    Right. So what's the value of the show price? We should be allowed to deduct the difference. For the $1000 seats, it's a huge deal. If the show price is $100, then a $900 deduction for someone in CA at combined 40% marginal rate will save $360.

    Nope, but close. Also checking with Teen Cancer America about donation/tax info. I'll post updates if I hear anything.

    Ok. Post what you hear. Ticketmaster and Rosemont had no info. I really hope that it's US that gets the deduction. Vedder and Townshend don't need it!

    I just found out that I have to cancel my previously planned trip to Chicago for that weekend and now I cannot go to the show. I have an electronic pair of tickets in Section 109 Row R that I need to sell. The tickets come out to $1,559 total after face + fees.

    The tickets are dead center and in the row right before the $1,000 seats. Please email me if you are interested - daniel.ricciardi@gmail.com

    Someone at Teen Cancer America said they're looking into the tax deduction question and will get back to me with an answer.

    Wow. Still tickets left to this? I thought for sure, with the insanity of Pearl Jam/Eddie fans, this would sell out instantly... even the expensive seats.

    They spend a lot of money on vinyl, posters, and socks. So can't buy the 1k tickets.

    Must be a lot of buyer's remorse with these tickets. Seems like there are lot for sale in these parts.

    The problem is that the non-balcony tickets cost a fortune. Probably maybe 10-20% of the price of the cheap tickets are going to charity vs 80% of the price just going for the cost of show. But 80-90% of the $750+ ones are. And people are having problems finding buddies or stubhub customers willing to pay that price.

    If this was just a regular Vedder/Townshend theater show and the top tickets were maybe $300, I think the whole thing would have sold out and extra demand at that price point would be pushing up prices on the secondary markets.

    As it stands, many on stubhub are going to lose their hats on this show. Hopefully there's a tax deduction and then some people can afford to lose up to 45% on the tix depending on their state and income
