 Berlin kostet im gesamten Veranstaltungsort beim Vorverkauf für 10 Clubs 175 Euro, kein Unterschied. Wird der allgemeine Verkauf den gleichen Preis haben? 

Das würde mich auch interessieren...wir haben TenClub-Tickets für beide Tage reserviert, aber wird das funktionieren?? Was mich auch beunruhigt, ist die Tatsache, dass neuerdings zwischen dem Golden Circle oder einem Sitzplatz oder nur einem Sitzplatz unterschieden wird, obwohl der Preis für die Tickets gleich ist. In der Waldbühne wird es hoffentlich keine Sitzplatznummern geben, da es dort nur Sitzbankreihen gibt. Ich hoffe, dass es weiterhin möglich ist, einen Sitzplatz zu wählen, wie es bei den Konzerten 2018 und 2022 der Fall war...

Da wäre ich mir diesem Mal nicht so sicher. In den vergangen Jahren gab es auf der Waldbühne Berlin auch für die Ränge nur einen einzigen Bereich. Man konnte sich hinsetzen, wo man wollte. Der Saalplan Grafik im Ten Club Presale nach zu urteilen, wird der Sitzplatzbereich 2024 in Blöcke aufgeteilt. Und das wiederum macht es wahrscheinlich, da wie auch bei anderen Konzerten auf der Waldbühne die Sitzplätze klar nummeriert sind.

I wouldn't be so sure about that this time. In previous years, there was only one area for seating at the Waldbühne Berlin. You could sit wherever you wanted. Judging by the seating plan graphic in the Ten Club Presale, the seating area will be divided into blocks in 2024. And that in turn makes it likely, as the seats are clearly numbered, just like at other concerts on the Waldbühne.

Ich bin hier im Forum normalerweise eher die stille Mitleserin aber ich bin in in den deutschen Foren Festivals United und pearl-jam.de auf eine Info gestoßen, die hoffentlich nützlich ist.

Es haben ja schon einige darauf hingewiesen, dass der Saalplan für die Waldbühne eine Block-Aufteilung vermuten lässt und keine freie Platzwahl, wie bisher. 

Im pearl-jam.de Forum hat ein User Live Nation diesbezüglich angeschrieben und bekam folgende Antwort:

"Antwort gerade von Live Nation:

PJ Waldbühne hat nummerierte Sitzplätze, keine freie Platzwahl!
Es gibt weiter oben also im freien Verkauf auch günstigere Sitzplatz-Preise, wie genau konnte sie aber nicht sagen."

Hier der Link: https://www.pearl-jam.de/index.php/topic,8711.msg325949.html#new

I am usually a silent reader here in the forum, but I came across some information in the German forums Festivals United and pearl-jam.de that I hope will be useful.

Some have already pointed out that the seating plan for the Waldbühne suggests a block layout and not a free choice of seats, as was previously the case.

In the pearl-jam.de forum, a user wrote to Live Nation about this and received the following reply:

"Reply just in from Live Nation:

PJ Waldbühne has numbered seats, no free seating!

So there are also cheaper seat prices further up in the free sale, but they couldn't say exactly how."

Here is the link: https://www.pearl-jam.de/index.php/topic,8711.msg325949.html#new

I found something else at Helpster regarding the Waldbühne seating plan:

There is a seating plan for the ranks, which are divided into blocks. The tickets become cheaper as you sit in the higher ranks.

The price category of the tickets depends on the seating plan

The seating plan is divided into blocks A to L, plus the interior space. You get the most expensive tickets for blocks A to E, but it is cheaper in the upper ranks I to L.

When purchasing tickets, it is not always possible to choose exactly which block you would like to sit in. It depends on the type of event. There are no seat tickets; you can freely choose your seat within your block.

Has anyone ever had a charge decline when they try to charge the card for the presale?
This is my first presale so I'm a bit nervous that it'll decline. As someone who used to work in card services for an irish bank I know its pointless calling them up to notify them of the charge as they'll do nothing so I'm a bit nervous something will go wrong.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the charge declining?

Yes, it happened to me in 2018, payments were blocked by the fraud team.  I got an email from 10c and had to redo the payments. All was ok afterwards

Ah this is good to hear that the payment can be redone, thanks.
I thought if this happened you just lost the tickets & it was tough luck.

Alternativenation.net

Pearl Jam fans in Spain are disappointed with ticket prices going up 69%.

"We are EstupidaFregona.net, a group of Pearl Jam fans and members of the Ten Club, who since 1999 have been meeting on social networks, concerts and events related to the band and have ended up forming a great community of which we are very proud.

We feel the need to write this letter in response to the situation experienced in the last few hours after the band’s announcement of its concert tour in 2024.

Since Pearl Jam’s last visit in 2018 to the same Palau Sant Jordi for this year’s concerts, the final price of tickets has increased by 69%, from €98 to €165. To put it in context, salaries in this same period has risen 8%.

Until yesterday, all the tour announcements we had experienced had been great moments of excitement, filled with nerves and plans to meet again with old and new friends in different cities around the world to see the band that unites us. And the feeling today is completely different.

Being aware that the current global economic situation can influence the price of tickets, we still believe that the band has great decision-making power on this matter. And, knowing its values, we can’t understand that Pearl Jam has become a luxury good reserved for a privileged few."

I saw that, and saw some very interesting responses to it too.

Perhaps it is somewhere among the comments, but will one commemorative ticket package for the flat rate of $10 cover every show and every ticket??

Yes. But TM is very bad about sending them. You will likely have to chase them down for them.

Two different answers lol. From what I read it sounds like one flat rate ticket package of $10 covers any ticket you get through the 10C....and yeah TM is shit about everything, I'm expecting an issue regardless.

Disregard mine. I could very well be wrong.

Yes. It took months of emailing back and forth with Tickets Today to finally get all my commemoratives. Some nice people here also sent me some - so when I finally got mine I payed it forward and sent them to others who never got theirs either.

I’ve resubmitted and sacked off London - looks a fairly high chance with a fairly recent membership number of a 160 quid seat in the nosebleeds. Will take my chances in general sale or f2f. Just Manchester via lottery for me

That's supposed to be the case. And often is. But as we learned last year, if you later upgrade from your original seat assignments (via F2F), you may not receive them unless you pester them repeatedly.

I never got mine in 2023,... I think they should just setup a Kiosk where once you are inside you can scan your barcode and ticket will print - Im sure there would be a long line for them just the same as posters and stickers ..

or an option to buy them after you attend the concert. I think thats how the Chicago Blackhawks do it

Hi

for what it’s worth, I got a response from ticketmaster ireland (I’m in England) about reselling tickets and not having a bank account in the same country.
it sounds to me like it’s possible if you are on the list of approved countries, so not limited to country of the concert.
please don’t take me word as truth and check yourself but this is what I’ve been sent. I’ve not had time to read through it in detail.

https://help.ticketmaster.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/360018674158-Can-I-sell-my-tickets-on-resale-if-I-live-outside-the-UK

valid countries are below.

Here's my thoughts.  Don't @ me!

There's a lot of unhappy people here raging against the ticket cost.  I agree.  They are extortionate and over-priced.  It goes against the values that I thought PJ held dear - times have changed since the '90's!

However, that's where we are.  If people aren't happy the only way to communicate that to the band is to vote with your feet.  Send a message by not buying tickets - granted, that's difficult as we're all fans here.

Anyway, that's my tuppence worth; if you don't like it, don't buy the tickets.  That'd send a pretty clear message to PJ that something ain't right.

People need to stop misusing the word "extortion" or offshoots of it here. This is not extortion. Pearl Jam is not threatening you or using force to make you buy tickets. If the price is too steep, you do not have to buy tickets.

o.k. - i misued the word 'estortionate.

But, I said exactly what you're saying; if the price is too steep, vote with your feet and don't go.

"If the price is too steep" - This is the definition of extortionate. They aren’t saying pearl jam are threatening them.

Thank you!  Appreciate the back up.

The word they're looking for is "exorbitant".  But even then, I wouldn't say PJ's tickets prices are unreasonably high.  As Clare said, this is where we are these days.  The high prices are a symptom of an underlying problem, not the root cause. 

Thank you!

I did actually mean 'exorbitant'.  cheers, appreciate you.

So just letting you all know, if you have friend in London who is  Tottenham spurs fan club member, you can get tickets NOW they are packages but my friends and I have tickets sitting together pretty good seats , and you can get more then 2.  Pricey yes but your in and don't have to worry

To the members wanting good seats at msg, this is likely the reason the closest sections are not part of the p1 sections.

No way all of those sections are for season ticket holders.  It has never been that way in the past, even the most recent MSG shows.

Almost all sections now at msg in the lower level sidelines are now club seats. These are not your regular season ticket holders, these are now luxury ticket purchasers who get wined and dined at the garden. Plus NY has a ton of music industry connections. 

Edit, at best in past years, half the sideline seats were available to 10c, not all.

Certainly the most expensive tickets I've ever bought by quite some margin. Over $100NZ more than I paid for the Foo Fighters tickets for their gig a couple of weeks ago and I expect to find myself at a similar distance from the band. At these prices this will likely be the last concert I ever go to outside of my own city. On the upside, I've always wanted to see Pixies, so if they do a decent set then I can put it down as a two-for-one and be less aggrieved, but as it is, I had to think for more than a couple of seconds if I could even justify this expense of going to see my all-time favourite band.

Thanks Ticketmaster et al.

The Pixies will be good. I saw them at BST in 2022 and as headliners at a smaller venue in the US last year and they delivered both times.
