Let Your Voice Be Heard

I would really love to experience a tour in NA, could use some quiet for a change, a different way to enjoy a show. Conclusion: we´re all getting old

The 'Mind your Manners' T-Shirts sold at Wrigley are not specific to that show and really should be in the shop NOW! The first promo single off the new album, get these shirts out!!!!

Thanks,
-Brian

Is there any way the band would consider doing even just one Ten Club only show somewhere in Australia?

It would be an absolute win-win situation. There are very few fans in Australia who wouldn't travel for such a show, and given Australia's lower population overall, it would stand to reason that the band could do one medium sized show in say either Melbourne or Sydney (or my vote, beautiful sunny Perth!), and a massive chunk of 10c members would be able to attend. Certainly more members than in other countries could be included in the one show is what I am trying to get at.

Given that they will already be out here for BDO, they could do such a show a few days after the Perth BDO, make a tonne of money and make their loyal Aussie fans happy at the same time. Band gets easy money that doesn't interfere with their family holiday plans too much, and fans get a relatively intimate show. Win-win if you ask me.

win win indeed,but..if u was the one organize BDO and pay millions to pj to play headsline..u will let them do side shows?so all their hardcore fans go there and not buy your tickets at your festival??
they will not let them di side shows,they have contracts..sucks,but is how music intustry works
they will not pay millions of dollars and not sell out cos fan club memebrs want arena shows,
no one from fan base of pj will go to festivals,if there are side shows..its logic,they sign contracts they have the rights of the band and quarantee will not play other shows..
sucks,but its how thing are

Pearl Jam headlining BDO isn't going to influence the ticket buying here in Australia enough to make a massive dent in the organisers' pockets. Big Day Out will sell out regardless of who is playing because the bottom line of that particular festival is that it's prime audience is teens and twenty-somethings who are there not for the music but to spend a day getting as shitfaced as possible, showing as much skin as possible in the blaring summer heat. It's basically like a nightclub scene but in the daytime.

I understand their contractual obligations regarding exclusivity, BUT if they did a show a week or so after the last show logic says that their exclusivity rights would be null and void at that point.

I also think you are missing the point of why people here are upset - it's not necessarily that it's a festival although there is a little of that. It's more that it's THIS particular festival. It's shit. If they had announced they were headlining something like Splendour in the Grass or any of the other better quality festivals it really wouldn't be an issue and I would be jumping at the chance. Big Day Out should have died in the late 90's - it's a far cry from the show it once was.

i know one thing for sure...when pj are headline at festival,the specific festival from shit can be gold..and instead of nothing,ill take pj at any shitty festival,any day of the year.

I am very stoked to have received G.A for Oakland.
I have a dilemma,and a question. If the gates open up, say at noon.
And I need to find my place in the Sun.:), How am I able to go to the
Wishlist party @ 3:00 and still have a spot close to the front. I guess the
Wishlist Party is geared around those in Preferred Seating,because they can show up at will,
knowing they have a designated seat. Unless I have my Son save a spot LOL,
And hope to find him when I return. (That'll never happen)

Dear Ten Club,

I am writing this in a severely upset mood and may calm down at a later time. However, at this moment I am extremely upset with the current ticketing policy. I have been a fan since the early nineties and have been a fan club member since 1996. I never expect to be given anything in life and work hard for what I earn. That being said I have given my unyielding support to this band, been to over 30 shows, traveled to other countries just to see Pearl Jam play, purchase merchandise, gotten a stickman tattoo and a green disease tattoo, etc, as many diehard fans have.

I have never not been able to get fan club tickets to a fan club show. However, this time around I like many die hard fans did not receive opportunity to purchase tickets because of your lottery. Frankly, I do not care if new members in the past did not get a chance at ten club tickets. Sure I got GA tickets to hartford, which was my first choice. However, I did not win the "lottery" for either Worcester show, which is in my home state. The ten club was built on the whole idea of seniority and now its based upon basically socialism and the people who have worked hard to maintain their membership year after year get shafted. What next? Discounted merch for new members as well? If this was the government might as well be passing out free food stamps to all the newbies too. Anyway, I kept my membership strictly for the access to the tickets. Now why bother? I might as well cancel my membership save the $40 a year and buy tickets thru a broker and still save money, if this is the current policy. Honestly, Pearl jam comes around maybe every few years so the extra money I would save on canceling my membership for a few yrs would probably be more than the extra money paid for ticket via a broker or scalper.

Additionally, the day tickets went on sale for Worcester they said tickets are unavailable and it still says this. However, the ticketmaster apple application says tickets are available. This is complete bull-crap. Everyone should have the same access.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S SACRED, RELEASE PJ20!!!!! DAMN!!!

To add to the list of complaints. It is absolutely ridiculous that today you "found" additional tickets for the second Worcester show, even though people like me lost the lottery for both Worcester shows GA and seating. Who is the bonehead in charge? He should be fired. This does not make sense.

maybe not shafted but pushed to the side

Not at all. That would mean that newer members have more benefits than senior members. That is not at all the case. Senior members still have more benefits that newer ones because of the reserved seating selection... Just like it's ALWAYS been. That has always been the only benefit that seniority brought, since they even did that. There was a time when it didn't even do that. Also, it is not Socialism, but that line really made me chuckle, so thanks.

where is reserved seating?

Depends on the venue, but the idea is that reserved seating is preferred seating, and the higher your seniority the better your seat assignment is.... Is that what you're asking??
