Pearl Jam front-man and grunge-rock hero, Eddie Vedder, is set to head out on his first-ever solo tour in April in support of his soundtrack album for “Into the Wild.” The ten-date, West Coast tour kicks off in Vancouver on April 2, skipping Vedder’s hometown of Seattle, with a string of dates throughout California. Each show of the “April Fools” tour will be held in mid-size theatres, giving fans the rare opportunity to see Vedder outside of a stadium setting. This exclusivity also drives the demand for tickets, as each venue’s capacity averages around 2,000 seats.

Vedder’s “Into the Wild” soundtrack debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200 Chart and has sold over 243,000 units to date. Vedder, who has never released a solo-album, was hand-picked by “Into the Wild” director Sean Penn to provide music for the film and has since received a Grammy nomination and Golden Globe award for the song “Guaranteed.”

Known for his battle against ticket giant TicketMaster, Vedder has set ticket prices at a single price for every seat in each venue. Face value for all tickets vary slightly by venue, but are between $65 to $70 each. On the secondary ticket market; however, it’s an entirely different story. The high-demand for Vedder’s intimate performances have driven ticket prices anywhere from $145 to over $1,200 per ticket.

While Pearl Jam has been relatively quiet over 2007, fans have no need to fear; Vedder’s solo tour is no indication of a split. Pearl Jam will be headlining the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, June 12 -15, 2008 in Manchester, Tennessee. Tickets are already on sale for this event; four-day general admission passes start at $330.
