@RisingStone: I think PJ used some dynamic pricing to some extent even before? A couple of years back?

The grass ticket I got for Pearl Jam (Indiana) was $81. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

The Stones Vegas show has 4 “resale” tickets in section 115 about half way up going for $100,000 each. (That’s not a typo) The fees for 2 tix add another $38,000.

I looked it up and there was some outrage about Platinum tickets for Pearl Jam on the 2022 tour as well:

In 2023, PJ reportedly limited the dynamic pricing to 10% of the tickets.

I didn’t know there was already a ticket price fiasco surrounding PJ two years ago TBHWY. And that was even some time before the BS bxxlsxxt — as I see it, many people started to be fully aware of the existence of the blxxdy Dynamic Pricing (or “Official Platinum tickets” according to Ticketbastard) then.

don't tell me about overpriced tickets – I live in Germany where tickets are even more overpriced than nearly anywhere else. If one lives in Germany it makes sense to travel abroad to see you favorite artist and save some 30% (or even more) on the tickets. For example: Last year I saw Clapton in Amsterdam for some 100 Euros (GA) while reserved seating in the front blocks was some 200 Euros in Germany)

The Worst.
I was just reading an old Rolling Stone’ article from the 1975 tour, where The Stones are heavily criticized for high ticket prices: 10 dollars each. One could argue that they have always been accused of high prices, but always sell out etc. However, 10 dollars in 1975 equals 60 dollars in 2024. Ticket prices of 600 dollars in 2024, would be 100 dollars in 1975. In other words: The prices are practically ten times more expensive now than in 1975.

Unsurprising, really. To regularly attend concerts at the big venues is something I, personally, cannot afford. What is the average ticket-cost at venue such as the O2 Arena in London? Must be near, or around, £100, surely? That’s a once-per-year event for me!

But was it 100 euros to travel to, live in, and stay in Amsterdam?
