    They are, although it's just the whole dynamic ticket pricing and stock management working as it is designed to. Give us a decade of getting used to this for all major artists, and we'll all be playing it the way our friends across the pond do, either buy early or last minute. 
    I sense they are working it out themselves over here too, i mean adding a thousand or so tickets this late in the day that had been held back seems to have been a massive own goal as they aint going to sell before next week

    Ten Club membership is only $35 who cares.  People need to reset their expectations.  

    If I win TC lotto once every six years, that’s $210 added to a ticket cost. 

    If that’s nothing to you, please Venmo it to  me.

    Was this really necessary? This thread is 33 pages long and the dominant discussion is ticket costs. Clearly some care.

    Well there are not many other perks for Europeans with those ridiculous shipping costs to Europe and no real European store in place.

    Get off your high horse and ask anyone outside of the US about the non-ticket 'benefits' we get - even those of us just north of the border. After years of spending as much on shipping from 10C as the products themselves, and being offered every piece of merchandise under the sun, I'm glad my addiction is over. I wouldn't be surprised if EV's hair plugs are on sale shortly.

    As for dynamic pricing - it's in effect because the band okay'ed it. Sturgill Simpson is an example of actually giving a shit about this. His tour opted out of dynamic pricing, and only allows face-value resale. 

    What's nice to see, is that Europeans have a 'sanity ceiling' clearly. The more fans excuse the high prices rather than opting out with their wallets, the more the band/business knows they can go higher.

  • Best seat tickets for Sturgill’s gorge show are $190 bucks with taxes and fees… I paid less for PJ.

    Baltimore was more and the seats were not best in the house.

  • The way I see it, I can hope the things I value happen to inexplicably cost less in the future, or I can find a way(s) to earn more income. I opt for the latter, and it makes paying an additional $50 per concert ticket a moot issue.

    Do we know if this show is still working to a 15000 capacity, as was originally planned for all May/June shows, or whether they're up to the full 23k on sale?

    Hardly serious journalism, but national press picked up on London price cuts https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/28470852/fans-pearl-jam-fuming-tickets-stadium-show-slashed/amp/

    also on Sky news site 

    Bit embarrassing really

    Berlin starting time moved to 6:15pm. Likely means PJ will hit the stage way before 8 and there won't be curfew issues this time around. (Let's pray)
  • axeljohanaxeljohan Posts: 460
    Well, the last two times at Waldbühne the band was way behind schedule and managed to get into trouble with the curfew anyway. But we can still hope.
  • Zen23Zen23 Posts: 470
    „Likely“ is the important word in the sentence. I would be careful with „way before“. But I hope so too.

    At the moment dude it seems not outside of Berlin
    I am still not sure about Berlin. It says „early access“ which could mean that we had early access to the tickets. But 10c/tm will send some e-mail about the procedure, so will know for certain then.
    The Waldbühne website currently states:

    3:30 pm Early Entry Ten Club
    4:15 pm Regular Admission

    I make very few posts in Porch or Given to Fly. I enjoy talking politics with the fine folks in A Moving Train. I agree with you - each year that goes by, I ask myself whether the membership fee is worth it for forum access essentially.

    I had Paul McCartney tickets in my basket this morning for Manchester. Didn’t buy any, I was just curious really. But yes - sad to see he’s cheaper than seeing PJ.

    To be fair, hate is absolutely not the right word, but I haven’t listened to much other than bluegrass for the past two years. I tried listening to the new album the other day, made it three tracks and realized that rock isn’t doing it for me these days! That said, I’ve met wonderful people on here, and that’s what keeps me coming back.
