Was talking to a few high school friends about seeing several Pearl Jam shows and the question came up how much did I think I spent on them. I was guessing about $1200 (tickets, posters, custom framing, and clothes) but probably would need to add on at least $600 more for travel related expenses such as hotels. Worth every penny!

    Maybe $150-200?? But I didn't see them this year, so there's that!

    2013...that was a different story.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I think just the $80 I spent for Vault 4 plus my $50 membership fee. Yay me, except it means I saw no shows, so boo.

    $200 on 2 shows about. Probably about $700 on vinyl records, 5 t shirts, both old and new- $100. I'm going to say $1000, but I'm too lazy to really figure it out. That's probably pretty close though.

    I did 7 shows on the tour this year and between tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, merch, gas, food & beverages plus other miscellaneous tour expenses I'm over $5200 just for the tour!!
    I also added up the items in my order history and it's at $664.92.
    I'm sure I'm forgetting other things too...so I'm gonna go with right around $6000 this year.
    BUT between the shows, meeting so many new friends AND catching up with all of my touring buddies I had met in the past made it worth EVERY single penny!!

    I never thought to look at it like that. Here's my 2014:
    Auckland 1/17/14
    GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14
    Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14
    Milan 6/20/14
    Berlin 6/26/14
    Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14
    St. Louis 10/3/14

    11 shows in 7 countries, according to TripIt 4+47+36=87 days travelling but that includes a LOT of days that were just travel and nothing to do with seeing PJ. I didn't buy a LOT of merch - sticker/pin from each show, hoodie, tank top, hat, two posters, but one was a donation, and the little airline wings pin. Oh and the tote bag. Okay I guess I bought more merch than I thought. But in my defense the hoodie and hat were unexpected weather related purchases. And the singlet was adorable while it lasted, unfortunately after a few washings it became too see through to wear.

    so if we're not counting travel expenses - I doubt I spent $3gs. If we are counting travel expenses I do not want to figure it out :)

    $2500 for the weekend in Austin. Plus a few trinkets here and there. About $3000.

    It came out to be like $304.94 Not too bad for a yearly total on PJ merch and one show plus one hotel stay and membership renewal.

    2 shows and a whole lot of merch. I'd say around $1,000, but I'm guessing that is low.
