    Thanks PJ for the perfect storm of decisions bringing us the most expensive concert tickets ever!
    Blame the laws in those states not pearl jam

    PJ knows the laws
    PJ sets the dates
    PJ decided to do an extremely light N.east run after 4 years of no arena shows
    PJ could have picked Newark 
    PJ decided not to bundle fall dates w/ spring for NYC to lower odds
    PJ wanted to bask in the bright lights of Broadway when Gigaton is released.

    Other than that, I'm in full agreement. $20,000 tickets and no face value exchange are NYS fault.
    Interesting logic....so you give them credit for the dates in every other state?  They should have boycotted NY and CO and shut you out anyway?

    Just listing the decisions made. I can go to Balt, but it's getting tiring with the travel. So I'm ok with missing out.

    NY is partially to blame and as this hasn't happened before IIRC not sure the NY legislature could have predicted this perfect  storm of decisions.

    All NY Shows will now be at the Prudential center.  

    Or just one big show at the Meadowlands.

    Yes, I am not clear on why they wouldn't have done this.

    Good luck!

    There were some 200s behind the stage I fantasized paying $740 for over the weekend. Cheaper than flying to Quebec 

    I checked earlier and the SOB raised the full price to $797.

    But it doesn't matter whether the Fan To Fan Exchange is set up in NY or not. Even if it was, people who wanted to sell their tickets would have no reason to use it when they could just use StubHub.

    I guess, that’s very true.  I just don’t want to wait too long. It’s frustrating. But I’ll be in the building one way or another. I’ll try to be patient and try a little more on the forum.

    This is another good point. Between that and the fans that are trying to trade their EXTRA msg tickets for other shows, it’s making me want to jump on a pair from stubhub. I will do my best to wait a little longer. It’s a weird situation to be in fir me honestly

    One thing I know I won’t do , is not be a 10c member anymore because of this haha. And if I did decide to do that , I promise all of you I will go quietly and not start another thread announcing my departure

    does this mean i can't trade my Toronto ten club ticket for an MSG ten club ticket?
    You can’t trade tickets period. You only buy and sell them on the fan to fan exchange. And yes, NY tickets are excluded.
    oh that sucks
    38 concerts and counting

    Some fans will want to respect the wishes of their face value only beloved band and not want to deal with the hassle of having an extra $20,000 in their pockets.

    Those hypothetical people are free to go list their tickets on StubHub for face value.

    It is not that simple.  The venues all have to get in line with what PJ wants to do not only date wise but how they handle the fanclub tickets.  Ticketmaster doesn't own the venues, just the contract to distribute tickets for events in the venues.  If a venue says NAH you can't have that many seats or some other variety of things, they are not getting a PJ show.    This has been going on for awhile now where venues have been axed because they can't comply with contract bid the promoter puts out on behalf of the band.

    So, could they have picked alt venues in the greater NYC area, sure, but there is no evidence that they didn't want to but dates and assorted other things may not have lined up.

    And it is also entirely possible that Ticketmaster asked given all the concessions that were made to try and make this tour work that they also have MSG and Denver in the mix to see how the whole process shakes out.  
    His eminence has yet to show.

    There is a "cheap" (and by "cheap" I mean the best price I have seen since Friday) pair for MSG on Stubhb right now for anyone looking.

    $405 before fees.

    Edit....aaaaaand sold in 2 minutes.
