That i can agree with.
You going to Portland? Im waiting for the pre-sale to book my flights, Im not adding anything else so I think Im safe
oh well. Philly will be a blast and Chicago will rock, so I'll see you there. I'm only going to 3 shows (counting PDX) I just can't do that many weekday shows :(
3 better than 0 though"Without the album covers, where do you clean your pot?" - EV0 -

Ever since 2006 I have disliked the way they announce the tour dates. Bunch of BS.
Funny how so many people go along with it or aka drink the the kool aid.0 -

Be grateful, never happened to me, and some other thousands...I desire peace where I live

It's like handing us one piece of a puzzle at a time, and telling us each time that it's done.
Second, I'm pretty sure that I wrote that I feel they could dig themselves out of a hole by simply giving us a good reason on why the delay for these show announcements.
Finally - I didn't think I was BITCHING AND MOANING, as you stated so eloquently.. this is a discussion board, and if we all believed one thing, this place wouldn't exist. It's our abilities to discuss topical matters civilly that differentiates between discussing, debating, arguing, and bitching.
I wasn't saying you were bitching and moaning, I said that if Pearl Jam announced their 10/31 show and canceled it, there would be bitching and moaning. Thats obvious.
IT MAKES SENSE NOT TO RELEASE ALL FOUR DATES AT ONCE. Why does no one realize this?
I posted this in another thread:
I think they release some shows at the same venue before others is to see the interest. If the first 1 or 2 sell out, they can add more. If they release all 4 at once and they don't sell well, they'd have to cancel some. Announcing dates later > canceling shows.
Remember people, they are catering to people who want to go to one show, not ALL FOUR! Sheesh! I know they're not sitting there going "Ok so how do we plan this so people who want to come from out of town to all of the shows are able to get as many tickets as they want with the best seats possible?"

i agree with the op on that. it sucks. i don't agree that an entire area of the country should be put down because of something that happened in one place.This show, another show, a show here and a show there.0 -

Oh just freaking relax now. It's a message board and we all don't agree on everything. It is what it is.0 -

It ain't as if there isn't a precident.
Actually go back a few years and they never announced these shows so poorly. There actually is a precedent. Up until after the 06 tour the announced everything at once. Good thing I saved vacation to go, and now I'm not because of how they announced these. I wasn't taking off work for the way these shows fell. This isn't the band either necessarily, it's management. Something needs to change. It's, to put it bluntly, treating the fans like shit. And the people on here that like to bash the people who can't go because of the way they announce these shows are just as bad. I quit coming on here because of them. This used to be a good community, but quite a lot of people have ruined it. But the point is, they really need to pull their heads out of their asses with these shows already."Fuck the talkin' let's start rockin" - Eddie Vedder 9-5-00 Pittsburgh
