why so early? 6, 7 months in advance? I was shocked when U2 put tix on sale for a July date at Soldier Field a couple weeks ago. seems like PJ isnt too far behind.
I agree! It's kind of ridiculous that bands are putting tickets on sale so far in advance. It's as if the promoters are in the hole and trying to cover some cashflow issues.
"We're short this month, well let's put tickets up for sale for (Fill In The Blank Band), I don't care if the tour isn't until 2011! We need cash!"
This is why so early: Think of it in a business way...if you were running a business, you are in your fourth quarter right now. You have your yearly goals, and it's broken down into quarters. You try and make the most money to close out the year in your fourth quarter. The bigger the profit, the bigger the bonuses, the better profits to show on your bottom line.
Think about it guys. There was a huge merchandise sale a few weeks ago. They're announcing next years Europe tour NOW, selling tickets in a couple days. PJ, Inc. wants a nice big number to close out the business year.
i think it works out better for the ten club tickets and ten club members, because they wont go on sale to the public for a bit and most people think why get tickets now for spring / summer?

In general, a band's touring entity is more interested in reducing their tax liability, as opposed to showing an enlarged bottom line. Their accounting/tax goals vastly differ from those of a public company.

I don't know a lot about the music industry, but this is being done right now for a business strategy, I almost guarantee it. Just not sure who exactly is making out here.
I hope so too!! And toss in a nice long Gorge weekend while you're at it!
I hope US dates come soon, but I would rather they put tickets on sale AFTER Christmas.... the $$$$ lay out in combination with the holidays is just too difficult. After spending $1000 on tickets for the west coast and Philly, a little more time to recoup and plan for the east coast would be nice, cuz I don't want to miss it!

so likely mid April to the end of May. That is really only 4 months early, which is typical for Pearl Jam.
Which "Pearl Jam" are you talking about? 2000 or 2003 maybe... I don't remember getting a lot of 4 month notices the last couple of tours. I remember getting 3 or 4 shows announced a time, tickets going on sale within a day or two, and then a month later, more shows announced. I would LOVE a 4 month notice with a whole tour announced at once (as this Europe thing seems to be). If they come back next week and say "Good news, Pearl Jam is playing 2 shows in Chicago, and 7 in Philladelphia, and no more dates are planned as of this time, tickets go on sale tomorrow" I am just gonna :roll:

That's the thing. It isn't all that early. Given the Europe dates, if a US/Canada tour is announced in the next 2 weeks, it would almost surely be BEFORE Europe, so likely mid April to the end of May. That is really only 4 months early, which is typical for Pearl Jam.
Agreed, and it's also my guess that they tour the US in April and May.

I have a feeling that you'll have some shows close enough, even if not in your state (ie: Vegas).
Which "Pearl Jam" are you talking about?
