    The thing is, at this point I don't foresee anyone having anything useful in terms of updates. I think we have heard just about everything you could possibly hear, and we still don't know jack.

    It's a waiting game now.... and it blows ha.

    I don't think we'll hear anything today. Sadly I think we are going to have to sweat it out for another day or two.

    I guess there arent enough of us refreshing the tickets page enough all at the same time to force the 10C to come out and tell us to stop and give us a pre sale date and time!

    Only word from Philly radio stations is "they expect an announcement on added shows any day now" whatever the fuck that means lol

    What happened to all the people calling The Spectrum for info? Maybe they unplugged the phones...

    And when you call don't ask if there's a show, ask when the show is going on sale. We can trick them into thinking an announcement was made and they'll be all befuddled and unwittingly give us the info we're looking for.

    I did this today. I called and said I was looking for tickets for a show on the 31st, they replied "Pearl Jam?" I said yes, they said they havent been given the word to start telling tickets and they expect the announcement to come within a few days.

    Then he said, "you know they added one on the 27th, too, right?"

    So, once more confirmation for both the 31st and 27th. Sounds like next week.

  • just heard Pierre on WMMR , at 2:15, played a PJ song then said there may be another date or dates added to the Spectrum shows. (This is not word for word what he said, I'm paraphrasing, but that was basically what he said)! Will have to scramble to find $ for 2 more shows!! :D:D:D

    This thing with posters here -- myself included -- urging other posters to call The Spectrum reminds me of that Larry David clip:

    just got off the phone with spectrum ticketing and the woman said that she heard about them "likely adding 2 more dates" but they had no information about when tix go on sale. she definitely stumbled over herself when i (gently) inquired about information, so it seems like something is brewing..... 8-)

    ANNOUNCE IT ALREADY!!!!!!

    Something will be announced, but the fact that it's Wednesday - almost 3 pm and tix usually go onsale Friday or Saturday - I'm thinking we'll have another week or so till an announcement.

    Bruce tix go onsale on Monday and Comcast is promoting those right now. So I figure the earliest PJ tix would go on sale to allow promotion for the onsale of additional dates would be next week - probably next Friday to the general public. So I expect a tweet or a post by Rubysdad next Monday or Tuesday.

    instead of calling the Spectrum, let's have everyone on line at the same exact, scheduled time to refresh the tickets page as a polite protest to send the message that we are here and we are waiting..impatiently...

    its a more, silent request, or plea if you will, for the 10c to keep feeding our addiction and bless us with even more good news

    I think you're right. If the sale was this week, these operators people are talking to would have info.

    I think if its 4 theyll have to announce a big time opener as well, because I dont think the shows were "instant" sellouts.

    I'm glad to hear people have been getting some hints from the venue about the 27th and 31st, but still not getting my hopes up. just want the 31st show so I'm flying out for 2 shows rather than 1.

    I also don't see how they could possibly do 4 shows. If the Oct 31 show is in fact the last show ever at the Spectrum, I could see that one including a series of special guests OR one major special guest (like Neil Young). That seems like the only logical way that they'd be able to sell out the 31st and the 27th.

    I don't think there's any question they would sell out the 31st. Even if they had Hatebeak (the metal band with the parrot as a singer) open they would still sell out that show. The 27th is a different beast. I can definitely seem them having trouble with that one.

    If they sold tix the way they did in 03, it would have been an instant sell out. $37 face per ticket and no tix behind the stage.

    Now with $77 face for tix and tix behind the stage, the 30th sold out in a couple hours and all that's really left for the 28th are random singles and pairs in the 400 level behind the stage.

    The 31st would be an instant sellout if billed as last show ever at the venue and it's a saturday show.

    The 27th would probably be mostly sold out except for some seats behind the stage.

    I think if its 4 theyll have to announce a big time opener as well, because I dont think the shows were "instant" sellouts.
    I also don't see how they could possibly do 4 shows. If the Oct 31 show is in fact the last show ever at the Spectrum, I could see that one including a series of special guests OR one major special guest (like Neil Young). That seems like the only logical way that they'd be able to sell out the 31st and the 27th.

    I don't think there's any question they would sell out the 31st. Even if they had Hatebeak (the metal band with the parrot as a singer) open they would still sell out that show. The 27th is a different beast. I can definitely seem them having trouble with that one.

    Hatebeak?! That's classic! I guess the good thing about no announcement is that I at least discovered Hatebeak :lol:

    just got off the phone with spectrum ticketing and the woman said that she heard about them "likely adding 2 more dates" but they had no information about when tix go on sale. she definitely stumbled over herself when i (gently) inquired about information, so it seems like something is brewing..... 8-)

    Now we are getting somewhere! :D
