You should have received an email with this information because you ordered fan club tickets to one, or both, of the Pearl Jam shows on July 8th and 9th. Because of the large number of you who will be attending these shows, we've decided to set up our ticket pick-up a little differently. NOTE: If you did not receive this in email AND you've ordered fan club tickets to Madison Square Garden, please contact tickets@tenclub.net. All fan club tickets will be picked up OFF SITE ONLY at the Southgate Tower Hotel (across from the Garden) on any one of the following three days: Monday, July 7 between 11 AM and 7 PM. Tuesday, July 8 between 2PM and 7PM Wednesday: July 9 between 2 PM and 7PM The Southgate Tower Hotel is located at 371 7th Avenue -that's 7th Ave at 31rst St-right across from Madison Square Garden. We will be using the 31rst St. entrance of the hotel and we'll cue up towards the East (away from 7th Ave and the Garden). The management and employees at the Southgate are very cool, and we expect you to treat them and their guests with respect and dignity. (Two of your best traits!) Please don't call the hotel with questions. Everything you need to know will be outlined here. (You may want to call their reservation line, however to book a room in their fine hotel!) As usual, you need to bring your photo ID and your confirmation number in order to pick up your tickets. Ten Club tickets to these shows will be PRE-DETERMINED. It will not be first-come, first-serve within your ticket block, but instead, your seats will be prioritized according to your seniority in the club. In order to expedite the process, the ticket "windows" at the hotel will be arranged by last name, not member number. (But again, pre-determined by your member number) If you have tickets for both nights, you will get both pair when you come to pick up tickets. Remember, it is against Ten Club policy to re-sell your fan club tickets. Of course you can sell your "+1" at face value, but the tickets are for you. If we find that you are selling your pair of tickets, or are selling your extra ticket for above face-value, you will lose all future fan club privileges. PICK UP TICKETS EARLY Because the fan club tickets are pre-determined, it won't be necessary to cue up to get the best seats, but remember, if everyone shows up to the hotel just prior to the shows to pick up their tickets, we won't be able to get everyone in before the band goes on. So PLEASE, show up at the beginning of the day. Or, show up on June 7th! I know a lot of you will be hanging out in the city on Monday. You might as well come by and pick up your tickets, and check out the Garden while you're at it. I stress once again the importance of being there early. Let's work together on this, and make it a memorable week!
