For a frame of reference Aerosmith pricing plus fees for farewell tour in Louisville.
 
Also dynamic pricing and price bump for aisle seats

You are probably posting this to make the case that PJ represents excellent value.  Which they do.  However, the Aerosmith pricing is actually more fair.  If you’re in the nosebleeds or behind the stage you don’t pay as much as someone in the best seats in the house.  At the very least I would like to see PJ introduce two price points.  Something simple like add $20 to the price of lowers and subtract $20 from uppers, or some similar numbers that would leave total revenue the same.  That way if someone gets dumped into an upper in the draw at least it buys a couple of beers for their misfortune.  

I was thinking maybe they could do something like that, but then they would probably need to split up the reserved choice to lower and upper, like they did with rear/side. Making this more complicated is probably not a great idea considering they can't handle it the way it is now, heh.

Markets matter. In Seattle the light blue STARTS at $175. Orange is $275-399. Those are venue presale prices with no fees. 

I'd be fine with tiered pricing, but there are a lot of people that wouldn't be. People already complain about the current price point. Which is more than a fair price.

For St Paul, I got floor left, row 1, seats 1 and 2 for night one, and floor left, row 10 seats 1 and 2 for night two.  I doubt that I'll be able to keep my seats, which is unfortunate (been in the club since 1999) and my seats certainly couldn't get better.  That was a perk of being in the club for 20+ years.  I miss the old days of sending money orders for two tickets to one show.

PJ has done tiered pricing for different seating levels before without any issues.  Wrigley for example had 3 options:  GA and Field/Lower were one price and Upper was a lower price.  They can do this and they should.

I don't think they utilized the tiered pricing for the fan club though, did they?

And the reason why I'm against it is I don't see them lowering any tickets, just raising the prices on the better ones. How is that better for the fans?

Yes they did. 

Shows with EV have had it too. Taormina for sure had it.

Yes the fan club seats were different price levels ... and you prioritized knowing that.  Many people chose not to go for the upper levels because they were "too far away".

But would you be for it if they did? That's what we are suggesting. Obviously if they aren't going to lower any prices then it's better to keep it the way it is.

If it meant more of the good seats got into 10C hands as opposed to PJ Premium then yes I would be for it.  I'd rather pay a reasonable uptick for a really good seat as opposed to see the jacked up PJ Premium prices.

Depends on the price difference and where the show is.
 if I have to make a weekend of it, travel, stay in a hotel, makes sense to spend an extra $20 and get better seats. If its close by, I'd probably still spend the extra $20.
If its $100 though, probably not.

Either way, I only see this going one way. Good seats will be more, bad seats will be the same price, nothing will be less. So nobody should be wanting this.

I feel like I am in an endless loop of the beginning of Corduroy— the waiting for ticket news is driving me mad.  Put us out of our misery and let us know our seats.

I'm sure someone else may have mentioned it, but yesterday I received  ticketstoday emails about being refunded for duplicate Chicago show purchases (due to resubmission). So, I think they are untangling things. Hopefully more info soon.

Are they charging us again for this? Is everyone getting a refund/recharge? That's kind of ridiculous if they are.

I think it’s ok to give fans the options of different ticket prices let the fan choose how much they are willing to pay!

This is all a bit ridiculous...high time for the band, management and Ticketmaster to acknowledge they messed this up and move on. U2 just sold roughly 300K tickets for their Vegas residency (at a brand new venue no less) with nary an issue. U2 have a massive fan club with presale obligations to manage...yet they did so deftly and with clarity.
