcement and I want the Analog membership!!! I'll be pissed if I miss out on the t-shirt, vinyl, hard copy of Deep and bootleg download because I already renewed. :x I'm looking forward to a response from 10 Club next week...hopefully this can be straightened out.

    It takes you 11 months to make a decision for how to spend $20?

    This is a perfect example of the absurdity of this thread.
  • Oh, and I don't mind the increase to $40! Analog all the way!

    You say that as though that's a bad thing. We are a capitalism society. Welcome to the real world which PJ has always been a part of. The price of gas is going up, the price of PJ fan club is going up. At least folks still have a $20 option, which pretty much still gets them what they got before, less being able to touch a vinyl record, which MOST probably complained about getting anyways..

    If you are like me and have a record player and have collected all PJ vinyl's, then you will probably have no problems paying an extra $20 to continue to do so.

    All the crying and carrying on is really bringing out the worst in some members.

    * Access to Fan Club only Ticket pre-sales

    Straight from the email. There is no way the Ten Club would change the ticketing policy and penalize long time members with this upgrade, or failure to do so, no way.

    If you think that their money is worth more than your experiences and pleasure from the music then I can't argue with you. For me, they have given me much more than I can give to them.

    You paid for everything they have gave you...So, what do you owe or need to give them?...
