Its really disappointing that fans refuse to buy tickets because of a small increase. Pearl Jam has worked tirelessly for their fans and deserves to be compensated
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

Please keep these arguments in the ticket prices threads. The last thing we need is yet another ticket argument/ass kissing

you cannot be serious about this post. there is no way in hell.
maybe people aren't refusing to buy them but instead CAN'T AFFORD THEM!!!
it's not a small increase. tix in 2003 were $40. now they're $70. no big deal to me personally, but I bet it is to a lot of people.
and as for saying "they deserve to be compensated"........wow. you sound like a lawyer in one of those "Have you or anybody you know ever been hurt in a car accident and feel you're entitled to money damages?" commercials.
no need for personal attacks, I merely gave my opinion on the question asked by the thread starter. I certainly believe the new ticket prices are appropriate and others are free to disagree, and thats fine by me. The mods do a great job of allowing us to express our opinions freely on this board and I will continue to do just that. In the end, those who attend the shows will overwhelmingly have a great time and those that choose not to will have their reasons.

Well..these shows probable don't have the same 10C impact. Not sure how they sold in the past (10c tix). Anyone know? As well, there aren't nearly as many fans that travel into these shows I suspect. But who knows. Really hard to believe that it would be ticket price, but who knows. These costs are near to the Canadian tour prices I think, and that was 3 years ago. As well, take the time to look at the costs for all the artists out there, and you'll see that it isn't that bad. Anways..sorry..this belongs in another thread, so I digress.
From the other posts here these last few days it seems that several members have let their membership lapse and there are less active ten club members than there were during the last US tour, no?

I'm pretty sure that the policy allowing a small grace period, instead of an indefinite one has made an impact. I know of a few people here locally that had it happen after the Canadian tour, and they thought they could always get their number back. And now they are in the 400XXX block or out of luck period because they let it lapse.
I learned my lesson back in the day. I had a 123 or 124XXX number and let it lapse and then couldn't locate any documentation with my old number on it, so when they moved to their present system, it wasn't on record. So I lost it and now sit with a 324XXX number. Tis sad, but well earned! hahah
People simply refuse to believe that these are HUGE venues, and 10 C has plenty of tix, and also, makes the best effor to get tix to members even when they dont have tix....
I said all along these will be easier to get.....people dont listen.
for the 05 and 06 tours, the tickets lasted a few days each, with the exception of a couple of shows.
Remember, these are fan club tickets.....only fan club members can purchase.
These are not VIC tickets or Ed solo tours where only a few hundred are available.

also, the venues that went on sale today are not the strongest Pearl Jam Markets. A better gauge of interest will be present when MSG goes on sale
Its not a good sign that they didnt sell out today though. Even the new Guns N Roses sells out MSG but their other shows are half full in the U.S. There simply more people in the NYC area therefore demand is higher, but if you ask me the true gauge of interest is the small markets.

isn't it normal for concerts not to sell out first day?
seems weird
maybe there just isn't much demand

Like someone else said, maybe SC & FL aren't the biggest PJ markets.
My bad. Likely there are more TC tix available compared to 06'.
thats the fucking truth.....
the day they finally put that thread to death....
im gonna do 143 fucking backflips..........
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
that would make sense too.
well then we are talking about fan club members not fan club tix, right?

Edit: I did say tix...you're confusing me.

i didn't truly believe that until now.
maybe why tickets are higher too is because they know they won't sell. and they need their money.
all about the buck buck buck! *easter bunny*
