sooo ... if the band has gotten green disease and are bunch of sellouts - why the heck are you guys still going to shows and supporting these sell outs? ... it's a kin to me griping about walmart and how bad they are and still shopping there ... you want the band to have principles - maybe you should too?

Let's be clear, as with most things, there are more than just 2 sides to this discussion.

I believe Pearl Jam ticket prices have increased drastically and shows that they are no longer fighting to keep prices low for their fans.

I don't think they are sell-outs or greedy. It's just a shift in what's important to them. I just wish people would stop pointing to Pearl Jam's ticket prices and saying that they are so good to their fans. What was once a reality is no more. I'm not sure why people can't see it.

And, as Polaris has put it so succinctly... the 'whiners' need to finally put their money where their mouth is.

You go on and on about principles... we've heard it for 50 pages. Get some yourself. Actually refrain from supporting the band. Don't buy tickets and, please, for the sake of the sheeple... stop nauseating us with the incessant whining. Seriously- it's pathetic. And as well... stop doing so under the guise of liberating minds from the spell we're all under- unable to recognize the great injustice we've been done because we're simple.

The consistent whiners one here are the people that drive me crazy- and this is what they need to know. The sheeple are on to you. You make up the following list of people:

I golf with you- you think the rough is too unfair.
I go to concerts with you- you think the setlist was the shits.
I go to work with you- you think the job sucks.
I say I like a song- you tell me I shouldn't and provide me reasons why.
Blah blah blah.

The whiners are just unhappy people and if PJ charged $60... they'd find a reason to bitch. It's officially now comical. Looking forward to partying with you guys someday- man... that would be a hoot! Didn't your Moms hug you enough?

Wow, what a well thought out argument. You have it all figured out.

sure ... but it's 50 pages old ... it's pretty clear the majority of the disgruntled are saying the band has gotten greedy ... you can read it for yourself ...

secondly - it's been shown on here that although prices are not the lowest out there - they are FAR from the most expensive ... in fact, they are still in the lower end ... sure, $79 is expensive for nosebleed seats but do you think ticketmaster will allow PJ to scoop the "BEST SEATS" in the house and sell them for $79 and then give the rest of the seats to TM to have them sell it for less ... no way that's gonna happen ...

edit: ok ...it's only 47 pages long ...

It's 47 pages long because some people won't see that Pearl Jam has changed their importance level on setting ticket prices. It's 47 pages long because some people think PJ sold out and there is no telling them otherwise. It's 47 pages long because some people think PJ doesn't do anything wrong and are perfect.

I've stated my piece and then I left because it was going no where. As usual, the 2 extremes end up yelling at each other and everyone else in the middle gets bored with the whole thing. It really should be moved the A Moving Train as it fits well over there.

What I don't understand is....based on the title, this thread was clearly an airing of grievances of people who don't agree with the ticket prices. It went south when people who disagree came in here yelling and bashing people who don't agree that PJ' is the most perfect and generous entity ever. If you don't agree that prices are too high then you should have stayed away from this thread. There would have been no hostility or fighting. It's not too late for that. Just go away if you think pearl jam is perfect.
