right on. time to go back to seniority seating.I can only hope.
I'm on board with my high # as long as they charge fair prices.
Throw down tiers at $300 $200 and $100 into the draw then winners go in by club number. Even throw in a $400 tier and let's see who really wants to get closer.
Charging FOH and nose bleeds roughly the same is unamerican /s
no way, man. let's keep ticket prices "reasonable".you can throw down your $400 on a flux capacitor and go back to 91 and join the fanclub.

But when the weekend was over I had so much fun so who knows. Maybe if they keep it around the same price I would, but not go much higher, definitely not the $200-300 range, that would be an easy pass at that price. At $250 a ticket, that would be a thousands bucks on just tickets for 2 shows the both of us to do something like Wrigley again, that is just crazy. Who would want to do that? And I don't see traveling worth while unless I get at least 2 shows out of it.0 -

yeah, its getting close to my price point. Especially for some shows you recruit a friend to go, and its much tougher to get them to agree to pay hundreds for a ticket they are only somewhat enthused about.0

At $125 per ticket I could only do one show last summer. No way I am spending $500 to see pj twice.

That's my limit. I'm not sure if I'll even travel for them again. It's just too expensive. But you never know. I might get the urge to make a vacation out of it. But even then, it would only be for one PJ show, wherever it might be. But then that's all I've done so far. I've never followed them around on tour. I've just done a couple destination show one-offs. I can't understand how non-flipper fans can afford to follow them from city to city. I personally spent nearly $4000 CAD just to see them play once in Chicago, lol. Because I made a 5 day vacation of it.But you know, if I win the lottery I'll totally do multiple cities, haha. But only maybe 2 or 3. I wouldn't be able to see a bunch of shows in a tour. I'd get so fucking sick of PJ if I did that. That's great that some people just can't get enough I suppose, but that's not for me. Not for PJ or any other artist on the face of the planet.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.

Stuck in a quote box.
Ticket prices will go up. Count on it. Even at $200 PJ is well worth it.
Now does anybody really know anything bout the plans for next year?0 -

If we ditch the kids and I take my wife next time, she prefers public transportation over Uber (and so do I, but the people I was traveling with didn't), so we could probably do it for under 2k for the 2 of us considering I spent about $200 for my share of Uber on the weekend. I'll just refuse to travel again if the bulk of the cost is going to be the concert tickets.0 -
I'm with others. $125 or $250/pair is my peak. I was lucky enough (as most were) to get both Fenway shows last time around, and the $500 charge was a doozy. But we knew that going in.
My hope is that it goes back closer to the $188/pair that we had for 2016 arena shows. But I'm not holding my breath.0 -
I find it amaxing how much people say it costs them! I did 8 shows this summer, biggest expense were tickets which i mistly buddied up on, granted, but i managed a week in Seattle for £600(flight and accommodation), a week in Europe for far far less and then a couple of overnighters, one in the airport, another on the sidewalk. Done! It really can be done on the cheap. And yes, i have kids and an averagely paid job....Post edited by Gingerlou77 on0

I really like doing a road trip, with 2-3 shows as the plan. I can justify that if they are 150-180 for a pair. I cant do that if they are 250 a pair anymore.
Post college, i had much more disposable income. Now with kids, its harder to manage that. The road trip alone is hard to coordinate. 2009 was really our last proper road trip. Since then, its been one offs where we can get sitters.
My only request is no more baseball parks. I get why they did Wrigley in 2013. And with the rain, i get why they did it again in 2016. 2018, while fun, was beginning to wear thin, esp with the rain delay for monday. I dont want rain delays. Play places where the show can go on.Turn this anger into

Nope, Pearl Jam ain't worth sleeping in airports and on sidewalks. I guess I'm just not THAT big of a fan, lol.
