In all seriousness, taking into considerations the albums, physical merch, collectibles, tape trading, concert tix, travel costs, and other things.... how much money would you say you’ve spent on Pearl Jam through your life?

I've seen them live twice and I own the first eight albums + Lost Dogs + Rearviewmirror on CD. I also bought Touring Band 2000, Live at the Garden, and Immagine in Cornice on DVD.
So at, let's say, 10 bucks a pop, that's $100 USD on CDs. Let's say $15 each for the DVDs, that's $45. I don't think I spent more than another $100 between the two shows (one was a festival and the other was really cheap). I've never bought any merch. Including the bus fares to the concerts, I'm estimating that I've spent around $250 USD on the band over my lifetime.

I’m somewhere in between those numbers. I never bought a dvd after touring band or any merch at all. I did buy a dozen singles in the 90’s, but almost always got those used because that was the only type of music store available to me. I saw four shows over two road trips, but I stayed on a military base for one and in a cheap motel in Fargo for the other. Didn’t buy any compilation stuff besides lost dogs, and I never got any remastered boxes. Maybe $500?

I know we’ve covered this but I can’t find it at the moment.
I’m at $10k easy. Maybe even double that if you wrap in all the related travel costs, pre-show beers and such...

I would guess around $10k, but almost all of that is travel
