Wow, the Amsterdam venue is super-beautiful...I just HAVE to be there! Will enter for both Amsterdam shows.

Still wondering if I should enter for Manchester too...I'll be going, but I figured that one would be easier to do with public sale, as the venue's bigger?
London prices are nuts. Plus I'm already going there at the end of August, so I'll have to skip that.

Ever looked at what a liter of oj costs in Europe? How about a pint and some curry?

Ed has a wife and kids who either stay a million miles away back at home or lug their lives around the world, living in hotels so he can perform for us. The guy could easily retire in Hawaii and never be heard from again. Getting to see him perform in an intimate setting is a real treat.

In 1996 you had to BUY an album to enjoy it. Artists actually made a good living when their work was released. Touring was just gravy and tickets were cheap. I'm willing to bet less than 10% of people actually go out and buy/legally download albums anymore. I could see PJ for $24 bucks in '96 but guess what? It also only cost $14 to fill my gas tank too. Yesterday I spent $90 at the pump.

The choice is simple. Either cut back on a few things like a cup of coffee a week and go see your favorite front man...or don't. No one is forcing you to go. If tickets were 20 or 30 bucks there'd be chaos and massive outrage from fans that didn't get their tickets fast enough. I don't know about you but I'd 100 times over rather go see Ed sing his heart out in a little venue and pay a bit more to do it than go to some stadium and be 200 feet away to save a few bucks.

$150 is a lot of money for a ticket for any artist. The reasons named above apply to all bands/artists, and most do not charge this much. With that said, I've spent much more on individual EV solo shows and PJ shows when you factor in airfare, mileage, lodging, rental car, etc. Seeing your favorite artist perform isn't just about the money..it's about the experience and the good time you're having during the show. It's about hanging out with people at the preparty. Is it a lot of money for a ticket? Definitely...but if you can afford it and and you love Ed's solo material then go and you will not be disappointed!

Thanks jonbond, my brain had gone into scramble-to-get-tickets-stress melt down, once i got onto paypal it was scramble-to-find-some-credit-somewhere-stress . stupid stress. stupid austerity. fingers crossed & good luck everyone. x

Seems I caused a stir with my comment on the $284 price. Did not mean too: I concur that it is great to see Eddie Vedder playing solo in Europe, smashing even ! But there is a simple fact of the venue offering prices for 60-70 euros for other artists, and 110 (almost) for EV. I also concur that posting the fact that it is $284 and expressing dismay on a fan forum is not best practice - and I too have paid much much more to see PJ at Alpine Valley last year (coming from The Netherlands). So for the true true EV fans it must be a treat ! For all the other 'just true' fans (including me): we can make room for those fans @ Carre by buying one more CD of EV iso going to the show Have a blast !

I thought I was the only one misreading things from the nerves and excitement!!! Good luck to everyone! OOOOOoooooh Im excited!!!

[IamTom]

that's the problem.
Those people who think that the prices aren't too bad. This way fans keep buying tickets no matter how much the prices are, so they can rise and rise.
I guess I am too old fashioned in this matter?

I know what you are saying....

however have you been to a football match recently? at old Trafford most seats cost £50 these days, or have you been to a theatre show? been to the races? Have you even been golfing on a reasonable course?

when you consider this, paying £50 for 2hrs of seeing your favourite artist, arguably one of the finest around really cant be considered too bad.

We cant pay what we did in 1994 anymore. Thats just not how the world is.

although it would be nice.

If i wander into town for some beers and a curry afterwards, I'll guarantee I'll come home 80 notes lighter, yet i know which night i would enjoy more

OK....

My point is this...

Pearl Jam are a band of 5 1/2 (Boom being the half). I pay about £60 to see them ALL.

ALL!!!!!!!

Now my maths says 60 divided by 5.5= 10.90.

So rounded up to 11 we should be paying £11. It's only right if you divide by 5.5.

And I'm forced to buy 2 tickets!!! What if I have no friends? How would that make me feel? That's just thoughtless and Eddie is meant to be caring!

You bring up football, Paul. Well, does Eddie run around? Do stepovers? Nutmeg people? Has he mastered the art of blowing his nose, both nostrils simultaneously the moment the camera is on him? No! Not once on Water On The Road.

Giggs, Rooney et al do all this AND sing. A limited repetroire I grant you(campiones,campiones) but you see my point. And will Eddie ever boycott the BBC because they accuse Stone of taking a bung? Or come off stage saying...fucking hell! Music eh?

No.

As for the it's not '94 argument. I think we all got that memo! It's 2012 and we're all entitled to pay very little for a performer we'd all love to see on his first solo tour in Europe just...because...we...want....it!!!!

I want to pay £11 because I do or else I'm pouting.

So there.

Okay this is awesome. Gonna have to try in the public sale as well as pre-sale. Just in case.
