    It's not 1994 anymore. People grow and priorities change. I'm not overly concerned about what they said or did in the past.

    Unfortunately it's not 2016 anymore, either. From $188 to $247 in just two years...that's a lot.
    I’m guessing the ticket issue caused this. Scalpers pick them up and get huge profits. Higher face value, the less attractive to people who don’t want them

    These threads crack me up....
    Fans not admitting that this band is turning into late-era Rolling Stones cracks me up
    petition the people charging $40 venue fees PER TICKET.  it's hardly only the bands doing.

    we get it you want tickets to be $50 each.  things change.

    if you feel the price is too high vote with your wallet.

    More people in the crew. Venue charges more, ticket distributors need to be paid. It’s a bigger operation. More people that need to be paid

    This is the nature of the many beasts here.  There are so many different forces at play.  But this much is certain, there are fans simply being priced out of the equation here in my estimation.

    This. All major acts are pretty expensive for live shows. It’s just the way it is now.

    Hopefully these prices will deter folks from entering every show lottery and we all get what we TRULY want. That being said, it was nice the last few tours that their prices were actually BELOW what other top tier acts were charging. The fact now that they are on average I guess is OK. Good luck to all.

    I am shocked at these ticket prices. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it but what happened to being reasonable enough every fan could attend? I'm disappointed in this. I know, I know, if I don't like it I can not go so you others have a better chance. But PJ taught me to stand for something or fall for anything and I can not keep my mouth shut about this. And don't give me this "well, it's for charity". These band members don't need to jack prices up to be able to afford to donate. And if fans are that fortunate they can donate on their own, not through inflated ticket prices. I used to brag about how PJ treats their fans...

    It's still worth it, but is a lot of money to watch the screens.

    What would be considered an average ticket price or good ticket price in the US?

    What costs the same now as it did in 94?
    Good point. But comparing directly to 2016 at Wrigley it’s a 30% increase in 2 years. I’m still buying...but those are just the facts.

    Yup. Solid point. I’m hoping the extra 30% from 2016 prices was used to obtain more Ten club tickets. Then we’ll worth it!

    2018:  "Pearl Jam has partnered with Ticketmaster." 
    A child's rhyme stuck in my head...
    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    Ten Club tix for Seattle are $259 for a pair......$129.50 each ticket.

    In 2016, I paid $188 for pairs at Fenway and MSG........$94 each ticket.

    That's a $35.50 increase in 2 years, or over 37%.  Wow!

    I understand its not 1994 anymore, but I guess its also not 2016.

    I realize it has nothing to do with 1994 but one has to admit that this is a big price jump from 2016.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
