then you might see its worth the extra.

Yeah I will be thrilled for more recipes and interviews with Josh Homme.

Back in day in deep magazines...Which they weren't called that back then..But, we would get letters from the band members...Or some sort of useful information in it..Know all it is just pictures, useless interviews and some recipes...Only part I like about the deep is the letters the fans write in...

I honestly can't believe all the moaning here. Yep, the fee is going up but how many people would spend $20 on a PJ tee anyway? Its worth it for the vinyl single alone in my opinion. International membership will cost me roughly £30-£35 - i'll spend that on a night out, i know what i prefer!

I do have one gripe though - when did we last get a Deep magazine!?!?!?

You guys are so predictable. Every announcement by this band and the Ten Club is met with complaints.

To this fan you all come off as a bunch of ungrateful bastards.

For those of you complaining about the tiered membership - you won't get less for choosing to keep your membership price the same. You will still get everything you currently receive. If a hard copy of items is so important to you then you need to decide if it's worth the additional cost. If it isn't - renew at the same rate and get an MP3 and PDF. As long as you are a member you still get the content.

You guys forget that this is a business and the cost of running one includes hiring people to run the Ten Club, increased shipping costs, manufacturing costs, etc.

For those complaining about ticket prices - look around at other comparable bands today. PJ's prices are below their contemporaries. Whether its a ticket to a sporting event or a concert ticket prices increase over a period of time. This isn't 1991 anymore.

And for the person who compared this to the price of an REM membership - what do you get from REM for $12?

Umbertotamba · January 2011

For all the whinners!!!!

If money is sooo tight and the extra $20 is gonna hurt you then don't do it. Also if you are that hard up for the $20, you shouldnt be whinning about the fees going up but just jump out of the fanlclub all together because you should be using it for food/heat/electricity...

So if you are all that upset about it drop from the fanlcub and sell all your PJ stuff....Hopefully you will have a Benaroya Vinyl you will sell to me for $40 since it is against your morales to sell or make profit or bring up the price on anything.

Thank-You and I will now get off my soap box and go purchase an analog renewal!!!

I have no problem with the increase. C'mon people it's $20!! :roll: Think of all the shit you've wasted 20 bucks on. People are really upset about this? :roll: I've read through almost this entire thread and I just don't get it. Well, whatever. Hopefully some members with a higher number quit so I can move up.

It's nice that you think that... but... consider all the people who've lost their jobs recently. Consider people losing their houses and taking a pay drop. Consider the minimum wage in Ireland being cut by a euro an hour... thereby leaving the worst off in society even worse off by 2000euro a year :shock: .

Yeh, you're right, what's that $20 then? :roll: I used to think like that... then I moved to England where you actually earn pretty much nothing... and quickly learned what money's really worth! :? I think some people need to realise that they're LUCKY that $20 is nothing... and stop looking down on those who think it's something!

10C doesn't care that people may not be able to afford it... Pearl Jam hasn't shown one bit of identifying with the recession or those who have lost their jobs. This is quite clear in their increasing prices...

I can't remember the last time I thought 'wow, this stuff is great!' when receiving a DEEP magazine.

Not since the late 90's/Early 2000's

Ten Club and especially **Pearl Jam** - Surely you guys would have to approve this ridiculus change.

Given the response from YOUR fans, you should seriously re-consider. I think that you either need to add more to your Analog membership or stick with the 1 all inclusive $20 membership.

If you guys offered something 'rare' it might be worth our while. For instance, you have been filming every single show since the Off Ramp Cafe (possibly before?), why not not throw in an annual rare DVD say from 90-98. Majority of your hardcore fans already have most if not all of your boots and if we haven't bought them, we've traded them with other fans.

I'm in the same boat as all other international fans, my membership has doubled for the added bonus of a shirt that probably won't even fit.

I have veen a fan since 90/91 and have spent several thousands of dollars on CD's, merch, boots, dvd, vinyl and all things Pearl Jam. Heck, over the years I even bought a Yield belt buckle also a Pearl Jam stubbie holder on the Avacado tour.

Unfortunately, all things Pearl Jam are going up. I remember I paid $37.50 for my first Pearl Jam ticket in 95. Yes, I know prices are going to increase over the years, though now to pay $110 per show (including Eddie Vedder shows) is getting up there. Most of the Ten Club go to multiple shows. Living in Australia, majority of us go to every show.

I can afford the increase but like everyone else, I want to be getting more for my money, or at least be able to justify the $50.

As most of your fans were in their teens when the ''Seattle Sound" exploded, we've all grown up and now have mortgages and children, which makes it harder to justify all of your increases.

Time to go back to the drawing board on this one, I just hope that you still stand by your comments of wanting to give as much back to the fans as possible.

There have been several articles on TenClub being the best fan club around and giving back to their fans, I just hope you can turn this around to make that a true statement again.

It's called 'having an opinion'.
Calling it 'complaining' only shows your disability to challange things PJ/10-C does and to be honest enough to talk about it.

As for the R.E.M. Fanclub, here is what you get for $12 (instead of $50):
LATEST R.E.M. NEWS
Throughout the year, the Fan Club issues 4 newsletters, full of information about the band, as well as exclusive photographs and interviews. Topics range from tour and recording news, side projects, organizations the band members support, and, of course, the music.
MERCHANDISE
The Fan Club offers a wide variety of merchandise, including T-shirts, hats, and, from time to time, limited edition, Fan Club-only items. Members receive discounts on all merchandise offered through the Fan Club.
HOLIDAY PACKAGE
A Must! Holiday salutations from the band and office staff as well as exclusive songs and surprises. Past packages have featured 7" singles, videos, a CD, as well as custom greeting cards from the band and office staff, posters, calendars, stickers, and a whole lot more. The 1998 package included a two-song video excerpted from R.E.M.'s performance at the Tibetan Freedom Concert. In 1999, the package featured a CD collaboration of two songs from the Bridge School Concert in San Francisco with Neil Young. In 2000, R.E.M. recorded a Beatles' Fan Club-only song, "Christmas Time is Here Again," along with two original compositions compiled on 7" colored vinyl. The 2003 Single featured Wilco who toured with R.E.M.

I love this post and agree with it 100% and you were very respectful about it yet somehow, some people will attack you for it. Very well said.

A wise artist once stated "Things only have the power that you give them", and he would say if you like his art buy it and if you didn't like it then don't buy it. But why buy it to complain about it if you bought it, since it meant enough to you to buy it with your hard earned money.

Physical items are only as important as you percieve them to be. How important is it really to physically hold a 45 in your hand that contains music ? It as important as each of us percieves it! Is spending that extra $20 to get something you can hold in your hands worth it to people? Some people will say yes it is. Then again some of those same people still have unopened Benaroya Vinyl's sitting somewhere in their house because the value of the vinyls is more important than the music on them.

Come on, now one of you disgruntled people need to contact me about that Benaroya Vinyl you need to get rid of in disgust!!

I heard back from them on this yesterday. We will definitely get the vinyl and hard copy Deep. I don't think we will get the t shirt and bootleg though.

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.

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.

I respectfully disagree....Ed is part of the reason he's worth $80 million..his talent, his music, his words, his voice...all led us to pay out to reap the benefits of it all. I know the music business is a big rip off..something PJ fought against...but we are the ones who decided to put the money into his pot....so it is really a very equal partnership...his talent and our ability to appreciate it.

I agree with this 100 percent! Eddie and the other members of the band have worked hard and they deserve the money they have earned. Of course, we have purchased their music, gone to concerts, etc...but we do that because our lives have been touched by their music and we get something from it.
