Ticket prices are consistant and fair.

and you can afford to pay more, that's why they raise prices, simple supply vs demand, demand is higher than supply, if the price is too high go to radiohead and enjoy the money you saved, cuz that's the only thing to entertain you at a radiohead show

See you there!

you realize that your whole business model is not something pj has ever been about and it sounds silly saying that? they are musical ARTISTS, they are not some big corporation

i'd say between $45-$55 dollars is more than fair

So you would pass up seeing Pearl Jam live because $20? Is it because $20 will make that much of a difference for you over the month or would it more to just prove a point? It is not like your phone bill where you have to pay it every month, it is maybe if you are lucky a once or twice a year thing.

Again i dont have a problem with a $70 ticket, I just didnt expect it from Pearl Jam. I hold this band to a higher standard than others.

Other than MSG & Boston I dont think Demand will be greater than the supply.

You also have to remeber that Pearl Jam does not have corporate sponsors to help pick up the tab. If they decided to go the sponsor route people on here would be screaming the band sold out. I'm not waving my Pearl Jam pom poms but I think all things considered it's reasonable.

How can anyone name a "fair" price when they don't know all of the facts?

Great!
They're charging $55 with $16-19 in service fees per ticket!
EVERYONE WINS!

they may not be part of that, but the people that book the tours, rent the venues etc are, and they tried touring without dealing with ticketbastard already and look where that got people;) PJ is probably taking home about the same $$$ as they always have, the rest of the increase is because OTHER PEOPLE are making money too without really caring if we are upset by it. Pearl Jam theoretically COULD dispense with dealing with businesses like this but it would be a complete cluster fuck:) IRONICALLY Pearl Jam has the highest convenience fees around, lol, the ticket costs the same $20 as before but for the convenience of getting the show together that's the other ~$55/ticket, lol.
But seriously, if you think Pearl Jam could do a$45-50 show and still afford to pay the bills those shows incurred AND make money( because that's why they do it, at least a part of the reason) I want you to do one thing: WAKE THE FUCK UP FROM YOUR IDEALISTIC HIPPY DREAM WORLD

i already said no but that doesn't change the fact that its a steep price and i feel like im getting squeezed here
