    On the ticket prices, I don't really mind because I can afford it ... but I think it really is too high. We have definitely made Eddie a rich man. Do some simple maths, and it equates to around $5-6 million in ticket sales for about a month on the road. Not to mention merchandise.

    Even Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen are only a little bit more for floor seats. Radiohead is about $70. I saw Bob Dylan (with full band, plus Leon Russell as support) for $45. Similar for Wilco, Arcade Fire. Different venues/capacities etc., but when you factor in it is just Eddie & Glen with a few guitars, then Eddie is certainly making out like a bandit. Good luck to him I suppose. I hope some of the bands I see each week for $5 to $8 will one day be raking in the cash themselves.

    I am coming in from Toronto for the second show in Vegas

    Am hoping to find a ticket for the 10th...there would surely be some beer and food if anyone can help a brother out.

    Thank you!

    If Bruce Springsteen played in a 3,000 seat venue it wouldn't be just a little bit more $ than Ed's ticket. 5-6 million in ticket sales immediately turns into around 2.5 million after taxes. Then he has to pay the crew, rent the venue, travel costs, pay to have the merch made etc. He isn't making as much as you are saying. Is it a lot? Of course. Let's look at it this way what would be the point in doing another tour if it wasn't to make money. People plunk down just as much for a regular season sporting event that means absolutely nothing.

    It's well worth $100. I haven't heard anyone complain about the ticket price after the show. It's all the whiners before the event.

    Yes, he's making more money than in the early days. Yes it prohibits some from seeing him live. I have never seen him live, and I live halfway across the country. I am paying for airfare, hotel, concert tickets and more. I just discovered PJ and EV in October and I am obsessed. He is an artist in every sense of the word. Brilliant. And it is an honor to be able to see him perform live. Why? Because I believe he does it for love. I believe that he would be making music even if it didn't pay as well. He fills my heart and soul with his art. I can't wait.

    anyone have an extra pair for Austin, either night?! I was online forever, called several times, and when I finally got through, they only had single scattered seats....if anyone has an extra pair, sitting together, anywhere in the venue, I would love you forever.

    What's with these ticket holders charging so much? Also the use of photo's of Eddie from the early 90's to sell his shows.*shakes head.

    Hey all,

    Has anyone got a spare Ten Club seat for the Eddie El Paso show?

    I'm going to be in LA then, but I've checked out flights to El Paso on the day of the show and they are pretty reasonable. I would only need one ticket for me.

    PM me if you can help! The beers will be on me all night for anyone who can help :D

    Cheers,

    I have an extra pair of tickets for both Austin and Tulsa. Details are below:

    Tulsa - 4/20 - Section C, row CC. This is the center floor section.
    Austin - 4/28 - Level B2, section UC2, row U. This is the 2nd balcony.

    I'm looking for $200.00 a pair. This is roughly face value, plus all the B.S. fees plus the shipping it cost me to get actual hard tickets sent to me. (Call me crazy, but I like an actual ticket stub vs. some computer print out thing). Both sets of tickets are in hand and ready to go. I've just had some work plans change and will only be able to attend the Dallas show (where I live and won the 10C lottery).

    PM me if interested, I'd rather unload them here to an actual fan instead of dealing with the idiots on Ebay if possible. For the price I will include USPS priority shipping. I'll only accept paypal for payment. Check out my Ebay feedback if you wish, my user name is the same as here... edved007. You will see I have a 100% perfect feedback.

    thanks!
