based on the last 2 years there should be single day tickets available mid September

In 2012 the single day tickets were $90
In 2011 the single day tickets were $60

Im guessing this year they will be $99 or even $100+

this is the truth of the matter.

Right now, only 3 day passes are on sale as this is a festival that does not have a history of selling out.

within a month or 2 of the show, they'll put up single days... probably 90-100 each.



As for the OP's comment about :thumbdown: for a festival... well let me put it this way... I go to a lot of festivals, and they're great - but I would rather see PJ at an arena show than a festival, just because I know how their set list will differ to cater to the festival audience.

That being said, I was at ACL 09, Jazzfest 10, and will most likely be at voodoo 13, unless they announce a string of texas dates ( i'm laughing at the thought as a type it ) beforehand.

take what you can get, when you can get it is my advice.

Yes, this.

I would think there will be people trying to unload tickets the days leading up to the show as well. Check Craigslist the day before the show.

Living in New Orleans and being a long time Ten Club member is a love hate relationship. While I love that they are coming to town, this means another time that I do not get prefered tickets from the 10 club. How about offering some single day tickets for 10C members or an area up front? I love PJ but I am having a hard time spending $160 to see PJ from the back of the lawn.

Don't go.

GO

Dear OP don't worry about some of the keyboard courage( things that wouldn't be said face to face) replies you have gotten, it seems like more and more people on here love to critize one another. Some people think they are bigger fans and are judging know it alls because they sit on here and post 50 times a day like a teenage girl on Facebook, some people like to get a rise out of others and some people are New York business men( a demographic with a different philosophy on life than the average pearl jam fan who cares more about the real issues in the world versus impressing his friends with his new BMW). Anyways sorry man, hope there's someway you are able to make it to the show. Didn't mean to offend anyone but I'm sure I did and for the record I have nothing against NY haha just people who don't realize that not everyone is as finically sound as they themselves may be.

BB31967: I really, REALLY hope you get to see them play at Voodoo! I always hate to hear a fan can't see a show due to cost. I've been there many times.
And if Voodoo isn't in the cards, come join us in Dallas when they play here. Great fans in Texas!!

I agree I hope he goes too but the cost wasn't his complaint. His complaint was that he had a hometown show and couldn't use his 10C tix because it is a festival. He did not want to spend that much on festival seating. While I can appreciate that, at the same time I would not post it here looking for people to feel bad for me, especially when SO MANY people have to travel to EVERY PJ show they go to. PJ will never ever play any closer than 3 hours from me. Considering how much it costs to drive, sleep and eat in another town, on top of the ticket and concert food/bev I don't feel bad for him at all. I would kill to be able to sleep at my own house, eat my own food and drive across town to see PJ for $170 plus the opportunity to see the other bands playing that day.
