Stories of Ticketmaster gouging fans are nothing new, as Seattle’s Pearl Jam discovered in 1994.
In March 1994, in response, Pearl Jam sent a letter to promoters asking to perform at venues that would only charge $18 for a ticket and no more than $1.80 for service or handling fees, to keep tickets under $20 for their fans. In response, Pearl Jam made a complaint in a May 6 memo to the Justice Department, accusing Ticketmaster of being a monopoly that uses its long-term contracts with venues to “cement control over the distribution of tickets to concerts.”
“All the members of Pearl Jam remember what it’s like to be young and not have a lot of money,” Gossard said. “Many Pearl Jam fans are teenagers who do not have the money to pay $30 or more that is often charged for tickets today.”
