It's been said plenty of times, but I'll say it again: yes, premium is taking away good seats from 10c members. But I really believe it's the band not touring as much that's making tickets harder to get (unless you live in CA haha). An area, such as the Midwest, used to get several shows. Now there's just Chicago most of the time.
People are realizing the scarcity of shows + who knows how many good years they have left and you get more ppl gutted and losing out on shows.
That first part.
It's the scarcity of shows plus the fact that people are using their vacation time/money for Pearl Jam instead of going to the beach, Disney, skiing, etc.
They also generally announce each leg individually. There probably will be other shows this year, but...we just don't know at this time. This causes Europeans, South Americans and others to all try for a venue with 7,000 seats instead of even just a little tease "more shows for 2025 announced soon."
What'd be BEST is if they announced the entire year all up front, but they don't do that. People in/near 10-15 major European cities wouldn't be tempted to try for Raleigh and Pittsburgh.
I agree that these dribs and drabs "tours" make it tougher to get tickets period than it was 10+ years ago.
PJ doesn't embark on 3-month+ tours that cross the whole US anymore, and given the nature of the fanbase, that means more competition for these smattering of shows since so many of us will travel.
What's up with ONLY being able to pick just 5 Shows?
It wouldn't be so bad if we knew what we scored with the 10C, before the TM Artist Presale closed.
I hadn't even noticed that limit. I am really glad they didn't have a limit in place last year.
I kind-of-sort-of noticed when I read the email, but I wasn't %100 sure, until I went on TM to select the shows I wanted, and when I got to show 6 It wasn't letting me select the 6th show.
It would've been nice if we got 24-48 after we were notified about 10C seats? Then we could go to TM and Select the shows we didn't win?
When Pearl Jam came last time to Nashville in 2022 I never saw the "dynamic price changes." There were just some priced higher than others. Is this something new within the last tour?

Admittedly, I miss Ye Olde Dayes when my # got me first 10 rows at worst!
I just don't see why you couldn't sign up for as many as you want if you wanted to. (And NO, this isn't a complaint. Just an observation)
A friend just got the Pittsburgh show
