    $4,756 before fees this morning. A new record. 
    I thought @PJNB had posted when they were over $5K before fees

    I didn't see that. Maybe? Or maybe I blocked it out. 

    Legitimately was stunned by Paul McCartney's $3,500 Fenway tickets a few weeks ago and now my favorite band has blown that price away.

    another block of 12 seats in section 104 for Camden are you for $1,150 a piece.  Camden was holding steady with about 40 platinum seats, now they are up to 52. Most being in section 104
    can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?

    PJ Premium and Platinum is a game.  List only a few tickets at a time to trick people into scarcity and buying.  

    If it keeps fan club prices down then fine with me.

    I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm skeptical about how low fan club prices will be the next time we get a tour announcement. Time will tell.

    It’s manipulating the market. It’s bullshit. They create the market, then capitalize as much as possible. Holding back tickets and creating scarcity to drive prices up is fucking dishonest and bullshit. I hate Ticketmaster more than I hate actual scalpers. This will be the reason why I don’t see concerts anymore besides a very small handful of acts. I’m not blaming bands because they literally have no other OPTIONS when it comes to playing live shows.

    This is well stated and an accurate portrayal of where things are at.  They string you along until the show gets closer and closer, making the desperate fan feel like they have to pull the trigger if they want to see their favorite band.  I wish people would just not buy the premium tickets as it seems that is the only way to make any sort of change.  

    And waiting until the day of for ticket drops doesn't work for a large portion of people who travel for PJ shows.  If it's in your hometown or a 2-3 hour drive, sure. But when you have to factor in hotels and all of that, it's hard to pull the trigger on that stuff without tickets in hand.  Sucks all the way around.

    Wow. I get the economics and I get the potential need, but this really is such a bad look.

    Releasing more premium seats in the 100s in Camden is a really bad look. So so many 10c members with really low numbers way back in the 200s. And as expected this was because so many of the good seats, not just "a handful" are held back for the premium BS shell game.

    Really hope this isn't the new norm on future tours.

    Highly doubt they would go back now that the cork is out of the bottle.
    It's here to stay I fear.

    3 months of mortgage for a show.  Better get a reach around too.

    I was toying with the idea of adding LA2, and looked at tickets on TM.  The regularly priced tickets still require VF code.  LA1 and LA2 are the only shows in May requiring VF code.  Has anyone else noticed this?  What could be the explanation for this?
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Crazy!  Seems like just yesterday I was hemming and hawing over spending $400 for side stage at MSG.  Now it's $1g for behind stage in the balcony.
