quick, somebody tell me all about what the 10C does for us, other than dick us around and treat us like crap.

thats right, 20 bucks a year for the last 10 years for not afucking thing other than the opportunity to get crashed out of their website for MSG tix, really the only thing this assanine "Fan club" is even remotely needed for

oh but i WILL get some bullshit newsletter with a 5 sentance message from jeff about skateboarding and well, thats about it. how nice

as far as Im concerned, the entire ten club can kiss my ass. they are the most useless bunch in the world.

all of you jackasses are about to get one step closer at the next round of shows, cause in august when its time for me to renew, i just wont. Ill go to ticketmaster for my tickets. they may charge crazy fees, but they are professionals who know how to handle ticket sales.

peace

Well first off the 10C has NOT been $20 for the last ten years... they just recently went up to $20. It was $15 before that and probably even cheaper before that... but as you know everything goes up so it's to be expected...

Secondly, the you are mistaken, it's quite the opposite... the 10C is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Where else can I get prime location concert tickets for between $70-80 a ticket, get them before everyone else, be entered into a lottery for rows 1-2 and 9-10, and have it based on seniority? Last time I checked you don't get that anywhere else... I hate to say it but you my friend are a douche.

I got tickets to VA Beach, Camden, Washington DC, MSG1 and MSG2. The first three were pretty easy to get, MSG 1 and 2 were tricky but with a lot of patience I made it through... it took me almost 45 minutes to finally get my tickets for MSG2.

Excellent point jimed14! After the Ed solo shows went on sale, I pointed out a similiar thing to another member who complained that it is stupid for people to want to go to multiple shows on a tour. In his signature were 3 shows from a tour within a week of each other! You would think people who would make these idiotic claims would at least delete their signature. But then I guess they would be too smart to say what they are saying.

I seriously am at a loss for how anyone can feel sorry for anything Pearl Jam related when someone went to the Letterman after show.

Well said quickdex.

You think of things they way I do. When I tried to get ed solo tickets I decided I would sit there as long as it took to get them. It took me a couple of hours but I just kept at it, I didn't come here and bitched after 30 minutes about how I couldn't get tickets. I used what the 10 Club offers ie a CHANCE to get the best tickets to my advantage.

Exactly! All the time spend moaning and groaning is time that could be spent trying to get tickets! It is completely possible to get tickets to shows from the kind folk on this board, I've sold extra tickets for less than face value to other members looking and have had the favor returned to me once or twice!

jubilairesjl · March 2008

I think the ticket prices are fair and are expected to be that much. At least we dont have to spend $400 dollars a ticket like some people. $72 is still a pretty good deal.

nikita_02445 · March 2008

heck 45 mins is nothng!
my friend in Austin and I ( and tons of other people) both spent about 6 hours (!!!) trying to get tix to London last year. I think they went on sale in the afternoon here, London is what 6 hours ahead,so they started on sale about 7pm there, so they were up after midnight trying to get tix...now that's a CF if there ever was one.
We did both eventually get tix - and you know that was for GA on the floor. I'm 5'4 and I don't even like GA with all these 5'10" morons trying to climb over me (I thought the London guys were not particularly nice compared to US guys). The only bonus was that one of the picks that Mike threw out went down my shirt and into the bag I had tied to my waist!!! Can you believe that - there were about 1/2 a dozen guys who wanted to dive right downt here after it!! HAHAHA

This system is bullshit. It's a crapshoot. It doesn't have to be. The old system of sending in your form and your check for your tickets at least guaranteed you got tix. Now it's all based on factors out of your control - bandwitdth, tenclub server capacity, etc. If the fanclub can't figure out how to sell tix online fairly then go back to snail mail. How is this helping fans. I've paid my dues and hung in there for years and love the band but I can't cancel meetings and sit at work hitting reload for an hour! It's unproductive and very frustrating. We deserve better than this. Member 179752 aka Dawn

There are still tix available for many shows - Hartford, Columbia, Virginia Beach, and the 2 Flroida shows. Stop your whining and pack your bags. You have more than enough chances to score fan club tix to several shows. I don't see the problem. PJ would need to secure about 50% of the available seats at MSG to ensure all fans got tix. Not gonna happen.

...and there are a lot more evils and wrongs in the world than ticketmaster.

...or you could just pay the extra $5 and get them from ticketmaster.

honestly back in the day all pearl jam's fans were 15 year olds, now we are grown ups.

Now that the mansfeild show went off without a hitch and there are still Hartford tix available, this thread does not make as much sence.

That's the other good point. Since you have to buy two tickets, there are always people who have an extra. I had an extra for Berkeley 1 Ed solo that I am going to sell to someone on here.
