I don't care how much the tickets cost. I just wish PJ would play closer to where I live (south Texas) more often. I'll gladly pay $1,000 for two tickets as long as I don't have to travel 1,500 miles to see a show. 

Yah me too. Seattle is only 80 miles away in a straight line but it involved gas, ferries, an international border and not driving in a straight line.   Still not at the point the tickets cost more than the transportation/hotels.

$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...

Fake news bro 

🤦‍♂️ 

What part of what I said is fake news bro?

Wearing mask @ the beacon is fake news.

stop spreading misinformation, your’re already embarrassing yourself enough. 

When did I mention the Beacon? I was talking about the Auditorium Theater in Chicago.

He is correct. Although the email and ticketmaster has the standard generic covid language, the Auditoriums website does state masks are required.

3 nights there last month for MMJ. Had to show proof of vax and wear a mask to get in but 99% of the fans had beers/drinks each night and didn't wear their masks for the entirety of the sets. Mask wearing wasn't enforced at all.

This is kind of my point...why have a requirement when it's not enforced? And if so many people are so concerned about this then why would 99% of people not be wearing a mask? The answer... optics and herd mentality. People are so easily influenced by what others do and say they can't get out of their own way to conform.  Look no further than the person driving alone in their car wearing a mask.  That says it all to me.

It's theater! Enjoy the show;)

If they are charging Hamilton prices then they should lottery the first two rows for $20 tickets.

That is a seriously great point & great idea! They really SHOULD lottery a # of tix off as pairs at $20 or even $40/pair. I never did win the Hamilton lottery for the $10 tix, but I did wait in line ALL DAY one day for the standing room tix at $60/ticket, and we were right behind last row of orchestra, incredible viewpoint, but best of all there was NO ONE BEHIND US so my daughter & I lip synched and DANCED OUR ASSES OFF, and the ushers thought we were hysterical. Best use of $60.00 ever...

So yeah PJ, think about it, that's a great idea!

Jason P

$240 ... hmm ... how about $2 and a Casio?

Ed will ask for, and get, $199 for a lower level ticket at Auditorium Theater. That's the price of the meat. If you don't want steak for dinner keep walking down the meat aisle until you reach the hot dogs. You'll probably find Liam Gallagher there mumbling to himself.

Shout out to this guy for comparing the inevitable cover of “Hard Sun” to a steak dinner. 😂🤣

So, I'm sure I will get ripped for this, but here goes. Lots of people are balking at the $200 ticket price. Is $125 THAT much different? It's $75. Thats a crappy dinner out. This is a once in a few years concert. I understand not everyone is well off financially, I get it. It just seems that people waste $75 on much dumber things. And I am now ready for the "I need that $75 for rent". If so, I would say you probably shouldn't spend $125 either.

 Problem is it isn’t $200… it’s $235… so maybe just add in another $75 and make it $310.

Looked at the price of the tickets and decided that it was out of range for me and my gf. Sent the schedule to my older bro who is in a diff tax bracket but who is also busy constantly with family work etc..... To my shock and amazement he came back with we should totally go. So I'm in the lotto for night two of New York. If I get it that's my Christmas present from my gf. Expensive for sure but a road trip with my brother to New York to see ed will be a once in a lifetime thing.

Does anyone remember what the Taormina tickets were in 2017? They had cheaper priced tiered seats than this tour but feel like the best seats were very similar to this price. 

 As a fan that travels everywhere to see them play the ticket price is the least of my worry for PJ. This being a theatre tour in small venues and the allstar cast of band members in this group it makes sense that the tickets are more than a ballpark or arena show. That said I have no desire to travel to see these shows but that has nothing to do with ticket prices. 

Robbert

I thought prices of the 2017 EV tour were all the same. Round 110 euros a ticket.

Ya maybe they were I can not remember and got tickets on the public sale for Taormina. I think I payed $500 for a pair though but am not sure.

Poltronissima Tribunetta Centrale Numerata in Taormina was $203 per Ticket including all fees. Would spend it any day again!

bzouiden

Agreed 200/seat is really high, about a 100/hour of entertainment.  I too am wondering what the next PJ tour looks like cost wise.  I mean I guess I paid 639 for 2 ohanaencore weekend passes this year so not too far off.  But that was 10 bands over 2 nights and 2 nights of pj and it was on a beach.

I can go to any "theater" show on Broadway right now for less than a hundred bucks.

also agreed I have found myself more disappointed with Eddie this year.  Not that it matters or that he should give a shit what I think. but yep the elton duet thing (better than the Brandi and elton song), private party in a zoo in texas, now 200/seat for his solo show. Probably Trumps fault.

Travelling is 1/2 the fun! I even do lots of solo trips. And I feel like I can eat like a king because I spend less than what I would on a meal for 2.

15 years ago today I was in Hawaii to see PJ. 18 hours of flight for three nights on Oahu. But man, what a thrill that was. If I can save 0,75$ by buying two peanut butter jars instead of just one, I’ll do it. I’ll fill the gas tank wherever gas in cheaper. Grabbing coffee at the office rather than Starbucks since cheaper and quicker. But I do fly left and right anytime PJ or EV plays anywhere. To each their own spending and saving, and their own pleasure doing so.

Has anyone been able to see the odds on tickets? They usually have odds posted.

Agreed, steak for me right now would be Pearl Jam at my local arena, or any arena I could get to for that matter; this... isn't steak.

3K capacity theaters are awesome, but this lineup does nothing for me, nor do the new songs Eddie's released for the new album. 


To each his own though, it's all subjective. Good luck getting tickets for those trying!

Rather the money go to him and the band rather than a scalper who will very much charge this amount for a seat.

scalpers will double up the price on secondary.  it may help a little, but scalpers are going to scalp and buyers are going to buy

These threads are pretty rough…surprisingly somehow the forum reads like Twitter…what happened?  Thank you Ed for getting out on the road.  Hoping to catch you in NYC/NJ.  Looking forward to the rescheduled PJ shows in Nashville and Amsterdam.

If its decreased demand due to the retail prices, the secondary market won't have much of a markup. Anecdotally, it seems like people are less interested in going at these prices. 

Or we're all sheep and people will will complain and still go.

Based on the responses in these threads I'd say the odds are extremely high.

My biggest gripe is lack of southeast dates and dates in general. Why not hit a bunch more cities? My only guess is the Earthlings will have more tours down the line. - and no way it’s a we don’t know the demand thing because it’s a modern day supergroup! They know they will sell them. 

Instead of charging more in order to play less, PLAY MORE and charge a little less. These guys barely have to work to survive anymore and they can’t be bothered to do at least 10 shows? 8 nights of their lives is all they got in them? Same with Pearl Jam honestly, the touring schedule is so light of late (covid reasons excluded). I know this just sounds like gimme gimme gimme, but I know they can give us more. Something we don’t know about holds them back. 

I would like to believe the band is putting their money where their mouth is. 

Hopefully they continue to avoid states that are too preoccupied with:

• overturning Roe v Wade
• minority oppression
• voter suppression
• baking cakes for homosexuals
• gendered bathrooms
• gun fetishization
• tax cuts for the wealthy
• privatizing health care
• and destroying public schools

(did I miss anything)

Price of these tickets could also be justified depending on what you think of the new album once it's released.

Well, the $179 tickets end up closer to $200.

That’s all fine and dandy, but they are only hurting their fans in these areas at the end of the day. They can get on that stage and start the show with a 10 minute rant and make more of a statement imo
