2023 Eddie Vedder Solo Shows at Benaroya Hall

You can do that in the US, but a charity concert ticket and write it off?  That's amazing.   I don't think I can do that here in Canada (I don't believe a contribution slip gets generated which is what we need here to claim a charitable donation).

I have noticed they've started posting platinums, and they are moving, and they post more when they sell out (so normal platinum stuff).   Maybe there's hope for affordable tickets closer to the show dates.

Do we know when Fan2Fan will open for these shows?

if you go to filters, "face value ticket exchange" is available, but there are never tickets in that category.

I’m betting f2f will be very limited for these shows, maybe a few during the days leading up to show.

I don't think it's active. I have tickets for the 2nd show, and I keep clicking on the sell button (just to see if it's active yet).   I get this:

Resale for this event has not been turned on by the Event Organizer

I don't think it's actually turned on yet. They're also starting to try to sell platinum tickets, so if it's anything like the PJ shows or last year EV shows, they might wait a while to try and sell more platinum tickets.   Not that I think that many actually went to 10c or the general public, so I'm not sure how many will show up when it does open up.

edit: I'm not trying to sell my night 2 tickets, I was just trying the feature so I'd know when verified fan was open, so I could keep an eye out for night 1 tickets

I’m looking for pairs for both nights and can pay $500each if anyone has anything available.

This was SUCH a bad idea.  All it did was drive up the price.  I get the desire to stave off scalpers but coooome on.... $1800 tix... WTF.

Zod

Yah, there's not much moving for tickets.  They've posted small amounts of Platinum tickets for $800/each a few times, but not that many.  They've been getting bought up.   Seems like they're still holding onto a bunch for sponsership promos that might trickle down to platinum later on (and face value if they don't sell as platinum).   These shows seem way way harder to get tickets too than last years shows (most likely because covid was more a thing last feb).

Fingers crossed that I can snag a pair for night 1 before the show.

I'm also surprised they don't turn on verified fan if there's no platinum tickets.  Why not let people blow out the tickets they don't want if there's no competing tickets right now.  Would love to scoop up some n1 tickets

Also, where I don't get the $1800 thing.  I haven't seen any $1800 tickets yet? And what drove them up to that?

THETONYCLIFTON

Please tell me they will be cheaper next month…

You cannot legally deduct the cost of a ticket to a charitable event under U.S. tax law.* If someone deducted money they spent on tickets to these shows from their 2023 income and they were audited by state or federal tax authorities, the deduction would be disallowed.

*Except to the extent that you received nothing of tangible value in return for the donation, but that exception would not apply to these tickets.
