Several hours for EACH transaction? This could take months!

I think they should just get out of running the fanclub ticketing altogether, let Ticketmaster (or whoever) handle it but allow members to have first shot at the tickets using a code, etc.

From memory, that was the approach they used for the 2011 Canadian shows and it seemed to work out fine.

Itd make life a lot easier for them for sure. Sounds like a good idea.
I've always wondered, are there bigger arenas in the US that PJ could play? Without hitting stadiums?

I suppose ampitheatres. Ampitheatres run the gamut from probably 15,000-45,000.

Like shoreline and the gorge, right?
No idea what the capacity was but I saw Pj in shoreline once and it was feckin huge but ideas awesome.

Couldn't wrap my head around the fact that the GA was at the back.
First time I ever saw that and of made no sense to me. It's the reverse everywhere in Europe. But I can see the logic now ($$$$$$$ for nice seats up front)

Got em for Worcester

Standing room.

You got off lightly. The one in England is called Worcestershire.
Pronounced Wusstershir.

They invented the language but they never knew how to use it:)

I find it amazing I now agree w/ almost everything you post re: Pearl Jam these days.

Yeah. They've done a pretty decent amount of ampitheatres, especially in 98, 00, 03, 06, and 10. The problem is the range in quality between ampitheatres is immense. Some are quite lovely, some are absolutely horrendous. Major areans in the US at this point tend to be extremely similar in sound quality/sight lines.

I imagine this is the future for tenclub:

I only truly love a handful of bands but I'd happily pay that for that package with any of them. That sounds cool.

They've already started offering some of that stuff, haven't they? Crowd-free merchandise shopping, Gift bags, Early entrance...

Yeah right, like Ed or Stone would ever do a meet and greet with fans, and Jeff is debatable.

i think the meet and greet and photo would last about 10 seconds, everything else but the ticket and open bar is fluff.

its not like they're gonna sit down and drink a beer with you, its more like: "nice to meet you", maybe shake hands, "stand here say cheese", gtfoh, next!
