We heard about the problem with tickets. Interested in YOUR PERSONAL experience from the 5/19 show....

Once you get in from the show - let us know how it went for YOU!

Member Number:
Seat Location:


EDIT: It seems some people are not aware of the terms & conditions under which these tickets were sold, so I am posting the following agreement that all purchasers (and seller) agree to when buying Ten Club tickets:

"Tickets are allocated by seniority within the fan club. The longer you have been in the club, the closer your seats are to the stage. Proximity to the stage is also contingent upon how many members are in attendance at a show"

You will find this and more important ticket info at: http://www.pearljam.com/tenclub/tickets.php
ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    This is a pretty cool site.

    And a few people wrote in right after they picked up their tickets.

    I can't wait to read all the crying from the elite. There is such an elite attitude in the 10Club, that sometimes I feel like I'm in highschool all over again.

    its elite for people to get what they are supposed to get? whatever.

    Familiarize yourself with this paragraph from the pj website:
    Tickets are allocated by seniority within the fan club. The longer you have been in the club, the closer your seats are to the stage. Proximity to the stage is also contingent upon how many members are in attendance at a show.

    Dude, he never said anything about that. He just said 'the elite'

    Let's avoid fights on here. Afterall, we're all here because of the same Love.

    It sounded like he was eagerly awaiting hearing them complain, for his enjoyment - and I know there's going to be a lot of people who have waited for PJ to play there, and will be understandably be upset.... but I hear you...

    I think it IS a problem when you are sold something with specific terms and conditions, and you find out you were sold something else.

    I agree. I'm loving these larger-than-usual breaks that they left between shows. It's making for longer shows, and I'm only assuming more energy by the band.

    How many 30+ song shows did they have back to back last tour?

    Loving it guys! Good thinking

    Everybody paid the same price. No seats are guaranteed. I don't think that someone would skip a show just because they aren't in the first 5 rows.

    do you realize how many people there are all over the world that would give anything to be at this show?

    all. over. the. world.

    and all these people that are gonna come here and bitch were there.

    physically in the building when it happened.

    blessed.

    they should be PROUD of PJ for what happened.

    it means they care. it means it is everything you read about, everything people say about it. it's otherworldly being at a live show.

    and i don't care where the hell i am, as long as i'm there.

    YES YES YES

    That is the exact way to look at it. I don't agree with people normally bitching about their seat location, but if they bitch tonight it takes the cake.

    They would essentially be mad because a new member got something slighlty better than they had. It's like the little kid who loves his new toy until another kid gets a better one.

    You're right. It should have read:

    "Spoiled brat fans that expect 1st class service, lobster, and caviar served in the front row will be accomodated. No one else will be considered EVER to have a chance at a good seat. No matter how big a fan you've been your entire life, EVERYTHING depends on how long you've been in a fan club. The band actually enjoys seeing the same 45 people every single night, and have no interest in seeing new fans whatsoever."
