    Nah, it's not just the ones with good numbers that are happy and not going anywhere... I have a crappy number and am never letting my membership lapse again, $20 per year is well worth it and I'm just busting with love for this band still and I don't see that changing. Bring on Philly! ;)

    Prepaying many years in advance is poor financial management. Some basic principles are to deposit cash as soon as possible and pay bills as late as possible without incurring penalties. You're just dispensing cash which could be used in the short term without any additional benefit. For example, there's no offer like renewing for 5 years and as a result getting your 10c number lowered, or anything like that. Nowadays, 10c sends an e-mail reminding you that your membership is going to expire. So the 10c renewal is no different than an insurance renewal or renewing a magazine subscription. I don't think $20-$25 once a year is too bad. Everybody has their own financial situation and priorities which need to be weighed against the benefits 10c membership provides vs. other priorities. For me, the $ to renew is no big deal. I'm not sure how anybody that cares would let their membership lapse. The reminder e-mail is really convenient.

    I have a mediocre number #251xxx. I thought I was forever banned to having mediocre to bad seats. But at LA3, I had very good seats, non lottery. I have all of the singles unopened. One day they may more than pay for the membership if I had to go that route. I dunno, it doesn't seem to be something people should get so emotional about.

    Well anyone who is pre-paying is probably not looking at the investment implications, BUT I will say this, if membership dues ever go up (and they are overdue to), then those of us with long paid dues will benefit from having been grandfathered in at the lower cost.

    That is a risk reward scenario, as is the idea that if they broke up next year, I would have thrown away some cash.... but none of that is a concern for me.

    I like seeing the expiration date at 2014, and if I get the inspiration it might soon say 2022. 8-)

    it is $20 a year, you could drop that on the ground and lose it, you might be pissed off for an hour, but then you forget about it.
    or how bout i put it this way. It coust you about 5.5 cents a day to be in the 10c :o

    think of the things that you might miss and be pissed off about, and all because you did not want to pay 5.5 cents a day

    You are right - I bet a lot of people here spend more than that at a single show on beer.

    Will never let my membership lapse - joined in 02 and its nice to be moving up. I may forget to pay the electric bill on occasion, but never my 10C membership :lol:

    I'm dissapointed that my membership number dropped from 198000's to the 412000's, I believe I had a few months lapse once a long time ago. But I have been a member since 2000 so I feel like that was a crappy way to treat members.

    I can get better seats off stubhub and friends with tickets to special shows. I saw them at lollapalooza 2008 and that was every fan for himself, so i got a way better spot there than having to suffer through 10c tickets. I got to see them at the beacon theater with a friend who had tickets, and that was also a lot easier and less betraying than letting 10c shaft me up the buns.

    Now that I can get new album releases including the hard bound packaging and the vinyls from Independent record stores and Target, I have no need to pre-order them through 10c's goods store and suffer from late shipments, incorrect shipments, and missing items (yes i've had all 3 problems happen to me)

    My renewal is coming up this month. I know this doesn't reflect the band, it reflects the dissapointing policies and slow overhead of 10c. Yah i know, i won't get the xmas vinyls or the newsletter. But so what - I enjoy hearing them at the concerts, that's what matters.

    Yah this is a rant, but I gotta say something, if something's wrong, I'm not gonna hide it.

    Bye people. Long live pearl jam. :|

    :P

    MEMBERSHIP INFO
    Your membership is current. Your membership will expire on Nov 1, 2014


    Your member number is ..

    there is always a way to keep your membership number :D

    Last time I called and asked the club told me my member number was on the shipping label of my holiday single. My original number was 5 digits.
    I had a number in the 100,000's. I had a number in 170,000's I had also had number 231709. A few in the 400,000 and 500,000. Now it's 600,000 maybe. It's just a random number. I've had so many. I can't look through years of mailing labels to list them all. I've never needed it for anything any ways

    Honestly? I really don't think it matters. But have fun Dude?
    Don't let it expire if you like numbers.

    Do you really think you are leaving????

    I've never gotten a good seat from 10C being a member off and on since the mid-90's. But i still pay for this membership mainly for the wax, i was they would do away with the digital downloads for the holiday single. It takes away the surprise and fun of getting the single in the mail. The other crap they've been throwing at us is really not of much interest either these days. ie. that shirt/sticker packs!? But that being said this club is far from perfect but i will continue to be a part of it.
