    I can’t believe how many seats there are in the 300 level available on the Ticketmaster site for CHI for both night. Was hoping to upgrade since I had to bail on both MN shows due to surgery.

    Thats why they need tiered pricing. If those were $100 they’d sell 
  • darwinstheorydarwinstheory Posts: 6,275
    I think that's why they agreed to allow for premium pricing to "get 10C more tickets."

    These 300 levels are sold to us wack job 10C members and they very well may not have been sold otherwise. Butts might not be in the seats, but they can call it a sell out and maintain they got the most alloted fan club seats to date. 

    I don't like this set up. I prefer the fewer, but better 10C seats than the everyone gets to be in the building, but be prepared with binoculars method.

    No PJ Premium crap, and the band still makes a hefty profit. Maybe set aside a few pairs for a Vitalogy auction, but no more Premium/Platinum B.S.

    (and let fans set the price at what they paid, or lower. That way, people who are OK taking a hit...can.)

    P.S. all prices AFTER taxes & fees. Out the door/in the arena price.

    I just finished “Running with the Devil” which made me think about this. Bands don’t like seeing empty seats in the house. Maybe when you get to the big time it does not matter as much anymore. I mean this is an Arena type tour. If there were smaller venues and more shows per night that 10 club members to go to would that be better? I don’t know what the answer is. You can’t please everyone. But maybe people just got fed up and are saying I am not paying that. It just looks like a lot of empty seats.At the end of the day I am just happy they are playing live again. Both of my seats are in the 300’s and I think I have been in for 14 years. Still looking forward to it and I hope everyone just has a good time!

    Front of house 300 level seats in Chicago were likely to sell, but they were likely to sell to casual fans who were unlikely to wait in hours-long merch lines.

    Transfer them over to another TM account that you own then put them up on fan to fan. They will be $122. I would only do this if you know yours won’t sell.

    That's true for resale but there are standard tickets that never sold in the first place. And even for the Texas shows we're seeing behind the stage and uppers starting to accumulate on resale. If the less desirable seats were priced lower to begin with, like Indy lawn, every seat would sell and people wouldn't be eating all these resale tickets or have to find ways to lower the price. If Indy lawn tickets were $151 like every other seat they'd eventually stop selling too. At $81 there are a lot more people willing to buy 

    St Louis Cardinals get 40,000 attendance every game because there's a price point for all fans. 400 level in the outfield is $10. If they followed the PJ model and the price to sit in the upper deck was the same as the price to sit behind home plate, the upper deck would be empty every game.

    They already sold those less desirable seats though at a higher price. We all know they do not give two shits if they sell again especially if they are not making any fees on them as is the case here.

    I know you buy a tickets for a lot of different bands. Have you ever seen TM allow you to sell below face value on their verified resale platform? I have not and the message you always get is the event organizer set it up that way taking the blame off TM. If it is Pearl Jam that is doing this and not TM's resale platform why would they do something that was not so fan friendly aside from just trying to sell more unsold Premium or standard tickets...

    We used to have to eat 10C tickets if we could not make the show so they have made some good strides since then. Still has room for improvement though.  

    Behind the stage definitely needs to be lowered in price. If a show that is a top 5 North American market can't sell out two shows they are doing something wrong.


    Edit: I guess also the difference with this band and most of the other bands is the only way we can resell any of their tickets (aside from states that allow transfers) is through their resale platform. This does not allow an overpriced ticket (in the current market) to be sold again at all and thats the complaint I guess. If they wanted to keep fan to fan and force people to sell on that platform I agree there should definitely be an option to lower the price.

If the less desirable seats were priced lower to begin with, like Indy lawn, every seat would sell and people wouldn't be eating all these resale tickets or have to find ways to lower the price. If Indy lawn tickets were $151 like every other seat they'd eventually stop selling too. At $81 there are a lot more people willing to buy 

    St Louis Cardinals get 40,000 attendance every game because there's a price point for all fans. 400 level in the outfield is $10. If they followed the PJ model and the price to sit in the upper deck was the same as the price to sit behind home plate, the upper deck would be empty every game. 
    They already sold those less desirable seats though at a higher price. We all know they do not give two shits if they sell again especially if they are not making any fees on them as is the case here.

    I know you buy a tickets for a lot of different bands. Have you ever seen TM allow you to sell below face value on their verified resale platform? I have not and the message you always get is the event organizer set it up that way taking the blame off TM. If it is Pearl Jam that is doing this and not TM's resale platform why would they do something that was not so fan friendly aside from just trying to sell more unsold Premium or standard tickets...

    We used to have to eat 10C tickets if we could not make the show so they have made some good strides since then. Still has room for improvement though.  

    Behind the stage definitely needs to be lowered in price. If a show that is a top 5 North American market can't sell out two shows they are doing something wrong.


    Edit: I guess also the difference with this band and most of the other bands is the only way we can resell any of their tickets (aside from states that allow transfers) is through their resale platform. This does not allow an overpriced ticket (in the current market) to be sold again at all and thats the complaint I guess. If they wanted to keep fan to fan and force people to sell on that platform I agree there should definitely be an option to lower the price. 
    A significant amount of the 300-level sales for Chicago were blind purchases by 10c members through the lottery. If the seat locations were revealed in advance, many would have passed. Maybe all of the same seats still would have sold through the regular sale but it seems pretty clear that at least some areas like rear stage uppers are overpriced. 

    I don't recall TM not having a price floor for concert resale but for situations like that when you need to take a loss you can use a competitor site that doesn't have the minimum. Can't do that here other than Chicago. For sports, they don't always have a minimum resale price, or if they do it is often below the standard price, presumably to accommodate season-ticket holders.

    I've got a pair for StP n2 sec 116 row 3 available if someone wants to set up a drop. 
    I’d love to coordinate on a drop. I’m short and my 10c is on floor.

    Thats why they need tiered pricing. If those were $100 they’d sell 
    There is a way to drop the price 

    Transfer them over to another TM account that you own then put them up on fan to fan. They will be $122. I would only do this if you know yours won’t sell. 
    That's true for resale but there are standard tickets that never sold in the first place. And even for the Texas shows we're seeing behind the stage and uppers starting to accumulate on resale.

    Great point about the blind 10C 300 level purchases and also forcing GA selections to be tied to them.
