    Now tell us how you really feel ;)

    it just pisses me off so much I can barely contain it...

    Why hold the political/cultural views of some against your own fans? Aren't you first and foremost a band that makes music? Shouldn't you want to share your music with all of us that want to hear it, regardless of our beliefs? It's fucking petty shit and I would like to think that this band should be bigger than that.

    I live in the 4th biggest metropolis in the US, and I can't get a fucking show? I've gotta use my vacation to see you each and every time? Not to mention spending hundreds, if not thousands on airfare and hotels? It's bullshit, and it's really starting to make me wonder why I bother.

    PJ talks about being "faithful" - Why not be faithful to your fans in the south and tour it?

    At least I have Radiohead, RHCP, and DKM tickets to keep me entertained.... There isn't going to be any travel $'s spent on traveling to PJ this year.... 4 years in a row is enough... I have other priorities besides traveling back to the same 10 cities in the northeast to see a fucking show.... ridiculous.

    Hang in there. And I mean hang in there not in a patronizing way where some say be patient as you'll get shows next (because by PJ's track record this is not likely the case). What is sad is that you are basically hoping to see the last shows PJ will ever play in the South. I'm lucky living in Indiana that although I have only gotten two hometown shows, it is easier to get to Chicago and the Ohio cities (heck, even drive to Philly). I agree that it does get old visiting the Northeast to see shows, so I hope they choose some new cities to go in the US because I don't know that I want to go back to NYC or Philly. I've done that. SHows in Columbia SC are just as good, and I want to see some shows in Nashville, Dallas, Houston and Atlanta.

    I just figured out that out of the 58 Pearl Jam/EV shows I've been to, the average round trip mileage per show is 720. What it must be like for the Northeast crowd who complain about taking the bus to East Rutherford from Manhattan to see a show.

    Luckily, I still have family and friends in Indiana so I can go there if needed to catch a show.

    Still hoping for a trip through the south in 2012, even if I score a pair for one of the Europe shows!

    Please play the south in 2012!

    Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

    A twisted part of me wishes I knew what it felt like to be involved in one of these epic ticket fiascos...

    I didnt read through all 300 pages so if said already forgive.....but with the Gulf Spill and PJ's known for helping
    may get them down south, I think Houston and or New Orleans with the MAJOR airports and masses of people would be good choices if dates are limited. my two cents........... :mrgreen:

    No you don't.

    I was for the Canadian shows this year and it is not fun... I took an afternoon off work to get more frustrated than if I had actually been at work....
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
