Is it me or is $75 for a solo ticket expensive?

I can't believe there are 11 pages of posts here about the price of a ticket to see a legend on stage.

If it is too much for you... Don't go. There are plenty of people who will put your ticket to use.

If it isn't too much, see you there

That's a perfect description of it... sitting around a campfire... or late at night in Eddie's garage-turned-den-turned-sort-of-studio and he's singing and talking about whatever bullshit happens to pop in his head.
It's not something you get to see very often.

it's a true experience isn't it. My friends are still chatting up the Santa Cruz show. I had to ensure to burn copies of the show for each, and they constantly tell me now they can see why I see PJ so often (I started sharing PJ boots with them also), and why I saw Ed three times in April. They're jealous I'm seeing him again, Boston 1 (opening night in the east)

Hahahaha. I agree with you about Ovechkin, too, but I heard off the ice he's kind of a jerk.

I see that your located in a "small town" in Maryland. I'm originally from Maryland myself and just wanted to drop a quick hello to a fellow PJ/MD fan! I live in CA now but was born and raised in MD.

Nice to see some fellow native homeland fans onboard here!!

Peace..

Because it is $75. In your relative situation it may be a lot of money, but in actuality it isn't. I realize how I may sound, but I don't care. Ed isn't touring for college kids.

what's your fucking problem dude? 75 dollars is all relative from person to person. obviously you're fucking rich, and i'm fine with that. you sound like a pompous ass though, and that i'm not particularly fine with. i said 75 dollars is a lot of money because i'm working full-time for not much pay. will it set me back a lil? maybe, but i'll put more money in the bank afterwards. and i'm not a college kid, i work a full-time job and bust my ass as a college graduate. and who are you to say who he is or isn't touring for? he's playing for anyone who wants to go see the man. stop being a fucking asshole just because you're rockerfeller and not in my situation you pompous, elitist douchebag. Go find someone else to get your kicks from dude, because I don't need it.

$75 sure is a lot for a guy with a guitar, regardless of who it is. Plus merch- this is gonna be pricey. But if the option is $75 or he doesnt tour, Ill pay the price.

Incorrect. Male here and paid over $75/per ticket (incl. Ticketbastard fee's) for two solo shows in CA. Considering the great shows I witnessed in a intimate setting along with the chance encounter I had w/Ed after Santa Cruz, I felt like those fee's were a bargain!

Maybe it's women and men who have man crushes on Eddie who ddon't mind paying the $75.

Hah! That made me laugh.

but I don't see why we can't have differences of opinion w/o being all nasty and refusing to see someone else's POV.

To you it's like, whatever, 75 bucks. To me that's a small fortune. Which I spent on the PJ show
And I thought that was too much also.
With ticketmaster fees it was $91.

And even if I had it I wouldn't pay to see him solo. For any amt of money. It doesn't interest me in going.

wait that is 'blasphemous' right?

you know i respect you allie, you're the only reason i stay out of the yankees thread.

For the same price you could see all of Pearl Jam. So why such a expensive ticket for Eddie? How much was the West coast tour per ticket? What happened with keeping ticket cost down?

$75 for ANY concert is too much. It's a matter of whether or not you think it's worth the cost of admission.

I'm still amazed that I agreed to pay $100 each for 4 tickets during the PJ/Tom Petty "experiment". PJ got to play for 80 minutes and even though I like Tom Petty's music it was like listening to their greatest hits album two nights in a row. I was disappointed, but I'm not gonna whine because I knew it wouldn't be as great as the $50 ticket shows where PJ plays as long as they want; I didn't have any other option in my market for that tour.

I remember back in the day pre-2000 when concerts were dirt cheap. $5-30 for most shows. Even Metallica was dirt cheap back then. I suppose most will blame it on Napster, and perhaps it's true.

Looks like you're just trying to get yourself banned..I've noticed you've been on edge lately Mammal..cheer up my friend..

things that have gotten more expensive that Eddie has to buy when he tours:

-Gas
-Wine
-Weed
-Rogaine

A dollar just doesn't go as far as it used to.
