2013 Bootlegs Halted?

KH453 · January 2014

Has NUGS or whomever works on these just completely halted production and releases? Hartford has been the most-recently added for a good while now. I'm looking forward to getting the box that I dropped nearly $400 on. I just hope it isn't July when it shows up.

Still waiting on 2011 and 2012 boxes to be compiled/released, too. Or at least word that they won't be so I can buy the individual shows.

Words to live by around here: Never buy anything from the 10c that isn't ready to ship immediately, unless you can handle waiting for an extended period time and don't really mind when it will arrive.

Obviously it's not always the 10c that is to blame directly, but they do have a track record of these kinds of things happening - most notably since we all celebrated the band being off of Sony's label. I think that change did wonders for the band, but not so much for the fans. It's hard doing it on your own and there are no longer any contractual obligations to release things as in years past. All those amazing things we all pictured happening after they cut ties with Sony didn't really happen, but it's not like we were promised anything. Well, except a REAL concert vault, and of course, something big, bold and FREE

Crazy the Ten Club can't enlighten us on this situation. Remember the day they keep us in the loop. Disappointing.

No kidding. I mean, Nugs is essentially their sub-contractor, yet they can't seem to take any responsibility and defer all issues to Nugs, who takes weeks to respond.

i have money burning a hole in my pocket. Ready to buy some boots!

I would be very impatient by now if my five show's boots weren't already released...

2011, 2012 ... feel like i should just start picking a few up at a time. Not looking like there's any sort of box coming soon for those...

if only we had Ed's cell... Dammit man!

YLed2 · January 2014

I feel the same. I dropped nearly $400 on the box set when it was first released, and was pissed about doing so considering I thought the latest I would get these would be March. The way it's looking now, we will be lucky to get the box set by June of this year. #debacle.

I certainly hope 10c would give a discount/credit back to those who initially purchased the box set right away, and then later put the set on sale for a lower price - not to mention the interruption/delay in the release of these boots.

Take your money now, but give you the product a year later. We all expected to receive this later, but the way things are going now - it's looking like it will be the 4th of July until we get the box set (if we're lucky).

I got them to cancel my initial order and then repurchased at the discounted rate...you just had to contact 10C.

yup, once again the 10c does a great job of communicating exactly what is going on. *eyeroll*

Yep, waiting is one thing but not even knowing what's going on is another.

maybe Nugs got besieged with orders and needed a minor break....it'll all resume soon enough

FYI, here's the reply I got from the 10c on the 22nd:

"Hi Chris,
Thanks for your email. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We are hoping to have the 2013 Lightning Bolt Tour Bootlegs start up again in the next couple weeks. Please be sure to stay tuned.
Please be sure to add donotreply@pearljam.com & shipping@tenclub.net to your email address book so you will not miss updates.
Be sure to stay posted to the site & forum for any future updates.
Have a Happy New Year!~
Best Wishes,
10c"

I guess we'll wait and see.

"Credit card will be charged at time of purchase" are words I hate to read. I almost never buy anything if they put that unless it's obviously limited. I didn't even order LIghtning Bolt until September just cause I didn't want to pay for it 3 months ahead of time... but $400 is insane.
