Just think about it.

Compare PJ and the 10c to any other band.

We are some lucky fuckers.

    I agree, I was able to get some shows, but not all. I am happy though. I am glad I got the chance.

    I completely agree. I only tried for one night and I was unable to score tickets. Even with that, I still want to give thanks to the 10C for providing the opportunity to get tickets.

    amen, bro. from most of the messages on thsi board, though, you'd also have to say: we're some truly whiney fuckers ... we're some truly spoiled fuckers ... and we're some truly impatient fuckers. but i guess it all comes from love. somehow.

    Agreed 100%. There are a lot of band fanclubs out there, but none hold a candle to what PJ and 10club do for us.

    i've always felt lucky to be a pearl jam fan. i hear so many great stories about people meeting the band and how nice they are to them. they are a band that truly cares and they along with ten club absolutely take care of the fans. i think this was mentioned in another thread but on the picture in a frame dvd when mike is outside the hotel with the fans signing autographs he makes sure everyone is taken care of before he leaves. thats very cool id say!

    Agreed. I am also a huge Tool fan and I can't stand that every show I go to corporate goons are down in the front of the show....and the real fans are in the back. I don't know why they don't change that.

    I <3 Pearl Jam and their fan club.

    I feel for the 10c though... damned if you do, damned if you don't...

    Some people need to realize that everyone is human.

    This is the #1 best thing about the 10C...the fans sit close! Without a doubt the best idea and execution EVER!!

    Agreed. I tried for both DC shows yesterday and didn't get tickets for either. Even after hopelessly clicking away for an hour and a half yesterday and then staying late at work last night to catch up on what I didn't accomplish during the day, I still say we are lucky. For those like me who tried but didn't get tickets, it is too bad, but at least we had an opportunity.

    the difference with radiohead is that it is a complete clusterfuck to get tickets, since anyone is allowed to buy them, and scalpers can scoff em up. i've never gotten thru for rh.

    TRU DAT. I was talking to my dad's friend and his daughter who are fan club members for some older bands like the rolling stones, bruce springsteen, etc. Fan club membership is $100, and you get nose bleed seats you still have to pay an arm and a leg for. Even my mom, who knows nothing about rock music "it seems like Pearl Jam really cares about their fans."

    couldnt agree more - just imagine if you had to compete with the public for every show with no chance at 10c seats

    they dont tell you onsale times, so diehards get tix since those people stay up for 24hrs (me included). Yes scalpers get tix, but scalpers get 10club tickets also, and tenclub ticket buying is a clusterfuck too.

    But damn straight others have been!

    Do they cry that "you guys" don't rock out hard enough?

    Do they whine and complain about EVERYTHING???

    Just curious.....

    OMG!! Could you imagine if Pearl Jam didn't give us onsale times???

    Holy crap!

    People would be literally stroking out they'd be so pissed!!!

    its my opinion that PJ fans and Radiohead fans are the whiniest bitchiest fans on the planet. But fans of the bands are just spoiled with great music, amazing live shows and great seats.

    nah, not to the extent of radiohead lol. trust me, i've monitored for radiohead seats too as a big fan -- that doesn't stop the fact that the site is logjammed with people preventing even diehards from getting in by the time some idiot posts it everywhere that they're on sale. scalpers don't get tickets at all 99 percent of the time for PJ as there is a system in place where the 10c member has to be present to pick up tickets on the day of the show only. radiohead lets anyone in the world get at em, and ships them out before the show, essentially letting scalpers reap the profits. no doubt they set aside amazing seats, but in terms of the better system for priority seats, 10c wins by a landslide.
