Ticket pricing

Correct.JimmyV said:I don't think anyone is being critical of people who legitimately cannot afford these tickets. Or anyone who simply does not want to pay this much for tickets. The push back is more against the "EDDIE YOU GREEDY!" sentiment.
To be honest, I've seen him two times. I'm not sure I'd go again. He's great, but I'm not sure what I'd see a third time around that I hadn't already seen the first two times.
I'm waiting for the band. I might be waiting a while. They're not exactly the busiest performers by any stretch of the imagination."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Man you really do feel the need to be judgemental eh?

Even when you explain the very basic fact that his ticket prices are on par with other performers... they basically say he's not worth as much as those performers. Well hey man... it's simple then... don't go if you think he's not worth it. But for gawds sakes... keep your dignity versus look like an adult stomping his feet and pouting in a virtual kind of way.
Here is a nice example for you. I go to a lot of football matches in London, the ticket prices there are held firm and will go up slightly each season. In an effort to keep the fan base happy, onside and to get young people to come to the matches, games in the cup or european matches are prices at half that of league games. Sometimes more. In that instance they are building good relations with the fans and ensuring that young people who are the next generation of supporter has a chance to see the team play regardless of economic background.
They could charge double, triple the price and the 35,000 stadium would be full each week. But they choose not to. Just because there is an opportunity to exploit people it doesn't mean you have to take it.
I feel like I have to shout here as the message isn't getting through:
HIS TICKETS AREN'T THE SAME PRICE AS OTHER PERFORMERS IN LONDON
HIS TICKETS ARE AMONGST THE HIGHEST CONCERT TICKETS CURRENTLY IN LONDON
HE HAS DOUBLED THE PRICE OF THE TICKET FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK
And you are coming across as a really negative money driven republican btw.
And your vague reference to what you do hasn't absolved you of anything: if advertisers have paid for your services... ultimately the consumers have provided that money that you enjoy.
I'm not arguing that the ticket prices aren't high. I'm just saying that tarring and feathering Ed for the prices set is poor. If the venues sell out, then his management team did a good job understanding the market. I passed on the Eagles and I passed on Fleetwood Mac. I'm currently passing on Roger Waters. I'd like to go to these shows, but I balked at the price- my choice. I did not spaz out and whine about it.
Mike Trout isn't going to sign for a couple million a year out of principle. He is going to sign for what his talents demand. Expecting him to play for less so tickets can be cheaper for people to attend games and they can buy more beer and nachos with the extra money is ridiculous.
And I'm not a money driven republican. I'm a Canadian public school teacher. And a realist.
I am still at a loss as to how my career links to a professional musicians working practise......
The simple fact is he has charged in the upper price bracket for a concert that shouldn't be priced as such. And thats not stomping my feet as an adult, it's pointing out that an artist who supposedly holds sensibly priced tickets throughout his career as a bastion of good practise can suddenly go against that. If it's not him then it's his team or his promoter or whoever.
Also if you are a teacher and you use the word "spaz" you really need to have a good hard look at yourself.
Have a nice day.
The fact that it's in your vernacular shows the kind of person you are. Bye now
I think you need a hug. I'm willing to send you a Falla Sheep. When it gets to you... you can have something to play with when you're hammering away on your keyboard. If you tire of it... sell it on eBay for 12 dollars. Then... you can use that 12 dollars to offset Ed's criminal fee and the ticket prices will fall into your approved range.
Sound good?
I wouldn't have judged you if you hadn't said "spaz".
Haven't you got some kids to go and teach rather than hammering away on a keyboard....... mind what you say now.
It was you that jumped on me straight away on this thread. It's not 1991, been to any shows recently?
Condescending and arrogant.
Now run along
I'm actually at the hospital supporting my child.
You don't get the Falla Sheep now."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
I don’t pretend to know the details of the overhead involved, but I’m willing to bet it will cost EV more to perform a solo show at that venue than Sting an artist who lives & records in London. To me that seems like common sense, but I could be mistaken.texasistheSTEVEN said:
Ev is one man with a couple of guitars and a uke.Merkin Baller said:
Is it possible Sting has all the gear, crew & musicians he needs right there in London ready to go?helplessdancer said:
so because people are prepared to pay more for ed than for sting it's ok for ed to charge 40pounds/euros more?Spiritual_Chaos said:
People are prepared to pay more for Eddie?
sounds like ed wants to take home more money than sting(and at the expense of his fan base) and sting is probably touring with a 4 piece band to pay!
i understand where teaxistheSEVEN is coming from.
He does have a residence in London, and he also records there. I don't think it's a fair comparison.
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds would probably be a more appropriate comparison, but then we could get into demand, etc.
It's not like he needs a full backline or his own lighting engineer
(we don’t know how many people EV is traveling with or the overhead involved – yes, we can almost certainly assume it’s significantly less than if the full band was touring, but unless you have experience in the industry, your guess is no better than mine)
He’s also playing all of two gigs in the UK. That’s two shows to cover the expenses of traveling in & out of the country with his gear & crew. You could make the argument that he should play more dates, but maybe he hates touring & wants to be home with his young family? Who could blame him? I hate traveling for work. It’s all well & good when you’re single in your twenties, but when you’re in your 50s w/ young kids at home, where would you rather be?

Even when you explain the very basic fact that his ticket prices are on par with other performers... they basically say he's not worth as much as those performers. Well hey man... it's simple then... don't go if you think he's not worth it. But for gawds sakes... keep your dignity versus look like an adult stomping his feet and pouting in a virtual kind of way.
Here is a nice example for you. I go to a lot of football matches in London, the ticket prices there are held firm and will go up slightly each season. In an effort to keep the fan base happy, onside and to get young people to come to the matches, games in the cup or european matches are prices at half that of league games. Sometimes more. In that instance they are building good relations with the fans and ensuring that young people who are the next generation of supporter has a chance to see the team play regardless of economic background.
They could charge double, triple the price and the 35,000 stadium would be full each week. But they choose not to. Just because there is an opportunity to exploit people it doesn't mean you have to take it.
I feel like I have to shout here as the message isn't getting through:

And you are coming across as a really negative money driven republican btw.

I'm not arguing that the ticket prices aren't high. I'm just saying that tarring and feathering Ed for the prices set is poor.

And thats not stomping my feet as an adult, it's pointing out that an artist who supposedly holds sensibly priced tickets throughout his career as a bastion of good practise can suddenly go against that. If it's not him then it's his team or his promoter or whoever.
Also if you are a teacher and you use the word "spaz" you really need to have a good hard look at yourself.

I think we've been over this ground and cited the guys from Dave Matthews playing the same venue for 2 nights as being a much more valid comparison. £52 a ticket.Merkin Baller said:
I don’t pretend to know the details of the overhead involved, but I’m willing to bet it will cost EV more to perform a solo show at that venue than Sting an artist who lives & records in London. To me that seems like common sense, but I could be mistaken.texasistheSTEVEN said:
Ev is one man with a couple of guitars and a uke.Merkin Baller said:
Is it possible Sting has all the gear, crew & musicians he needs right there in London ready to go?helplessdancer said:
so because people are prepared to pay more for ed than for sting it's ok for ed to charge 40pounds/euros more?Spiritual_Chaos said:
People are prepared to pay more for Eddie?
sounds like ed wants to take home more money than sting(and at the expense of his fan base) and sting is probably touring with a 4 piece band to pay!
i understand where teaxistheSEVEN is coming from.
He does have a residence in London, and he also records there. I don't think it's a fair comparison.
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds would probably be a more appropriate comparison, but then we could get into demand, etc.
It's not like he needs a full backline or his own lighting engineer
(we don’t know how many people EV is traveling with or the overhead involved – yes, we can almost certainly assume it’s significantly less than if the full band was touring, but unless you have experience in the industry, your guess is no better than mine)
He’s also playing all of two gigs in the UK. That’s two shows to cover the expenses of traveling in & out of the country with his gear & crew. You could make the argument that he should play more dates, but maybe he hates touring & wants to be home with his young family? Who could blame him? I hate traveling for work. It’s all well & good when you’re single in your twenties, but when you’re in your 50s w/ young kids at home, where would you rather be?0 -

who said im rich,,,seems u are good in assuming thing..just_one said:
you do realise not all people are rich like you and cant spent 500 € (which is some cases is a month income) to go to other coutries multiples times and see a band play and that doesnt make them love PJ or Ed more than u right?dimitrispearljam said:
bam...its crazy....and what is most crazy shit is that people complaining fdor month where is tour announcement???JimmyV said:If these tickets were overpriced they wouldn't sell. We'll see what happens but I'm betting near every single ticket will sell. By definition then they cannot be overpriced. This band has spent more than two decades building its reputation as an incredible live act. Not every band has done that. Eddie is the front man. He's charging a price he knows he can get. I personally don't need any more explanation or rationalization than that. I'm not apologizing for Eddie or making excuses for Eddie because needs me to do neither. This is the price. Pay it or don't. I'm not in Europe but if I were I would to see him with Glen again. The 2012 shows in Florida were that good.
after the rumors starts..where the fuck is the uk dates??when they get dates,,why is only london..and when go to buy tix..why is so expensive the ticket????
they will not be happy with anything...if eddie visit their house..they will bitch why he didnt bring his own drinks and finish their wine...
some sould live in Greece ,when they never get any fuckin dates and need 500 euros,..just to get out of the country to visit a country eddie and pj plays..they need a fuckin bus ride cost 2 dollars and 30 minutes to arrive to the venue..and some of us need to travel the half planet to see 3 hours of quality music..no need to mention people from asia-africa..they will never see them in their continent...
this situATION shows who loves the BAnds and who loves them when its easy for them..
when u love something u dont start with IF..ir ask for contitions to love it..
we only live once.,,be fuckin happy and live the life and get what u can..today will never come back again..
ill quote the lyrics of a song we not suppose to to "mention" here...bu changing one word..
Look around, she’ll NOT always be there.....
Gonna let it ride
i just see t life half glass full and i donbt bitch for everything i cant do
u love eddie when comes to portugal and its a greedy bad person charging alot when he doesnt play your country
u go to a gazilion of shows every fuckin tour , which of itself is not cheap AT ALL!!
i love eddie when he comes to portugal but to be honest if he charged more than 100 fuckin euros for a ticket even here in lisbon i probably wouldnt go.0 -

The fact that it's in your vernacular shows the kind of person you are. Bye now
I think you need a hug. I'm willing to send you a Falla Sheep. When it gets to you... you can have something to play with when you're hammering away on your keyboard. If you tire of it... sell it on eBay for 12 dollars. Then... you can use that 12 dollars to offset Ed's criminal fee and the ticket prices will fall into your approved range.
Sound good?
I wouldn't have judged you if you hadn't said "spaz".
Haven't you got some kids to go and teach rather than hammering away on a keyboard....... mind what you say now.
It was you that jumped on me straight away on this thread. It's not 1991, been to any shows recently?
Condescending and arrogant.
Now run along
I'm actually at the hospital supporting my child.
You don't get the Falla Sheep now.
My excuse is I'm at work
Show some respect and empathy, the man said he's at the hospital with his child.
Which makes your concerns about ticket prices seem pretty damn minor in the big picture.0
