    The 10club should offer one year extensions to us since we all have been victimized and once the perpetrator is caught, sue the person accordingly for these damages to begin with.

    I don't even really know how to put this into words but all of this seems a little strange to me. Everyone here seems to be complaining about a lack of information (which is perfectly legit!!) and a lot of those people go on and on about what they think went wrong and yet almost nobody seems to have any real information regarding anything that happened during the last 1.5 days on the side of 10c management... I mean, we simply do not know what really happened. That's a fact.
    So while I feel it's appropriate to address the issue of the flow of information (or lack of it), I personally feel that it's not really decent criticism to be judgmental about the process in general without knowing all the facts. There really might be a little more to it than we realize.
    This might be an unpopular post, but I had to say it.
    Off to bed now. Have to get a few hours of sleep before the sale ;)
    Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!!

    KInd of reminds me of OJ Simpson saying he would be searching for the perpetrator of the murders, all he needed to do was look in the mirror.

    I see what you're saying and initially felt the same way. But for them to allege there is a saboteur amongst us would be be tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. There must be some solid evidence; I just hope we're kept informed as this is now very interesting. And I get there are more serious problems in the world than us fans not getting tickets to some rock concerts but I got nothing else going on in my boring life :D , to which I am great full in some ways; but presently bored nonetheless. Let's get him :twisted:

    ticketmaster was today.. if you regsitered before that is.

    I got them that way. Tomorrow is the general sale for everyone.

    I'd expect a lot of 10clubbers to get shut out as scalpers know that PJ tickets go for a pretty penny on Ebay.

    it's a shameful disaster of a process.

    I was asleep when the e-mail arrived (00.19) ... and only saw it after the Oslo sale had happened. Just disappointed I didn't even get a chance to try and get a ticket :(
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    19 years a fan, 9 years in the 10 club, and for the very first time, I really feel my faith waver. Not by the band, not by the music, but in my belief that the Peal Jam fan experience was somehow special, that we were all - members and 10C staff - on the same side becuase of mutual love for this band and the sheer thrill of being involved with it.

    I have always been one of those who took the 10C's side when people slagged them off, because I have always wanted to believe that they did, in the end of the day have our best interests at heart. But I find it hard to find any evidence of that in this instance. Sabotage or not, it's because of the distainful refusal to communicate, I feel taken for granted, and badly let down by those I had such geniune faith in.

    Something special has been lost. I just find the whole thing really saddening.

    so i managed to get 4 tickets for the show in stockholm. 4 people, 2 of them are 10c members. we have 1 GA ticket, and three different seats, two of them in the last corner of the Globe. To avoid any scenario like this, we became 10c members.
    and now, on my parents 25th anniversary journey, they cant even enjoy the music they love toghter. i really dont care about all the other shit that happend during the last couple of days, but this is driving me nuts.

    Pretty much covers my views

    i am not one to lose my cool and rant about how awful the 10c is, because ive always felt that regardless of competence they where trying there best, unfortunatly, this is not the impression i get from them now

    ticketmaster are a wonderful company. I say that with no hint of irony or sarcasm.

    They sell tickets and they sell them well. I applaud their efficiency and professionalism. I dont hate Ticketmaster cos Stone tells me to ... i do what i want. We're not all puppets. I'm in it for the music... not to save fucking salmon or whatever the cause du jour is.

    I know what you arte saying, I meant is that I don't think I was registered ad it did not let me buy them.

    I have bought many tickets with Ticketmaster before and like you say, no problems... I just don't get what registration, as when I went to get them it ask to create an account I put my e-mail and password and the box to pick tthe number of tickets did not come up... I do not know man.

    I (we) scored for Berlin, Copenhagen. For Stockholm, seats in Block C... So far the more (standing = 10c tickets, what I only believe when I am there) or less (seats in Block C!) good news. Still looking for Stockholm standing tickets and Oslo anyway. Amsterdam will be ours on Saturday!

    I am VERY disappointed about the way things went. Not talking about technical difficulties. I can not judge these.
    But WHY NOT take a certain amount of standing tickets from the public presale and reserve them for the 10c? I got to bed at 12:30 am and read the email at 9:02 am... we are talking about European time presale and not Seattle afternoon tea time hours. Damn! So, giving the 10c tickets to the public presale supports scalpers! I know, there are always scalpers...I can not believe why we pay our Fan Club bucks and have to face this crap. I am not the person who expects perfect results coming out of a thing when you spend money. That is not the thing how the world works or should do. But as a person and as a 10c member I feel treated very badly. Information policy: Poor. And then: WHY DID YOU THROW THE FANCLUB TICKETS INTO THE PUBLIC PRESALE ALMOST AT LAST MINUTE?!?!

    I am very disappointed and angry. I think I can ONLY rely on the kindness and generosity of the FANS I connect with. Hail Hail!

    First, i was lucky enough to score tickets for the Berlin and Amsterdam show at the crowdsurge presale! I'm not going to complain about the technical problems and the server breakdown (or whatever the problem was...) because i expected it to be like this! So far so good!
    My wife Kathi, also a TC member, tried to get tickets for Berlin too. The reason is, we want to invite my sister and her partner to come to a PJ concert for the first time. I scored my tickets with my membership, she tried to get the Berlin tickets with her membership. She had the tickets in her cart but got the message that she is not able to get them because a person in the same household already bought tickets for this show!!!???

    I emailed TC and hope to get a reply. How can it be that we pay 2 times $ 50 for our international memberships to have access to TC tickets but are not allowed to get them? Its the first time that i am really disappointed about the TC policy/service.

    today the general sale started! We could try again to get two tickets but what if we come to the venue and the TC stuff tells us that we won't get a second pair of wristbands because we are married and have the same address.

    One thing is clear: Kathi (my wife) will not renew her membership again!
