    I think we all got excited about a big tour this year with all of the talk of three continents.  But I think reality is setting in with a "bigger" leg in Europe, and then three shows in SA and a few ballpark shows in the US.   Nothing different than any other post 2006 year other than 2017 with no shows.

    2013 was pretty big though for PJ, so perhaps a new album in 2019 will usher in a "full" US tour.


    I’d be pretty bummed if that’s all it was. I’m really hoping for a west coast arena tour. Did both chicago and Boston last year and I’m ready to get back to the arenas. 
    Yeah.   I think of these shows I would only consider Wrigley and if I can’t get GA I would pass.
    crazy talk.  lol

    Man I just keep hoping that the Boston dates are wrong. Labor day weekend would be a mess and it'l be hard as hell for me to get off of work.  
  • Does anyone have a seating chart for Wrigley 2016? Or was there a thread showing where folks sat with Reserved 10c tix if they had a low 10c number? Searched but I couldnt find one. thanks

    I've turned into one of those people that I used to make fun of.   I'll have seen PJ 3 times in Europe this year, so I won't be in the mindset of "it doesn't matter where, just being in the building".

    If it's ballpark shows (and maybe a festival or benefit in Montana) only in the U.S. in 2018, then by the time 2019 rolls around, it will basically be 3 years between US arena shows (last ones being in spring 2016).

    3 cities... 6 shows... 240,000 tix sold... 1,000,000 posters sold lol....

    1 show at Safeco will sell the same amount of tix as 3 shows @ Key Arena 

    Get used to it my American friends

    ^ Bummer if you’re right (I think you are).  I wonder why they don’t use the same philosophy in Europe with soccer stadiums as venues. Too much capacity to fill?  Acoustics?  Both?

    I hope they announce a North American Tour soon...Flights are way more Cheaper booked in advance haha

    True.  So was Oslo.  They only sold probably 50% of Oslo's stadium.

    Facing the stage, I was to the right of the mixing board maybe 5 or 6 rows behind the walkway. 10club number 144###.  I thought the seats were great.  Hope that helps a little

    7 shows 8/8 and 8/10 Seattle. Boston and Chicago. Forget where the other one is.  Us and Canada Tour in 2019 also. Not sure about anywhere else
    Is this info from an inside source? Thanks for the heads up, even if it is depressing, haha

    kind of weird they'd do a show on a Wednesday?   According to the mariners schedule there's no games in Seattle from the 6th to 16th?  You'd think they do Friday/Sunday or Saturday/Monday or something?

    The Wed/Fri @ Safeco makes perfect sense if they are headlining the Outside Lands Festival that Sunday 8/12 (speculation)

    We are playing chess here folks, not checkers :)

  • Not seeing a Wednesday show at Safeco being a winner. I don’t see how they could even sell it out, there’s really 50,000 legit PJ fans in the Seattle area? It would have to be a greatest hits show on an unprecedented level to keep that many casual fans engaged. I understand a weekend show working because fans like myself would fly in. Too bad that wouldn’t just play the Gorge which 99% of us prefer but I guess they’ve are obsessed with this ballpark thing for whatever reason. If they think the vibe at Safeco will come close to Fenway or Wrigley they are delusional. Those are the two most iconic ballparks in the world. Safeco is an okay ballpark with virtually zero history despite being around for two decades.

    I'm not too thrilled about the ballpark shows, but I'd rather go there than the Gorge. A five hour drive and camping out is far less convenient than driving to Safeco for the evening.

    If Safeco is Wednesday and Friday, my plan would be miss the Wednesday show and just use 1PTO day Friday to go to the Friday show.  I would use both for a Thursday/Friday run, but a useless gap day on a Thursday isn’t worth it

    I'm fine with whatever happens at Safeco Field in Seattle...
    I'll be there for the whole week no matter which nights Pearl Jam play!!
    There's so much to do and see in the city & surrounding area,
    one week is barely long enough for me.
    AND besides that,
    anytime I can fly to one city and get 2 shows...
    I'm a happy camper!!

    I would love to here what things there are to do in Seattle. It has never been on my radar as cities to see besides to see Pearl Jam play there of course. I am also disappointed in the Wednesday rumoured date. The 10th weekend is one of the two weekends I have off in August and it would have fit perfectly for me if they played it. Just a rumour right now and hoping that it changes.

    I'd spend a day hanging out in the city center...
    Pioneer Square, Belltown, Pike Place Market, SODO, Capital Hill etc...
    SOOO many great bars, restaurants & shops to visit!!
    I'd also be checking out what's on the agenda at the other music venues in town,
    to see who's playing at The Showbox, The Crocodile, Tractor Tavern or many of the other clubs in the evenings.
    Next...I'd head over to Woodinville Wine Country & spend a day visiting all the wineries,  
    and end that day with dinner at my favorite restaurant in the Seattle area, The Herbfarm.
    Then I'd take a little roadtrip down to Mount Rainier.
    It's an INCREDIBLE drive and if you're this close,
    it's a MUST SEE in my book!
    I would also have to make a stop in Tacoma to visit the Museum of Glass,
    a trip to Seattle isn't complete without seeing Dale Chihuly's work up close.
    On the day between shows...
    you would find me in West Seattle.
    Easy Street Records and a walk along Alki would be GREAT on a nice August day!!
    If I still had time left...
    I'd take another road trip out to the Olympic Peninsula,
    and spend an evening (or two) in one of the cabins at Kalaloch Lodge overlooking the Pacific.
