Ticket prices are consistant and fair.

No, that's not true at all.

I disagree with you. For instance in Detroit 2000 Eddie said "we could see the snow as we touched down". That is just one example but i am sure there are many more.

Another example. June 16 South carolina. Show ends at 11:00 Virginia Beach is 6.5 hours away & they play there the very next day. Do you really think that they are not going to fly?

What about the Immagine in Cornice dvd? What about all the buses outside the venues in 2006 (SB, SF etc...) that had various signs in the window designating them for specific members of the crew (i.e. sound, lighting etc.)?

As long as they are 30% better this tour, I am fine with paying 30% more a ticket.

They take those buses to and from the hotel and the airport. The sound & lighting guys very well may travel by bus to each show but the "band" most definitely fly to each show.

hmm you guys should work in the "I can research really well and decipher all conversations and prove me point" dept in the gov't

Hmm...that still doesn't explain why in the Immagine dvd Ed was on the bus then.

I don't know if ticket prices are too high or just right, but I do know that it's more than I can spend this time around. Maybe lawn seats will be more reasonable for my wallet, but right now $75 or so per ticket is a bit much and nobody I know is a big enough fan to pay that much to see them even though I know a few people who have seen PJ live and loved it.

I've seen the Killers for about $35-$40 plus service fees--even their Borgata shows were only about $55 after venue fees and shows there are usually more expensive. At this point, I can see Louis CK or Stephen Lynch and laugh my ass off for an hour or 2 and not have to pay even half of the price of a PJ ticket. I realize that the band has a bigger road crew to pay than comedians do, so it's not like I think they are gouging us, but there are popular bands charging less right now and there are some old washed-up acts from the 60s and 70s charging much more, so I guess their prices are somewhere in the middle and it's hard to get pissed at them for being in the middle, really.

Either way, the buses have to get from one show to the next. Why would they fly every single member of the crew to each and every show when the buses are going there anyways...OR...maybe they fly the buses, too?

They fought the good fight for years, and if they want something more for their wallet these days I don't have a problem with it. I'd want to make sure my family was taken care of if God forbid something happened. If they jack up ticket prices and start shortening shows, and playing generic setlists night after night, then I might be inclined to start skipping them...but I doubt that too. Its only money, spend yours on what you want.

$144 for a pair of great tickets is pretty fucking cheap.

I'm a big fan of silliness.

Italy is smaller than the US, so it might be easier for the band to take a bus from one city to another than to fly. I'd imagine that they'd take a bus from Camden to DC, but would have to fly from Tampa to Bonaroo unless they really enjoy tour buses.

Do you people realize you are having a conversation about the method of transportation for a rock band's road crew? The road crew! Who cares!?! At what point do you step back and realize you need a life outside of Pearl Jam?

Well, I definitely agree with this. I'm not saying they NEVER fly. LOL. How else would they get to Australia?! LOL

I will agree that they take all forms of transportation but i would wager they do much more flying than bussing to and from each venue. If im not willing to drive to NYC and i live in Detroit I really dont think the band is going to drive 12 hours when they could fly there in 2 hours.

LeilaMoonTurtle

hey
I tried that already
they won't listen

now it is just fun to join

1. Yes, yes I do.

2. Why are you all in a huff about it? Stranger things have been talked about. And, let's face it, at least there's no bitching going on at the moment.

3. You're kind of mean.

LeilaMoonTurtle

ok

why does it matter?
