| To: The Ten Club; Seattle, WA Hi, I've been a Ten Club member for a few years now, and I love the club and what you do with tickets and merchandise. As a resident of Georgia, I was disappointed to learn that Pearl Jam has decided to end its "World" Tour with a second show in Honolulu. While yes, they have covered an extensive part of the world in the past year and a half (much of the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, South America), they have left a few large holes, primarily in the Southeastern United States. In March, I eagerly resubscribed to the Ten Club in anticipation of buying several tickets to southern shows and planning a summer road trip before my sophomore year of college began. After the first leg was announced, I decided not to buy tickets, thinking "Surely Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, or some other city will be added to Leg Two." Unfortunately, that day never came. Another US leg, a European leg, an Australian leg, and finally two shows in Hawaii were announced, along with the "End of Pearl Jam's 2006 World Tour." I read Stone state on an internet chat about carbon emissions that the band was having issues because they cannot sell out the South. Several shows did not sell out on this tour, including shows at the LA Forum, parts of the three night stand in San Francisco, and several European shows. I am not mad at the band, the Ten Club, or even the event planners. I am not as cynical as some of my fellow southern Pearl Jam fans who believe that Pearl Jam is skipping the South because it voted for Bush in 2004. I simply think that someone, somehow, should explain why a large part of the US was left off a world tour in which Honolulu, a city of less than 400,000 people, got two shows. And why wasn't this information available before many of us "made sure to re-up our 10C memberships" before the dates were announced? I would love to be able to see my favorite band, with 10C seats, and hear songs from the new album, which I believe is one of their best. But above all, I'd like to know why they felt that the South (and also the United Kingdom, who also did not receive a proper tour) somehow does not belong on a world tour. Always a fan, Matt Berry |
