Your math makes no sense.

I'm 43. 2 of my dearest friends met through PJ span my age on either side. 1 is 24 the other 60-something (can't remember bc age seems so irrelevant to our relationship). My daughter is 17 and has become a devoted fan herself. It's beautiful how pj reaches out to so many people at different places in life but brings us all together in that one magical moment.

If you turned this into a poll would it give a % of age demos if the selections were teens, 20's, 30's etc?

I'm 31. I knew of their music as a kid, but only became obsessed in 98 or so, just before starting high school, when I was old enough to make up my mind about what I actually liked (as opposed to being influenced by other people's musical taste).
I'm 36, became a fan when I first heard the Ten album. First CD I bought was Ten and still have that copy today.

The big 50. Was listening to Mother Love Bone in my early 20's. Crushed when Andy died that I never had the chance to see them live. Took a while for Ed's vocal style to grow on me but that all changed after seeing PJ for the 1st time in 92.

Sweet spot is 36-42, mu guess 35-40% of fan base. Early teenage angers/highscoolers when ten came out. I'm in this group, we are the faithfull.
This is a very good opinion. I know when I go to concerts I see ages of all kinds I just can't remember what the majority of the age appeared to be. The same with picking up your tickets at the window it is a mix. In general I agree that the faithfull are the ones that were in highschool when ten came out and are a huge base at concerts.

"The faithfull"...jeesh. Sorry but that's silly.
See shetellsherself's posts a few above. She said it perfectly.
58 First concert was Emerson , Lake and Palmer 1972 New Haven CT . First PJ show was Montreal 2011. Saw U 2 for 6 bucks in 81. I attended 14 shows this year PJ x 4 TOTD x2 ELO , Boz Scaggs , Robin Trower , Bad Co, Joe Walsh , Sting and Peter Gabriel , Janes Addiction , Tony Bennett 90th Birthday at Radio City with Gaga /Stevie Wonder, Bocellii etc. on NBC Dec 20 After TOTD in Philly I get back to the hotel and walk by the Piano bar. It looks dead about 8 people. I take a closer look and thought I was hallucinating Stevie Wonder was performing. Watched him for an hour. It was like he was in my living room.
I hope next year is also a good year for concerts. So far only Roger Waters in Boston is on my radar.

I saw roger waters do the Wall in 2012. It was a great show, but I felt as if there was a lot of pre-recorded vocals. David Gilmour this year was mind blowing on the other hand!
I saw that tour also at Fenway. II wish I went to Gilmour at Radio City, Credit card is maxed right now. Seems like every show costs $1000 -$2000 with Scalper ticket , travel cost , hotel , meals, merch and misc.
