The Pearl Jam Thread

[intodeep]

I really enjoyed the ACL show. I could have done without johnny guitar since that is one of my least favs on the new album, but oh well.

 

loved when mike and stone were jamming together on porch at the end.

oh well.

[jmacomber68w]

I'm not in the Ten Club, I hope I can still buy tickets...

I've seen PJ enough times now that the concert dates weren't that big of a deal...until I saw Band of Horses was the opener. I've been wanting to try them out live and you know with PJ to follow the night will at least be good if not great.

[CortezTheKiller]

The Black Keys are opening for the MSG show. Interesting.

[Maggie]

Count me among those who consider Band of Horses to be a big plus for this tour. I've been wanting to see them for a while now.

 

That said, it looks like I'll be trying for Cleveland during the Ten Club sale. I'm annoyed that they appear to be skipping Pittsburgh again and I'm sure tickets are going to cost much more than I want to pay. But I guess the guys are getting older, so might as well give in and travel a little bit while the opportunity is there. If they add a Pittsburgh show later on I know someone who will probably be willing to pay for the tickets, so that's a plus.

How much are ticket prices these days? Other than Lolla, I haven't seen them since the Riot Act tour.

I last saw them in 2006, so I can't say from experience. But I think I read that tickets are can get in the $160 range for a pair. Don't quote me on that though - I can't remember my source.

 

I'll be paying for both my ticket and my companion's, so that sounds pretty expensive to me . . .

[solace]

for a band that has always railed against high ticket prices, their ticket prices are starting to get out of hand imo.

[borracho]

KC is $49/69

[intodeep]

With Band of Horses opening i wish I could make this show. Just no shows close enough to my area.

their 401K funds got scorched in the decline of '08

[solace]

KC is $49/69

 

that's better than the Philly shows at least, cool

[Love Boat Captain]

KC is $49/69

 

Where are prices listed? Didn't see them on the PJ website, nor on TM. Sure the NYC tix will be more, but wondering how much more?

I got tickets to the Cleveland show very easily from the Ten Club presale today - $150 for the pair.

 

I've been happy with my seat the previous 3 times I've seen the band. I hope I do at least as well this time, since I have to go out of state this time around.

[Analogman]

I was trying to remember what I paid the one and only time I saw them (2003). I think it was 25 or 30 bucks.

 

I read this interview with Neil Peart the other day where he talking about how a band use to tour to promote a record, in that records sales equaled money, but now, bands tour to make money. At least for bands at the level of popularity. I would think that is one of the reasons they have raised ticket prices. And, the cost of touring has of course increased.

I just looked up my history at the Ten Club, and apparently I spent $80.50 in 2003 (for a pair), and $117.40 in 2006. Can't remember what I paid in 2000 when I saw them for the first time.

 

I feel somewhat guilty paying so much when many of the other bands I love play for half that price or less. At the same time, Pearl Jam was my favorite band for so many years. They meant more to me than anything else when I was in high school. I have to go for sentimental reasons alone.

 

And I'm sure they'll put on a great show!

[Analogman]

As long as they don't play too many songs off the last album. I'd like to see them again myself.

[mountain bed]

I wouldn't mind seeing them again either. I think tickets go on sale here Friday. I KNOW my son will be going.

 

When he graduated HS in '06 I got him tickets to a run of Midwest shows as a present. He'd heard the stories about my Dead escapades when I was young and I really wanted him to have that experience.

That's understandable. I don't think I've listened to Backspacer since October, it was such a disappointment. I feel like I should go back and give it another try so I'll at least be familiar with the songs.
