Here's the current price of items on the Ten Club website:
45 (based on The Fixer): $6.99 Digital Bootleg: $9.99 T-shirt: $20
I'm switching to Analog with no fear.
Yeah, I don't find this unfair in the slightest.
I can imagine a lot of people will want to remain on the DIGITAL membership, so they'll probably save a bit in looking after those members. They could've easily just raised the price to $30 or so for a normal membership, so I appreciate they've given members increased choice at the same time rather than forcing everyone up. I think I'll likely stick with a DIGITAL membership, for what it's worth.

Yeah thats what I figured...instead of raising the price to 25 or 30 dollars all around they keep the price the same and cut ten clubs costs so they don't have to raise the price...I throw out Deep mags after they sit around too long anyway not to mention they're usually kinda lame...just give me my fan club tix and its worth the 20 bucks

GIven the fact the band tours about 5 weeks a year and plays to 10% of the fan base it seems kind of absurd paying $20 a year for the chance to get tickets...

I live in New England so that means 2-3 shows every year or so...So I'm within that 10%

I don't have any realistic expectation of seeing the band more than once every three years, but I was really glad I hadn't let my membership go when Ed announced his solo shows down here.

The 2010 US tour was announced like 3 days after I opened my 10C account. I came home from the bar hammered one night and decided to open a 10C account on a whim and I had tickets to a show within like a week and a half.

Yah, that's cause I'd pay $100 or even $500 for the right to buy great seats to a PJ show - even once every 3 years. Doesn't mean its a fair price to charge, however.

it's win win either way for 10C... either they have less work to do with mailing out newsletters and singles... or they're making a lot more money
Could 10C possibly work any LESS than they do already? Trust me, it ain't that hard to put out a newsletter a couple times a year.

Fuck this. I have to cough up DOUBLE to price of the membership to receive hard copies of Deep Magazine and the Holiday Single?
I understand 40 dollars isn't shit, especially over the span of a year, but still. Deep PDF? What the hell man? I collect them, they make nice coffee table books. Fuck this Ten Club, and don't even think about saying this is going "Green." This is going cheap.
Bottom line is, I just want what I've had for years, for the same price. You all can have additional stuff for the additional price, but don't take away anything.
It's a disease,... and they're all green It emminates from their being Agitation,.. with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves Stealing light from what's beneath Where they have more,... Still they take more

How many members of the ten club are there? Say if theres 50,000 and theres probably more than that paying 20 bucks a year thats 1 million dollars. That seems plenty enough money to put out 1 vinyl ep and 1 at least in the past couple years newsletter. This is total bullshit.

and this from the band who fought so hard to keep tickets prices affordable in the 90's and are now charging nearly 100$ a seat.
...I can't be bothered going deeper into the thread, I think you get the idea.

so my $20.00 gets me LESS that last year? That kind of sucks. I guess I'll have to upgrade and go back to selling ripped copies of their bootlegs at the local flea market.

mmhmmm
However, I do agree that charging the same price for less is a bit bushleague.
Is it really? I assume they're just trying to be more profitable or they're aiming to cover a rise in costs of running the fanclub, etc. It'll either work and people will generally go along with it or it won't and they'll have to wear it.
I can't imagine any of those Pit members frothing at the mouth will actually not renew and 10C knows it.

No shit, they're bitching about this on the very forum they pay to post at.
