Haha yeah, i remember 2003. It's been a while then, over 5 years, and i've been over here nearly 3 of them now.

I don't think i'll ever get to see them in OZ again, but i'm sure i'll get to see them more here than i ever would have there, starting w/Ed in about 7 weeks.

I hate you!!!!

same, i feel your pain.

i had front row brissie 2003, 3rd row brissie 2006.


lucky i had front row for brissie night 2, 2006

ooh i'm so jealous. All these years i foolishly didn't become a 10c member, i don't know why. And brisbane 06 1st night waaaaaay up the back, brisbane 06 2nd night... maybe 10-15 rows back...

Although in 1998 i was pretty close, but on the side.. but seats i have ever had, thanks ticketek.. Also i bought those tickets on the day of the concert, must have just released some that weren't being used.

But I really like the idea of people from that state or country getting priority seating according to seniority within that country/state, then allocating to visitors from os.

i thought this too but they've been to europe since the last world tour so there is no reason for them to back there in a hurry, so i think its definately realistic that pearl jam are coming back down here and plus we played host to the best show of the 06 tour...

i like matt.c

I like the sound of this! Although Pearl Jam anytime of the year is great.

Yeah, i just don't see it happening. Yes, they went back to Europe, but that's now twice after a 6 year lay-off. They've been to Australia on the last 2 world tours.

South America had the best crowds in general, yet they didn't include them on the last world tour, i think it's their turn. Haven't been down there since 2005. I think a US tour, incorporating Canada and South America would be more realistic first.

I don't see just Ed going anywhere overseas either, not this year.

Alot of those shows were festivals too, and they didn't really go to any one place on both tours. Europe's done for 4-5 years, and Australia's done for 3-5 is my best guess.

how about they get rid of seating, and have GA shows, with early entry like they do in europe!
much better way to see a gig! get there early, meet loads of people in the line up, and have a great time!

Great minds think alike

Well, seeing this thread sure came as a surprise.

I'd be over the freakin' moon at the prospect of another tour but also quite cynical about the likelihood of it happening.

I predict Adelaide will only get one show next tour (I don't think Adelaide II sold very well) so I'm hoping to catch a Melbourne show (or three) next time around as well.

We wait a long time between tours...So kill me if I'm greedy when Pearl Jam finally make their way back to our shores!

I thought it was crap that there was a whole bunch of non-Australians in the best seats -- and I've heard a certain bunch of fans from overseas were in the best seats for the whole (or majority) of the tour.

When PJ tour NZ again, I'll consider flying over but I don't feel it's right that a whole bunch of Australian 10C members will take the best seats away from the New Zealanders. They've patiently waited so it's their night, not ours. They should get seated first then all overseas 10C members seated behind them.

Call me elitist or whatever but that's how I feel.

Yeh, im with ya too
