    This process absolutely sucks. My buddy couldn't transfer and literally needs to escort us to our seats.

    Were Fenway transfers always in the cards or a pleasant last minute surprise? I wasn’t aware.

    Didn’t see it mentioned anywhere. But pretty nice surprise as otherwise my pair for tonight would have went to waste.

    It was rumored/hypothesized. When it actually happened it was a nice surprise.

    Seems like some people have been able to transfer their tix? Is transferring the same as forwarding? I have bar codes but still says ‘forwarding not enabled’ in red.  Guess I’m just going to have to give my friend my phone… 😳

    Wow - Ten Club adjacent sections now selling through MLB for $56 bucks for tonight.

    I think they got to rethink the size of the places they are playing or they risk losing Ten Club memberships going forward. 

    The fact that there are as many tickets as there have been for Sunday and Tuesday at Fenway Park at low prices signals the times and crowds are changing.

    This would have been unimaginable ten years ago. 
    "Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fuckin' quarter up here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck, you're blowin' it for fuckin' everybody. Hit me with a fuckin' quarter again and, fuck it, I'm outta here. We're all outta here. Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."

    Those seats behind the net are absolutely terrible and should not be 10C seats. This isn’t 2016 or 2018 Fenway. It’s at the tail end of the second leg of a world tour on a weeknight. Demand would have been the same 10 years ago if those shows arrived around a bunch of other East Coast dates.

    I’m just happy in 2024 to see this band 45 minutes from my house. Viva La Pearl Jam!!

    It’s a Boston show - there was a time every PJ fan would get there because like NYC or Philly, it would be special. There’s no way there should be as many tickets as there are through Facebook, StubHub, CL, etc right now for $25 to $50.

    People are older, shows are shorter and less eventful, there’s way less travel couples, motivation to go into the city on a Tuesday ain’t the same. To my point, they need to rethink their touring strategy - back to backs in a 38,000 seat ball park probably ain’t the sweet spot anymore.

    Yeah. I’m gonna continue to disagree with this. The other Fenway shows weren’t part of a tour. People who wouldn’t normally travel travelled for those. It’s not comparable. Also they’re charging double. This band is still more popular than they were even 10 years ago.

    Edit: Also - by my count - there are roughly 70 tickets on StubHub and 50 on the MLB site. Show is still almost sold out lol.
