What’s the word for cubs season ticket holders?

Seeing the prices already posted on reseller sites I think I'll just check all the 10C presale boxes and try to get in the building. Pit is $1800.

I really don't understand how some of you think these prices are normal. Maybe it's a US vs Europe thing? Because they are absolutely outrageous for the UK market.

London prices are £160 for a single ticket. Taylor Swift is playing the Wembley Stadium this summer and obviously it's sold out. But after some googling, I found these pre-sale ticket prices:

Seated ticket – £58.65 – £194.75
General admission standing – £110.40
Front standing – £172.25.

And this is Taylor Swift. Whether you like her or not, you have to admit she's probably the most popular act in the world right now. Smashing Pumpkins are playing some UK dates this summer as well. They are playing arenas, not stadiums, but as far as I can tell, the standing tickets for Birmingham were around £85 - £95.

How are we expected to pay £160 for a "it might be GA or it might be 3rd tier seating in the back" ticket? You don't even know what you're paying for!

Phish kind of does the same thing with their lottery. You get great seats or you can get lawn tickets at sheds. No option to only pick good seats. At least for the show I put in I know I'm either getting a GA ticket or a lower level seat. I'll take my chances on a Monday night show in Sacramento that I'll be pleased with my seats. I actually expect to get GA and if not, a section close to the stage.

$296.94 for one ticket here in Australia. Fuck me. 

I guess I should have put $1 a week in my piggy bank for each of the 524 weeks since they last played here...

That’s about $190 USD? A tiny bit more than tickets in US but slightly lower than the average concert these days. Concerts are expensive

Tool was much more, and Ticketmaster used extremely deceptive practices the day the tickets went on sale, making it appear as if the 100s were almost sold out when they weren’t, so they could sell platinum.

The toughest part of PJ ticket policy is the best seats and the worst seats are usually the same exact price. At least now there is a slight difference in cost.

Im surprised no UBS Arena for NY shows

are they doing shows there?

saw Pumpkins/Janes there a year ago......it was pretty good, great PA system

did Isles Game 2 weeks ago with Verizon club/ free food n booze thru work...was glorious

My son is a huge isles fan. I need to get him to a game but man what a bitch it is to get there from central Jersey.  

I finally got there in December when I was home in Brooklyn for Christmas, and I was pleased at how easy it was to get there from Brooklyn. I took the LIRR from Atlantic Avenue and was there in about 35 minutes.

It might be US vs Europe? This is a completely normal ticket price for a US arena/stadium show.

I think some people were asking about Early Entry. On the following TM tour info page there is an FAQ at the bottom:
https://blog.ticketmaster.com/pearl-jam-tour-2024/

One of the questions:

What is the GA Pit or Reserved - Standing or Seating option?

Select this option if you are willing to stand in GA or sit through the show as you may be selected for either. If selected for GA standing tickets, you will receive early entry at a predetermined GA only door, at venues where early entry is permitted. If selected for Reserved Seating, your tickets will be assigned based on seniority in Ten Club.

GA is early entry compared to seats, yes. There won’t be a early entry GA and a regular entry GA.

Is that confirmed somewhere?
That FAQ I referenced seems specifically related to 10 Club Pre-sale:
 (heading is"

How to Get Tickets
Pearl Jam Ten Club Members-Only Presale
powered by Ticketmaster Request

").

In London for example there is a GA Front Standing area that is part of the 10 Club Pre-sale, but behind that, the rest of the pitch/floor is shown as GA Pit but not available in the 10 Club pre-sale so will be part of the general sale and I am assuming from the FAQ that the early entry only refers to the Front Standing 10 Club GA area.

Concert tickets have been spiking in price every tour for most big acts, it’s not a gradual increase. I think it’s finally hit my tipping point where I can’t justify travelling to shows

I get that the PJ 2022-shows were pre-covid and inflation 2020-priced. So there would be a hike in price.

But I paid alooooot less for Rolling Stones in 2022, Taylor Swift this year and Bruce Springsteen last year. And those acts do not have the fan-friendly guise of Pearl Jam. I paid less to sit at the front row of a Bob Dylan show, and his crowd are well-off SAAB-driving intellectuals looking for a nice night out.

And the only major artist more fan-friendly than Swift is probably Garth Brooks.

Robert Smith has entered the chat.

I'm not getting the Cure reference. Enlighten me.

Last year's Cure tour. Smith insisted all tickets sold at reasonable face value. No resale tix. No Platinum Tix. No PJ Premium tix. No dynamic pricing. When some cheap tix were sold with TM fees that were very high compared to tix prices (lawn seats I believe), he got TM to refund most of the TM fees.
Proved that artist has final say, the Platinum and dynamic pricing are approved by the artist, including our boys and Mr. Springsteen and all the rest. They could opt not to participate if they were OK making less money just like Smith did.

That would be correct. For a city like Barcelona though it looks like GA is equal on the whole floor.

I'm confused on the Seattle seating chart. Club 1, 26, 14 & 15 are not available?

That looks right. I would guess they're being reserved for Kraken season ticket holders and Climate Pledge donors/sponsors.

Ok. But what about MSG ?

That is Blanking nuts. 

Where are those grey section tickets going and how are they being sold? Is that for the general sale? seems like years past 10C seats had a lot of those.

Yes, in LA and MSG, both venues often played by the band, the 10C seats will be radically different on this tour than previous ones. I have a 5 digit number and if I'm not GA, I've always been the first side section on either side. This time, low numbers who don't get pit will presumably be placed front rows on the floor behind the pit.

hihobibo

With the lack of a GA only option and no priority picks, it creates a situation where a lot of traveling lottery winners end up putting their tickets into f2f fairly early, as people try for more shows than they normally would in hopes of scoring GA to something. This dilutes the benefit of the 10 Club because now these tickets are out in the secondary market for anyone, while those who would have prioritized those tickets get shut out.

JBob87

I know I’m just yelling into the void but it really is so infuriating how far downhill 10c ticketing has gone, so quickly. 

Comparing this lotto to 2016 even is just laughable. 

arkiley660

I still haven't received a confirmation email....should I be concerned? I have a receipt number.

The artist always has the final decision and the pricing is set in conjunction with the promoter based on the financial terms for the show. And there is no confusion over what Bruce thought. He did an interview with Rolling Stone in November 2022 where he told Andy Greene that he was fully aware of the pricing and signed off on it.

However how many of his tickets went straight to his own fan club? That’s the rub. If PJ bailed on the tickets allocated to TC than they could possibly negotiate other things. If the tickets continue to be sub par like last year maybe bail.
i prefer Tool’s way of doing things. VIP to their fan club
pay for what you want.

Well this system is such an improvement on the previous 10C one OR this ticketmaster system is 10C giving up and you wonder what 10C membership is worth anymore. Apart from a shitty euro tour missing many great cities ( No Amsterdam Prague Vienna Budapest Copenhagen Krakow Stockholm or any in Italy) the registration success (unlike the lottery win in 10C) does not guarantee a ticket only access to the sale?

josevolution

I live here in NY good luck getting tickets to MSG! Corporate greed I hope they have the nerve to breakout Green desease at the show!
