Humdinger of a question...

edited July 2009 in The Porch
So here's the big question that I'm sure many people are asking themselves this morning...

Do I try as hard as possible to land tickets for the Friday show in Philly (already have 10c tix for Wednesday) and ignore the possibility of a Saturday show? OR, do I wait it out for the assumed Saturday show.

Factors in decision:
-Saturday show isn't 100% confirmed
-If Saturday show is confirmed, will we have enough advance notice for tix?
-Saturday is Halloween, and how many friends are going to want to see Pearl Jam (all of you excluded) on a big party night that happens to have landed on a weekend.
-$$$
-Saturday would potentially be the LAST time ANY act plays the Spectrum

Oh boy. Any thoughts?

    purchase tickets for Friday's show if you have the means to then also purchase tickets for Saturday's show,...

    Definitely Friday. If you get them, the worst that can happen is that a Saturday show is announced, you get tickets to it, and you resell your (non-10C) Friday tickets for face value to someone who got shut out.
