    Yeah seriously, I paid over 200 for tickets to The Police for last summer and this summer. And WELL OVER that for FRONT row. I am still shocked that I will be able to see these guys for 80ish bucks.

    *is shocked*
    THE POLICE:
    7/28/07 Fenway
    7/29/07 Fenway
    7/31/08 Mansfield
    8/01/08 Saratoga
    08/03/08 Holmdel
    08/04/08 Jones Beach
    08/05/08 Jones Beach

    PEARL JAM 6/30/08??

    It frustrates me as well. I honestly don't see what the problem with posting the tickets prices would be. They gave that type of information out back in '03, but it seems this whole process has just gotten worse in the past 5 years.

    times are tough ten club. we need this information to PLAN.

    not at the 10C. why would they be? they've doubled the annual membership and the number of members in the past 5 yrs or so.

    they need to get of their high horses.

    the band and the fanclub used to treat the fans like they were one and the same. theyve become detached. its unfortunate.

  • haha they are sick of us
    This is the email I sent:

    I was just wondering what the ticket prices were going to be? Either specifically for the MSG and Camden shows or a general range would be fine.

    Thanks!

    This is the response I received:

    Average ticket prices for today’s ticket market ...

    Thanks

    Is it me, or does that border on rude? I don't understand why the ticket prices are such a secret. I understand that they were most likely overwhelmed with emails (actually - when are they ever not overwhelmed) but I imagine they know 2 days before the presale starts how much the tickets are going to be.

    no one is saying its not a great value. i would've paid 1000 for a Vic ticket if I couldve gotten my hands on one. but youre missing the point. a lot of people have to plan every 5 dollars they spend. do you think when Ed was pumping gas in the 80's he went to shows without knowing how much a ticket was? no. theyve forgotten where they came from and in selling 20,000 tickets, theyve forgotten about those 2,000 fans that save and save to buy a ticket.

  • The 10C knew when they put the announcement out that they weren't going to include ticket prices, they full well knew they'd have a ton of emails about it and phone calls. All they said was:
    The base ticket price will vary per show, plus additional venue and handling fees.

    At least put on that, "we will get the exact information as soon as it is finalized." or something to reduce the amount of questions they will get.

    Personally I don't really give a shit if the tickets are $50, $75 or $100 but it would be nice to know how much I'm going to be spending on Wednesday and Thursday, its really not a whole lot to ask. If they don't have it, then just tell us they don't. If they do and they don't want to tell us for whatever reason, then they deserve 1,000 questions.

    good call. for a band of pearl jam's stature playing at a ticketbastard venue, 60 dollars for the best seats in the house is pretty damn good.

    AGREED, stop your bitching and do something about it. BOYCOTT!!!

    Better for the rest of us who don't have a problem with ticket prices. Amazing how ungrateful you all sound!

    That was a pretty shitty answer to a very simple question. I would rather get no response at all than get a rude one like that.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    What's wrong with the response? He asked for a "general range" and they said "average ticket prices for today's market". Would you have been happier if they responded with "We don't know"?

    oh come on.. the guy was just curious how much tickets were....
    Which would be fucking nice to know. Not all of us have credit cards... some people are having to work really hard and plan extensively to do shows. Knowing how much money you are gonna have to spend is pretty important ;)

    i know when wahhhs are deserved... this isnt the time :P

    Live nation says for mansfield that tickets for seating is $60, lawns are $40. I would expect 10 club tickets would be a bit more.
