This isn't the anti-establishment, grassroots, ticketbastard fighting band who once proclaimed "get out of my fucking face, delight in our youth!"

He's absolutely right! You answered all your questions right there....

But tell me, are you the same person you were in 1995? Have you not changed at all?

the guy who killed himself leaving his baby daughter behind, that guy?

I could not give a shit in the least what that guy would think

good answer......

right on!!!

mrvedderson

everyone should quit crying, they put on shows because people want to see them and they want to see us, it is a supply and demand type of thing, as the demand rises so does the price, thats why it costs so much to see other people like Led Zep or McCartney,

Thank you!

It annoys me when people talk about how great kurt was. Yah he was a great musician but he was a drug addict who left his baby behind to be raised by a wacko, i dont think thats so great.

That's true. Let's not forget the fact that in '95, how many of the members had kids? Any of them? Plus they didn't have Boom. So six paid band members, plus each of the band members' families.

i think all of them have 2-3 kids now

The last few years i have had PLENTY of issues, and questions about the band and how the 10club runs a business.

But the last thing i have a problem with is the price of tickets......

$148 for 2 tickets to see the best live band on the planet?????

its a fucking bargain........

ditto!
and i know a lot of people hate the system but it's a hell of whole lot better than dealing with ticketbasterd in my opinion.

Gas cost $0.88 p/gallon in 1995. :shock:


Any reasonably intelligent person could probably surmise quite a bit from that fact.

Kurt Cobain wouldn't say shit

And he won't ever say shit again

He blew his fucking face off with a shotgun

I wondered myself about the price of tickets. But in the end, I bought tickets to the Monday night show.
Why? Because I love this band. I don't really go to many concerts anymore as most aren't worth the price of admission.
Pearl Jam is a different story. I know what kind of seats I'm getting. I had 5th row center for the last show at the UC. I know I'm getting AT LEAST 3 hours of rocking music. I know I'm probably getting Yellow Leadbetter to end the show. Most people hate that they always seem to close with it. I LOVE IT!!
In my opinion, it's the perfect song to close with.
Their merchandise is cheaper than most other bands. They could EASILY charge $50 a T-shirt.
They just put out a KILLER box set because the fans wanted it. They pretty much stop scalpers and brokers from getting a hold of the BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE.
I just love this band. I have since 1991.
I guess, that's why I paid $148 for a pair of tickets.

You say this as if PJ is the only band to raise ticket prices.

EVERY band is alot more expensive to see now. Im paying a little over $70 to see INCUBUS. Ill pay the same to see PJ any day.

i shit and i stink

Pearl Jam at London's O2 costs the same as watching West Ham play Stoke on a Saturday afternoon. The only difference is that one of those two events guarantees at least some basic level of satisfaction - and I'm not talking about watching Rory Delap's long throw ins.

These things costs money and you get what you pat for.

By the way..

What do you do for a living?

Let's say you're an engineer...

In the 90's you made $40,000 a year.....

Do you wanna make $40,000 a year now?

Like I said before...

Fucking stupid post

Also, don't forget that fan club tickets cut out the "service" fees, the "handling" fee and the "whatever else we want to charge you" fee.

So, $74 a piece isn't so bad, when if it was $50 through TicketBastard, it would be $95 after all the "fees".

We won't be hearing songs off a new record or anything. What's up? Do they need some cash?

Why wont be hearing songs off the new record????

In Australia, and for the 06 tour the tickets were $100 each for the whole venue. Thats cheap. To see Cold Play in the same venue was $140 for shit seats.

I'm sorry, you may have had a legitimate point, but just the fact you said: "what would Kurt Cobain say?" kinda kills it. Come on, man, really?

Hahaha I didnt go see them, but a mate went and when I heard the ticket price for seats up the back, it made me happy to be a PJ fan.

lawn tickets to see bob dylan at summerfest are listed at 25 bucks. after fees and charges it comes out to 50. these tickets i would think are a lot closer to the $50 mark before fees and what not are added. Cost of living goes up all the time..it's called inflation. and yeah..ticket prices might jump up a little bit when bands have familes to feed and look out for. it's really not that much.

over bends

The band grew up. The fans didn't.
