The building will be closed and demolished following a two-night concert with Pearl Jam on October 28th and 30th, 2009; afterwards, the arena will be razed to make way for a new hotel in conjunction with the Philly Live! complex.
Not sure if this got updated, but these 1 added or 2 added show's is putting alot of stress for many who are trying to book stuff early. That don't wait for the last sec.
10C should just give a simple answer at this point no ?? or am i wrong :idea: ..but like many here have said 10C really doesn't owe us anything beyond what they have stated ,this rumor was started by someone here :oops: ....
That is the only thing that gives me hope here. You'd think that if it was 100% not happening that they would tell us that ... maybe?

this rumor was started by someone here :oops: ....
no, it wasnt. the dates were leaked well before any tour announcement by people with Spectrum connections, and Philly was included. phillymag.com then posted the dates prematurely and they were 28, 30 and 31. so the rumor has plenty of backing, it's not just delusion. and regardless of the circumstances surrounding the rumor, 10C knows that it is being discussed to death here, and it would be nice if they would just say:
A) Pearl Jam will not be playing in Philadelphia on 10/31 We're working on it and will keep you posted
C) Book your tickets, 10/31 is a go.
doesnt seem too difficult, but they choose to stick by their "nothing can be confirmed at this time."

Agree. This is not your normal size rumor. Closing on 25,000 views in a little more than 2 weeks supports the high visibility of this potential show and hopefully we can get an answer that will put an end to this thread.
Nevertheless, what happened to the people who said they had connections with the Spectrum, a sister that worked there, etc. Has Matt Cord made any mention lately?

"I worked today. Halloween is all good. We'll be getting an official announcement within 2 weeks. Still not sure sure about the 4th date, will get a text as soon as confirmed w/ my source who I don't wanna get into trouble. lol."

no, it wasnt. the dates were leaked well before any tour announcement by people with Spectrum connections,
i.e. rumor that fours shows were planned
all that told us was that they had a bunch of dates blocked for PJ, the leap of faith was that there would be shows on all of those dates
plenty of time for it to be announced, and PJ has done this before
after the big bold and free thing, I am sure the 10c is going to take its sweet time announcing anything

how many views did the vote for change 08 thread get?

Yeah, that's not what I meant. Just trying to convey it's a stronger than normal rumor due to the calls to the Spectrum, and other discussions that have been mentioned. Look at the thread about the Portland show. The OP started it 2 days later than this thread, and has 22,000 less views. Of course, location has a lot to do with it (as does it closing down a building), but also because this just has more credence than most other rumors due to what has been told to other people. Don't remember the discussion about the 2008 VFC because the 04 VFC tour did nothing in the polls, so it didn't make sense to me that there would be another tour.
I heared that the employees and contractors of the spectrum are scheduled to have their last day the 31st. meaning that a concert on the 30th would be cleaned up on the 31st. If there was an added date, more likely to be the 29th rather than the 31st

I mean we obviously dont know whats gonna happen... but i dont think they would add the 29th... i dont remember the last time the band played 3 straight nights...

well I think it is a much BIGGER shame that Philly locals got shut out of shows celebrating the closing of OUR historic arena and a bunch of out-of-towners got tickets. I think it sucks actually but PJ and 10C can do what they want on that front. Personally I feel it should have been local only or if the 31st happens it should be local only (or local 1st for that show). Whatever show is the last at the Spectrum, be it the 30th or 31st, should have been/should be local only in my opinion. Sorry if I can't feel bad for out-of-towners not getting tickets.
Amen brother, I said TEN days ago, put this one to bed, man was I wrong! but this is ridiculous! Let's keep it going till we are all very happy or a little sad.

Again, if they would tour like every other normal band and this won't be a problem. Us out-of-towners go there because they won't play within a 1000 fucking miles of here.
1. If there isn't going to be a third show, why were the original shows scheduled for Wednesday and Friday? Wouldn't it have made more sense to do Friday and Saturday?
2. If there was absolutely no chance of a third show in Philadelphia, wouldn't you think they would have made an announcement on this forum with all the posts?
I mean, has anybody just called the ten club and asked?

I know I was just ribbing ya a bit
the point I was making is that we have had numerous rumors around here (ACL last year for example), some come to fruition, some dont, this just happens to be a more popular one given the venue and the lack of other east coast dates-so the speculation is running rampant
regardless of the alleged sources, calls etc., I would not spend any any money or make any bets based upon the rumors
you ever meet the folks who work at the spectrum box office? I would not put much faith in their words or someones sisters cousins brother-just saying

1. because they will be going to NYC on thursday to tape letterman and ed will appear at the RnR hall of fame show (they tape two shows on Thursday, so its possible they will appear twice)
2. The 10c does not confirm or deny rumors, they only announce confirmed shows
but like everyone else, this is just masturbatory speculation
