    It’s access to a private show, actually. It is special treatment. I guess I should have access to the Super Bowl this year since it’s being played at a tax funded stadium. Get real man. 
    Actually, it's a public show.  Tickets are being sold to the public.  Anyone can buy a ticket.  A private show is when you play for an exclusive and specially invited group of people like, say, employees of Target.

    The Super Bowl is not a private event either.  The public can buy tickets to the event.  The available tickets are scarce and expensive, but  anyone can attempt to buy one and the ticket will be honored if you obtain it.

    It’s not private? My mailman was trying to put in for 10c tickets and wasn’t allowed. Turns out you have to be a paying member!!! With a special individualized access code!!
    You have to be a paying member to get Ten Club tickets.  That is only a subset of the available tickets.  
    Yes, and those are the only tickets that need to be referenced in this thread based on your concern.

    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 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.
    No need to worry about 10c tickets for “members only.” That is only a subset of the available tickets. These are 15,000-20,000-seat arenas. Plenty of “public” tickets will be available.

    I'm okay with them making an exception for those without smartphones.
    Except that when they pickup their tickets they must go into the venue. No way around it.
    In 1999 during the Springsteen reunion tour the first 17or 18 rows of reserved seats on the floor were sold in pairs only and they were pickup and walkin. No heading back out to sell them or tailgate or get something to eat.
    Pickup and walk in.

    Absolutely, As a non smartphone carrier I would gladly follow that rule. It almost makes too much sense.

    I've enjoyed this banter. Very interesting. I love how some people refuse to evolve and think they should be catered too. I'm pretty sure PJ will be wildly successful without the few dozen that do not have a smart phone. 

    I kinda wanna hear some of the reasons people say they don't have a smart phone in 2020. 
    I've been paying to see the band live since 1995 and have been a paying 10C member since 2000 without lapsing. My financial support is one of the reasons that Pearl Jam is "wildly successful" today. I don't own a smartphone because I have no use for one. I have a very economical Tracfone for phone calls and texts. I have a desk top computer for my internet access (and also scanning and printing). And I guarantee I'm at least as evolved as you, probably more so
    JM, we have to realize people like Shecky are just trolling(at least for their sake I hope they are). Obviously pearl jam doesn't need us or anyone anymore due to their vast wealth they have accumulated. It's the internet. Having or not having a smart phone has nothing to do with evolving, wealth, education level and more importantly happiness. Just a quick glimpse into why I don't have/need one is because I see the disconnect people have with one another in todays society. Lots of people sitting around in public mindlessly staring at their phone instead of being present in their surroundings. Well hopefully on the 2nd leg the ten club will let the "less evolved join in".

    Shecky, I mixed you and JM up. Apology was meant for you. I got distracted with a work email.

    Discuss, disagree and debate politely. It's possible to disagree with people without being abusive, and it's a requirement here. Please see the Posting Guidelines. Thank you
