I was for sure it would at least be a hundy.... i just wasnt planning a buck 50 though..... had i KNOWN it was going to be that much... i would have gotten a lil more money together.. or could have done different shows to be more cost effective...
Im sorry pearl jam shows are great but this is bullshit..
Four days notice and then no ticket prices... Kind of takes the fun out of it
Not all of us have mastcards that we can max out!!!! Im not bitching about the price, but they could have least told us ahead of time..
I'm not being an ass to the folks in the South when I say this ... but, we all have to remember ...
$148 in parts of the South can actually seem like more money that say $200 here in San Francisco. Just the way the economies are. The cost inidcies in other parts of the country are far different than where you may live.

who cares?
$150 for two tickets to sit in the top 30 rows for one of the best live acts going?
c'mon you'll pay $150 (or more) per ticket for the same seats to see most bands in PJ's class
be thankful we're getting a pre-sale at all
subscribing to the fact that 'other big bands' are worth what they charge for tickets is just stupid...so why relate pj tickets to that to begin with?
pj was always great because they different were in that respect, kept the frills to a minimum and gave us value. $75 for an ampitheatre in buttsuck florida, that's a tough one...i'll be there, don't get me wrong.
the only difference is that this time, I actually stopped and thought about more than once. i haven't changed, so....
If it weren't for my horse, I never would have spent that year in college.
I know I was going threw some stuff and found my copies of my money orders for Alpine, Indy, and Chicago 2003. No matter seeing PJ is still a great bargain.
I just looked up the price on the ticket stub for my first show in 1998:
Base Price: $18.00
Service Fee: $3.80
Grand Total: $21.80
$21.80 hardly buys you two beers at the venue these days. God I miss the '90s.

I still remember $23 tickets in 1998. So if Pearl Jam keeps tripling prices every ten years, are we looking forward to a Rolling Stones like $240 a ticket per show for their 25th anniversary tour.
in my profile it says i paid 233.00 two pair of tix, one to toronto and one to hamilton. i can live with 150.00, I'm only going to 3 shows this spring/summer PJ, REM and Bruce, so I can splurge.

I would never spend 150 a pair to see ANY other band other than pearl jam, Its silly...... Had pearl jam not roped me in in early years with decent concert prices and awesome music.. i wouldnt be in this situation :P
I miss the old days when a coke cost a nickel and a dimebag cost a dime. You know how much condoms used to cost? I don't know we never used them.

dude if you cant pull 150 dollars Without a credit card in 4 days notice
whatever formula you are using is not accurate. my home has doubled in price in 8 years. had i sold it 2 years ago, it would have been more than doubled. you cannot base price increases on inflation alone.
their tickets are still much less than most other bands.
*however* I am still trying to figure out how the Foo Fighters pulled off $59 per ticket at Madison Square Garden just last month.....
That your home doubled in value has more to do with the housing market, not inflation. My formula is correct. Money today is about twice what it was in 1985.
Hey, bud, that's where PJ got its start. There's a band called mewithoutYou that plays clubs and small theaters and is probably the second best live band out there, now that Sleater-Kinney's hanged it up.
are you fucking high? what acts are worth seeing under 70 a ticket?
Are you fucking high? There are tons of acts worth seeing under $70. Maybe one day you leave your little secluded world of mainstream music and open your ears to bands not named "Pearl Jam". Sorry you never saw PJ in a club.

I got to agree here ... I'd say >95% of all shows I go to are in clubs / smaller venues. There is so much good music out there. You're missing a lot if you don't check it out.
PJ is special, one of the (VERY) few acts I'd actually brave an arena to see in that type of venue ...

There are really only a few bands that I'll see in an arena. Phish, Pearl Jam, and Tom Petty, and Clapton ... maybe a few more, but not many. There is so much better music out there than most of the crap that plays large venues.

I DIDNT SAY THE PRICE WASNT FAIR ...IT WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN NICE TO KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WERE AHEAD OF TIME...

I'm sure PJ/10c is doing what they can but I'm just sayin...
Ahhhh....the home run king. I miss him too.
And I bet he would pay $150 for PJ tickets.
You are U, who you are.
dude if you cant pull 150 dollars Without a credit card in 4 days notice
you need serious financial help!

i was trying to do 5 shows.... but thanks
btw, fuck who ever moved my thread.. now im all confused....
Um, a ton of bands in clubs.
now that is a way to look at it positively!
seriously i would be more pissed if i forked out the money for Bonnaroo and then these east coast opportunities came up

5 shows and your surprised it's expensive,? :rolleyes:
