So I've been hearing for a week about how all the scalpers have tickets to Wrigley and no fans do (except for myself and apparently the 3 luckiest Pearl Jam fans in the world). You people are right, the scalpers do have a ton of Wrigley tickets, just maybe not for the band you thought. Based on the information below, the scalpers have 5x more tickets for Jason Aldean than Pearl Jam. 5 TIMES MORE. You know what's worse? Jason Aldean tickets are still available, and he's charging more for face. So if they are still available why aren't the scalpers buying all of them based on the last week's "scalpers own Wrigley" nonsense. Here are the facts as of this posting time:

Jason has 3341 tickets available with this scalper:

Pearl Jam has 616 with the same scalper:

Jason also has 8377 tickets available on the "hated" Stubhub here:

Pearl Jam has 1370 tickets available with the same Stubhub "devil" here:
http://www.stubhub.com/pearl-jam-ticket ... 5683164155

Here is the opinion based on logic:
Seems to me you haters out their should realize that PJ did a pretty good job at trying to score us tickets and for those that didn't get them they had another 10 MILLION PEOPLE of the Chicagoland area to deal with who wanted a night out at a beautiful venue. When people like my stepdad, who hasn't been to a rock concert since Kiss at the New World in 2000 want to go, A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO GO. This place holds 45,000 people roughly for a show, Aldean still has tickets available for face and still 25% are being scalped. Pearl Jam has 4% being scalped. We should be more up in arms that Jason Aldean is playing 2 nights at Fenway the week prior to Wrigley

    But then again does anyone really know who Jason Aldean is, or really care? Glad I have my GA tix. Great comparison.
    living in the present tense.

    Jason Aldean went on sale 3 months ago in early November; buyers have had tickets in hand for a couple months now. Wrigley went onsale 6 days ago, most scalpers are waiting to receive the tickets before listing them.

    this..and...so many fans shut out..are angry,upset..

    and see so many tix at scalpers hand..so,OP..what do you expect?
    To send flowers to stubhub?

    sure 10c did good job,as it seems had the best ticket at the venue,at seated and all GA,
    but people try at public sale was a disaster...waiting at wating room for hours and then sold out..
    i understand that people will feel bad..and sure they not have friendly feeling for scalpers site

    Because the demand for the Aldean show is a small fraction of the demand for the PJ show. He's doing a full nationwide tour leading up to Wrigley. Scalpers now know that; if tickets are still available on tickets.com, no one is going to pay marked up prices on Stubhub (except for those who want close seats). Scalpers holding those 8,000 tickets on Stubhub will end up taking a bath.

    WOW!!! Just took a look at these two shows on Stubhub. The cheapest PJ ticket is $250, Aldean starts at $60. 7,500 of the Aldean tickets are cheaper than the cheapest PJ ticket!!! Those are the important facts.

    The difference in demand is ridiculous. To put it in Cubs terms, Aldean is a late August game with the Cubs in the cellar, mathematically eliminated months ago. PJ is game 7 of the World Series.

    And now a ridiculous comment that probably isn't too far off. 8,300 Aldean tickets have been on Stubhub for months. 1,300 PJ tickets for 6 days. Stubhub has probably already sold more PJ tickets compared to Aldean tickets.

    I don't listen to country music but I think PJ wouldn't be having this epic concert if it wasn't for him. There basically splitting that cost. Stage, sound, lighting, ECT.

    His show will also sell out by day of event.

    Everybody and anybody that wants to go to this show is gonna pay big bucks to attend. It sucks but this is like the super bowl of rock concerts. No cheap ticket

    Good luck!

    "PJ is game 7 of the World Series" :nono:

    Not even close. I know it's been a while but here is that perspective. Game 7 @ Wrigley for the title... Min $1500 to get in. $2500 ll down the lines. 3500-5000 inside the infield. And I am not from Chicago. How much we're Blackhawks tickets in the cup... $1000-$1500.

    I saw the phillies play the Yankees in 2009 on Halloween. Spectrum 4 scalped for $100-$300. The phillies were $750-$2000 directly across the street.

    More appropriate analogy... PJ is a late September series vs. the Cards for the division.

    Thanks for listening. Everyone can get back to their regularly scheduled complaining!

    I admit, Game 7 was too extreme, but I think you get the point. OP is trying to compare the two shows...there's no comparison. Both shows are 5 months away; tickets for the Aldean show are already offered on Stubhub for under face value while the cheapest PJ tickets are more than 3x face. Aldean has been on sale for over 3 months and hasn't sold out...PJ sold out in a couple hours.

    8,300 vs 1,300 has nothing to do with Ten Club doing a good job. PJ scalpers don't have their tickets yet, and no one wants the Aldean tickets.

    The number of PJ tix available on stub hub isn't a static number. It is constantly changing and being replenished so actually you have no idea how many tix the scalpers actually have. Yesterday I opened the page that displays the available tickets.... number was something like 1280. An hour or two later it was 1240. Another hour or two later and it was like 1290. Without a record of total sold from stub hub to go along with the amount currently available, trying to guess what the scalpers have is really not possible.

    And just for the record, being disgusted with the scalpers isn't the same thing as blaming the band, so this haters label for anyone that is ticked at the scalpers is completely illogical.

    Again, I love some people. Before just assuming things and thinking Pearl Jam is the end all be all of everything, why don't you look up some things before posting. Aldean has toured so much over the last 3 years that it would put a lot of bands to shame. Since January 2010, he has had 250 (mostly sold out arena) or so concerts around the U.S. He has put out two huge albums in the last three years. One selling 2.8 million copies and the other that hasn't been out for too long sold just over 400,000 albums its first week of being released.

    Comparing Aldean and Pearl Jam makes no sense. A band who has been around for 20 plus years to a country artist who is currently hitting his peak. I am a huge Pearl Jam fan, but I just hate some of the completely irrational, knee jerk, close-minded things that get said around here.

    Oh and people who are like "cool hat" talking about Aldean and being just assholes. Do a quick search of Ament and look at some of the hats he has worn.
