Eddie Vedder fan to fan face value marketplace?

I know the tickets aren't cheap, but the low demand for small venue shows is kind of crazy.   I guess covid is still having a big impact on peoples willingness to attend live music.

It really looks like the Newark orchestra and grand level seating was reserved for the platinum tickets, and the Ten Club seats are in tiers 1-4.   Mine are in tier 1.  How about other members?

I grabbed tier 1 for Newark for face (standard admission price) through TM the other day.  Wasn't a platinum or face-to-face exchange sale so I was happy.

These NYC platinum prices are just absolute bananaland. I have been watching prices like a hawk for about 10 days since I bought my platinum ticket. Never again! There's one for tomorrow night's show on TM right now, 11 rows from stage in Orchestra 2, nearly the middle of the theater for $350 all in. Meanwhile good people paid $1k+ to sit in the damn balcony.  How did TM not sell a ticket in the 11th row until the day before the show?!?!  Why not sell the 11th row seat for $1500 a few weeks ago and sell the balcony seats for $300 when prices were dropping? I know there are people smarter than me behind this but I just imagine I'm going to see a lot of empty seats tomorrow night. Oh wait, maybe I'll sneak up and stand at one.

What pisses me off the most is they only trickled out the hold backs. If it’s dynamic and based on supply and demand, put the entire supply out and not hold back. That would allow people to watch the availability and weigh the price. The way they did it was release ~ a dozen at a time when they were holding more than 100 (at least it seems about that many).

I would agree that I've seen at least 50 different tickets, both platinum and verified fan / normal sale. You think they have as many as 100 as hold backs?

They were popping up in every orchestra section. Different tickets every day, at times there were almost 2 entire rows available.

At least for the Chicago shows, lots of the boxes look like they became available - guessing those are based off Auditorium Theatre donors choosing not to attend the shows. Definitely a good chunk of balcony and dress circle also becoming available in waves the past few weeks - nothing in the way back though as I’m betting those were set aside for Verified Fan.

count me in as one of the idiots. expensive lesson learned. at least my 1k ticket is row A. I guess front row balcony is a positive. but its been a real bummer seeing the prices roll out at 300 and less for a seat. 

after getting shut out of the fan club seats and TM verified, I thought for sure that was going to be my only opportunity to grab a ticket. especially for beacon theatre no less. 

I'm getting pumped for the show, but this won't ever leave the back of my mind...

Letting it be a lesson for all of us when the next tour is announced.

Simply put

don’t buy platinum.

or wait it out, knowing there's a shit tonne in reserve and decent tickets will probably show up for lower prices by the sale date.

The other lesson from these Vedder tickets is don’t buy unless you are 100% going to attend.  At this moment there are 170+ tickets remaining on Stubhub for each New York and tomorrow’s show has tickets as low as $150 each. That means the seller will actually lose a little money on those. 

For Chicago, Stubhub has 500+ tickets remaining for each show, with tickets as low as $88. The $88 pair seem to be $159 face value, which would have cost the buyer around $180 each with fees. Once Stubhub takes their fees, the seller will lose $85-90 per ticket.

far worse are the Fan To Fan only cities, where you cannot price below face value, thus some people are likely going to lose everything they paid.

I live 25 minutes from NJPAC and tried to get thru 10club and verified fan and failed. I'm pricing it out now and I'm still over $500 for a pair I like (back row, at least no one behind you) with fees. Too much.

I think the lesson, which has been true for every sporting event the past year as well, is don't buy until day of the event. If I go to NJPAC, ill probably decide last minute, and only if prices come down.

The truth would be with Uber to and from, drinks, merch almost 1k night.
