I got the row H tickets. It’s not a huge upgrade for
me, but always something. Don’t worry, they’ll start popping up now as it gets closer to the show date.

I have Sec 123, Row 1 for LA2 and I can’t wait for that view. Here’s a view of that section taken from the pit in 2022. Seems like it’ll be great despite the Limited View designation.

I was in 122 row 6 for LA2 last time, view was great but I do worry a bit as they've said this tour will have more staging/screens, hence the no rear stage seating. These seats may be a little more limited view this time around. I'll hold off till after I see the setup in Portland before I jump on those again.

Looks good from there, think that’s where I’ll roll from, try for GA night 2

thanks for pic

The joke is you don’t consider fans. I’m not from a place in Canada that EVER sees Pearl Jam play. Vancouver is the closest (7.5 hr trip) that Pearl Jam has played. I’m now 43 and can afford to see it. 

You may have access to events in cities, but don’t fault fans for trusting a system designed by the band, FOR PROTECTING THE FANS, which undercut ticket prices and screwed 10club fan purchase is a problem. You have a mandate that people pay too much for concerts, different conversation than this.

“It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake”

Joke. If I paid a million, they undercut their own fans. They have the ability to refund fans who have been gouged by their own process.

Don't blame this on Pearl Jam.  They didn't make you pay $800 for a ticket.  And why would they refund you.  You weren't duped into buying those tickets.  The fact that you think you purchased those tickets through the 10 club sale is a good place to start placing blame. All the tickets purchase through the 10 club were face value.  You purchased through Verified Fan, and then rather than buy a face value ticket, you bought a Premium Ticket.

The rest of us will be paying for your mistake because now Ticketmaster has a reason to keep selling the Premium Tickets for 4 and 5 times the real price, so yes, everyone else pays for someone else's mistake.

Band sets $ for ticket. Me pay $ for ticket that band sells. Band takes $. Band drops $ next to ticket to 0.25 for same due to lack of sales.
This was NOT Ticketmaster, this is why they sued Ticketmaster. They have complete control over this price and the revenue.

I think we can blame Pearl Jam and at the same
time blame the people buying the premium tickets.

Great initial posts.  Band didn't force you to buy an $800 ticket, and you didn't pay attention that there were/are tickets available for less.  Go whine elsewhere.

That's not exactly how it works.   Band gets offered a gaurantee by the promoter (organization that runs the show), they discuss how that revenue is going to made, band gives the ok, and then it's up to the promoter to make enough money to pay the band and make some profit.   Band isn't involved in the day to day of picking the individual prices for seats, but they do sign off on things like use platinum tickets overall.

Your problem is generally that you bought a platinum (aka PJ premium) ticket.   Never buy platinum tickets.  They're offered at most concerts now. 

How come you didn't use your 10c membership to buy tickets?  You're posting on the 10c board, which means you could of easily had face value tickets for the show?

And there’s a place just for that too!

Sound like maybe you need to request to speak with the Manager.  It is good that you keep commenting though.  At least we know that Verified Fan is not the only thing you don't understand.

Looks like they just signed up this week, that’s why 10c wasn’t used. With PJ tickets, you better be on the ball when that lottery comes out, or next chance to catch them in your town is seven years later

Your comment is true, and I realize you are replying to a rookie, however, this band does things much differently than almost every other artist. 

If we look at every other artist not named Taylor, we will likely see a range of prices starting at maybe 90 bucks and every price in between that and going up to maybe platinum $800 for the best seats. For those of us in the Northeast, the choices here are win the lottery for 180 bucks or you’re stuck paying $800 $1000 $2000, and that is 100% the bands doing. Underpricing tickets within a private lottery works wonders for those broker and platinum tickets that make it to the general public..

 in the northeast there is zero in between, unless you win the lottery or get lucky with fan the fan which is essentially the same thing.

 there’s no market for $300 tickets, there’s no market rate for $400 tickets, there’s no market for $600 tickets, either win the lottery for  $180 or are you stuck paying $900 …$1000 …$1500…$2000 whatever they feel like when making up the price.
