Bang for your buck? seating vs pricing

CM189191

10C Members - are you happy with your seats?  Think you paid a fair price?  Curious to know how people are feeling...

What about disappointed with my seats and think the price was too high.  The price I paid should have put me in better seats, not pay more for better seats.

Yes, this.  Disappointed in the ticket prices and disappointed in my seats.  I would be fine with the Price if they were close to my "Normal" 10C seats, but not for 300 level.

Am I behind the stage? Yes. Am I happy to have my tickets before the absolutely overpriced crap show starts with the general public? Absolutely.

Not thrilled with my seats, definitely worse than I've ever had from 10C before, but they're not that bad and they're a hell of a lot better than no seats at all. Anything I would pull in the general sale would certainly be worse, unless I sprung for premium which I refuse to do.

Satisfied with the tickets I got for both St. Paul shows.

This is us as well. 100 and 200 level side/behind stage Chicago tickets will be a lot more than face on secondary sites.

This. I would not have put in for three shows at this price tag if I had known seniority membership seating wasn’t going to be honored. I’m actually more pissed than excited for the first time in 30 years of going to see this band. $160 per ticket to not honor the rules (that the band & 10c made) is completely unacceptable and unprofessional

It looks like it!  I appreciate 10c issuing a statement and trying to make things right

After they reassign these tix in the next few days, someone’s gotta do the following poll:

Now that seats have been reassigned, are yours 
A) better
or 
B worse?

Prices are high but i have a great 10club number and i am not about to start complaining now......... unless they reassign my tickets and fuck me on all fours.

Good luck "verified fans"

Yep. The prices are higher than I'm used to and my seats are worse than I'm used to.

Looking back to last tour, I paid $121 in January of 2020. Using an inflation calculator, that would be $142 today. So, yeah, they're higher, but I think that's the case for concerts across the board. Venues and promoters are charging more to make up for lost revenue, and there's probably additional costs in our new reality. Not saying I'm happy paying more, but it is what it is. Relative to other big concerts, the prices we're getting for GA and floor and 100 level are absolute steals. The tickets I had in the back of the 100 level were well over $200 after fees for Blink-182, and resale prices were higher than that for even 300 level.

I can’t wait for this to be over. My god people love to complain. They made it pretty clear you would have worse seats than normal. You knew demand would be crazy high. I’m happy to just have tickets so I don’t have to worry about it. If I have a chance to upgrade then great. Everyone will be able to upgrade if they really want to. Just look out on F2F. Chilllllll my friends. 

After what happens the other day, you know how many bands would’ve done jack shit, 99.9% of them. Y’all can walk away anytime, it is just a band after all. Peace and love peace and love

Based on absolutely nothing other than pure speculation, I predict 2 shows will be added: IN & TX

That sounds like option 2. You're okay with the price if it were better seats.

I can't respond to this poll until we know our new seats.

Except that’s not option 2

I somehow got option 1, so obviously happy. But even so, the “(also, fuck dynamic premium pricing)” should be at the end of all the options.

What is fair price? Band has been around for 30+ years, sell out every show. They could/should charge a lot more at their age, reputation. We as fans for 30 years, should have more money than we did in high school. People complain about pricing then spend a fortune on a poster. Lawn ticket at Alpine 2000 was like $20. They could have charged $60 then. 

Kevinman

Do I enjoy seeing Pearl Jam?  Love it!  Do I have more money than I did in high school?  Absolutely!  Do I have higher priorities now than I did in high school which make me contemplate the spending more?  Absolutely!  

So all that considered, yes I still wish the prices were lower and despite how much I love seeing this band, I’m not sure it will align with my priorities much longer.  In high school I didn’t have much money but this band was my number 1 priority when it came to concerts, not any longer….which is my reasoning for wishing prices were lower.  I understand why they are where they are at, and I don’t expect them to be lower.  Cheers and keep rocking!

When tickets top $200, I'll probably stop going. With this tour, I was half hoping I wouldn't win the one ticket I requested. 

For me, the real financial crunch is the travel. I commented in another thread that with a 22-song set list, the St Paul trip so far comes out to a little over 50 dollars per song. There are some songs that are not worth that to me.

That’s probably my $$ stop too.  The last couple times and this tour also I’ve switched to 1 show.  Going 9/5 in Chicago, I never would have dreamed of missing a night in Chicago in the past but the last shows at Wrigley and this year I’ve cut back due to costs.

I didn't go for tickets for this tour, curious, what are the prices?

I guess I am not sure where I am sitting since we are getting reassigned again.  But how many tours are left, just happy to there.
