I look at it this way, if your like me and PJ/Ed is your go to, you need to go. Simple. We are all getting older, world is changing. I have the chance to see my favorite one more time, its a no brainier. A year from know the ticket price wont replace the memory.
I put it for Night 2 Seattle tickets. I'll get my wife to put in for night 1. Fingers crossed. Would love to see a show or two.
As for the prices. Meh, I paid more to see GNR in Seattle 5 years ago, and to see the Stones in Seattle 2 years ago. They're small venues, so I guess it makes a little sense?
I have been curious what was going to happen to ticket prices after artists haven't been able to tour for 2 years.
It’s fine to be upset about the high ticket prices, especially if it puts the show out of your range. And it would be nice if they had 10C options at the lower price tiers - really not sure why they wouldn’t do that.
But this is a limited tour in small venues with an “All Star” band. I’d hold off on a larger freak out until we see $200 fan club tickets for Pearl Jam arena shows.
This is about where I am with it. I compared some other solo acts, at comparable venues, and they are all within the ballpark. This is sort of the going rate at the moment.
I would be upset if a full Pearl Jam ticket to Wrigley was $200 each. Then again...as others posted...this is sort of the price we pay for streaming music killing album sales, and inflation, and venues losing money with the pandemic, etc. Not to mention, probably added insurance for the venues.
So these tickets available to 10C members are just seats that 10C got first dibs on, but 10C members have no better odds of getting tickets than anyone else when the Verified Fan sale takes place, correct? It's just one big lottery drawing?

Negative. The 10c is presale lottery (at least that's my understanding). Verified fan sales would be after tickets are distributed via 10c presale.

The thing that hasn’t been discussed beyond the tix price is what this says about the state of the band.
Clearly Ed is restless and members of the band don’t want to go on the road. If not, why not just have PJ play a bunch of small venues for $250/ticket.
only other explanation is the all-star band members are suffering financially and Ed’s throwing them a bone and escaping domestic life for a bit.
Doesn’t bode well for a full May tour in my mind given the variant emergence.
"Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fuckin' quarter up here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck, you're blowin' it for fuckin' everybody. Hit me with a fuckin' quarter again and, fuck it, I'm outta here. We're all outta here. Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."

Smaller venue bigger price makes sense to me. I think the average show here is like 3500 people if that.
… then play larger venues…
Larger venues don't suit an EV show at all.
I had to change my mind about that after seeing him in Dublin. Absolutely electric.

Latest story - Declan at Slipknot is up on the website now at www.giventolive.com along with Kayleigh at Foo Fighters, Tony at Stereophonics and more.
Inspired by Pearl Jam, making live music dreams come true.
It is not an Ed solo show. It is Ed and half the Chili Peppers in small venues and in large metro areas. But I agree $250 a ticket is a bit steep.
I’d prefer just Ed
Were you at Ohana 1? Something totally different from what we have seen before. Just when you think Ed has gotten soft he brings that band out and they killed it. It was raw rock n roll energy. I love the solo shows, but this was just something totally unexpected and new. Not sure I would pay $250 to see it again, but at the time it was killer.

If Pearl Jam played a small theater it would be more then $250
Pricing tickets closer to market value squeezes the scalpers and puts more money in the band member's pockets. With every tour announcement, tickets are more expensive and the same people complain about the prices. Has there ever been an EV show that didn't sell out? These shows will all sell out at the suggested prices which tells me the tickets are not over-priced no matter how little you guys hope to pay to get in.
Put in for the 4 NYC and SEA shows, pairs, wife may bail on a show, so might be looking for seat buddies as we can only be confirmed for 1 SEA and NYC show, if any at all.
OK, wife wouldn't appreciate these shows, so want to edit my selections to singles. Do you just do the whole process over again? Following the steps it looks like I restart with no requests?
And knowing we can't be confirmed for both shows of a 2 night stop (NYC & SEA) do you just put in for one, or does putting in for both double your chances of getting 1 of the shows?
Edit: Didn't get the confirmation email mentioned in the details, but able to client on the MY REQUESTS link, see my original request, and the ability to cancel it and do a new one. And found the FAQs that cover cancelling/resubmitting a request

$250 a ticket and being forced to show health status AND wear a mask inside the venue? Hard pass on that BS. I wonder if EV has to mask up? No, he's the singer and famous so he's exempt. Will the rest of the band mask up? Doubt it. Can no one see the hypocrisy? The world has come undone...

A big part of our problems now arise from the fact that a lot of the people who can easily plonk down $250 for a concert ticket have discovered that doing so doesn’t exempt them from public health requirements, and they’re fucking furious about it.
I want to go for Seattle, and I had my finger hovering over the submit button with my requests..... and then I remembered that I could be subject to all kinds of problems trying to cross the border at that time. I'm not prepared to have to be tested or quarantined to make one of these shows, and who knows what the requirements might be in February. I feel like COVID is making it too risky for me to plan for this. And I'd be SO BUMMED that EV isn't hopping up to Vancouver, except if it even occurred to him, I'm sure he's concerned about the very same issues for him and his band and crew. Dammit.
As for the pricing... yep, that is STEEP. But he's still $100 cheaper than McCartney for decent seats, lol.
Yah, I'm nervous about that part. Right now from my understanding, you don't need a test to enter the US if your double vaxxed. If your returning I don't think you need one if you were in the US for less than 72 hours. If we took the ferry over and drove down on the Monday and back on the Wednesday that would only be 48 hours. Just enough to bring back some US booze
Obviously things could change before then. The fact we can flip the tickets on F2F should make it easy to dispose of tickets should something come up. I'll have to make sure whatever hotel we book is refundable.
Yes, those are the rules now, and it would be perfect if the shows were now, lol. But indeed, I'm concerned about things changing, especially with this new mutated strain making new waves and creating new restrictions in many places. I understand taking the risk... I'm just not much of a gambler. Of course, it could go the other way, and everything could be easy peasy by then... but missing a show due to an abundance of caution sounds better to me than making out-of-country travel plans that could easily be ruined, plus non-transferable tickets, because of a pandemic. Apparently I'm sticking with home shows only for now!
Where did you see no more tests to get into USA from Canada for short trips? I thought it was only return you didn’t need as long as you aren’t gone more than 72 hours?
It's both ways now for non-air travel crossings for 72 hour or less trips ... Literally just came into effect yesterday!

I by no means think that paying a fee for anything exempts me from anything at all. I'm not that crazy. I do think having a room full of vaccinated people or people who have tested negative and are still required to wear masks is one of the most insane concepts I've ever heard. But I understand that's the new normal for the sheep.

Maybe I missed something. Where does it say anything about wearing masks inside the venue? No where I read.
Edit: If your referring to the language in the health section talking about what MAY be required, that is the norm for every single event post COVID that has these health requirements. I've been to 8 shows, all saying the same thing.

I'm disgusting as well. EV is the draw of this band. I love the sum of the parts of PJ as a group but he deserves what he can get and apparently we will pay it. If it turns out these shows don't sell out I will stand corrected. They voluntarily set the price, we voluntarily decide to pay or not pay.
did anyone receive this after requesting tix? hours later and still nothing

Does everyone need a shirt and shoes to go to the supermarket? Because not everyone has to mask up where other people are required to.
