    I wouldn't say 9 pairs of face value tickets in the 2nd level is "collapsing". It'll be a mostly sold out show come the 29th. 
    I hope so.  Need the energy of a full house.  Maybe they can let people move down if there are empties in the 400s and rows back in the 200s.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Honestly not surprised. Selling out two United Center shows less than a year ago, and then playing Wrigley twice a year later seemed crazy to me. Would have been more fun if they played Michigan and Ohio instead. 
    Yes!  It has been 10 years since there was a proper Michigan date and would have made my life a lot easier 😉

    Posting 1 GA for Missoula at 815am PST. Hopefully someone here can get it.
    I was able to cart (but didn’t hit submit)- I was just curious whether I would be able to cart it. Hopefully someone here got it. 
    I posted right around 816am PST. I'm sure someone got it by now, but it will shows as "pending offer' in my TM account and I haven't seen any e-mail notification that it sold.
    @UmphreysJam34 - was this ever resolved?  I listed a pair for Chicago 2 a few mins ago and now I see "2 Pending Offer" as the "Listing Status", but it does not appear the tickets are available anymore.  Odd!

    https://my.ticketmaster.com/ds/vQGA7BW1He/event/04006046E94625A2
    So about 4 hours after I listed them and they presumably sold, I started a live chat with TM. I got an automated response they were looking into it and would get back to me. Sure enough, 5 mins later I got an e-mail stating the listing sold. It still says my payout is on hold which I’m worried about, but it moved from “pending offer” which sounds like what you’re seeing to sold. Sounds like the same issue. 
    Appreciate this!  I got the "Sold" email about an hour after listing and "Payout Sent" so good to go.  Hope you get your cash soon!
    Thanks! Glad to hear everything went through for you. I just received the following response from TM last night, so it looks like things are moving along, even though it still says "Payout on hold". Hopefully no one else continues to have issues.

    "I understand that you have concerns regarding your payout as it shows "Payout on Hold". My apologies for the delay in receiving a response to your query. This was due to the high volume of interaction we are receiving.

    Upon checking, I see that you've already updated your card on August 12, 2024, and the payment process started after that. I apologize for the confusion that it has caused regarding this. You should receive your payout within 5-7 business days starting from that date."

    Recent Vedder Interview below. At $150 a ticket the shows are grossing about $2.5 million and most are way more than that at 16,000 seats. It's kinda funny that they can't make enough money to cover costs at that. Its an outright joke. Adding premiums at $500 average for 2000 seats adds another $700k net to the gross. And then they are holding back seats and fan club folks are in the uppers? not right at all.
    I will give them credit that pre-covid, they did keep ticket prices down and I can see at the restart of touring in 2021/2022 yes, there was gauging probably but NOW? I can't believe these guys are that busy they can still overcharge for trucks and crews....but again, we really don't know but if this band can't make it selling out every gig basically in a heartbeat at these prices, then what the hell are the other folks doing? 
    to compare. Greta Van Fleets tickets are mostly $100 or less and they are playing arenas and have a bigger show than PJ does and I can assure you they are not doing it AT A LOSS. Its all a choice. They do much less premiums at lower prices as well.
    The part I'm more burned about is those lowers in Philly that didn't go to fan clubs while alot of us got uppers at that gig for the first time ever. I know demand is high but they should NOT be holding these back. Same with Wrigley.
    oh well, move along...nothing is going to change. I think PART or MOST of the issue is, they are NOT doing the same amount of dates so they have to charge more to make up for that. Look at the tours in 2013 and 2016, lots more dates. This is what you get with an aging band. Get used to it i guess.....

    We know the industry took a nearly two year beating from Covid, and in the time since, faced cancellations which also cost lots of $.

    Greta VF plays roughly triple the amount of shows that PJ plays. Their techs and support likely do not command the compensation required by PJs crew. Greta mixes in many smaller venues, which probably keeps their touring overhead costs lower. A fair comparison would be to PJs peers, such as Metallica. Major concerts like this cost $200. The one issue, is PJ doesn’t offer much of a lower price for upper level seats which is unfair. Their legacy ticketing system likely makes that difficult

    They told us numerous times they need sell premium tickets to keep down “face value.” Are they lying to us? My preference would be to have a fairer version of face value. The best seats should  cost the most, but they are likely trapped by a pricing and seating  model they developed when they were very young. So without premium seats, those legacy seniority tickets will probably have a much higher face than $200.

    Looks like TM shut off fan 2 fan at Wrigley to push their premium tickets.

    I’m sure they will turn F2F back on in a day or two. They are just playing their games. This happened with Indy last year when I was trying to sell tickets.

    It’s not fatal in the case of Wrigley because you can still transfer.  Bigger issue for other shows.
