Eddie Vedder

david75

Looks like he might be coming in June for a Dublin date or two.
Rumours firming up given he's headlining a festival in Florence. Glen Hansard and the cranberries on the same bill.
Let's see.

I do get your point though. In fairness that was some off-the-wall post - the one about him compelled to play with Pearl Jam. His job to sing for Pearl Jam. His obligation to deliver Pearl Jam to his fans. Just to get technical about it – he doesn’t have a job. He would be self-employed. He’s free to choose whatever type of work he does, and for whom he does it. Overall, it’s simple economics. Supply and demand etc. If someone thinks it’s too expensive, then don’t go. But no point in having rambles that the artist should be embarrassed, or that he has an obligation to not play, just to please the mob.

I definitely think ticket prices are overpriced. But it’s up to me to make the decision to go or not. Funny the poster mentioned €30. That’s exactly what I paid for my ticket for his 3Arena show 2 years ago. I average about 20 gigs a year, and for me it was the best experience I was ever at. For this gig, I’d pay €50. That’s my limit, for now anyway. If I get one for that, I’ll go. If not, I won’t. Magnificent show, but I’ve seen it already. The setlist will differ, but the surprise element has waned. When the night comes and if I don’t have a ticket, I’ll be very disappointed and I might fold and pay more. But that’s my decision. Nobody else. If EV plays to a half empty 3Arena, he may have some reason to feel slightly embarrassed that the ticket prices are set too high. But if he sells 10k to 12k tickets, then, like I say it’s simple economics – supply vs demand

Hey Flasher , speak for yourself and not for Eddie Vedder , k?

Its not my concern what Vedder can and can't do with his life , the only thing you or I should ever expect from that man is to get up on stage and sings songs with Pearl Jam. Thats IT. Peal Jam > Fans / Fans < Pearl Jam.
Thats what supply and demand IS.
Deep down nobody wants this , but they don't have the bollok to admit it.

Pearl Jam could book 3 nights straight at the o2 and there isn't a chance in hell seats would be available on ticketmaster 2 MONTHS after release!

Take That delivered a wonderful spectacle to the 02 for 60- 80 quid. Big production values , theatrics , you name it. They delivered the show their fans deserved. Thats supply and demand.

Gary Barlow would have been laughed out of town if he took Take That on the road by himself and charged 106 quid tickets for piano renditions of the greatest hits.

Chris Cornell played the Olympia for 50 bucks back in 2016.

Eddie Vedder is not a solo artist like Cornell. His solo career is shallow and is made for venues like the Olympia for a reasonable cost.
The 106bucks he takes off you suckers doesn't have to be split if 5 ways nor does it fund the transport of gear and equipment , because there is none to transport.

This is not what the paying punter deserves for 106 pound a ticket.

So yes , Eddie Vedder can do exactly what he wants , including ripping off his fans with a mickey mouse product , he just won't be doing it to me or plenty others who know a scam job when they see one.

the goon

I d happily pay face value for ticket but if he was playing in my locality. I m not in Dublin so won't be going because the added expense of getting there and accomodation would be nuts.

I have a question though. How much of the ticket price is based on EV's fee and how much is based on classic middle man gouging? I d bet there's a fair bit of fat built in for the latter.

the goon

mimimcmc

still tickets on sale for this anyway.. I'm gonna hold out and hope they release front row like they did last time ..

I ain't going unless my seats are even better than last time

last time i saw Hansard was supporting Bruce Springsteen in Kilkenny in 2013 and he was pretty good. Brought out Damien Dempsey (who was also on the bill before hand) too sing Auld Triangle . He does have a bit of a Ego problem but is a talented guy

cant wait for July

Amazing singer, but his songs failed to grab the audiences attention in The Marquee.

When Your Mind's Made Up

Bird of Sorrow

I saw Vedder in the Hammersmith Apollo on 2012, and Hansard supported him, and he blew the roof off the place. The people all around me had never heard of him before !!
I saw Hansard in a record store doing an acoustic set earlier that day, and he was amazing ! but only about 50 people there...
Such a talented man, such a voice.

I saw Glen Hansard in Vicar St. 2 weeks ago. I thought it was brilliant. I knew ZERO songs rom his solo albums. He played a few Frames songs and Once songs, so I was familiar with couple of songs.
I listened to some tunes from his new album since, and they are excellent IMO. The gig had everything – emotion, power, comedy, bit of rock, and of course the obligatory lecture about preserving fields!!!

TheIrishGrover

Yeah, as I said, I wouldn't be his biggest fan, but it was unusual to see him in a "support" position. I mean he was brilliant when EV brought him back out again. But I suppose EV's known for long sets if he's in the mood so there was no real time for another support act.

But as long as 'pop stars' continue to charge over the top prices, on top of Ticketmasters charges, there will always *'BS' about gigs.

* BS = discussion for and against the price of solo pop stars, playing solo shows.

When I bought my ticket for this show after seeing him the last time in Dublin: Did I miss it?

Where was it?

The gun, I mean. I totally did not see the gun pointed at my head. Did anyone else who bought tickets see it?

I mean there MUST have been a gun to my head as apparently we are being forced to buy these tickets against our will (Assumingly under threat of violence)

Maybe it was some form of mind control: I enjoyed his show two years ago and thought to myself "You know what? That was fantastic! I would love to see him again"

But it seems this is not the case.... I was FORCED to buy these tickets.... EVERYONE was FORCED to buy these tickets.

Weird... Totally missed that.......

This thread is titled Eddie Vedder. If somebody has an opinion on Eddie Vedder , regardless of whether its positive or negative , then this is the place to voice it.

Eddie Vedder wants to charge Elton John priced tickets to plebs for the privilege of watching him strum a geetar while drinking a quart of Guinness with his buddy.
If Eddie Vedder wants to hang and have a jam with Hanssard , he can do it at Hannsards gaff and not at the o2 for 106 quid a pop.

Its Vedders job to sing for Pear Jam. Vedder has an obligation to deliver Pearl Jam to his fans.

I love PJ as much as the next person , but EV is not PJ and if people have a blind hero worship for just one man to the point where they will pay stupid money to see a repetitive one man show, then have at it. Don't expect others to willingly get fleeced for a half arsed product.

I went to the last show with 6 people and everybody agreed that once was enough. None of them had the slightest interest in doing it again when it was announced. Hence why tickets are still available.

I, Thank you.

People don't take nicely to harsh truths , when it comes to blind love.
You, and I , gave our opinion, and because it differs to 90% of those on here, the opinion is presumed to be incorrect.

Vedder has zero OBLIGATIONS to fans!!
Hes given us awesome music for almost 30 years, i think hes entitled to do what he wants at this stage, maybe not what you or i would prefer him to do but he certainly doesnt owe us fans anything.

Despite your previous comments, yet here you still are. Are you waiting for someone to try to twist your arm - "Ah go on, buy an Eddie ticket". You said you're not going to the gig. And have moaned about the prices. And now complaining about covers. I can't see what else you can positively bring to this particular thread. Time to take a hint.

Eventim give 3% back on ticket purchases in the UK which is something anyway.
Isnt there some Ulster bank account ,think its Ufirst where you can get 25% off Ticketmaster purchases .
It hasnt been available to new customers for years though .
That would be very handy .

Why would they ? Ticketmaster have no real competition, they can do what the want, which is exactly what they are doing .........screwing every last euro they can get from their customers.

I know this gig doesn't need help. But would be nice say if there were cheap tickets to a Tommy tiernan gig or some malahide gig etc.

There should be a loyalty scheme. Bought 20+ tickets last year. Even a small no fees discount would be nice.
