How much do you think tickets will be on the next tour?

Canadian tickets were $150 for the 2020/22 shows in Toronto and Hamilton. I'm going to get priced out soon. Zero chance I pay anything close to $475 for a pair of tickets. They're my all-time favourite band and the shows are always great, yet that's not a price I'm willing to pay. We'll see how things play out. Be well everyone

Ed's prices were more than I was willing to pay. Relieved actually to see that tour skip Boston. Made the decision much easier. 

Yep. had my buddy ask if we should try for NYC EV tix and my response was "not for nearly $500 a pair".
No local show was probably a blessing that time.

The tickets in 2022 I remember being noticeable "expensive" (Budapest, Prague, Copenhagen) compared to what I have paid for similar shows here in Sweden.

Are they really at the low end of the spectrum?

Maybe I'm misremembering. 

Could be regional but if they came in at 150/ticket for Boston that would definitely be low end for arenas and up. I can't claim to look at every show on the calendar, but it would be the lowest of any I've seen scheduled this year.

When I saw Ed at the Auditorium Theatre 13 months ago, I paid $475ish for that pair. I would expect similar for the next new Pearl Jam tour.

Ed's tickets have always been more than a PJ show.

I was going to say the same thing - going back to the first EV tours in 2008, he’s always charged a comparable amount to what Pearl Jam shows cost.

Yep.  The main difference is the venues.  Aside from festivals, Eddie's solo shows are usually in smaller venues/theatres whereas the full PJ band is playing arenas and stadiums.

Going to be between $300 and $400 per pair, all in with fees.

$165 per ticket after fees - $40 uptick from 2020. 

Purely based on pricing of Metallica tickets which were $340 for a two night ticket (170 per night) for lower bowl good face value seats.

That is my guess. Closer to the $300 end.

My guess is closer to and maybe over the $400 end with fees.

I just can't bring myself to spend  the going rate for PJ shows that won't compare to any PJ shows I have seen when the tickets cost half as much.  Not to mention the likely travel and associated hotel costs.  Unless they play in Austin with tix at or below $150, I probably won't be seeing them again.  Now if they drop a surprise late career masterpiece I will throw all my reservations in the trash and spend big money for a reinvented PJ with a fresh new sound.

I'll keep going.  They're in or, about to be in their 60s.   Not sure how long they'll get to tour for.   If I love long enough I'll be an old man with money in the bank account with no concert tickets to buy.   I'll keep going if I'm able.

I still expect PJ to be on the lower end of ticket prices, it's just that the whole industry has gone bonkers, so the lower end isn't really that cheap anymore.

I mostly agree, except with the shorter shows and higher prices the value for going to multiple isn’t there as much as it used to be.

I’m capping my self to $180 per ticket after fees and would only do two shows and only if they are within driving distance of 4 hours from me!

The short shows thing is weird.  Basically we had 2013 to 2018 (5 to 6 years) of the 3 hour barn burners, but the current lengths are where they were most of the time (except tickets used to be cheaper).

I suppose the current challenge is 3 hour+ setlists allowed many of us to get our white whales.   With regular sized sets, once they play the staples, there's only so much room for rarities, covers and non-singles.

I never got to that many shows anyways (at least not by how I compare myself to other board members).   Usually Vancouver and Seattle area shows.  The odd time I'll do a trip (like Oakland last year), but generally it means there's a few shows to see every few years.

I see myself sticking to that.  I find if I go to too many, I start taking it for granted.   I don't seem to have the tolerance other people have for multiple shows.  I start loathing the repeats by the 3rd show

Yeah I’ve felt like that before doing 5 or 6 shows I found myself standing there and knowing what was coming next!

I’ve got to the point where I know exactly when in Alive they turn the lights on.

PJ semes like one of the last bands that charges the same price for being in the best seats and being in the worst seats.  I wonder if they'll ever give that up?
