In seattle, fan club tix have been shit. I had a friend who got better seats through the general public sale on ticketmaster than I got through 10c with a #158xxx
That's similar to my number, and at the 09 shows I got great seats both nights. I don't think they have a consistent system, though. Because then in Charlotte I got shitty seats.
didnt they change the system btw 09 & 13?
Yeah 09 didn't have the GA

When seniority mattered the fan club was worth it. I’d get no further from 5th row and was first row 4 times. This was also 98-2006. Mostly prime Pearl Jam
Now? Eh. I don’t know why I’m in it. I’m digital and why? Phatj is right. Most of the singles they put out are just love versions of shit we have easy access to.
I do like having the option of buying vault vinyl ( I think that’s to members only?), and I usually still get tickets to the shows I want to see which means I get to watch Pearl Jam somewhat close and with other fans. I’ve found the shows to be less exciting if I’m with non fan club members due to less interest/excitement and more chit chatter that comes with arena shows. I don’t like arena shows much these days.
Ultimately it’s $20 I don’t even remember spending so whatever

Seriously. I wonder if they'll refund part of my membership fee if I ask? Instead, they'll take offense to it, bump my 10C member # to 1,000,xxx, and send me an old "I'm Analog" shirt from three years ago.
Stop giving them your money.
Help me, Pete
Give me your pearljam.com credentials.
Dudes, it’s far past time to give up the membership. You won’t miss it. It’s been a few years now since I didn’t renew and I haven’t missed it for a second. I had a decently low membership number too because I joined when I was like 15 or something. Actually I can’t recall a time when having a low membership number helped me for any reason other than idiotic bragging rights. Cut the cord!
I used to know someone who joined right when Ten came out so his number was in the hundreds.
I was a member for a time but got married and needed other outlets for money. Now that I'm older and wiser I just download the singles from the Internet and that's it. No need for anything else.

The last time I got tickets for a show I was surrounded by bro douchebags who were presumably in the fan club. That didn't help me keep my membership current. The next time they came through the concert was on my anniversary so I didn't go.

This ain't true
I can think of no better way to spend my money as there is no place I would rather be.

if strat drops a $20 it's not worth his time to stop and pick it up.

I don’t mind spending $20 a year.
While I don’t always win the lotteries I still get great seats when I do
5th row at Fenway was pretty special

I'm still a ten club member. I don't think Pearl Jam the band really knows how fan club members are being treated by certainly troops of the zombie apocalypse that is the royal fucking ten club and fuck them too.
Does anybody have Jeff Ament's current phone number so that I can call and tell him what really is going in.I mean on
