Figured i would get a headstart on things and create a place for all you people who will be complaining about the ticket prices.

So please lets keep it all in here ... mmmmmkay??



personally I'm a realist

I know that it's 2010 and not 1994

I know that it's not just the 6 guys on stage getting paid

I know that Pearl Jam has been a bargain for all these years (ahem... U2)

I feel that they've always done their best to keep prices down while also making money

The bottom line is their live show is worth it ... to me

if it's not worth it to you... then post here... and don't go

simple huh??

:wave:

    Does complaining about complaining count as complaining?

    I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with the op on 1 point. They haven't done their best to keep ticket prices down or they would have stayed down.

    Dude this is weak. I'm not a fan of what you're alluding to either, but you know what I do? I don't read it. Revolutionary, I know. There's news coming for once, enjoy it.

    ok... and you're an expert on this because??????


    all i know... is i look at the price of a U2 show... or a The Who show... or any show of a top performer

    and PJ is near the bottom in price



    i'd love to hear your evidence to the contrary

    but wouldn't it be nice if you only had to ignore 1 thread instead of 12 on the front page?

    now that is revolutionary

    Pearl Jam arent' really peers with U2. U2 have been the biggest band in the world for the last 10-15 years. Their(U2) peers are Paul McCartney, ACDC and The Boss.

    Last Radiohead tix I bought were $55.
    STP at a small venue $55
    Tool, with their massive light show was $60


    I agree on another point of yours, that it's totally worth it. I just don't feel like they've tried all they could to keep ticket prices down. In 2k they were $25-35. They've almost tripled in price.

    its pretty ridiculous to think PJs ticket price should be anywhere near U2's.

    I hate when people make logical arguments ;)

    you do have a point... I guess PJ isn't as big as those bands and I was just looking at things from a personal point of view... judging which of these acts i enjoy the most

    I like U2... but i feel like they're sellouts

    But isn't PJ is bigger than Tool, Radiohead and STP? what has STP done in the past 10 years besides a couple of stints in rehab?

    maybe it is all about their kids flying on private jets... ;)

    either way

    it's all worth it ;)

    Radiohead is probably one of the biggest band in the world right now. but PJ is bigger than the other two.
