The band is offering pre-sale access through their Ten Club membership program, available only to members active as of December 4. Approximately 90% of tickets will be distributed between Ten Club members and public sales, with 10% allocated to PJ Premium to offset costs.

Key Anti-Scalping Measures:

  • Mobile-only tickets with restricted transfers
  • Fan-to-fan face value ticket exchange platform
  • Cancellation of tickets listed above face value on secondary markets
  • Non-transferable tickets where permitted

Tour Dates 2025:

April

  • 24 & 26: Hard Rock Live, Hollywood, FL
  • 29: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA

May

  • 01: State Farm Arena, Atlanta, GA
  • 06 & 08: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, TN
  • 11 & 13: Lenovo Center, Raleigh, NC
  • 16 & 18: PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, PA

Public ticket sales begin December 13 at 10 AM local time, with an Artist Pre-Sale through Ticketmaster starting December 10. Fans can register for up to five concert dates.

Pearl Jam's commitment to fair ticket pricing dates back to 1992 when they challenged Ticketmaster's service fees. Notable actions included:

  • 1993: Setting maximum ticket prices at $18
  • 1994: Performing only at venues respecting their pricing policies
  • 1995: Organizing their own tour at non-Ticketmaster venues

Supporting acts for the 2025 tour will be announced later.
