...about the consistent ticket calamities? I say absolutely not. Ed would have certainly addressed it at PJ 20.....he completely would have said 'thanks for waiting'

    How can they not know?

    It doesn't take a massive effort to come on here and see what's happening.

    When they play in front of a sell out crowd everywhere they play, the real question is "do they care?" As long as the tickets sell, all is well.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.

    I bet they know. But they don't have that direct contact with the fanbase. Or just doesn t care enough. They see all the smikley faces at the shows, and that is all they need.

    If this was regaridng Foo Fighters, Dave would been in here wriitng something.
    If if was NIN, reznor would have tweeted an apology at least.

    Didn't Ed reference along the lines of "some of you suffered more then others to get here" at Alpine...

    When he said it I thought it was F5.

    I think they probably know about it, but unless you are the one one experiencing a full day of frustration hitting F5, you may not think to mention it 4 months later after preparing for PJ20, all of the BS and organizing that goes with it and also the Canada and SA tours...

    It sure stuck out out in my mind after being one of the ones that had tix in my cart several times and couldnt check out.

    But for the Euro tour pre-sale, I was in and out with my Amsterdam tix in under 5 mins.
    While I certainly feel everyone's pain having been through it myself, it is not in my mind like it is with those who could not secure tix.
    6 months from now at the show, will I remember this fiasco? Sure, but it probably won't be in the fore front of my mind like it will for others.

    So, what you're saying is "Jeff is a failure"?

    No. It isn't Jeff's job to make sure this never happened again. All I'm saying is that at least 1 person of the band knew about it.

    I'm hoping the band doesn't know...Because, if they do know what is going on?...But, they aren't doing anything to help this situation out or find a solution....Pretty much tells me how much they care..

    He made it his job by stating it would never happen again, no?

    Wow, I have seen a lot of members who never complain complaining here right now. Things must be super screwed up around here. Got the email a little bit ago and see what has happened. Again. Wow

    They're kinda damned either way. Either they know and just don't care (which is lame), or they don't know and don't care to know how their organization is being run (which runs counter to the image they like to put forth that they're "different" than other bands of their stature).

    For what it's worth U2 had a massive fuck up with their fan club ticket sales in 2005 which resulted in Larry Mullen stepping in and intervening within twenty-four hours and the sale taking place a second time to basically universal acclaim/satisfaction from the entire fan club. That's saying a lot of if U2 is more in touch with matters of this nature than Pearl Jam (as U2 is a band a lot people on this board would instantly name as an example of someone who is completely out of touch with their fans)...

    I remember that...Larry Mullen also apologized to a national audience during the grammy awards.

    Does any of the band members have the sack to apology to all the 10c fans?....We know none of the 10c staff are going to make an apology..
