Will there be anymore normal priced ticket drops? Sorry but no band is worth these prices. 

Speaking as someone who just dropped a bundle on Vitalogy tickets, I’d say that I paid about face value for the tickets themselves, and all the extra money I paid was in exchange for not having to keep spending excessive amounts of my time & energy obsessively checking Ticketmaster, trying to figure out the F2F exchange, scouring this forum for intel about ticket drops, and generally worrying about how I’m going to get into the show for the next 6 weeks. And that’s definitely worth the price. 

Congrats on the tix. There’s another $2300 msg single for anyone who wants it and money is not an issue. My concern is for the desperate fan, and this is their only option. And not having that money in the future in a cold capitalist society could cause them pain.

I went to someone I consider very wise, who is not a rock fan, as an “arbiter.” Explained the entire background with TM, historically low face tickets “for the fans,” and how on this tour East appearances were extremely limited, tickets impossible and a grand on SH, then charity tix start showing up for $2k. “Even if the money is for charity, they are businessmen like everyone else. This is their legacy, not yours.”

interesting the hated Ticketmaster walks away with triple face value per ticket. Nice haul for TM. Even if they donate all proceeds to charity, the tax benefit to their pockets would still exceed face value. Congrats TM!

I mean, they could just not go to the show, right?  It's a friggen concert, not a life or death situation.  I would have absolutely no issue saying no to a $2000 ticket. Even if they were playing in my back yard.

Was it explained to the wise person that They obtained an unprecedented number of fan club tickets, kept face value at $107, didn’t tier price the entire arena, made tickets non-transferable to fight scalping where they could, and now are selling a limited amount of tickets for charity for a good cause?  Or does the wise person think they are selling more than a couple dozen tickets per show for charity in an attempt to get people to spend beyond their means?  I think they’ve done pretty well trying to help the common fan here, but you can’t please everyone all of the time.

We sure are, and we are not likely to agree on the wisdom of what you posted.

I’ve noticed that this: https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/284317/2-exclusive-tickets-to-intimate-pearl-jam-concert-on-march-26-at-apollo-theatre-in-nyc/p1

is one of the few threads on this forum that you haven’t dropped by to turn into a discussion of how PJ is manipulating its fans into paying unaffordable ticket prices (for reasons that I’m still struggling to understand). Unlike the MSG show, in this case winning that auction actually is the only way to buy your way into the show (as far as I can tell). I’m curious whether you have a problem with the charity auction for Apollo tickets, and if not what you see as the difference between that and the Vitalogy tickets for the regular tour stops.

I think we've seen the last of the ticket drops (non-charity) as the F2F is coming up.

I count 34 not counting the accessible seating. Was there any decent seats or all at the back? 

Seriously? Every seat in there is decent cause it's so small. The Sec T and D aren't the back...I got sec F, center court.

Seriously.

 I am asking because I am wondering if the best seats in the house on the immediate wings are going to be VF tickets going forward or if any of these for the regular price were up there. 

I contracted a migraine reading this post

Migraines suck so if my response gave you a migraine I sincerely apologize.

When confusion and frustration lead to dissension, I often look to Mrs. Trump for guidance.  What would she do?  What would she tell us?  Nine times out of ten she would share these two words:  "Be.  Best."  

You're welcome.
