well i guess when it all comes down to it, joe is a great guitar player, just a human with great talent. all humans want to be successful and make money. he is doing both. sorry some may think of him as anything but a human. he is out to make great music and money for himself and his family and the employes he has and the record company..etc. you either will or won't spend the dollars. it is supposed tobe a small intimate occasion. you and maybe 20 others for about 1 to 2 hours. if that is too high a price i can cetainly understand that. however to cast aspersion due to a dollar factor just being small and selfish. you either are willing or you are not. market driven. just because i am a member of this forum is absolutly no reason to believe joe takes anything i have to say or any of any other person to heart that for that matter. jeesh some of you are so petty. why are you here. flame away small minded folks...flame away.

michelle,
i know what you mean about the seats. when i got the meet and greet it came with tickets. now there were only a dozen people who got the meet and greet and this venue was the grove in anaheim which is set-up with dinner tables in front. you actually go in and eat dinner before the first act. they had all of the meet and greet people at my table.the problem i had was the even though i had front row center tickets, the standing area was actually in front of us. unfortunately, the standing room was only one or two steps down from my level so when they stood in front of me, they were actually about the same height so my view was blocked. this was very disappointing but it is really the venue, not the performer's fault. when i figured the price, it wasn't too damn bad because i got my seat, my dinner and the meet and greet for about 200. now when i go to a show, since i want an unobstructed view, i try to get a seat that is front row balcony or front row of a section. it all depends on the venue, but most of the places that Joe plays are not huge so you still have a great view. i do wish it really was first come first served but i understand that the performer is going to reserve seats for guests at some shows. if you really want to see the best possible show the best way is to bite the bullet and spend the cash for scalped tickets up front. a friend of mine did that for a dream theater concert in NY and ended up all over that dvd they made. and just by chance, the guy he sat with in the front knew the drummer so they got backstage after the show. you almost can't put a price on that!

Guitarvibes- Joe was never a swindler for money. Steve Vai is a little more demanding when it comes to gear and merchandise. I hear his Bad Horsie 2 Wah pedal is more expensive and not as good quality as the Big Bad Wah. And his standard Ibanez is much more expensive than Joe's JS1200 and the only extra thing it has is a monkeybar handle. To me that's not worth paying $600 more dollars for.
My uncle just showed me this funny cartoon network show. This character, Brak, is absolutely hilarious. Hope it cheers some people up. I'll tell ya, I needed a good laugh.

Tikimon- Well said ....as pertains to meet & greet cost. The cost of touring and taking care of expenses.. band & crew has got to be prohibitive. It is the music business and business costs. I completely agree with your statements
If I were Joe I wouldn't even read this forum... all we do is piss & moan & take everything so damn personal....... well not everybody but enough of us
Anyway ....GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Didnt mean to start a fight on the Meet & Greet ticket price front in terms of how much it costs... What I was getting at is why is it that if I was to buy a Club Joe ticket for a UK show today then someone else could buy one tomorrow and pay a different price because they are only available in US dollars and the exchange rate could change overnight??? That is the bit that doesnt seem fair... When he toured last time they were available in UK currency so everyone paid the same... Why cant they do that this time??? This also discriminates folk who decide not to have a debit/credit card because they may not be eligible (bad credit, under 18, choice)...

Jaysus....you cant debate in this forum without it turning into a bitchfest.We all love and respect the man t bits for all the right reasons but if i,m annoyed and have an issue with ticket prices, where else should i go to debate?
The point being made was the meet and greet tic price feels exploitative to some fans & exclusive only to those that can afford it... i,m sure it is worth every penny.... thats not the point
Its also not the first time i,ve listened to this subject angrily raised in convo with some of my younger guitar students here that would love t meet Joe

it relaly was not to much of a bitchfest. and i also agree that sometimes the price may not be what i want to pay. it is just broken down into really simple terms, you either will or you won't pay. there is not need to chastise any1 for paying or not paying or being upset with joe who probaly doesn't set prices himself. it just seem to me to be silly to quit listening to a musician due to ticket prices or how some one was treated by fanfire. at the m+g i went to 7 folks were given the wrong time by FF and wendy made sure that they had their time with joe. if you were being mistreated you should have mentioned it to some1. but enough flogging this dead horse.
..and there are differences between the jem and the js. both run dimarrzios but the jems are diff from joes for the tonal qualities steve wants verus joes tone. the cutaway for the neck is diff as well as it is a full fretboard. the js2400 made some changes and they are much more alike now excepting the tones of the pickup. my js gets a sweeter warmer sound than the jem which has a very hot bright tone.
hey how bout them tb rays????? oh i guess they aren't real popular here.

Hey Joe,
I had the privilege to see you play an epic show at the Wiltern in Hollywood last year. I saw you with my little brother and Mom who drove up from San Diego to see you. Using my little brothers cuteness we were able to get backstage passes haha. When I met you I was so star struck all i could say was "hey joe...like your satchurator". Thought I'd let you know what I really wanted to say, its been bugging me recently.
You are the dude that got me into the guitar, your music and playing really spoke to me and inspired me to get better and enjoy playing. I got serious about practicing and studied a lot of your music so i could play like you, and lm still learning.
Thats about it really. Just a bit bummed I missed the opportunity to tell you in person haha hopefully that opportunity will come again
Thanks, Tyler Nuffer

roy, it was mentioned that some1 was stopping a fan page (which is their choice.) over cost and that joe was being greedy and likened it to prostitution. it really doesn't matter. i hope no1 was offened by any statement because that was not the intention. i just know what the biz is about and that is all. you surely have insight into this also. things are what they are.
