Will the Ten Club be making any accommodations for its members who do not have smartphones and who do not have the ability to use "Mobile Entry" tickets?
I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I have emailed the Ten Club, as have other people.  Trying to get an answer as quickly as possible since we only have three days to submit orders, so I'm presenting the question in multiple channels.

    It is a fair question and no one should be forced to have a smartphone in order get the opportunity to fanclub tickets.

    If the safetix system is a barcode that refreshes every few seconds doesn't that imply that you need a smartphone and a mobile data plan?

    No one is forcing anyone to do anything. The Ten Club laid out the parameters for how they're going to address the issue of scalping and if that's a burden then I guess people can figure it out.

    Guessing an option will exist at will call.

    From what I gather from the ticketmaster info, you *could* go to the venue box office with ID and perhaps your code? They (ticketmaster) make it sound like that's an easy option, just would have to confirm with 10C if that's ok with pearl jam shows too :)

    I haven't seen that anywhere. Unless I'm missing something, that seems like a risky move.

    What is kind of funny is that the email even states how if you have a disability they will provide special seating to accommodate you. But what if your disability prevents you from using a smartphone. Will there be special tickets to accommodate you.

    To be honest a lot of times I kind of think that the steps taken to prevent scalping are kind of extreme. Especially when the two easiest ways to actually cut down on scalping would be to raise prices to what the market will bear or to play more shows.

    Yeah, I really wish they would raise ticket prices, since they aren't high enough...

    You don't need a data plan, just wifi and some sort of screen

    You can borrow someone's old phone or an iPod touch for the day and use mobile hotspots and venue wifi to get the tickets while at the venue

    You can:

    1.  Go with someone who has a smartphone
    2.  Borrow an old phone from a family member or friend for the day
    3.  Borrow/use an iPod touch that is also wifi compatible

    Unfortunate as it may be for those who don't have smartphones, these three options would be quite easy to pull together in the months leading up to these dates if need be and definitely doable

    That worked for me for the Fenway '18 shows.  I emailed 10C back then and was able to go to the will call window with the ticket info and my ID.  But the language in the new 10C ticketing announcement sounded pretty absolute about smartphone only tickets.

    And even borrowing a phone seems like an easy way around the policy for someone trying to profit off a 10C ticket.  Someone could easily give their 10C ticket access to a "friend with a smartphone".

    What if you don’t have email or a computer? What if you if you’re a Pearl Jam fan and want to purchase presale tickets through 10c but don’t want to be forced to use a computer? Should we allow write in ticket requests like the old days?
