For the same price you could see all of Pearl Jam. So why such a expensive ticket for Eddie? How much was the West coast tour per ticket? What happened with keeping ticket cost down?
As others have said, I feel it is well worth $75 to see Ed in an intimate venue. You will be amazed!
I have a feeling that this debate is splitting the sexes. Women think that paying $75 to see Eddie in a small venue is perfectly reasonable. The men are the ones complaining about the price. Am I right?
Incorrect. Male here and paid over $75/per ticket (incl. Ticketbastard fee's) for two solo shows in CA. Considering the great shows I witnessed in a intimate setting along with the chance encounter I had w/Ed after Santa Cruz, I felt like those fee's were a bargain!
but I don't see why we can't have differences of opinion w/o being all nasty and refusing to see someone else's POV.
To you it's like, whatever, 75 bucks. To me that's a small fortune. Which I spent on the PJ show
And I thought that was too much also.
With ticketmaster fees it was $91.
And even if I had it I wouldn't pay to see him solo. For any amt of money. It doesn't interest me in going.
wait that is 'blasphemous' right?

True that. My girlfriend is always saying that I would totally go gay for Eddie Vedder if I got the chance, and that she's okay with it. But anyone other than him or Alexander Ovechkin, and she reserves the right to be upset. Two man crushes isn't so bad, is it?
If you like the Ed solo pre-set songs... then, go. You can pretty much catch up on all of them with one show.
And if you like the music from 'Into The Wild'... then, go. This is pretty much the only chance you'll get to hear them live.
If you are indifferent to both of the above... then, save your money.
...
One show is sufficient... but, if you do decide to go... make sure you catch Liam Finn's set. Really great.
agree here too! Liam is one of the best opening acts I've seen.
"Music, for me, was fucking heroin." eV (nothing Ed has said is more true for me personally than this quote)
I think anyone that saw Ed in April will agree that his show is worth the price of admission. Berkeley II is one of my favorite concerts ever.
same here. and liam kicks serious ass, so to get two great musicians for $75, it's a great deal and who knows if ed will ever do another tour like this too....it's a rare treat
Hahahaha. I agree with you about Ovechkin, too, but I heard off the ice he's kind of a jerk.
Take those things you hear about Ovechkin with a grain of salt. You can't always believe what you hear/read. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I one day meet him to determine that for myself or if it just becomes blatantly obvious that he's a jerk (i.e. gets in trouble w/the law consistently, making retarded remarks that get plastered everywhere).
Either way, I'll take dealing with a player like Ovehckin anyday than I would say a player like....Albert Belle, LOL! Boy did my boys get swindled with that deal!
...
That's a perfect description of it... sitting around a campfire... or late at night in Eddie's garage-turned-den-turned-sort-of-studio and he's singing and talking about whatever bullshit happens to pop in his head.
It's not something you get to see very often.
it's a true experience isn't it. My friends are still chatting up the Santa Cruz show. I had to ensure to burn copies of the show for each, and they constantly tell me now they can see why I see PJ so often (I started sharing PJ boots with them also), and why I saw Ed three times in April. They're jealous I'm seeing him again, Boston 1 (opening night in the east)
"Music, for me, was fucking heroin." eV (nothing Ed has said is more true for me personally than this quote)
I know it will be worth it.. i don't doubt it for a second..
but it is hard to comprehend when usually, 75 dollar a ticket is getting split between 5-6 people.. wtf do i know about the music biz though, not so much
Hahahaha. I agree with you about Ovechkin, too, but I heard off the ice he's kind of a jerk.

Berkeley II was incredible!!! I'd snap that 180gram vinyl up in a minute if it was offered (wishful thinking). What's goin' on mR. 'Dweller?? Did you hit up any of the East coast shows by chance??
Hoping for a West coast announcement in a month or two...!!
Hope all is goin' well bro!
Gonna be movin' to the south, south side of SJ in about 3 weeks so we should try and hook up one evening soon.
Because it is $75. In your relative situation it may be a lot of money, but in actuality it isn't. I realize how I may sound, but I don't care. Ed isn't touring for college kids.
what's your fucking problem dude? 75 dollars is all relative from person to person. obviously you're fucking rich, and i'm fine with that. you sound like a pompous ass though, and that i'm not particularly fine with. i said 75 dollars is a lot of money because i'm working full-time for not much pay. will it set me back a lil? maybe, but i'll put more money in the bank afterwards. and i'm not a college kid, i work a full-time job and bust my ass as a college graduate. and who are you to say who he is or isn't touring for? he's playing for anyone who wants to go see the man. stop being a fucking asshole just because you're rockerfeller and not in my situation you pompous, elitist douchebag. Go find someone else to get your kicks from dude, because I don't need it.

$75 sure is a lot for a guy with a guitar, regardless of who it is. Plus merch- this is gonna be pricey. But if the option is $75 or he doesnt tour, Ill pay the price.

Greetings from hot & humid Maryland! I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland now, but I grew up in Baltimore and went to school in College Park. Did you live in any of those areas?

Maybe it's women and men who have man crushes on Eddie who ddon't mind paying the $75.

I heard that Ovechkin was a womanizer -- from someone who I think has seen him around DC. Yes, I would take him over Albert Belle too!

$75 for ANY concert is too much. It's a matter of whether or not you think it's worth the cost of admission.
I'm still amazed that I agreed to pay $100 each for 4 tickets during the PJ/Tom Petty "experiment". PJ got to play for 80 minutes and even though I like Tom Petty's music it was like listening to their greatest hits album two nights in a row. I was disappointed, but I'm not gonna whine because I knew it wouldn't be as great as the $50 ticket shows where PJ plays as long as they want; I didn't have any other option in my market for that tour.
I remember back in the day pre-2000 when concerts were dirt cheap. $5-30 for most shows. Even Metallica was dirt cheap back then. I suppose most will blame it on Napster, and perhaps it's true.
