    guys u made me laugh, i appreciate that....But im looking for some equally as funny explanations but ones that still answer the price hike...Im remembering the band that spearheaded the lawsuit against ticketmaster, saying that they are a monopoly for overcharging people on ticket prices..Thats the PJ i know and love..Im sure there is a reasonable explanation. Ive emailed the tenclub so well see what they come back with... :P

    I was kidding about an interview from 2006 where Ed said something like his eggs cost more than the avocado album, and he couldn't understand why people wouldn't pay for music but would go for breakfast or something

    $33 in service charges per pair is astronomical. The most ridiculous part.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    The inflation argument is reaonable. I would just like some proof that $80/ seat anywhere in the venue including up high is the going market rate...If thats true then I would by the tickets and go hear "luke the uke" and have a beautiful evening..

    if some of the shows sold out in ZERO seconds, I would say they are underpriced.

    my two cents: ed solo tixs are too high. it's a consumers market. ya'll set the prices. we have control if we want them to come down. people go ape-shit for live music. it's uncalled for. :lol:

    $90 today = roughly $62 in 1995. PJ wasn't charging anywhere close to $62 a seat in 1995. I believe they were between $20-30 face. Inflation makes up some of the difference but nowhere close to all.

    it's simple supply and demand. small venues + high demand = increased prices

    that said...$80 isn't a lot anyway. not sure what people are bitching about, but it's annoying

    While I agree Ed's tickets are on the steep side, I paid $184.50/pair and I get the privelage of sitting 8 rows from the stage. Well worth it for me as I will probably never get that close to the stage for a Pearl Jam concert.

    agreed

    noone is forcing you to buy tix. don't like the ticket prices, don't go, simple as that.

    so if inflation makes up some of it then where is the rest going? If you tell me its to help support the band in their going green initiative on tour, or to help pay their numerous staff a decent wage, or to the numbers of great causes they r involved in, or to by things for their ever growing families and put away for college, or to by eddies sweet bottle of dry red before every show....Im down with all those things and would gladly pay the extra difference... I just want alittle more info,,, ill let u guys know what the tenclub comes back with.....
