    People have been saying the band has been dropping off since Ten. We can relax on that point. 

    Basically if you are here and emotional about something, this band still lands for you and firing off a keyboard missive that contains " The band has sucked since xxxx..." is just being a butt hurt person spouting off.

    I wonder if the band reads or knows about the disgruntled fans or even care anymore! Or maybe they don’t have a clue on what’s happening with this issue 🤔
    The fans on here that defend and try and rationalize everything that the band does would scare me off even more. 
    No it's definitely the guys attempting to channel Cobain lol

    I like the guys who project sadism onto the band. "You know what really freaks them out? When people say supportive things."

    $1919 for one reserved floor seat at MSG.  I guess it’s worth it to someone.

    20 year fan club member, couldn’t get a ticket in a stadium. Complete fucking joke, Pearl Jam. Seriously, fuck you pop stars.

    PJ sold out. 

    They've far exceed "The Simpsons Threshold" of having more time where your records have sucked than the time when their records were quality. Celebrating their 25th year as a legacy band and nostalgia act, it's only right to embrace Dynamic Pricing.

    Kurt Cobain was right about them.

    Tell us you don’t know how a lottery works without saying you don’t know how a lottery works.

    And I got shut out of my two hometown shows before you come at me.  It’s not a 100 percent guarantee in a lottery and verified fan.  It’s really not that difficult to understand.  And if not getting a ticket is the biggest disappointment of your 2024 you are gonna still have a great year

    Is “pop stars” supposed to be a pejorative?

    30 year member here that was shutout of Wrigley but I also understand supply and demand and that tix will be available later. It’s really not a huge deal. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Yeah, mostly just disappointed with the ticket prices. Seem excessive, me as a person with “high” income by statistical standards. Guess I’m officially old at 39. Not so much the lottery loss. Pearl Jam are playing in the Taylor Swift sandbox I guess. Must’ve just discovered Ayn Rand or something. 
    Maybe they will play the RNC soon.

    I acknowledge my bitching. Just disappointed that the band I love is catering to the elites, or just comfortable loyal fans will devote a disproportionate amount of their income to them. Either way, it’s not like my loss of support for the group means anything to them. I was a rural kid who discovered so much through this band in the nineties, have seen a lot of great shows, had a lot of god times, but now that is over. Best live band I’ve ever seen, time and time again, but this just doesn’t align with their messaging or what I’ve always assumed what the band stood for. The middle class and the left is dead, and they are clearly ok with that. The band has meant so much to me for a long time, and this is just a straw that broke the camel’s back moment. It’s just obscene greed.

    Yes. Another group with obscene wealth pretending to be champions of the people. Right up there with our insider trading “left wing” we have in congress. They are probably all friends.

    It’s more price related. Just disappointed. Life goes on.

    I would love to see them play the RNC. It would end up looking like a Doors concert with security cutting the power and dragging the band off of the stage part of the way through after Eddie ripped into the crowd. A set list of Green Disease, I am a Patriot, a customized version of Bu$hleaguer. It would be great.
