    Indeed, I'll echo this here. I have managed to get really good day-of seats or even GA for EVERY SINGLE SHOW I HAVE EVER WANTED TO GO TO, despite losing their lotteries (though I'll admit I never even tried for any of the MSG shows).

  • Definitely don’t buy Platinums for any show, but I think people are dreaming if they think Miami will pop up at face value. Every other show sure, 100% will happen. Miami, no way. Those platinums will sell, maybe when they go down a few hundred, or the casino will give them to high rollers or some shit. That venue is 1/3 the size of others AND in a city people want to go to separate from PJ

    They'll have day-of holds released on 04/24 & 04/26. Won't be a lot, but it'll happen.

    And all blue dots that are Premium will fall to $190 by 5pm each day. 

    But, I can't stop the panic 😅

    Fingers crossed for all of you trying to get into Miami. I've got friends down there in the same boat. Told them to hold the line and wait, but this ones gonna be brutal. Sucks that they didn't also play Tampa/Orlando if they were gonna take the Hard Rock money (and I definitely don't blame em for that)

    Yup.  I still like the shows but this is Pearl Jam playing 23-25 songs.  Anyone paying $1000/show is nuts.

    We’ve seen the playbook - when fan to fan opens, people that bought $800+ seats will try to sell, and TM will release slightly better seats at a lower price.  
    Today is likely the peak of prices and they will get less expensive.  

    Were there any FL tickets today at $195 or whatever face value is?

  • I know people who think paying 200 a ticket to a concert is crazy. I probably would have thought it myself a few years ago.
    if people want to go premium for peace of mind, I understand.

    It's a false peace of mind, though. That's one of the main reasons why I advocate against it. There WILL be good seats available for each of theses shows (even Hollywood in a very limited capacity). Some require vigilance, others not so much (Raleigh will be an easy ticket).
    But there WILL be GA, Floor seats, Mike & Stone side tickets, decent lower bowl, and pretty good uppers. The whole system is designed to make you think there won't be. It's a work.
    I've studied every PJ show since 2022. I have receipts. I'm just letting people know they don't have to spend an arm & a leg for already inflated prices to see their favorite band.

    I desperately need two tickets for one of the Hollywood shows… 
    It gives me pain to listen to PJs music because of all the bad luck according to cancelled gigs and not getting tickets… I can‘t do this anymore

    So quick question… were all the PREMIUM seats originally just normal seats?  So when dynamic pricing kicked in, PREMIUM was added to the listing?  Or were they always PREMIUM.

    They were Standard for anywhere from a second, to a minute. And the more people who visited the listing for a show, the dynamic pricing would kick in & bump the price up.

    I can't speak for Hollywood, tho. Feels like those were pre-programmed to be high, and will be timed to go down by April.

    I bought four premium Florida seats together for night 2.  All four us were fine with it.  It also guaranteed all four of us could sit together.

    Now, any other city I wouldn’t have paid premium prices, but in my mind if PJ priced its tickets like other acts, they should have listed them for $400-$500. They were kind and left money on the table to sell at $200.

    Paying a $500 perceived and 800 actual premium in 2024 dollars isnt something I will lose sleep over.

    Also have tickets for all ten show, so paying premium for one show will be amortized over all ten in the grand scheme of the trip.  Again, not losing sleep.

    And that's fine. I'm not preaching to you. You've got the means, and were admittedly quite lucky with the lottery.
    But there are a lot of people on here who feel like it's their ONLY option to get into Hard Rock. I'm here to remind them that's it's not.
    If we choose not to buy Hollywood at it's current price on TM, they WILL fall to Standard by day of show. But I'm only on the Board here.
    We have fans discussing the same thing on social media, Reddit, and abroad who see the layout as it is currently & feel as if they better get in on it now. I wish they wouldn't cave, but alas...

    I won’t buy PJ premium, per the thread title.  K, now what?  Lol. ;)

    I came into this tour hoping for a pair for 4/24, bday show (I know WGAF haha), willing to pay something extra if it was available, but seriously, $900+ is insane.

    if someone wants to help me out, I’d appreciate it.  I once gave away a sealed Lost Dogs on here if that helps. Haha.  Not a big deal, I know I can wait a bit to see what drops etc, but I’d be nice to have tickets secured to make a definite travel plan.

    anyway.  Have a good weekend everyone and happy hunting.

    I won’t buy PJ premium, per the thread title.  K, now what?  Lol. ;)

    I came into this tour hoping for a pair for 4/24, bday show (I know WGAF haha), willing to pay something extra if it was available, but seriously, $900+ is insane.

    if someone wants to help me out, I’d appreciate it.  I once gave away a sealed Lost Dogs on here if that helps. Haha.  Not a big deal, I know I can wait a bit to see what drops etc, but I’d be nice to have tickets secured to make a definite travel plan.

    anyway.  Have a good weekend everyone and happy hunting.
    I'll be on the lookout for ya!

    I can’t believe that for a moment we considered premium for Hollywood but I just can’t allow myself to do it. Both to pay that much but also feed into the premium system. 
    I’m going to hope luck is on our side to get tickets for night 2. 
    The prices were ridiculous, over $1000 for the uppermost seats. 
    If not, anyone know if you can hear from outside 😂

  • Just wanted to say I’m glad this thread exists.  Outside of someone like Taylor Swift tickets to all shows are easy in the days leading up and generally some of the best seats in tue house become available. And if you can really sweat it out for PJ you’ll get in day of for <$100 if you don’t care where you sit (outside of Florida obvs).

    I bought four premium Florida seats together for night 2.  All four us were fine with it.  It also guaranteed all four of us could sit together.

    Now, any other city I wouldn’t have paid premium prices, but in my mind if PJ priced its tickets like other acts, they should have listed them for $400-$500. They were kind and left money on the table to sell at $200.

    Paying a $500 perceived and 800 actual premium in 2024 dollars isnt something I will lose sleep over.

    Also have tickets for all ten show, so paying premium for one show will be amortized over all ten in the grand scheme of the trip.  Again, not losing sleep.  
    And that's fine. I'm not preaching to you. You've got the means, and were admittedly quite lucky with the lottery.
    But there are a lot of people on here who feel like it's their ONLY option to get into Hard Rock. I'm here to remind them that's it's not.
    If we choose not to buy Hollywood at it's current price on TM, they WILL fall to Standard by day of show. But I'm only on the Board here.
    We have fans discussing the same thing on social media, Reddit, and abroad who see the layout as it is currently & feel as if they better get in on it now. I wish they wouldn't cave, but alas...
    FOMO is strong but the tickets have no utility in one’s wallet or Ticketmaster account until day of show. There’s no reason to panic by paying premium prices at this point thinking tickets won’t be available closer to show. No one is suggesting waiting until day of show although the option is viable. You can expect cheaper prices starting the week prior. You can be confident securing airfare and hotel reservations that are refundable if life has other plans. If you’d like to be in the venue for the show odds are in your favour.

    Anyone who pays for premium seats is out of their fucking mind. 

    Carry on
    Yup.  I still like the shows but this is Pearl Jam playing 23-25 songs.  Anyone paying $1000/show is nuts.

    We’ve seen the playbook - when fan to fan opens, people that bought $800+ seats will try to sell, and TM will release slightly better seats at a lower price.  
    Today is likely the peak of prices and they will get less expensive.  

    Were there any FL tickets today at $195 or whatever face value is?
    Not that I'm aware of
    Someone on FB carted $185 seats at hard rock toward the last rows and was like WTF! Lol. Passed I guess but good luck

    We ended up with nice front view lower bowl in PIT2.  Had 10c tix for both Wrigley shows this past summer and watched stubhub and F2F in detail every day multiple times per day.  

    I’m confident we’ll get floors or something solid for PIT1 on show day, and will wait until close to show time need be.

    this anticipation of the unknown is exciting.
