    Hey everyone,

    I need some help please:

    This is my current situation (screen shot below) and not very technically minded... I've mailed what I think is the support mail, hoping for an answer soon. Tried across multiple devices and browsers, but no luck... Trying to buy for Europe leg. 

    Has anyone else had these issues?
    Can anyone give me a step by step to fix this on Safari?

    ps. Yes, the tickets are pricey - I'm on a South African budget and so starved to watch Pearl Jam play - that I'd be willing to pay almost anything to see them live - and have already travelled out of the country once to see Pearl Jam.

    I've looked at other show prices and seen they are very much in line.

    We all wanted new music, a tour and the chance for tickets - prices have risen everywhere - arenas have been underutilised and probably charge more than ever for the facility. Not to mention we don't even have to pay for the CD / Vinyl anymore to play their music over and over. 

    Let's just learn to be grateful... it'll help, I promise.

    Has anyone else still not had an e-mail confirmation of their TC ticket selections? I made mine about 4 hours ago but nothing.
    I still haven't received a confirmation email and it's been about 12 hrs. I cannot find a phone number for Ticketmaster UK either, and I cannot find out how to contact them online as they always ask for an order number and I don't have one 😔

    After sleeping a night to think about the ticket prices for a show, I'm not willing to pay 175€ as a Ten Club member. Like many others, I've been a fan my whole life. I traveled all across Europe to see the shows. I stood in line for hours to buy shirts and posters and to get a place in front of the stage. The fact that you now want 175€ from the most loyal fans in the world is a slap in the face. This has nothing to do with the values that you always tell your fans like a mantra. This is really a big disappointment.


    Don't be sad its over - be glad it happened.

    Sit in your garden in the sun with a beer and listen to the new album - it will likely be more enjoyable than a football stadium gig.

    that's what we did when amsterdam got cancelled and it surely was an enjoyable and memorable evening!

    growing up with bands like pearl jam and fugazi it becomes an ethical decision whether i want to pay 175e via ticketmaster. some  transparency about the doubling of the ticketprices would have been nice. feels like we're paying for someone elses' mistakes ..

    Why are some people saying that golden circle is for ten club only? Is that confirmed anywhere? 
    The seating map shows a purple area which says Front Standing, and the option you select says 'Front Standing or reserved seat" so if you manage to get front standing in the lottery you'll be in that purple section.

    The general GA behind that is in grey and that will be available in the general sale.

    I'm just speculating but seeing as they've said that availability is limited it will just be 10c members who get lucky in the lottery who get that section.

    Ouch! £163 per ticket for Manchester. I was honestly expecting more like £100-120.

    Ticketmaster does that to me when I am on a VPN.

    Maybe the tickets went up so much is because the band really really likes money like most of us? There is nothing wrong with it. Some people seems to bend over backwards coming up with other reasons why prices are so high. Inflation and others reasons play a role, but if they can charge it, they might as well maximize revenue.

    There it is...the point where live music becomes a privilege for a chosen few.  

    yes. and they'll get the crowd they deserve :)

    luckily there are still great bands playing smaller venues out there.

    Why not all of the above?

    OF course, they want to maximize their revenue and provide for their families... and they're getting older and want to play fewer shows... and they're running a business w/ employees to support... and it's expensive AF to tour post covid... I don't think it comes down to one single factor.

    I don't have a VPN - I am in Europe at the moment with South African devices... but nothing aside from that. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I think the issue is it shows how hypocrite they are, because they try to sell the image that they care for the "normal" people. I guess we need to make peace with the fact that they are as greedy as any rich out there, and that we are just money machines for them. It is not about the music anymore, is about the bussiness.. Im sure there are some middle ground there to charge a fair price w/o impacting their revenues, unless what they want is just more revenues just because they can.

    If RHCP or any other come with this prices and way to treat fans, It wouldn't be a suprise. I know who they are, and they are not trying to sell any awareness image.. you know what you get. 

    I guess that now we know what we will get. There were already some clues. I guess this is the confirmation.

    Playing Devil's advocate and what not, I went back to look at my prior ticket purchases to see price jumps. There's been a few times where between tours there looks to be a 35-65% price jump. Sometimes, its smaller like 7-10%.  This time just happens to be one of the larger ones. These are way less than what I paid to see Springsteen last Feb in ATL.  I feel like they're on par with what I paid for the Peppers in Nashville like two years ago. 
    And a smidge less than what I'm paying for FF in Denver this summer. And a little less than Springsteen in Baltimore this year.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, shows are expensive, and will continue to get more expensive.

    OF course, they want to maximize their revenue and provide for their families... and they're getting older and want to play fewer shows... and they're running a business w/ employees to support... and it's expensive AF to tour post covid... I don't think it comes down to one single factor. 

    It is a post COVID TM business model. They want to capture the secondary market and maximize revenue from every seat. If someone is willing to pay $400 on stubhub shouldn't the band get some of that revenue? Of course it is TM that wants that revenue and they share it with the artist. That is what is happening and that is why ticket prices are so much higher. That is why you see $800 seats on TM after the "public onsale." Those seats are not released to the public at face value. They (PJ Premium) are priced high to determine the market price and TM shares the proceeds with the artist. That is the value proposition and it is hard for the artist to say no. Companies like stubhub make millions and none of that goes to the artist. And of course, TM wants that revenue. It is not about inflation or the cost of touring IMHO.
