Tons of 10C members sell their tix to scalpers. For sure. It's not like 10C does interviews to sort out the bad eggs. Any asshole can join.[/quote]

Yes, but having to pick up the tickets and show ID, and the credit card used to buy the tickets, doesn't exactly make it easier for the scalpers..... I'm sure it happens, but I still like to think the best of my fellow 10Clubbers.

I actually don't think very many professional scalpers buy 10C tix, if any. My best friend's brother is a ticket broker unfortunately, and there is no way he or anyone else he knows in the ticket brokerage biz would bother doing this. Small potatoes. They don't have the time or motivation to bother with 2 tix at a time and go pick them up. They focus on their other shady practices that get them more tix faster. Amateur scalpers only. So just your average, everyday a-hole. But I think there are also plenty of members who are actually PJ fans who scalp. They don't care as much as some of us and simply choose $1200 over going to a show when they manage to score tix to a high demand venue. No rule saying you can't be a solid Pearl Jam fan AND a dick.

Hello 10c ers
Due to an insane work sched, (and a lot going on in my life) I missed out trying for a chance at the lotto for the north american tour. I realize that a lot of people tried and didn't get 10c tickets but I just wanted to throw this out there in case the opportunity should present itself. If anyone that has tickets for some reason can't go I am interested in buying tickets (i'll travel to wherever) for PJ this fall. I know I'm not the only one who would be interested in tix but I thought that if any fellow 10c members had a conflict and couldn't attend a show it might be nice to give another 10c member a chance to buy them before selling to the general public. I can't keep up with all the info through here. Just throwing it out there. Hoping to score tickets in a few days... Thanks for reading.

Anyone gonna organise a pin/button/badge competition for this tour? I know it's been done for previous tours. Just wondering.

But why should an actually true PJ fan sell his/her tix anyway? It is hard enough to get them, but then selling the tix again for ridiculous prices??? I would not call those people REAL PJ fans, sorry.
Maybe to kill those a-holes: that all the unfortunate real fans who did not win tickets...............DO NOT buy tix, for example, when the selling price is over the actual stated prices. Just suffer a bit, but dont spend ridiculous amounts of your hard earned money and fill the pockets of those bastards !!!!

Is that a good idea :-D

I think the 10 club should have some responsibility to enforce the rules about selling fan club tix. For example, if you go on a ticket site you can find people selling general admission/pit tix to both Brooklyn shows right now. For $3000-$5000 each. My understanding is that only people in the 10 club had access to these tix. The 10 club could track these sellers down by pretending to be buyers and then revoke their memberships.

This is another negative for the lottery system IMO. The kind of fans that would scalp their tix are more likely to be newer sign-ups. Its unlikely someone who has been in the club 15 years would risk losing their memebership and seniority for a few bucks. Yet those aiming to scam the system now have has much of a chance at getting tix as long time members. Not good.

Pretty sure the GA tix on sale right now are mostly if not entirely fake postings. Scalpers anticipate having GA tix without actually having them, or make those postings so that they can get a reading on the demand/market for tix. That's why there were GA tix for Wrigley posted for $25,000 each right after the lottery. Not because some 10C member who actually won them posted them. The best way to tell the difference is that most of those fake postings say that they'll courier the tix to you. Obviously, that wouldn't be the case if it's 10C tix.

I am unclear on how you think the lottery has any impact on whether or not newer or older members get tickets. Seniority has never had anything to do with that.

They boys' management must have beef with the Midwest. And no, Pittburg does not count and OKC does not represent most of the region. Yes, they did play Chicago, but that's technically part of the tour. I'm hoping for some more NA dates! Come on guys, let's make good!
