$10 ticket tour. PJ mentioned.

Good read. However it doesn't say what venues this band played, but wherever it was they were able to get 10,000 fans. The tour got Eddie's thumbs up "right on"

Raise your hand if you are still making the same amount of money that you made in 1991...

The point is that unless you walk into your boss' office every year and demand that he not give you a raise because you work there simply because of the love for your occupation then you are a huge hypocrite.

In fact by your logic - it makes you greedy and a sell out.

according to that a $75 dollar ticket today would cost about $50 in 1991...still pretty freaking outrageous

I really don't think anyone was suggesting that Ed and Pearl Jam tickets should be $10. But $90 is excessive.

Paul Andrews

If you want cheaper tickets - the next time one of your friends (or you) copy a CD, illegally download a album, buy a rip off t-shirt, rip a dvd, thank them (or yourself) for forcing ticket prices up.

Inflation, less revenue from music and merch sales plus the need to pay the wages of all members of the Pearl Jam organisation are the reason for higher ticket prices - not greed.

A Pearl Jam ticket is still much cheaper than comparable bands and much better bang for your buck.

Again... have you ever turned down a raise at work?

Did you ever say to your boss that $15 an hour is pretty good money, but I can't accept $20 an hour because that would be excessive?

My point (I have several actually) is why are you holding a rock band to a higher standard than you hold to yourself?

oh, please. don't blame people that download music for the decline of record sales. hollywood just had a record box-office year last year and people download movies just as much as music. it's the music industry that's to blame.

and you are trying to compare a person who busts their ass everyday to scrape together $45,000 a year to a band who works a few months out of the year and makes millions...

U R A Crazy Breed

i have the perfect plan to acquire cheap tickets....i wait by the will call and mug the first fuck i hear complaining about ticket prices going up....when he regains consciousness he'll have realized he should of just shut the fuck up and been happy of fucked off and not bought them.

Yes I am if that person is calling the band a sell out and greedy for raising their tickets over the years to a very reasonable level when compared to the rest of the industry.

Seriously... if this integrity thing over earning money is so important to some of you guys then why aren't you backing up all of your talk with actions.

Next time you are offered a raise at work - turn it down. That way your boss can lower his prices and the average consumer can buy your service or item at a lower price.

perhaps you dont understand my post...

WE are the common folk. We bust our ass for our money to squeak by on the bills. They have millions in their bank accounts...they don't need the money to survive. Hell they could probably do a world tour for free and still retire as very rich men.

You are calling out the band based on some principle that they should be this noble and altruistic group of guys and they shouldn't care about money because they already have plenty of it.

But principles don't work that way. They don't change based on the size of your bank account. You don't get to apply principles subjectively.

You either believe in them and live it or you're just talking out of your ass.
