    hopefully pearl jam doesn't become the who in that respect

    Really...ticket prices are reasonable...PJ tickets are are getting up their in price...that is if they ever decide to do a proper tour again.

    I was just about to post this. Maybe there's hope they'll add a Texas show. :lol:

    Ed performed Naked Eye with Roger, which I'd have loved to have heard.

    Yes!!!!!!!!! If I had the cash I'd do it for sure. Or check the Platinum Seats tab on the right of the Box Office tab and score row 8 for $680. :D

    Speedy, you do know they added another Chicago show? I know, I know, but if I was throwing down a lot of money for tickets I'm not sure I'd want to add a road trip to the cost.

    If you're gonna spend the bucks tho, I'd go for a platinum package and get something really sweet.

    I CANT STAND any/all of the Chicago venues...
    Pathetic sound....

    I have passed on plenty of Pearl Jam shows in Chicago, for this very reason...

    Those $700 tickets were one of the packages...
    Im not sure which package it was...hehehe
    But it included some free nonsense...hehehehe

    Ya, $700 is a ton of cash. I spread $600 over two shows. The first show I got decent lower bowl seats, and the second show I got 15th row floors dead centre. I still can't believe my wife agreed to two shows. Holy shit, I'm going to see The Who play Quadrophenia twice. :D Choose well my friend. 8-)

    You're really just paying for good seats. Well worth it IMHO.

    The amount of $$$ I've spent this year on concerts is a bit ridiculous...but this one is gonna be damn hard to stay home for! For now I am ticketless but I definitely think once the DC date rolls around, I'll have to pick up a ticket last minute :shifty:

    Yeah, I'm real partial to those last minute ticket drops. It's a little stressful but I've learned there is always a ticket.

    Speedy, I just checked and I think a better route would be to grab a couple of seats in section 121, row 8....there's a block of like 5 of them there (including aisle seats) and they can be had for $143.50 each.....it amounts to being like 5 rows back from where you'd be on the floor but a better vantage point in my opinion (and on Pete's side)....let me know, I scored a 3rd row single in section 120 beside it for the same price...can't wait!!! :D

    Well, the "free" stuff isn't really free. But, how many posters do you buy? T shirt? Plus, a couple of the packages have an open bar for a couple hours before the show. How much do you spend on drinks/food before the show?

    Again, a pretty penny to drop. But, when you start factoring in some of that stuff, it starts to make a bit of sense. If you're someone that strictly goes to the show, doesn't buy ANYTHING before or at the show, then yes, it's all nonsense. But, if you go out to dinner before, to a bar before, start deducting that stuff off the price, and the cost of the better seat doesn't seem quite as silly.

    I'm not sure what the $350 per seat package included. Maybe, it was the more expensive one that had the open bar, etc. But, I can say personally, some of those VIP packages were VERY tempting when you could GUARANTEE a (let's say) 7th row seat AND get a couple hours open bar/food/lithograph/tour program and other goodies (Parking? Entrance?). I know at that point, my cost for the "ticket" is my "all in" for the night, and I don't have to worry about dropping coin on a dinner or bar bill or be tempted to buy memorabilia (and did I mention I'm guaranteed a great seat?)

    Of course, if you can afford it.....

    I think I just got Speedy in some trouble. :twisted:
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I see they still have the CD for the March 5, 2007 Chicago show. It's a good one. The DVD sold out a long time ago.

    Thanks for the tip, will go check it out, those prices are hard to resist! :D

    Most of the shows I have are from the UK/Euro tours, (London (x4), Birmingham, Cardiff & Isle Of Wight all from 2004, plus Bristol, Locarno and Madrid from 2006 are all favourites) Though I do have a couple of US shows from 2002 (Irvine and LA)...
