I'm really wondering if there will be more tour dates announced at a later date.  The 24 tour covered the full range of major cities across the whole country like LA, Seattle, NY, Chicago, etc...this one has such a small list of mostly eastern mid level cities. Maybe dates still coming for places like Denver, MN, Detroit, Phoenix, Texas? You'd think they would wait and announce a full 25 tour and not just a first chunk though. Who knows maybe this is it.

People have speculated more shows in the fall, but I think it's just speculation at this point. Nashville aside, it's nice that they're at least trying to hit up places that haven't had shows in forever. So I hope Ohio and Michigan are on their radar.

Unless I'm missing something, here in DC we've not gotten a PJ show since 2010!

Granted, we got Baltimore X2 - which is close - and other places within decent driving distance, but PJ's avoided us for a looong time.

Is DC now the biggest city without a show since 2010?

DC has Pittsburgh and Raleigh within a few hours drive.  Better than many places.  You can reasonably get to 4 shows without flying.  

Yeah, I mentioned that we're close to plenty of places PJ HAS played since 2010.

I'm not complaining.

Just pointing out that DC is a major market the band's skipped for 15 years (counting these 2025 shows).

Sorry for the dumb questions in advance... I've seen PJ a bunch with 10C tickets over the years, but this is the first time I'm considering traveling to a location based solely on PJ (IE - me going is based only on whether or not I have tickets). 

If I buy two tickets, am I able to split them and sell one on the F2F if I end up going solo? 

If I get tickets for more shows than I'm willing/able to attend, can I resell unused tickets on the F2F market at face value (assuming there is demand)?

Obviously, no one knows for sure, but it would seem reasonable to think tickets should be pretty "resalable" at face value on F2F, right?  I guess what I'm asking is if I put in for say 5 shows, with the thought of only going to one, is there a major risk that I'll get stuck with tickets I can't use?

Sorry for the newbie questions, and I appreciate any insights.

MJ - Yes, yes, and maybe (if the show is not very in demand and your Ten Club membership relatively new, like if you only joined in the last 5-6 years, your seats may not sell, especially if Ticketmaster drop the prices of seats in a similar location to your tickets below the $184, or release a whole set of seats nearer than yours for the same price, as you cannot sell yours for less).

anyone know why Pearl Jam doesn't just have the entire floor be GA when lots of other artists do it?

I don’t know why but thanks goodness they don’t.  (They do in Europe.)

I think the Flux Capacitor has to go in your checked luggage, Doc.

Hoping to see PJ in 2025, and could theoretically make any of these shows. Based on your past experience seeing the band in these venues and/or cities, which one would you go to?

I have the same question as MJ, I know in years past you could resell for face value but wasn't sure with the non-transferable language mentioned here: 
Pearl Jam strives to protect access to fairly priced tickets by providing the majority of tickets to Ten Club members, making tickets non-transferable as permitted, and selling approximately 10% of tickets through PJ Premium to offset increased costs.

Does anyone know if this impacts the ability to resell tickets at face value if you cannot make a show or need to sell a single ticket?

No Email either.

I just clicked the link and saw no shows selected, and then I signed in and my selections appeared. So the link doesn't auto-sign you in so make sure that's not what is happening to you.

Hooray for Hollywood!
Booked flight today to Fort Lauderdale.

I got one question, why are ten club tickets $184 a pop? That’s freakin ridiculous. What happened to the Pearl Jam that fought Ticketmaster? Where is the Pearl Jam that once made PJ shows affordable? 184 bucks a ticket is ridiculous. If you are not in the fan club tickets start at 300 bucks. Ticket sites are selling PJ tickets for over a thousand bucks each! What happened to Pearl Jam? So disappointed and not stoked for the tour. Been a fan since 1992. The Pearl Jam I grew up with and loved is gone. Bring back affordable tickets to the fan club. December 5th 2024 is the day the music died. 

I totally get it.. tickets prices are high.. I paid $200ish a ticket so I can take my kids to MCR (My Chemical Romance) this upcoming August. Pearl Jam at $184 is within range of normal pricing unfortunately. Fingers crossed that those prices fall one day. I miss those $20 tickets.

ComeToTX

Ha, prices (for everything) are never going down. People bitch but still pay it. Every show I go to is packed.

That honor goes to Houston.

Question about the Credit Cards processing...so Im using a Mastercard and Ticketmaster, well my card, makes me do a verification code right at the end of a sale on normal ticket checkout. I was worried this might cause an issue with the ticket request transaction being approved? I've called my card and they say it’s no issue but I also think it’s one of those cases where they aren't sure what I'm even talking about. Anyone have any insight on this?

They tell you to contact your bank, but I’ve ALWAYS found that does more harm than good. Because exactly, they won’t care or understand what you’re even trying to relay. 

I called my credit-card issuer to advise them that I might get hit with unusual charges when I put in for ten shows in the lottery last year. They accepted over $2,000 of charges in a day on a card that usually sees about $500 a month in charges. They regularly text me to verify smaller "unusual" purchases that aren't actually all that unusual, so I am sure that the ticket charges would have been flagged if I hadn't given them the heads-up.

I've always wanted to visit Pittsburgh.  I picked Nashville as well but if you thought tickets were expensive avoid Nashville. 

Nashville is like any other city -- it's as expensive as you make it. Yes if you eat and drink n Broadway you're gonna pay the tourism tax but there are tons of places to get good food and drink if you do a little research.

This is very true. I did ten shows last spring and spent very little aside from the tickets and the plane tickets for the cities I needed to fly to. It also helps if, like me, you have no interest in merch.

Oh I know and I agree with you. IMO- totally worth paying for both Pearl Jam and MCR. Spending the time with my kids and watching them experience these shows for the 1st time is priceless!

No option for GA only?  I don't want to get stuck with terrible seats.  

My PJ buddy scored 10club tickets for Philly 9/7/2024; up in 300 section side stage.  We both have similar, fairly low numbers (208XXX).   It was one of the best shows ever, and I have seen PJ a lot.  I guess if you have a high 10club number and you don't get GA, you may be further back than expected, but you avoid all the TM fees, so why would you not try?? You get 10club tickets with no fees, or you try outside options and hopefully get tickets, God knows where for $$$$.  Why wouldn't you try?

A Saturday in Philly with a low number is a no brainer.  A Tuesday in Raleigh with a high number could land someone with bad uppers at top price and no ability to discount to sell.  When TM opens the floodgates on unsold premiums and other held back tickets at standard price you are stuck either eating the uppers and buying an extra ticket or using the uppers knowing there were face value great seats available if you would have been patient.  People can have different approaches to the strategy but that’s why you wouldn’t try.

It’s a turn off to me that this band is so tied at the hip with TM I don’t want no part of it! 

Robbert

Its not just the 10club bizar prices, also the flying ticket prices. Amsterdam to Atlanta 1600 euros. No way josé

Did anyone request tickets and not get a credit card $1 hold? I haven’t yet and previously I’ve gotten one very soon after a ticket request.

they've been using TM for 29 years straight now! Where you been? Only took a couple years off from TM around 94-95

Anyone complaining about the PJ ticket prices is insane. My wife just bought two Weird Al tickets for his June 18th show in Vegas for $469. If I get the two tickets I requested for the second PJ show in Nashville, they'll only cost $403. Heck, some of you seem to think it's 1994 rather than 2024, and concert tickets still cost $35 each. These artists just don't earn much from album sales any more, so they tour and sell concert tickets to pay their bills.
