Why do people feel so entitled to 10C tickets?

We deserve access to the tickets we want (shows). The lottery causes people to panic and overreact and try for multiple sets/shows where usually they wouldn't. People miss out. Premium paying fans miss out on what we are ultimately paying for... access to Pre-sale tickets.

We pay $40 or $20 a year for this membership. We only deserve what that money will buy and it pretty much can barely pay for a dinner out for two. For the price of a dinner you think you deserve guaranteed tickets to wherever Pearl Jam plays?

All this is about is greed. The fan club generates more revenue by making this a lottery.

How so? They don't sell any more fan club tickets now than in the past. Are you thinking more people will join the fan club because it takes less time to try for tickets?

I wonder if there are people who have "Highly proficient in F5" in the skills section of their resume?

Because we all know it is a skill and should be used.

there was no "luck" with F5, if you were diligent enough you could score tickets. if you were lazy and gave up you didnt. so those who wanted to go to the show the most got the tickets, those who didnt, didnt.

in a nutshell those are the people who u want at the show no? not just the "well if i get them i guess i will go" people

Let's see.... how this would have gone?

Sorry ma'am, the doctor can't see you now. He cancelled his clinic so he can stay home to score concert tickets.

Sorry sir, I think you should have enough spinal anesthesia on board to last a few more hours. I know it looks strange that I am in the corner of the operating room on the computer, but you must understand that I'm a pretty hard core fan.

Your honor, I think you understand why Mr. Smith's treatment didn't go well. No, I don't think my judgement was altered. Yes, I was up until 3 AM hitting F5. Tired???? No, the half a pot of coffee usually takes care of that.

:fp: Some of us have jobs, lives, etc that get in the way of sitting on a computer website. Others have a sense of entitlement that gets in the way of reason and logic.

In your silly unrealistic example, the doctor would have known the on sale date in advance, and planned for this. Maybe had another doctor cover, or have one of his assistants log in and get the tickets for him. Why is this so hard to understand?

I'd venture to say most of the people on here have jobs, lives, etc. Some of us seem to be able to plan around them, some just want to make excuses.

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I must have misread your saying to me "your words, not mine". I was just starting my post with the same comment that you made in mine to be sarcastic dude. I'll start "researching" more on the opinions I have about the same posts I've read from so many people here. I thought my "opinion" didn't require me to do additional research, but I'll get on that boss.

Apology accepted. As for the "your words, not mine" saying. I said it because you were trying to put words in my mouth, it made no sense when you just repeated it. It wasn't funny, witty, or sarcastic... just strange. I'm glad you realize that you need to do some more research before forming an opinion. I'm actually not sure how you can have an opinion without actually researching a topic. Another lesson learned for you.

Seems that by some peoples logic the lottery was created for those who have jobs and lives and cannot find the time to purchase tickets. Kudos to the 10 club for recognizing the working class..........

Sorry....you failed. It so happens this silly unrealistic example is true. I am a doctor. I have standards. I don't put off taking care of patients for concert tickets. You should hope your physician doesn't either. There is no one sitting around waiting to cover me. Besides my group has about 30 office staff. I take any time off for anything short of personal vacation, then I can't pay my employees.

I'm stunned that after your first post you actually needed to defend it. Just goes to show you that once people get their minds fixed on something... they aren't prepared to consider any amount of common sense or logic that is in opposition to their way of thinking.

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. I don't want to come off as an arrogant ass because it doesn't matter that I am a physician. The real point is that desire, effort, and deserving had nothing to do with the old ticket system. The guy who can't give up a shift delivering pizzas at night because he has to keep a roof over his family's head is just as important as what I do. The point is there is more to life than sitting around F5ing.

The only fail was yours.... when you failed to read the part about one of your assistants getting the tickets for you. Or how about a family member or friend? How exactly would you be putting off taking care of patients for a concert ticket if you got tickets any of those ways? If you can't make simple plans such as these... I'm sure glad you're not my doctor!

The ironic thing is you did exactly what you accused me of. Your mind is fixed on something, and you aren't prepared to consider any amount of common sense of logic that is in opposition to your way of thinking. It doesn't take a mental giant to figure out a way to accommodate the F5 system. If you can't take off work... FIND A WAY. Get one of your assistants to do it, or ask a family member or friend. You get TWO tickets; ask the person who you plan to take with you.

Another FAIL… because you did come off sounding like an ass.

If you can't give up a shift delivering pizzas to keep a roof over your families head, then PJ tickets aren't and shouldn't be a priority for you. Regardless, you could switch shifts, work extra hours another day, or just enlist the help of friends or family. It just takes a little planning and effort.

You F5 haters are all the same and don't see the big picture; don't have an open mind to common sense and logic. Why is the lottery good for tickets, but not good for merchandise, seat allocation, venue entry, etc?

chime · February 2013

The idea of NEEDING to take a vacation day to buy a CONCERT TICKET is INSANE :shock: When this is what the system became with the F5ing, ripped faces, servers having to be taken down things had to change.

Again no system where buying a ticket to a concert REQUIRED you to take a day off work or for you (or a friend or family member) to put aside hours and in cases where servers had to be taken down ... hours across days could or should have been allowed to continue.

Kudos to 10c for making a change.
