10 club - Poor Announcement to members

FL tickets are still available so what tickets are you missing out on?
The ones that go on sale tomorrow? People dont check their email the Monday after Easter either?

It's always something isn't it.... :rolleyes:

I saw one person complaining about the short notice in 1 post, and I was scrolling away and noticed them bithching about the club not putting more dates out later in the summer so they could decide on travel.
Make up your mind, quick notice or delayed.
In reality people should go to their shows in their local region, anything else should be a bonus, nothing to get vindictive over. Now I usually come on here alot around the tours, and honestly have never witnessed a person getting shut out in their hometown.
That would suck, and be worthy of bitching.
Everything else really warrants not much bitching.
As far as prices 75 is high, but not by much, I ballanced 80 a show hoping for 70. So they were close.
I am sure lawn seats are cheraper but fuck that.

Anyone complaining about the timing of emails and post on the message boards needs to take a moment to realize that presale tickets of prime seating to Pearl Jam concerts is a luxory and privilege that us 10c members enjoy (not a right) . If I cannot afford to check the message board or my email regularly, then I can join most other concert-goers and purchase tickets through ticketmaster on the scheduled onsale date.

I can image that the band and the fan club get their share of push back from venues, promoters, etc. for reserving/allocating these seats for their most die hard fans time after time. Thank you 10c. Thank you Pearl Jam.

Gee if you're not getting emails from an organization you're paying to be a part of you would think, I mean LOGICALLY here, that you would contact said organization and iron out the problem with them instead of coming to a message board and bitching about it...

kind of funny for someone who posts aprox 7 times a day to insult people being on here so much.

but i do like how you :roll your eyes:, makes me feel warm. violated... but warm.

Again, please read and point out where I insulted anyone...

Yep, it's kinda sad how most people on here think that most people in the fan club are on the board everyday.

Most of my pearl jam friends who are fan club members never check the boards and depend on emails for updates.

Most people don't have time to sit on a message board all day.

Luckily I do.

Yep same here... although I find myself staying away from this board more and more everyday..... I wonder why???

Actually if you didn't come to the boards, you'd have no idea that an announcement was emminent. And an email or a look at pearljam.com would be your only source of info about the band..... ohhh but I forgot every 10C member reads this Message Board religiously ::rolls eyes::

I am just hoping the Hartford tix are gonna be as easy to get as Fla.

I don't have the patience to read through the whole thread, but this is another pointless bitch post. People like you also blame the 10C when the emails go in your junk folder. They only announced on Thursday, and sent the initial one out then, and resent on Friday. What would have happened if they waited until today or tomorrow to send anything out? There'd be bitching that there wasn't enough notice. Egads the things we complain about.

maybe next tour they should personally contact each fan club member by telephone.....and NOT be permitted to leave a voicemail, but rather speak directly to the 10C member to ensure that he/she knows that a pre-sale is coming.

then we would get complaints of them charging too much for a phone call or the hours of the fan club calling among other things...

are you forgetting that there was the "tweet" heads up a week earlier? based on that i knew a tour was coming and i am by no means a genuis. people should check the pit once a day--like changing your underwear.

I'm pissed the 10 club didn't tap me on the shoulder in church on Sunday and tell me. Fucking bastards!

Dear 10 club,
Sending an email annoucing tour information on "Good Friday" for tickets is in poor taste. Many people in the US who work may have family obligations to the holiday weekend and not check their emails. This was way too short of an announcement. I bet a lot of people will miss out on tickets because of this short notice. Why is there a rush to sell the tickets? Afterall, prices were not even listed to day of the sale. I'd say hold the sales until you get ALL the information. This includes knowing the dates on the entire tour. Not just a leg.
Thanks
John

Holiday Weekend... WTF... I had to work. as did most of the rest of the country.
