PEARL JAM fans are expressing their frustration and disappointment over what they perceive as a ticketing “farce” for the band’s new tour, with some even suggesting that the organizers should be embarrassed by the situation.
The outcry stems from issues related to ticket availability, pricing, and distribution, which have left many fans feeling marginalized and excluded from attending the concerts. For devoted followers of the iconic rock band, who have supported them throughout the years, this perceived mishandling of ticket sales strikes a particularly sour note. The sentiment among fans is one of disillusionment and anger, highlighting the importance of transparency and fairness in the concert ticketing process.
The band from Seattle is scheduled to perform at Manchester Co-op Live and London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with ticket prices starting at a staggering £157.75 (approx. $200). Similarly high prices were encountered by fans in the US and Ireland.
Users turned to X, formerly known as twitter.com, to express their discontent with the tour’s exorbitant prices, with numerous fans acknowledging that they sadly won’t be able to afford attending.
One fan said: “Thankfully I’ve seen PEARL JAM a few times & not drawn into paying this absolute farce of ticket pricing. Everyone should be ashamed.. band, promoter, venue, the lot. Feel for youngsters who’ve longed to see them (or other artists) & being priced out. £160.50…christ.”
Another fan noted: “I am a massive fan and been to several gigs over the last 3 decades (!) but 160£ for a rear standing tkt and 238 for a front standing is utterly immoral. @PearlJam it’s embarrassing given your background”
Reportedly, platinum tickets in America are said to be even more expensive, as one fan said: “PEARL JAM is slow releasing platinum tickets. $1724 for the floor, $862 for back lowers. Insane!”
