Just received this email re Pearl Jam registration:
More fans registered than there are tickets available for this show.
Some fans were randomly selected to get access to the sale based on ticket availability and others were placed on the waitlist.
If any tickets are left, you may get another shot and will get instructions via text or email.
Remember, codes can't be purchased or transferred; they are unique to individual accounts. Don’t trust anyone trying to sell you a code.
struck out as well. bummer. heard the fan2fan is a bloodbath.
Just booted up my mobile phone for the first time since this morning, received a text that I was off the waitlist with a purchase link, got a box seat way off to the side at one of the Fenway shows. It's obstructed view, but you don't go to a Pearl Jam show for the visuals. I should be able to see whomever is close to the edge of the stage. I'll assume that Matt Cameron is there if I can hear drums. $131 including fees.

Someone in our group went to see KoL at ACL 2013 while the rest of us went to The Cure. The downpour that shut down the final day of the festival ensued during it. Just imagine what it must feel like having to end your festival season for the year getting your clothes ruined at a Kings of Leon set while you could have gotten your clothes ruined at The Cure instead.
("Molly's Chambers" is kind of a banger, I guess.)
I understand it isn't the early 90's anymore. I understand capitalism is rampant and very few are truly innocent anymore. but...
as a diehard Pearl Jam fan for nearly 20 years now, seeing them on both coasts a dozen times...this onsale was absolutely PATHETIC. $175 for behind the stage. $600-800 tickets in the 200 level of arenas at FACE VALUE...they should be ashamed.
I was floored when I saw $600+ premium seats and $180 nosebleeds in Baltimore. I ultimately decided to pass. If I decide to go later, I’ll just check the fan exchange

I was there. We ended the night at the Cure, but I had seen them like 8 times by that point and I was seeing them in NOLA. So while at KoL during Sex on Fire, this couple next to us was fucking on the ground, cowgirl style since y'all are curious, and my boy Joey looked down and goes "sex on fire, indeed." Still the best.
We ran over to the Cure once he said that, it wasn't raining yet by the way. It was when the Cure played Prayers for Rain that the sky just opened up and downpour ensured. They cut him off when he ran late too. The walk up the hill in that fucking rain was brutal, but we ended up at the $10 popup Atoms for Peace show the next day when the fest flooded out.

Okay, that's kind of incredible, while also being the most ACL thing I've ever read. Ended up at that AFP show too! We originally hopped over there when Franz Ferdinand said they booked ACL Live, but they ended up moving venues since there was a mixup and Atoms booked first, so we just stayed there.

I got off the wait list for one of the Fenway shows. Then saw what was available and at what prices. I like PJ but not $150 for right field roof box like them.

I paid way more than I wanted to for a single lower level seat to the Baltimore show. But I live here, have never seen PJ live, and I don't expect them back anytime soon. Plus I got boxed out of tickets for their Baltimore show that was ultimately cancelled during the pandemic, and it seemed impossible to get resale tix at that time. I wish for everyone's sake they were playing Camden Yards instead (45k venue VS 14k at CFG arena). Certainly would have allowed more people to go, and ticket prices may have been slightly more reasonable.
Everything is too expensive. Call it corporate takeover of the music scene, more accurate pricing, or inflation but I’ve been surprised by the prices in seeing for almost everything. Keinemusik is playing LA and sold out what I assume will be a large outdoor venue like LA Historic Park at $130 a ticket.
I can’t necessarily blame anyone, we’ve known for a long time the aftermarket is insane and scalpers hog lots of tickets, so pricing wasn’t matching the true demand, but it also feels like music has suddenly become just another thing rich people dominate and lots of regular people can’t afford.

weird flex, but ok
It wasn't intended to be a flex. It implied that I may have seen the "you're allowed to buy tickets now" text hours after it was sent, yet there were still plenty of tickets left at that time, which meant that not only that the tickets didn't sell out right away, but even the cheap seats (relatively speaking) didn't get scooped up that quickly.

A definitive answer to the current resale situation would be a nice start. But that probably involves fans completely separating themselves from the current system. No buying/reselling online, period. Even buying cheap resale tickets puts money into the system via buyer/seller fees.
Ticket prices should be transparent and all-inclusive. An itemized breakdown of who gets what from the ticket sale would be ideal. Price flexing/demand pricing should be disallowed. Prices should be posted clearly prior to going on sale. No one should be allowed to buy tickets with the intention of reselling them for profit. This includes resale sites. Fan-to-fan face value exchange without additional fees should be readily available. Or there should be a fair system for refunds without the ticket insurance BS. Life happens.
Fixing price inflation is hard. If an artist can sell out arenas at $400 per ticket, where does the pressure come from to lower prices? LiveNation/Ticketmaster isn't going to do anything generous, ever. Some of the huge artists may have some bargaining power with LN/TM, but ultimately that's asking them to negotiate against themselves. Who would voluntarily take less money for a given job? That leaves it to fans to speak with their wallets. If anyone wants to organize a boycott, I wish them luck.

Interesting, thanks. I guess that some tours aren't exclusively LN or AEG.
United Center, Moda Center, Fiddlers Green, Berkeley Greek, Hollywood Bowl are not LN venues. How about theyre booking the venues they want and are also available.
Find somebody who's obsessed with you like tw is obsessed with Suffolk Downs
Which just looks like a temporary stage in a random field. I guess if you couldn't go to woodstock this is a good consolation prize.
its kind of a miserable venue too. re:set was held there and due to its proximity to the airport you hear planes flying over constantly. i think hes obsessed with it because its the biggest outdoor venue in the area that is accessible by the T and doesnt require him to drive or uber
