    After seeing you shoot down the guy asking about his reissue box it has to be said - thanks for starting yet another topic about the price of ed ved tickets :(


    Im on the forum almost every day. I never saw one. But as far as VS/Vitalogy being late, those threads are all over, on the very first page of the Porch.

    There's a difference. but sorry if you took offense. and you're right. I shouldnt have said anything. Why should I care if someone starts a thread.

  • It's expensive but think about the money you spend on going out to eat, having a few beers, or buying useless things. To me the $94 will be a lifetime of a great memory...if I ever score a Philly ticket!

    It's more than worth it to see Ed in an intimate setting. Saw EV at NJPAC in 2008 & his honest explanation of what Yellow Ledbetter meant was worth the price of admission!

    That isn't too much money!. In my country (Chile) there are people who pays $350 for a show, just to watch their favourite artist.

    The average value of the cheaper ticket here is around $50.

    Bye!

    The only thing about your life it will change is that afterwards you will be able to tell your friends you saw Eddie Vedder play solo. It's a great show, but lets not get out of control here.

    And while I think the ticket price is ridiculous I am going to see him for the 3rd and 4th time this summer. So I think it is worth it, especially if you sit up front. I can never get close to the stage for the entire band since my 10C is high (unless I miraculously win the lottery) but here it is all random. That's what convinced me to go to both NY shows instead of just one.

  • Wait...do some of you ACTUALLY see Ed as just 1/5 of Pearl Jam?

    You do realize, he is worth much more to the band than the 20% he represents, by number right :lol:

    Sorry, but 40% of Pearl Jam playing average songs, cant touch what Ed does on that stage by himself...regardless of price.

    I was just looking up Neil Young tickets in Chicago at the Chicago Theater and main floor is about $250 (not counting taxes and fees). I just paid $168 for TWO tickets (probably, hopefully main floor) to see Ed.

    Thank you Ten Club for doing your best to take care of us. :)
    I'm not lost, but I don't know where I am...David Byrne, Talking Heads

    Regal Theater, 1994--most amazing night ever.

    So now we know what we have to look forward to. Just because you're getting older doesn't mean you should be able to charge that much. What happened to the good ole' days, Uncle Neil? Those prices kind of contradict what you preach.

    Yes. Yes I do. I am in love with Pearl Jam. To me 'Pearl Jam' has always meant this: A pearl is created from individual particles of dirt coming together and forming something beautiful. A pearl is a miracle. Ed, Stone, Jeff, Mike and Matt are a bunch of dirt bags that came together and created something beautiful, something unlike anything else in the world.

    To deify individual members is unhealthy and, i would venture to guess, not looked highly upon by the band. Didn't Eddie say, more than once, he didn't want to become bigger than the music?

    It's a decent chunk of change, but if you can afford to shell out the money you probably won't regret it by the end of the night. I've never seen an Eddie solo show (I live in the South, and I think the guys in Pearl Jam have a collective allergy to warm weather haha), but I saw Ben Folds play a solo gig about 10 years ago and had a blast. I agree with the other posters on here - a solo show is about so much more than the music.
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    go see jersyey boys at the Orpheum then .. tickets are only $75
    Jethro tull .. tickets on lower level are $100
    west side story ...$75
    the nutcracker ..$100 for lower level

    Sounds like a good deal to see eddie in a small venue in your market ...

    I would've gladly paid $200 a ticket if he played Denver.

    I wish the tickets in my cart wouldn't have expired so I could have paid under 100 a ticket to see the show in Chicago. Now, who knows how much it will cost or if I'll be able to afford it at all. When in my position, $94 seems like a nice problem to have. Enjoy the show.
