    $695 per ticket now

    crazy
    Keep in mind these Platinum priced tickets only happen with the artist’s permission.
    Yes, but let's not blame Eddie, he knows his worth, he knows what his fans are willing to pay to see him. Bots and scalpers always find a way to make money off him and PJ. So many fans who miss out on buying tickets have pockets deep enough to buy from scalpers. Supply and demand. I'm fortunate that I paid the 10Club lottery price, but if you weren't so lucky and have the funds, you pay the premium prices because we've been doing it for decades for Pearl Jam.

    WTF……Why would they charge me for a commemorative ticket if I did not get tickets to a show?  Figured it would only be part of getting actual tickets?

    That's a nice little bonus "fuck you" from TicketMaster.

    I really hope covid doesn't cause me a problem.. lol.  I completely blew through the checkout screen hoping the system wouldn't glitch or something.  I complete missed the part about not being able to put the platinum tickets on F2F at the face value you paid.. sigh..  Will lose a mint if the border tightens up.

    I was also watching a an interview with Metallica a few years back.  The way they put is the promoter offers them X amount of dollars to play a show.   The promoter guarantees it.   Then it's up to the promoter to make it all work.   They admitted turning a blind eye to some of the practices promoters were engaging in (like selling tickets directly to scalpers above face value).

    I guess if there's any benefit in dynamic vs. scalper, is the artist is at least getting a fair chunk of the money through dynamic.

    My brother will be at BOTH the 40th anniversary shows in San Fran. Metclub >10club by a factor of 10. He gets perks we could only dream of.

    Just saw someone grabbed front row for $235 for Inglewood on Facebook. Why are they releasing these seats a half hour after the sale at 10C pricing? Very odd.

    Comparing how much we paid for tickets has never come up in any preshow small talk I have engaged in. 
    The last conversation I overheard preshow was a fella mention that he was carrying a balance of $16,000 on his CC following the band around.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    That's crazy. Definitely, call customer service about that one.

    I made a twitter thread regarding what I saw for the Seattle show, thanks to dynamic pricing (fortunately, were able to go apples to apples, thanks to as yet unsold ADA tickets).  It'd be great if we could get some of our elected officials to start looking closer at options for breaking up this monopoly.  I know I'm preaching to the choir to fellow Pearl Jam fans on this one, but it feels like an easy win simply on a populist level.

    The WC on that seat makes me think it was a wheelchair seat.

    Wait, what!?  I have never bought a platinum ticket, but any chance you have a screenshot/the text of this @Zod ?  What a bunch of horseshit, cuz you know they're gonna re-list them for the platinum price again!
