8:35 pm cst - Latest ticket news..

05/24 - Alpine Ticket Onsale Update/Canada Pre-sale Postponement

ALPINE ONSALE UPDATE
Our IT brains are still working diligently to rectify the Alpine ticketing situation.
There are currently some people who already had items in their carts and who are able to continue the checkout process, very slowly.

Here’s what we’re going to do:

– Those who were already in the check-out process, stick with us and we’re going to try to process your order.
– Those who aren’t already, give it a rest tonight so we can get those who are officially in the middle of the check-out process checked out and work on the site.
– We are going to close the store tonight to ANY NEW TICKET ORDERS in order to work on the system for tomorrow.
– At 8am PT tomorrow morning, we will post on the Ten Club “news” section information regarding when the Alpine ticket sale will resume.
– If it’s still not working at 8am PT, we will say that.
– If it’s working at 8am PT, we’ll provide a time for when the onsale will resume, which be AT LEAST TWO HOURS later, so that everyone has time to prepare.
–The good news is, there are PLENTY of tickets still available.

CANADA ON-SALE POSTPONED TO WEDNESDAY
Due to the problems surrounding today’s Alpine pre-sale, the Ten Club is going to postpone the Canada Pre-sale to
Wednesday May 25th (during the same hours as previously scheduled) to help ensure all systems are up and running smoothly.

Once again, we’re really sorry this happened and will do everything we can to fix it as soon as possible.

Goods Section is down for now.... Updated May 23 @ 8:50pcst




I don't have my tickets yet but I hope I will... Keep trying!!!

The store is temporarily offline. We will have it up again shortly. Thank you for your patience.

PJ20 Festival announcement this upcoming week


Seems like that "birdie" showed up again on the Ten Club forum yesterday. Here's what he said....
Tweet (gasp) Tweet

The little birdie fluttered and landed with great force on our picnic blanket.

"Where have you been and what's with the backpack?" we inquired.

"I've been so busy making plans, trying to get everything ready for a special weekend. And do you know how hard it is to fly with a pack on my back?" the birdie said.

"Ah…a special destination weekend perhaps?" we said.

The little birdie exclaimed, "Well, of course! Have you been living in a valley? Just make sure your memberships are up to date by midnight Sunday (Pacific Time) or you'll be sorry."

"Ok, little birdie, thank you for the heads-up. We appreciate it. Where are you going next, birdie?" we said.

"To the great white North!”


So what does this mean???? Well, here's what I think...

1. It's a "special weekend" so at least two days...

2. "Have you been living in a valley?" - "Valley" referring to Alpine Valley, perhaps??

3. Where was he headed..."to the Great White North" which means Canada. It tells me that they will do some shows in Canada first before doing the festival. Looks like there may be some shows in August then.

Did you get the same things outta this message that I did???!!!

More importantly.... does everyone have a travel buddy????

Getting ready for PJ20 Festival...are you?


Hello, Jammers,

Just wanted to update you on how things are going. I have my ear to the ground and trying to confirm what all my sources on when and where the PJ 20 festival will be. The majority of people I am speaking with and what is churning in the Rumor Mill, is that it'll be happening Labor Day Weekend (Sat. and Sun.)in East Troy, WI at Alpine Valley Amphitheater. So I have taken the liberty to book rooms for that weekend in a nearby town, just in case. My airfare will not be purchased until I know for sure. And tickets will be bought when Ten Club sells them.

On the podcast side, I have decided that doing a VIDEO cast from the event may be possible through my phone but I will have to do some tests and see if it's the way to go. The software I want to use will allow me to post a live stream on my blog site and Facebook page. If I don't think it will work, I will go back to the live podcast.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please email them or send me a message thru Facebook page and I will look them over and see if they are something we can add to the experience.

10 Club members get second chance for tickets


Looks like 10 Club is true to their word and giving people who missed out on tickets to Eddie's solo US tour another chance today only. Read below. NOTE: Passwords and links have been removed to allow those who are 10 club members a great chance to get them. This post is for informational proposes only.


Hello 10club members:

In an effort to provide more tickets to members who were unable to secure Ten Club pre-sale tickets for Edie Vedder's 2011 US solo tour, the public ticketing vendors have agreed to do another pre-sale for our members at 10am your local time on Thursday March, 31.

This pre-sale will be conducted through the venues public ticket vendor, not the Ten Club, and the seats will not be allocated by seniority, but will be first come, first serve - while supplies last. Ticket sales are limited.

Please note: each venue has it's own ticket link and may have a slight variation on the password. Please pay close attention to any notes about the password as they will vary slightly from show to show.


Now for the very important part ... DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THE PASSWORD, or you will increase the risk of non-members obtaining these tickets. And please ... if you have already purchased tickets through the Ten Club for these shows, allow the not-so-lucky members to have the opportunity.

Ticket sales are subject to processing fees by the vendor. All ticket sales are final. Tickets are not for re-sale.

Since the Ten Club has no possession of these tickets, all questions about ticket orders must be directed to the public ticket vendor's customer service department.

Good luck!
10club



I hope everyone gets their tickets. Good Luck!!!

The next interview with a fan is....


Hey Jammers:

I just wanted to update the information I recently posted about having a guest on the podcast that "ALL Pearl Jam fans would know". Well, I have confirmed that I will be doing an interview with none other than the host of Pearl Jam radio and co-host of The All Encompassing Trip weekly roundtable show on Sirius XM radio, Rob "The Rob" Bleetstein.

I will be doing the interview at the end of the month due scheduling conflicts between the two of us, but that works out for you, the listener. This allows you to send in your questions for Rob and I will try to fit in all the questions I can. So start thinking of what you like to ask "The Rob" and send them to me at: mario@giventocast.net

BTW, the next podcast will be up on Monday.

Hey Fellow Jammers,

It's getting pretty interesting on the PJ News front. Let's review:

1. The PJ20 festival..When??? Where???

2. The Pearl Jam book that was suppose to accompany the movie in its release date. The book will available for purchase on Sept. 13, 2011, according to Amazon.com . Does that mean the movie should be released around the same time??!!!

3. Looks like Ed will release his 2nd solo album in May. I hope it as great as the first one.

I will discuss these and other topics, play some sweet Pearl Jam tunes and maybe have a surprise or two... Stay tuned...
