Are people getting tickets? I haven't seen them in almost 15 years. But I moved to Minneapolis last year and I still pay my 10C membership, so when they announced they were playing in St. Paul, I thought I'd throw my name in the hat. I scored a pair of GA floor tickets for the Thursday night show. I'm pretty excited.
How do you fuck this up after touring your whole adult life?
Most people are in 10c solely for the ticket chance. They took away the vinyl. They took away the printed DEEP mag. They took away the t-shirt. Now there's one tier of membership, yet they can't even handle a ticket lottery without a major fuck up.
I got Indy tickets with hopes that I’d get a better show than the last time I went. I’d like to go out on a high note.
We picked Indy as our first priority because it's a single show, whereas all the other cities have two nights. I put St. Paul as 2nd priority, but was denied. (Husband was denied both shows as well)
WTAF is that? That will screw over some people who are near their max limit on their cards.
Sucks they are doing this. People out there have defective vinyl they couldn’t replace because they were “sold out”.
Yup, total money grab. I'd expect some will buy just to flip at inflated prices. Thankfully, I've always pre-ordered at cost (which has increased with each subsequent release) Ten Club used to be the premier fan club that other bands based theirs on. Now they're just a corporation, or more accurately, an LLC
100% agree on both points. I've got no illusion about 10c and the way its run at this point.
It's been sad and frustrating to watch the band that used to try and emulate the Fugazi business model morph into a corporation. Having said that, I still ponied up for one of these cause I guess I'm a sucker. I've already got the majority of them, so chances are I'll get a duplicate in which case I'll offer it up at cost here if anyone has interest. Or trade if someone else happens to get a duplicate.
My husband feels pretty much the same as you. I still want to see them live, we have St. Paul & Indy tickets, but won't be able to make three trips to the midwest as there is no way I'm skipping The National's Homecoming in Cincy which is also in Sept.
I had Indy tickets. Sold em. After getting moved so many times, they were by far and away the worst 10c seats I’ve ever had. Been in 10c since 98 and had the back of the pavilion.

But, I will say, we were chilling in the back yard over the weekend and put on a PJ boot, and he still does love them, he just hates their greed. I want to see them in Indy (Noblesville) since it's a one off and every other city gets two nights. It is so frustrating to see a fave band that once stood up to the man actually become the man.
. I’m cancelling 10c after this year too. They haven’t played a show in my home state in 10 years.
That whole moving seats debacle was a clusterfuck. We both put in for St Paul & Indy, thinking Indy would be difficult. I won both shows, he was denied both. Fine, we had a pair for two shows we wanted. Then they re-did the drawing and suddenly, he won both shows, too, and my seats were moved to a crap location. Then, they re-did it again and I moved back to where I originally was seated (for Indy) and his seats got even worse. (I have a far lower number than him - we both joined at the same time but he let his lapse multiple times)I had Indy tickets. Sold em.

They should be, but they got paid so they don’t care.
