Yeah, I don't see the Viewmaster and dog collars etc as being "money grabs".

I'll admit I have no idea, but I expect there's probably very little profit being made on any of that stuff and they just make them for fun.

Regardless of how much profit the band is making on those items, i doubt PJ of 2003 and prior would have agreed to sell those items on their website

But whatever. Gigaton is great and i was just having a little fun with the whole thing

Dear Pearl Jam,

How about going into your records and finding those of us who requested GA in the original lottery but got stuffed into lawn seats?

Thanks,
B
We have been able to add a small number of tickets to the GA Pit for the upcoming September shows (excluding Louisville) from a minor production change. To get as many Ten Club members to the shows as possible, we are offering a brief members-only sale through Ticketmaster Request for this extremely limited GA Pit ticket inventory. Please do not make any travel commitments before securing tickets. There are very few tickets and the majority of fans who register for the sale will unfortunately not get them.

So, like the ones they've already sold tickets to? Good luck with that. Consider yourself fortunate if they're willing to sell you a second ticket (or pair).

At least they're throwing a bone to Indy Folks. Are we assuming those are randomly mixed in?

With the recent release of the album Gigaton, the Post-Riot Act Moneygrab phase of the popular band Pearl Jam is declared to be over.

The latest album is a glorious production with all the merits of exactly what this individual had been hoping to hear from his favorite band. The songs are outstanding, the performances are sincere, the music is unique and varied, and the album sounds amazing. This album seems to have been made the way they wanted to make it, on their own schedule, and it is easy to read into how proud they are of the result. The next phase of Pearl Jam is yet to be written, but it's off to a great start.
rip.

Apart from the quality and style of music, and the ticket prices, what is the most moneygrabbing thing about Pearl Jam in 2024.

While they are getting into the lucrative fitness area, they do not seem to be making any money out of it so far.
