Message to all Ten Club GA Standing Ticket Holders-

We are receiving complaints that members are continuing to use a list/ numbering system for reserving a spot in the early entry line and then leaving for hours. Additionally, we are hearing reports of fans designating sign up times and other such rules. These are by no means Ten Club rules. This is unacceptable and unfair to those fans that put their time and stay in line. We’ve tried very hard to ensure that our members are treated fairly and are very disappointed to hear of fans abusing each other in this way. If you leave the line, you must go to the end of the line regardless of what number, symbol, or word you may have written on your hand as this means nothing. The GA line is a first-come first-served line.

We have tried to warn Ten Club Members nicely about this, but unfortunately this abuse continues. Should we continue to hear these reports we will be forced to take further steps to prevent this from happening.

The following actions may be taken:

• Sending fans to the back of the line
• Revoking early access wristbands
• Revoking memberships
• No more early entry offered to the Ten Club

Ten Club and Pearl Jam Security considers this fan run list system null and void and we encourage all fans not to participate in it. Simply stay in line in the order you arrived. Otherwise you will be placed in the back of the line, lose your early entry privileges, or lose your membership entirely. We do not want to see any numbers on hands or any lists moving forward, so please take this warning seriously.

Best regards,
10c

It’s the same damn people too. Randomized entry groups assigned on your ticket is an easy solution.

i thought this was going to be about todays postergate / bribery fiasco.

[96583UP]

what is postergate / bribery fiasco

[CopperTom]

I've read different stories ranging from the simple - merch selling posters with no limits and fans buying 20 each; or 4 or 6 each, depending on the source. But another story said fans paid a security guard to get them merch. I'm unsure if security guard pocketed all the money or if was given some extra money for his trouble. Fans said it appeared several fans got merch, walked away, but the merch stand remained closed. A lot of folks upset.

good thing Ed is all about Fugazi and so doesn't sell merchandise tho

From a millionaires perspective, selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise at each show is no big deal.

No GA would be even better.

Nah. Nothing gets a better vibe going then cramming a bunch of 40-something white guys and their bored wife/college roommate/friend from work into a confined space after having them wait in line for hours.

So i just took a 6 hour train ride from Prague to Krakow.  The train was nearly entirely PJ fans.  Every negative stereotype was checked.

*Come to Brazil fans.
*Even Bros & Even Hoes.  They drank a ton, but were well behaved.
*If PJ was a ______ , what would each member be.  I remember hearing, "if PJ were fairytale characters, which character is Eddie."  There was a dispute over Mike.  This was my first encounter with this type of fans.  I thought these fans were a myth.  Wierd and creepy.
*Playing music so everyone can hear fans.
*Singing PJ in foreign tongues fans.
*Hypothetical changes to past concert fans.  Both song changes and Eddie comment changes.
*Retracking album fans.
*I made eye contact with ____ and did / did not make a connection fans.

And I had my headphones on for many hours too.  I am so happy I was in plain clothes and flew under everyone's radar for almost the entire ride.
