Wrigley Tickets
Hi All, new to the boards - they're great. My wife and I are long time fans. We tried for Wrigley tickets in the first 10C lottery, going for home run GA tickets first and then spent over an hour in the waiting room. As a result, no tickets. However, the combination of Pearl Jam and Wrigley is perfect for our annual summer concert road trip, so we decided to look for tickets in a section we liked, 200 level, lower, close to beer and bathrooms. We found some tickets at a reasonable price compared to others and bought them. After a quick discussion about entering the second lottery and selling our other tickets if we won, we decided to pass and not potentially take tickets from another 10C member.
During our search, we read many posts telling us tickets will get cheaper closer to the show. I'm a college professor with training in economics and finance and am always interested in academic questions related to markets, such as market efficiency and the over reaction hypothesis related to initial actions when new information is released. The market reaction to PJ Wrigley tickets fascinated me. As a result, we're conducting an academic study on Pearl Jam Wrigley ticket prices to test this area. Basically, what this theory says is initially buyers will over react (pay too much) based on the information PJ was the quickest sell out in Wrigley history, tickets will be hard to get and overall publicity about the ticket sales.
I thought you may be interested in some initial findings. We collected data on all ebay sales of PJ Wrigley tickets since Feb. 14th, when the majority of first auction sales ended and have collected data through today. The majority of sales have been in the 200, 400 and 500 levels. So far, overall average ticket prices have declined 10% in March compared to February; with 200s and 400s down 8% and 500s down 17%. These results confirm post we read saying ticket prices will go down, especially 500 level.
If there's interest, I'll post periodic updates. Can't wait until Wrigley and the potential fall tour.

As for your experiment, the real interesting part will be day of the show. Watching 10c members helping other members out by selling extras at face value next to pond scum trying to drain every penny from your soul.

As previous posts note, Ebay prices continued to decline yesterday, with the March average selling price now 12% lower than February. Another post stating CL prices have not really declined is also supported as asking prcies in March have only dropped by 6%.

I'll try to update again on March 31st.
Great info....thanks!!
To all: Any idea as to why, as least in the raw data thus far, 400's are more pricey than 200's? I'm not familiar w/ Wrigley but it'd seem that 200's would be more desirable :?

11/22/15 - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Per other fan's expert knowledge, if you are not in the first few rows (first 7) in the 200 level you will probably have an obstructed view wether it be a pole or the section above you.

Not to mention compromised sound under the rafters.
One of the best/useful threads I have read in a while. Thanks for sharing all your data collecting!
My daughter the college professor will be at the show also.
Most recent: 2018 Stadium shows: Seattle 2, Missoula, Fenway 1 and 2; 2022: Oakland 1 and 2
I wonder how a new album release would affect those prices. Oh, wait. I'm not holding my breath. :yawn:
