Did I suddenly awake in 2017?

If only I was two years younger.

Breaking news: US Pearl Jam fan ponders bands future:

The USA is small fry. Playing in Europe is where the money is. Especially the same festival 2 years ago ... The organizer must be stinky rich.

I am guessing that's a joke?

They can play an MSG residency for $3M+ a night and have no travel and the magic of 20000 PJ fans in an enclosed arena with no threat of bad weather.

haha..if a promoter pays 3 million the band,+advertising,promotion,book the venue ,insurance,security,transportation ,ticket ventor blah blah plus his profit ,do u know how much will be the price of each ticket in msg?.

I feel the EV solo shows should be held in theaters to get the real enjoyment from the intimate experience (I haven't seen a EV show). Is that now going to be a thing of the past? One man playing a ukulele on stage for 50,000 people? Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Staggered pricing $499-$99 - imagine the outrage then over prices.

woodstock lineup has yet to be named you debbie downers

Why would anyone be excited about pearl jam playing Woodstock?

i agree !
absolutely zero interest in woodstock. way too many unknowns to feel like that is a great/safe/sane trip to make. imo
maybe good for locals but

helplessdancer · February 2019

im kinda happy i can now book other shows and not have to worry about whatever pj/ed are doing.
chasing ed to europe is not for me

Apologies, I was talking gross revenue, not net. Still no payday like NYC

$150 * 20000 = $3M

(Gross revenue per night)

Elton came here a few months ago for about $2.5 per show with no backstage seating and U2 was right at 3M last tour.

These seem a little low because Waters did $5.5M for 2 shows nearly a decade ago.

If the show brings in $3 million gross at MSG, the band would be lucky to walk away with half of that. The expense of staging shows at MSG is very expensive, which is why most shows are always priced higher than other markets. For the band to clear $3 mil a night, they would need to gross about $5 mil for the show, so based on 20K tickets sold, average price would have to be $250 per ticket.

Yes, I did correct my statement and say gross revenue.

NYC is very expensive as we are a big union town. But we are not mentioning the big spenders here, merchandise, posters, VIP and Platinum tickets would sell very well here.

And 60 million within a 4 hour drive. Remember how low those MSG odds were in 2016?

I have ZERO interest in seeing Eddie Vedder solo in any venue larger than a theater... if it seats more than 2,500 I am passing

And his solo material is over a decade old now, sure hope he has an album coming with new music to support these shows

davidos · February 2019

PJ has to do something this year... some sort of festival/ballpark high paying shows... Have to keep the machine going.... Doubt Ed is sharing the proceeds with his bandmates... (he's doing the work).

How much do you think additional sales of $15 beers, food, t-shirts adds up to? I'm guessing at least $3M

Jeeze, I think I need to take some of you to a music festival. If you like live music, most US festivals are a blast. Id guess maybe more so in Europe but I have never been. I don't understand why people put limitations on seeing Ed or the band play live. I get not traveling due to the cost, but if they play a festival nearby why not go?
Dimi is right in that every festival wants to book Ed or Pearl Jam. The money is just too good to ignore. This is why I think they will be playing a festival date this year. But its just masturbatory speculation.
As far as MSG goes, the band would easily clear 2m a night. Mostly because the fans cant get enough merch.

If they were a touring band that played tons of shows I would understand festivals but their US shows are few and far between.

If you are a fan about the same age as the band standing six hours in the mud and rain is a non starter. If its really about the money a NY or LA residency will bring in the money. I am not an insider so I cant prove that.

If its not about the money play arenas because the magic of PJ only shows exceeds festivals dealing with bratty kids and fans of other bands clearly not into PJ and also the swampy mud.

Regarding NYC I can only point to the large crowds they draw here, the ticket prices their contemporaries charge, and the enormous population of fans within a few hours drive.

Are we supposed to be excited for Woodstock? I mean I will go if that is all they are doing this year but that festival has shit show written all over it.

Woodstock would SUUUUCCKKKK.... I hope Pearl Jam isn't that corporate. Aren't any of you old enough to remember Woodstock 94 and 99??!

That's kind of where I am. Thought about going to Innings. I just can't picture EV acoustic/storytelling in an Arizona festival setting. Or Cali... but Cali on the beach a little more than AZ. Every concert I've been to in AZ has been overpopulated with loud mouth fratboy types. For a rock show it's not a big deal, acoustic outdoors... eh....
And I'm still considering it. hahaha

But that is the point. With one show they make a ton, play to a huge audience and do not have to play a week of shows. That is a win win win for the band. I think Ed really likes looking out to a huge crowd.

I am about the same age as the band. I would never stand anywhere for six hours to see a rock concert. I would however, enjoy three days of walking around and taking in a ton of live music I might otherwise not see. Its ok if my shoes get muddy.

Id love an arena tour. I just don't see it happening anytime soon. If you want to Ed or PJ this year, chances are it will be a large venue or festival. If PJ plays at all.
