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

I never thought about that. With Fan2Fan you can access 10c tickets without being a member. That throws a new wrinkle into things.

As an analog member I think this is very rough for digital folks… they should just stop offering the digital memberships and “grandfather” the active digital membership

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.

What’s your point? Because it’s a nonessential item people should just suck it up? I’m saying it’s a bad gesture on the part of millionaires to jack the price of this when essential items are escalating on people.

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.

Please God I hope not.

Can't even give us a FLAC download? It's not 2005 anymore. It's ridiculous that there's a premium on lossless in the first place.

The merch discount is going to be insignificant, especially with exorbitant international shipping.

Basically paying $35usd now for a shot at tickets once a decade. At least I could look forward to a shitty t-shirt once a year. Hopefully get one more show and then I can cancel for good.

I would renew no matter what, $35 to support the band I love and their foundation is A-OK with me.

Don’t you think, they would highlight a yearly vault for members, if they wanted to continue the series?

Yeah basically, for something as nonessential as this, either pay or walk away.

I don't have much emotional attachment to this one.

Really interested in these three bullets:

Membership Items (NEW) -Specially priced members-only annual merchandise items
Exclusive Merchandise - Access to limited edition posters, vinyl, shirts, and all kinds of goodies only available to Ten Club members.
Merchandise Discount Events -Discounts and exclusive offers in the Pearl Jam shop

Curious what more things they will have for collectors. I’m really only into the vinyl and posters of shows I attend, but maybe some other stuff would be appealing.

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.

My renewal is this week so I'm guessing I pay the old price. Will see what kind of perks there are in 2023. Regarding the Vault, the UK/EU store doesn't require you to be a member to purchase.

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

Agreed. And most, if not all of the ‘contests’ we can ‘enter’ are US only anyway!

I get that. It’s still a lump of coal IMO. Cheers

I dig this. I switched to digital a few years back. I don’t mind the increase & getting a bootleg. I usually buy at least one a year anyway, so now it’s just one transaction.

You already got a bootleg code for a free download as a digital member. They are on your account page if you haven’t used them.

This is fine. My membership increases $15 in price, but I get $10 to use when buying boots. Everything is all good as long as they keep touring and playing shows.

For those of us who don't buy more stuff and don't do downloads is simply another case of high inflation and the only choice is to pay up or quit.
Hmmm. Maybe time to say adios.
This sucks.

Do it. I fully support members with lower numbers than mine leaving over 4 extra cents a day.

What ist going on for 2023?
Does everybody get a payrise of 75%?

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.

😂🤣🤪 it’s an extra 4 cents a day. If you can’t come up with $15 extra a year, let me know and I’ll help you set up a go fund me.

Clutch those pearls. It’s an extra 4 cents a day. If you can’t afford it, I already know there’s no way you’re buying the concert tickets which is the main benefit that if they had be the ONLY benefit from the start and charged $100 a year and just dropped it to $95 you’d be all in.

You are missing the point.

As a fellow Aussie member I couldn't agree more - the early pre-sale tickets are not much of a bonus anymore as it has been too long between shows and if you are a member of the promotion company or ticket vendors then you usually can have access to pre-sale tickets anyway.

What with the exchange rate I was already struggling to justify $55 a year for basically a t-shirt which BTW I do love. Now I will have to pay extra for the shirt plus shipping on top of the $55 membership. With the increased cost of living we are all experiencing this will reluctantly leave me with the decision of whether to renew my membership or not which is quite disappointing.
