Wouldn’t they still have to have a contract with the venue to distribute tickets to shows?

I don't understand what you mean by this.

Ticket vendors (Ticketmaster, et al…) have contracts with the venue and the band to distribute/sell “first run” tickets to an event. Originally released tickets, not second hand tickets like Stub Hub and the like. However they get their supply, they originally come from Ticketmaster. Who, in a lot of cases have the rights for distribution in most major cities and most of their respective venues.

Like your theatre. It’s probably contracted with a ticket broker to distribute tickets outside the box office. They may hit secondary markets but they don’t all go to those from your box office.

I gotta say, if I were in a band my deeply conflicted personality traits (craving attention and hating attention) would make it maybe literally impossible to see the same face even two nights in a row because that would almost be like performing in front of people I knew. You get the same set of people in the front row for a whole tour and I'd probably have to quit and maybe check into a mental institution.

I remember reading that a year or so ago. Maybe this is the same thread.

It is the same thread. And yes. These mouth breathers believe Pearl Jam wouldn’t be good if they weren’t in the front at every show. I remember one lady who was quite emphatic about it. I’m about to dive in and see what updates to the thread I’ve missed.

I don’t buy it.

A decade or so ago 10c dumped fanclub / ticket seniority because they were sick of seeing exactly the same faces every night in the front row. People with super super low 10c membership numbers getting all the preference and front row tickets etc every single show every tour.
Thats why they did away with the policy and sold it as “to make it fair for everyone and give everyone a chance to be front row”.
I know a good few of those people who had those super low numbers and would be front row every night and they were absolutely furious about it for years afterwards. Probably still are.

But it’s just a big GA pit at every show now for the last several years, so they obviously abandoned that idea long ago.

The worst pearl jam fan EVER is anyone who wears those Roberto Clemente museum "21" shirts to shows who have no idea who Roberto Clemente is.
Also....the fans who wear those knockoff Pinkpop 92 t -shirts that have Vedder on it instead of Tivoli
If you're reading this and you're one of those people...please look within yourself and ask some tough questions about who you are as a person and truly question the person you've become.

But the same people still make it up to the front every show.

Good one, buster. Someone give this man a hand...

Someday someone will have a great grandmother with a faded stickman tattoo on her left boob.
