for a band that is big on conserving resources, think about how much worker productivity is wasted because of the way the band/10C releases news/puts tickets on sale/etc.

As much as I hope there's a 3rd show, and as much as I don't put stock in what some radio station says (face it, most radio stations exist for PROFIT - they'll say anything they think will get more listeners so they can sell more or higher-priced advertising), the band is not responsible for what we do as we wait for and try to find out about shows!

no, but they can influence it, just like they try to influence our votes, our shopping habits and our energy consumption.

I just called up comcasttix because I still haven't recieved my print-at-home tickets. The girl told me that they're holding the Pearl Jam tickets (it usually takes 48 hours) and that they'll be emailed within a week or two.

So while I had her on the line I asked her if there would be a Saturday show and she said "No, not that we know of."

I wouldn't say that confirms it. But at least it's out of a Comcast worker's mouth rather than "my uncle's friend's nephew who cleans the bathrooms at the Spectrum."

I wouldnt take into account much of what those first line people say. They really cant talk about unannounced shows. Plus when I called up twice last Friday trying to get tickets they kept telling me both shows (10/28 & 10/30) were sold out and no more tickets would be released even though I was still able to get tickets thru the site.

I got ya. Well that's good news. We can keep hope alive.

I still think that there will be a saturday show. I called the Spectrum yesterday and the lady I spoke with told me that we would be getting an announcement sometime this week about the 10/31 show and that I should keep checking the Comcast website or calling the phone # for updates.

what ever happened to the 10/27 rumor is that no longer happening or is there still a chance for a tuesday show also?

Wasn't that the original rumor, b/c Bruce had 30/31 taken?

Wolf At Bay

and what about 10/29?

with each passing day - this shows seems less and less likely...

I have a feeling that there will be no more shows added.....that 10/28 and 10/30 is it.

dont you think we would have heard officially from 10c by now?

i have tix to both shows and would be a little pissed off if they added a show on 10/31 because i was under the impression that i would be seeing the final spectrum concert. same with 10/28...id be pissed if they added a show earlier in the week because i suddenly go from having the first show of the 'run' and the final show at the venue to having the two middle shows. that wold be balls

If we dont hear anything by Friday night, then I think its time to start worrying.

I'd bet a lot that 10/31 is happening. That was the rumor all along, and PJ pretty clearly seemed inclined to play it by setting the original dates of 10/28 and 10/30. Plus the sales people selling out all those club seats for 10/31, etc. -- not to mention how quickly the first two shows sold out (other than behind-stage and upper-deck singles to 10/28).

arent people already buying boxes and suites or whatever theyre called?

I am in the same boat. Balls indeed, my friend, balls indeed.

Yeah, it would be very peculiar to schedule Wednesday and Friday shows only if they weren't doing a Saturday show. It seems downright silly not to do it. I can't imagine what the reasoning would be not to add the third show. I'm not sure if the lack of a Saturday show would inflate or deflate Friday ticket values. On one hand, it would mean that show is the definite final show and the only semi-weekend night to see them. On the other hand, some people might bag the travel plans if they can only catch one night with a weekend trip to Philly. I really hope they play some more dates.

Looking at some of the past tour trends, they don't always kick off the tour right when the album comes out. I'm thinking they must be planning a much larger tour for like January-March 2010. I just don't know how they could possibly release an album and only support it in four U.S. cities. That would be crazy.

I'm with ya. I am still confident this show will happen. I will be surprised if it doesn't.

The people who have spilled the beans previously about the Saturday show have probably been told to remain quiet because of rabid fans like us who keep bombarding their phone lines

If they were only playing 2 shows then why would they need a day off in between them? It does not make any sense...they would be playing them back to back like they are in Seattle.
