European Tour Sales = Desaster

If you were the artist, or even ticketmaster, would you be ok when stubhub resells that $100 ticket for $400? That lost revenue is what drove this new ticket pricing model. The thing that pisses me off the most is the loss of the best seats for the 10C members.lastexitlondon said:It's not fine to charge 170 a ticket anywhere0 -

What do you get for 54€

?? Then 140 Euro would be the „PJ price“.
Platinum 54,00 Euro can only be a contract Point. TM can’t add xx€ for nothing to a ticket and keep the money.How about that for a different Band: 40 Euro ENTRY + 50 EURO Platinum?0 -
Yes, they can and the artist gets a percentage. They can also discount prices and not make as much, but still get their feeD-Day said:?? Then 140 Euro would be the „PJ price“.

Anyone with a
Barcelona Floor Ticket < 226,50€ ?
If yes: Price?
edit: probably minus „Platinum“
Can‘t imagine all Floor Tickets are/were that expensive.
Or it’s almost empty and a SuperSale will show up.Post edited by D-Day on0 -

Was the cheapest show of the tour0 -
Once bitten, twice shy. I came over here planning to see 5 Pearl Jam shows and might not get any. I also experienced cancellation announcements for Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Indianapolis after traveling, checking into hotels, etc. A domestic cancelation is one thing -- this won't cause me to change my plans to travel to Missoula, Chicago, Indy, NYC, etc. And I also have found many alternate gigs to attend here in Europe. But I'm going to seriously consider canceling my flights to New Zealand and Australia in November. Although I think in all likelihood the shows will go off without a hitch, I feel like the risk of cancelation is just too high for these shows to be the centerpiece of a two-week trip halfway across the globe.pdalowsky said:Maybe its only me, but the next euro tour announcement can not come soon enough, I'll still be buzzing about new shows, and I'll still be entering the tenclub lotteries to secure tickets at the outset. Its important to me to make firm plans and know everything is set. My support for these guys is unwavering, there isn't a band in the world who can touch their shows for me.
This has been really really shitty luck. I was devastated to get another cancellation, but crossing everything I can that Barcelona goes ahead. This tour has been blighted but we have to hope it can get back on its feet.
There's a lot of negative talk on here, and I do fully understand the horrible disappointment that we have endured, but talk of this being the end, they won't tour Europe again, they've just lost their loyal travelling fanbase.....isn't this all a little too much?
I will be watching for that next tour announcement with massive fervour. That will be the case until one day they do call it quits. But I sincerely hope that day is far into the distance.0 -
I hear you - and understand this, but I genuinely think if you have a trip planned to Australia, you should absolutely consider going regardless IF you havent been before. I went to Oz some years ago and it remains the one place ive been to that broke my heart coming home. Phenomenal country, so much to do and see and the cities are just wonderful places.SHZA said:

💡Maybe they do a song about the
topic. There is a lot of potential.
This line sounds good enough for the Chorus…There was a midnight drift to showbiz hell.
And a vanishing floor in Barcelona.

This is kind of how I feel. After the first Fenway concert I was wondering if the cost is worth it anymore. Tickets have skyrocketed, The venues and cities they choose to play in are way too expensive. My wife and I are also fortunate enough to be able to afford but would rather spend the money elsewhere.MayDay10 said:I stopped attending Pearl Jam concerts quite awhile ago. A lot of it is price-related. I have the means to afford it for sure, but I am old enough to know the opportunity-cost on spending that kind of money on a consumable ticket. I can see really good live music for a fraction of the price of a pearl jam ticket. Plus not have to travel and assume the costs associated with that
It turns into easily a thousand dollar night for my wife and I to stay in Boston and attend one of there shows.
The ballpark shows were when I kind of got bucked off as well.
I have been fortunate and blessed enough to see the band over 30 times. However, that is kind of a curse as well, as it feels like I have seen it all. Some shows and experiences were better than others, but being perfectly honest, there is some degree of diminishing returns. The ballpark shows to me were a muffled version of a live pearl jam experience, for a much larger price. Plus less shows means its almost mandatory to travel to see them.
The high price, plus travel, and now add in the too-frequent and unfortunate cancellations, it is not something I want to spend multiple $Ks on, and also maybe spend time away from my family.
If they were playing at a reasonably commutable distance for me, I would likely buy 10c tickets to see them 1 more time and probably bring my son. I just don't see myself planning a trip around them (or any band) anymore.
* I wont begrudge the band/management for charging what they do, or judge any of their decisions... And Im certainly not "but y0u f0ught TiCKetm45t3r" guy. It is their ship to steer however they please.0
