Ticket prices

TR70596 said:For years Pearl Jam had a reputation for looking out for the fans and keeping ticket prices low, but those days are sadly gone.
Bands like Radiohead and Phish still keep their top prices around $75 and they have the same drawing power and history as PJ. I'll still pay $123 to see them at Fenway, but let's not kid ourselves - these jacked up prices are pure greed from a band that likes to talk a big game about putting fans first.0 -
riley540 said:$130 reallly isn’t that bad for a live performance from a very seasoned, very talented group of mucisians. There is incredible demand for Pearl Jam tickets. There had been since I started seeing them in 2013. People are willing to pay for a quality product. Pearl Jam is the best as it will get for a live show. $130 all day, no brainer. I’m happy to pay itSEA 9/20/92, SEA 12/7/93, SEA 12/31/94 (MS), SEA 11/5/00, SEA 11/6/00, SEA 12/8/02, SEA 12/9/02, BEN 10/22/03, GOR 9/1/05, SD 7/7/06, LA 7/10/06, LA 7/12/06, LA (EV) 4/12/08, LA (EV) 4/13/08, LA 7/12/08, LA 9/30/09, LA 10/7/09, SEA 12/6/13, SEA 8/8/180

Yah, I have no problem with them charging more. I charge more for my services than I did when I last attended a PJ show too. Just was a bit surprised by how large the jump. But I can afford it, and do not begrudge paying it to take my son to a great show in Missoula (hopefully!! Fingers Crossed!)Post edited by sunvalleylaw on0

Maybe this has been said already somewhere in the last 6 pages and if so, I apologize.But forget the jump from 1994 to now... $188 for a Wrigley pair in 2016 to $245 in 2018? I realize the demand is huge and that the bottom line won't be bothered by this, but that's the difference between me being at one or both shows. I won't even enter the lottery for both now. In 2016, I entered and was hoping to win both. If I entered both for 2018, I'd be hoping to only win one show, and that's not right. $376 for 2 shows in 2016... $490 in 2018?As an aside, it also significantly increases the chances of me getting shut out, which sucks.0

Man, what a drag. I may just sit these shows out. I can afford it but that's not the point to me.The future's paved with better days

FWIW 2 GA tickets to Foo Fighters at SafeCo in Seattle - $242 with taxes and fees
The current ticket prices are the fair market value. yes they are expensive, yes, this is how much tickets to the stadium shows of the other bands cost as well.0 -
The unfortunate thing is the band used to cater to fans seeing multiple shows per tour, but if $120 per ticket is the new normal going forward how many people can afford to go to 6-8 shows if they do an extensive US tour?0

Some friends of mine were dumbstruck looking at prices for Elton John and Pink tickets recently. Based on what they told me, we're still doing pretty good.0

Cut the ballpark shows out and I would gladly pay this price.
Still GA or nada though.Pittsburgh 2013

Foo Fighters just two weeks later at the same venue is the same price after TM fees. Don't have a problem with either but i think the Pearl Jam tickets are a better value.0

Young people should go see young people bands for the cheap concerts. Old people with money see Pearl Jam.0

You all know this is to raise 10 million dollars for homeless people in Seattle?
$3 of each ticket ($10 for Seattle) is a charitable contribution to the Vitalogy Foundation, a United States-based public charity under I.R.C. section 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1)

As I said, I don't have a problem with higher prices, especially to help support a good cause. But both PJ tix, and apparently Foo tix, have gone up amazingly in a short amount of time. Not sure the Foo Fighters are helping out the homeless, but I don't know.0
