Warranted or not... What a nice way for management to start off a tour:

These guys are busting their talented asses to provide posters for (mostly) grateful, art-loving Pearl Jam fans and the last thing we want is for them to have to read such sophomoric drivel from losers.

Have a nice.

tim has lost it all together

he called and cursed me out a while ago going so far as equating my middle eastern heritage as being "a terrorist"

then on wednesday when i went to the ticket window and my tickets were not there ... and waiting 20 minutes for them to "find my tickets" i was given tickets way back in section 7 row l.... so when i emailed them with my grievence....... I WAS KICKED OUT OF TEN CLUB

Yeah.... there is something wrong with that guy and the way fanclub is now being run

He has a damn good point though.
Alessiana made me think about this things. It's all public whatever you post on forums. And let's be honest here the 10C may not be perfect but some people get obnoxious with their remarks. I'm not surprised he feels that way. PJ's fan base is full of hard to please bitches.

Yeah, I get it too. In my job as a Business Analyst, I am often presenting my work to groups of 10-20 folks and the feedback on my work can sometimes really get to me. Having thousands of folks have a public sounding board to provide that feedback could be really tough.

However, that's part of his job and it's not going to change. He should probably start to think about whether he's the right person for the job.

i agree about pj fans being a pain in the ass to please. but at the same time this guy has the job he does b/c of these people. everyone needs to flip out from time to time i guess

I agree with all that. But if someone flipped out and called customers/clients assholes at a REAL job you could kiss your ass good bye.

It is just a classless thing to do. Get up and walk away for ten minutes.

I'm not ruling that out, at all :lol:

However this happened because of freaking poster designs it wasn't about the way the 10C is managed. Constructive criticism isn't really something you see often. Is either people bitching about stupid things or sucking up their asses. That's probably 80% of the criticism you'll see there.
Fan cubs are a weird business area.

Earmuffs, Ruby.

Yeah. Fans are losers, 10c are losers, tim's a loser, pearl jam are losers, the world is one big loser fest. Big deal. Fuck the lot of them. There are more important things in the world than some dickhead on a power trip.

Myeh, i kinda feel sorry for the guy.

yeah and it seems that about 10 years is about the shelf life for a job for that guy...he either gets fired or runs the business into the ground
.......and it has been 10 years at this job

too bad i got kicked out of 10C before the same thing happened here

I miss epic

the only thing that could run the 10 club into the ground is the band breaking up

So can we expect no posters next tour? I think Tim has to realize that the people lashing out about the posters represent a small percentage of the fan base. If he gets mad everytime some dude online disses the posters, he will not be alive long. Plus the band itself set the bar so high by putting out insanely good posters early on, Maybe it is time for brad to take over, but that will never happen as it is jeff's bro who makes em.

i like the posters , first of all

but tim got this job because he knew the ament bros, jeff & barry
so if he is defensive about that it is understandable .... they are his meal ticket

the words of hitchhiker come to mind
