    im done trying to reason with some people here.

    either they are completly blind to the band and their members can do no wrong or they just dont wanna understand.

    probably u think this is 1994..its not
    its 2017 i know...

    give me ONE just ONE good reason to justify this question :

    1 - Ed charging 300 dollars for 2 tickets ?

    Take in consideration Ed´ Show there is nothing and i mean NOTHING fancy about it (no big stage , no lights , no pyro , lasers , NOTHING)

    the promoter for pay eddie ,pay promotion.,book the venue and make profit himself put this price at that VENUE
    Vedder or any other artist,doeswnt google venues to book,,he doesnt make the maths to set prices..
    eddie to pay at any place gets same money...depence where is playing the tix prices
    so if the price trix is 200 or 300..has nothing to do with eddie charging more..has to do with promoter ,venue etc..
    again...in 20 days..im going to 2 shows...dave matthew-tim reanolds..
    vienna 140 euros
    prague 60 euros...

    crazy huh??
    And you think at no point EV could step in and say "hey.......thats a bit much"
    Or is he just a slave to the promoter?
    man,,in2006..or 2012 eddie want the same name he is today
    second..eddie get paid in dollars..do u know the currency difference now and back then??u will be suprised
    why in usa tix are always less than europe?can u understand why?
    a pair tix at MSG the most famous arena in the world,cost 190 usa dollar..and a pair in fuckin oslo at a crappy football stadium was 304 per pair!!!!!!!!
    do u understand why this is happening?that taxes are different?that currency changed?
    in 2006 i paid 52 euros to see pj in greece...so freakking expensive than other countris..that i paid in 2012 thast money to see the band..what artist will say?oh poor greeks have huge vat and taxes,lets lower the price??
    ofcourse its expensive!!..but doesnt mean eddie wake up yesterday and said..fuck em..lets double my fee!
    I don't need an economics lesson to know when i'm being ripped off.
    I don't think you will ever see bad in this band and for that I salute you, I really do.
    1st of all,they dont come in greece,,thats the biggest mistake ever this band does,,!!
    cant be more bad than that!!
    Hahahahaha well of course.

    I read your post above about the price of bands coming to Greece and I see why not.
    Massive shame.

    At least you have a nice excuse to see some of the world =)

    $376 for a pair of tickets is expensive

    What concert costs $376 for a pair of tickets?
    I would be more than happy to pay $376 for a pair of tickets to see Ed & Glen at The Gorge or Red Rocks...
    Wouldn't even have to think twice!! :rock_on:
    Not me, I wouldn't pay over $100 per ticket.

    I've paid over $100 face value per ticket only 2 times, and both were to see Neil Young from the 3rd/4th row in a 2,000 seat theater. For smaller intimate shows he uses a tiered pricing system to cut out scalping, and I could have bought the cheaper $60 tix, but I wanted to sit close for Uncle Neil.

    Comparable solo shows I've seen over the years were Ben Harper solo and Chris Cornell solo... paid about $50-60 for great tickets to those shows in small theaters. Ben played for 3+ hours totally solo

    Did I read in this thread thst all of these venues are 5,000-13,000???

    I'm not familiar with the European venues so I have no clue, but I thought most of the shows would be in small nice theaters? If not, that definitely sucks. Small theater is the only way to go for EV solo in my opinion. Or that Greek theater obviously, that's just flat out cool no matter how many fit

    What's the local economy of Sicily like? can the locals afford to go to the show? or is it just going to be well-to-do American & European pearl jam fans going on holiday?

    This is a great opportunity for fans to understand that the band they fell in love with is not the same band anymore. Hasn't been for 10 years. They are great, charitable people with integrity that puts it all out there on stage, but they charge $35 for a $5 t shirt, and Ed charges $150 for a concert ticket. They rub shoulders with politicians and celebrities (well Ed does). No one is sleeping in bath tubs anymore.

    I gave in to this realization a few years ago. Don't get worked up anymore about prices.

    I wouldn't pay $100-$150 a ticket to really see anyone anymore..maybe if it was just me going to shows but to spend $300 for me and my wife to see a show is redic..especialy for ed and or pearl jam who I've seen so many times for 20 plus years now..obvoiusly venues like that Italian one is an exception..

    Yep..ed is cashing in. I have no problems with it..like i said with the whole ticketmaster thing it would have been cool if they kept prices low but oh well..nostolgia years are upon us. The band is 50 plus years old is the reality.

    So the smallest is 3600 and the rest is 5000-13,000+?

    That kind of sucks because I think he really shines in smaller intimate venues... hopefully when he comes to the states again he stays in the smaller 2,500 seaters

    Dimi is ctbox the correct website for the general sale or is that going to kick you to ticketone? Livenation seems to be hosting it but it kicks you out to ticketone I think.
