    This doesn't bother me at all. If it is more than just a typo it likely was the concession made to get us more fanclub tickets. Also...I have no problem with the band making money, nor do I have any problem with their outlooks evolving from what they were in 1995.

    Why ONLY St. Louis?
    good Q

    i'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt since only St Louis seems to have it....possible TM typo?

    Guessing they just havent updated all the shows. They will all have platinum unfortunately most likely.
    Why "most likely?"
    Most likely I would assume it's part of the deal. They aren't gonna have platinum for just one show. TM will want it for all the shows. More money for them.
    Maybe. Could be a mistake. I'm reserving judgment. And/or I'm suing them. 
    Yeah, no where in my TC membership agreement did I give them permission to sell Platinum seats. Gold seats maybe

    Just a thought here....Pearl Jam tickets is offering tickets for much less than other artists or similar or less stature.  If you don't believe me, look up the ticket prices for acts like Def Leppard and Hootie and the Blowfish.  Maybe the platinum seats are a way to offset ticket prices for the masses.

    Aren't these likely the Vitalogy Foundation seats? Perhaps just listed under a different name?

    Got to be something like this. Seems like every show I go to is some type of benefit. Give them the benefit of the doubt until we know
    Be different & make a difference. Decency & kindness @ a grassroots level works.

    I'm not listening to anyone who knows how much Hootie and the Blowfish tickets cost.

    Small price to pay for doubling the fan club ticket allotment.

    My guess is Ticketmaster gave ten club more tickets and then ten club allowed Ticketmaster to sell some of these platinum tickets to make more money as a compromise. But I also like to make connections that may be totally in left field.

    MSG Sections 108 and 116 were not available to the 10C lottery. I know Section 108 are house seats. 
    Perhaps these Platinum/Charitable tkts will be in these 2 sections.

    Is "Vitality" Foundation different from "Vitalogy" Foundation?

    If they are selling these for Vitalogy Foundation I guess I really don't care.  But mostly I also don't care if some schmuck wants to pay like $1,500 to see Pearl Jam.  Also, somebody paid $400 to see Ricky Gervais?  I really think he is quite funny, but that is nuts.
    I am sort of thinking the same thing. People get mad when scalpers buy up all the tickets and sell them for an inflated price that the market will pay. So now they change the way tickets are sold so that can't happen and sell a small number of tickets themselves at a price the market will pay and people still get upset. Not sure I see the problem other than people wanting the best tickets for the cheapest price.

    As I have said before the only real way to eliminate scalping is to price tickets high enough so there is no profit to be made by scalpers or to play so many shows that you basically flood the market.
