    I believe all seats for PJ shows have been the same price no matter the location for several years now.

    Does TM suck, or are the buyers the suckers? The show isn't for another six months. Don't pay it, prices drop. Simple.

    I just tried for the Portland show because what I got from Tenclub wasn't that great a seat, and there were tons of seats available better than my Fanclub ticket if I want to spend between $500-800 per ticket before fees. (I don't)

    I grabbed a 10C seat the day of at face value in 2013 and for the most impossible ticket - Temple of the Dog at the Tower. Absolutely no reason to pay that kind of dough.

    Ticketmaster sucks, people that pay the premium are suckers (or have lots of expendable income), and Pearl Jam is complacent. It is what it is. All parties are at fault. 
    Remove yourself from comfort . . . all progress involves risk
