Everyday there a more Bad News,all the costs going up,but the wages remain nearly the same.

ComeToTX · December 2022

No issues here. I only have it for tickets anyway.

Greg354xxx · December 2022

As an Australian fan who originally joined for a) the seniority based perks for tickets and b) the now discontinued annual vinyl - given we've had just 3 headline tours here in the last 20 years, it's hard to justify staying. 35USD = approx 51AUD today

This is a 75% increase for most people at a time when a lot of folks are struggling. I’m likely to keep it anyway but it’s a pretty tone deaf move.

Maybe if this was gas/food/utility/medicine.

But a fanclub membership? Cmon.

Finding $35 a bit much for what I get out of it personally since I've never used 10c for tickets and didn't use half of the download codes I got previously. Happy with the $5 for the Vitalogy Foundation, would maybe even like to see more go to it. The fanclub 7 is the main thing that kept me subscribing each year. I'll still pay though as you never know what exclusive vinyl might be released.

Love to be member of 10c..i would renew my membership always..the band and the fans gave more than membership cost all those years
also,the main benefit isstill there.10c tickets..which is the best..rest are just stuff
Thanks Sea

I agree. I had so much fun on this last tour and that would not have happened without 10C.

Previously did we only ever get bootleg codes as Analog members?

for international analog members actually is more the cost .
Cos let's say u buy a membership item shirt for special price of 15 dollars. That means 35 membership +15 shirt.. This is 50 as u paid before with no deep magazine and single vinyl.. Now add to that to international. Shipping for the shirt..another 15$?total 65.
So for the same thing with out deep. Magazine u will pay 15$ more(plus more taxes cos the shirt isnt for free anymore )

This.
I liked the shirts but not sure if I would pay extra for them plus shipping.

yes..we always got code

Zod · December 2022

I mean, Metallica basically gives me the same thing for free. I realize 10c isn't free to run, but $35 for a shot at tickets at a show by you ever handful of years.. seems kind of steep.

I stopped doing analog because I didn't really use the shirts, and I don't really use the bootleg codes (Because they try charge a premium for flac), and I usually just buy the shows I went to on CD.

I'll keep my membership going as ticket access is a pretty solid benefit, but $35 for a digital member for presale tickets, and the right to spend more money on merch.. I dunno, it's an odd move. Makes it feel more like other fan clubs where you pay $40 or $50 just for access to presale tickets.

At a minimum it would be nice if the 10c made the bootleg code work for all digital formats instead of the lowest quality.

Does everybody get a payrise of 75%?

No sh*t! I sure as hell did not get a 75% increase in my income this year.

The timing on this sucks, the increase is only attractive (maybe) to people here who like to buy lots of stuff, and last I heard, this band is not in the poor house.

I love the fans here, admire the fine work of the mods and admin, but really question this move. Maybe time for me to move on. And that sucks big-time too.

If they brainstormed ideas, I'd be stunned if no one at least suggested restricting the ticket benefit into a higher premium level of membership. I'm glad they didn't go down that road.

Yeah I don’t mind this change! How much would you be willing to pay for a premium level membership? And would that guarantee tickets ?

Weston1283 · December 2022

Tbh, if the cost increase is too much for anyone, and you're only in it for the tickets, I would drop it no questions asked. With how many tickets come available on Fan 2 Fan within a week of show, you'll probably end up with better seats than you would have gotten with your number anyway. The only exception is MSG, and 10c odds are usually at like 3% anyway.

The last 10C Destination event was 11 years ago (PJ20) and theres no signs of there ever being a show worth having 10c FOMO again

This...just stash away what you would consider a fair membership price year-to-year and then use it on the secondary market when they tour.

Well you're getting a bootleg with it which has a market value of $10 which puts the membership allocation at $25.

Then membership fees haven't increased since 2011.

$20 in 2011 is worth $26.50 today. So in comparison you're saving $1.50 on the deal.

There's also a $5 donation to Vitalogy.

$35 minus $10 minus $5 =

$20.

My wife and I already tithe our income to social and environmental organizations that we carefully scrutinize to insure as best as possible that our dollars are doing the most they can to make a difference i this world. I don't need a rock band site to make that kind of decision for me.

allstar340 · December 2022

This sucks majorly. Ending the fan club singles was one thing. Fleecing people for more money just because you can while allowing Ticketmaster to scalp the actual best seats in the house at exorbitant prices is really really lame. Really don’t want to give up my seniority but hard to front more $ every year when I’m lacking any faith there is any one that actually cares about the fans left in the organization. PJ/10c seems to just be a money making business with no passion or commitment left in it (no more DEEP, no more fan club holiday single, shorter more homogenous set lists and tours, etc). Losing respect for this group more and more.

Spartanacus · December 2022

If there is any bright side to this for anyone, it is for those with December renewals as we'll get all the benefits for the same price for a year. Sucks most for those who auto renew in January. Now that I've moved from California to Florida though, I question if PJ will ever play another show here. The chances aren't good.

axeljohan · December 2022

I am surprised that they didn’t say anything about future vault results. They only talk about special priced merchandise.

I fear the vaults are dead, which makes the membership less valuable for me.
