Wait a minute.

You called 32 times?

I bet your not the only one either.

Did any of you stop and think that the operators are starting to just mess with all these people calling them about PJ? I'm sure that must of them aren't complete morons.

As of now there are 2 shows and articles talking about these shows say only two nights. Here's a couple: http://www.philly.com/inquirer/magazine ... ctrum.html and http://www.kyw1060.com/pages/4818194.php?

Not that the media is always right, but I would assume that they have connections and would check their sources.

I'm not saying that they won't add more shows, but right now it's all just rumors.

I'm looking forward to all the bitching if a 'ween show is announced. I know a lot of people who bought tickets only to the 10/30 shows b/c it was the "last show at the Spectrum". They have *all* talked about how pissed they'd be if, after hyping 10/30 as the last show, they stuck another one in on the 31st.

Honestly, I can't blame them. Especially w/ all the hype about it being the last show. I'd be pist too.

Now, these aren't all hard core fan club hang out on the board worship the band fans. So they may be lesser human beings with opinions not worth the vibrations through air molecules it takes to get from their mouths to my ears, but jis' sayin'.

Also, I'd rather not have to buy more tickets. It hurts my credit card.

All that said, there's no way in hell I'm not getting tickets to a 'ween show if they announce it.

a. the 10/31 rumors were around before the shows were announced and tickets went on sale, so anyone who could only buy tickets to one show and chose 10/30 because they were banking that it would be the last was doing so at their own risk.

b. you (or anyone else) dont HAVE to buy tickets if 10/31 is added.

I agree, you always buy TIX at your own risk. It's not like they have never added on dates after a pre-sale has happened. Personally, I decided to wait it out. Worse case they don;t do a third show and I am stuck trying to find seats to the 10/30 show.

Like I said, these are not hardcore board lurkers who follow the band's every breath. These are casual fans. They see a show every few tours. They like the band/music, but don't have their finger to the pulse of the manic rumor machine like a lot of us here do. A lot of them did not know of these rumors. All they knew were the confirmed dates and that 10/30 was billed as the last show at the Spectrum. They want to see a historic band play a historic concert at a historic venue. They feel if another show is added, they lose some of that and don't get what they paid for. I can't blame them.

Who said anything about buying tickets to 10/31 show? Whether or not they buy the tickets has no bearing on feeling ripped off to some degree for the 10/30 tix. Either they don't get what they paid for, or they have to pay double. Either way, it won't help.

I'm not saying Pearl Jam are dicks for screwing everyone over. I'm saying people told me they'd be pist and here's why they said so and I can understand the feeling. Hell, I'm still a little sore about how shows were announced. If I'd have known about Philly in advance, I wouldn't have bought Toronto as the closest "confirmed" show at the time. I don't even know if Philly rumors had much steam at that point (I just don't remember).

I think it would be annoying myself but every concert is the same price so that is really not an issue.

It would be nice to know ahead of time though what are the full slate of concert dates. If I can only afford one pair and want to see the last show, and I buy a show which seemed like it WAS the last show, then it turns out not to and I'm stuck because I cant afford another pair, that kinda sucks.

I hear ya, but I dont worry about people who get pissed about stuff they could have known if they tried. people in this world will get mad that it's raining and they didnt check the weather.

I think everyone in the fan community is with you on this one. it makes no sense and is just a big FU to the fans. I bought tix for San Diego hoping for a second show and Philly hoping to hit Friday and Saturday, but I knew I was doing so at my own risk. now I hear rumors of a Vegas show, which is really pissing me off cuz I'd rather do Vegas than SD.

State of Mind

Ok, Pierre is saying lots of stuff about PJ!!! Just heard an interview with Stone on WMMR that talked about The Fixer being about Eddie "fixing" things! Pierre said the interview would be a podcast on their website.

Nothing definite about more shows, just him saying there are very strong rumors about more dates. Also he talked with Stone about possibly playing with Bruce Springsteen at the Spectrum.

Most of the news stories that came out last week when PJ tix went on sale said that PJ would be the last band or last act to perform at the Spectrum with shows on 10/28 and 10/30. I'm pretty sure most of them were worded carefully not to say the last show was 10/30 except for one article that said the Spectrum would not make it to Halloween.

And if my theory is right that I posted yesterday - that Philly would not be announced separately but with the rest of the tour, we could be waiting until the first week of August for an announcement as that's when the NBA schedule gets announced and since it will be October, most likely the band will be playing indoor shows. The NHL schedule is out, but I have a feeling nothing will be announced until the NBA schedule is finalized.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

If they play the 31st....Great!!!!!

If not....

Ill live........

This has been the #1 issue with me since 2006. And no one has been able to successfully answer why they do this except for the reason no one wants to admit. Money. They announce the shows like this because they know people like you and me and 1000 others will panic and buy tickets to a show, and travel, knowing it might be the only chance to see them, which I do. I gripe about not getting shows in Texas, but I do travel.

I like the 10C. I think they do a lot of great things for the fans. I really do. But the way this band and their management releases tour information is frustrating beyond belief I wish they would just wait until all dates are confirmed and throw the whole tour up at once like every other band and like PJ themselves used to do.

If they did that, no one from Philly would ever have to worry about being shut out of tickets because people like me wouldn't come from Texas or all over the country to see them. No offense to Philly. I would rather hit shows closer to me.

I understand the North American "tour" may not have been planned when Chicago and Toronto came up. I am talking about the Backspacer "tour" and everything back to 2006.
