Ten Club vs. Scalpers

Why do we pay membership fees if we aren't guaranteed fan club tickets? This may be my last year :(

After trying for 40 minutes, I was able to get tickets in my cart to the Chicago show, and lost them twice due to "errors." I even got to the 3rd stage of the checkout process, and then "lost" the tickets.

Now I must pay scalpers for tickets to this concert.

Maybe some of the scalping money will reach the pockets of Ten Club.

    How would they possibly guarantee tickets to all members?

    In my opinion, Ticketmaster is a kind of scalper...

    In my experience, the Ticketmaster tickets might sell out before they even go on sale. If you know what I mean.

    :evil: :evil: :evil:

    :D
