London show selling terribly?

Force Of Nature

When they lower ticket prices, who takes the hit financially? The band? Promoter? Venue?

or at this point is it just lower profits rather than losing any money?

The Rock

Both of my tickets say early entry front standing with the same entrance point stated. I'm sure we'll be fine. 

Force Of Nature

For some reason my listing was cancelled and says I can’t list it at the moment. Anyone else had this issue?

well if anyone wants it, I have a 10C front standing available.

all resale tickets seem to have disappeared off TM it seems - how much did you want for the front standing? I know someone who might be interested but they're not really at full price

Well I’ve had to buy two additional seated tickets due to injury (I know, sob story) so trying to make some money back for that. Would you/they pay £120? Feel free to PM me

A friend just told me he scored free tickets via a connection who works for the O2 😬

Yeah they remove all resale the day before the show so they can sell their own tickets. It's in the T&Cs. You can list them on Twickets still I believe

There's also a map up on the Tottenham hotspur stadium website showing where early entry check in is and where the queue is afterwards.

Check in?
Does that mean will we get a number and a wristband

LiveAtLeeds

I think you'll get your ticket checked and wristband there, then get moved into the queue.
Edit - but that's just an assumption on my part.

My circle of friends includes both average Pearl Jam fans and die-hard Pearl fans. Everyone has basically always looked forward to seeing the band live in Europe every two years. No sign of oversaturation. This year I got exactly the same reaction from all these people: "The tickets are too expensive" and "It's outrageous that they charge the same price in all areas". I am aware that the tickets are cheaper now. But the damage has already been done.

I know at least 10-15 Greeks who are following the band on every tour,,this time are only 3 people..you know the one of them..

As predicted by many, there is now a ballot for free tickets on Concert for Carers for London (must work for the NHS or be a care worker).

read that as "concrete" for carers...!

Not surprising for many reasons

It's probably not worth it anymore. 3 tours in a row with cancelled shows for me. Only 1 show rescheduled

Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.

That’s what my grandfather told me anyway!

Lower and lower physical sales of albums, low ticket sales, etc.

In terms of Pearl Jam being relevant and commercially successful, this seems to be a scary time for them and where they're at career-wise. The band always claimed to not care about such things, but that was when their albums still got certified and they could pack out any venue anywhere in the world. All of this must be a little jarring for them, honestly.

They need to get the ticket prices back in check and humble themselves to deliver at smaller venues. On the mainstream level, it'd look significantly better if they had both a critically claimed album (sans big sale numbers) and a world tour that is 99% sold out.

They still let everyone in the merch queue but a ton of merch for an hour before cancelling.... Stinks. Cancel at midday before shop opens and let folk choose

Pearl Jam hasn't been a "relevant" band in a long time.  And that's no knock on them.  They are still a profitable touring band. They are mostly selling out arenas and ballparks in the US, prices be damned. I feel terrible for locals of London and those traveling that this happened. But the singer got sick. What are you gong to do? These posts about the band being done or at a crossroads are a little dramatic.

Nobody can tell the band when they should close up shop, especially lowly little me.

I think paying attention to certain symptoms is a wise choice, though.

Great point!!!
I know about cancelling and insurance payouts regards announcement timings but they would have known before the merch went on sale, was even selling cheap tickets minutes before, so people could arrange transport and hotels etc this morning!
it’s Bad Darts in my book, and it ain’t the first time let’s be honest!!
I remember Morrissey cancelling numerous times on past tours to the point even his diehard fans consider buying tickets anymore!
Its a bad bet tbh

Cancellations 3 tours in a row.  The only show they rescheduled was in 2018.  Really does leave a bitter taste!

Nothing felt right about this Euro tour - especially for London.  Only 1 night, with such a long space in-between shows. 

One show at the Tottenham Stadium!? I mean, of all the venues! (They are nowhere near as popular as Foo Fighters in the UK - who actually CAN sell out stadiums).

Double the price of tickets from last tour. Sales went badly from the go and the prices dropped considerably - screwing over ALL the fans that bought at full price when they went on sale. 

The fact is.,.Pearl Jam could EASILY have sold out 2 nights at a smaller venue like O2 or Wembley Arena. Even at £100 a ticket (£30 more than 2022).

What Happened???
