    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. 
    Except your original post on the previous page said nothing about ticket prices.

    That would be funny. The most preachy right on band in the world , forever ramming their luxury beliefs down our throats which is fine as long as they keep putting out decent music starts censoring their own message board because of they don’t want to hear feedback.

    my Facebook and insta feeds is awash with Ticketmaster ads for the White Hart Lane - already….

    Arena shows are wagyu steak and club shows are tacos. If you lived by your own principles you'd be cool scarfing down tasty tacos. But you're on here insisting on the wagyu and asking the chef to give it to you for taco prices.

    $1,900 seats in MSG.  That's all that needs to be said. 100% Eddie from 1995 would not be okay with it.  2024 Eddie is okay with it.

    So like Eddie, we need to change or move along.  This thread may be a good place for venting, but change anything it will not. 

    Does Whipping hit the same now?  Probably not.

    I actually care more that the shows have gone from 35 songs down to 22 songs than I am about the tickets being $50 more. By the time I pay for travel and the time to get there, it isn't really worth it for a single show.

    It is like how it now costs $20 to go to Chipotle and the employee shakes the scoop several times to make sure I don't get that extra cube of chicken.

    They say if you’re not a socialist at 20 you haven’t got a heart and if you’re not a capitalist at 50 you haven’t got a mind.

    I'm not here to carry water for the band and I'll happily call them out when I disagree with them. That said, Pearl Jam ticket prices have long been kept artificially low relative to what they could be charging. What the band charges has frequently been been multiples less than what comparable acts were asking for for their seats, particularly in the best locations. As for the PJ Premium seats, those are a small portion of the seats available so to act like that is the price for all tickets is disingenuous. PJ Premium seats are also a concession in order for the band to even get 10 club seats in todays day and age. Imagine if the folks here had to pay market price and didn't have the opportunity for 10c drawings like 99% of other musical acts?

    Yes. Things have changed. Yes the band has softened its stance on dealing with the devil (ticketmaster). Is it a perfect system? No. That doesn't mean we don't have it better than fans of most bands when it comes to ticket prices. Would you rather be paying $1,300 on stubhub before fees to get an obstructed view balcony seat to Taylor Swift?

    Make sense.  You don't have enough life experience at 20 to understand every side to every argument or situation.  Not to say that means that once you do you realize capitalism is the way to go.

    I've always heard this worded as "If you're a 20-year-old Republican/Conservative, you have no heart, and if you're a 50-year-old Democrat/Liberal, you have no brain."
