    it's nice to see my original post is still going strong. I was surprised, and tentative when I first came across that site, but now they're adding more dates so it looks to be holding true. didn't want to be the guy starting rumor threads :)

    Not to add feul to the fire here, but I was just listening to the radio here in Detroit, and they were rattling off a list of acts coming into town, and sure enough they said Eddie was coming to the Fox Theatre in Detroit.

    I am hoping what I heard wasn't wishful thinking on my behalf haha. Fingers crossed!

    Wow, Thanks for the heads up!! Lets hope the rumors are true. I have been hoping for a Fox Theater show since the first solo tour. That would be sweet!
    Let's say knowledge is a tree,
    It's growing up just like me

    Great discussion going on up in here :thumbup: Some very valid points and of course the usual assanine "If you don't like it don't go" responses. One thing I will say....if it has anything to do with scalpers.....he could do what many artists are doing now and just go paperless. NIN did it, Thom Yorke did it last year for his solo tour. You have to swipe your credit card to get it. Granted a scalper could bring someone in with them but it's much more difficult.

    I totally see where the people supporting him are coming from and your points are well thought out and valid. I agree I am not the same person I was 20 years ago, few are. But at my core, I feel as though if I were to ever be rich and famous, I wouldn't ever make my fans struggle to afford to see me perform...especially with the economy and unemployment being the way it is. Mike and Jeff are out on the road to have fun playing music and Ed is out to make money. Which is fine....it's his life and his prerogative. I just wouldn't do it that way and I am discussing that because it's a discussion board. End of story :mrgreen:

    There are a few different ways to look at this though. If he was able to keep his ticket prices at like 40-50 bucks, you'd have a much more difficult time getting tickets. many, many more folks would be fighting for them.

    I respect your opinion man, but I cant stand when people say shit like Mike and Jeff are doing it to have fun, and Ed is only out to make money. You have no idea why dude.

    The capacity of the Fox Theatre is approx 5,000. This is large as far the ed solo shows are concerned. There should more 10c tickets than normal available.

    Either that Detroit date or the rumored 6/25 Philly date is probably incorrect, since that's a really long trip. But hopefully both cities get a show.

    If I had the money I'd consider going just to be at the legendary place that Atlanta 1994 was at.

    Dear Ed

    Please remember, South Florida is not really "The South"
    It's OK to come here.

    Thank you

    I just called the Wang Center in Boston and spoke with a woman who said that Ed is scheduled to come there "but something is changing...don't know what." Maybe the date, who knows? I asked about Celtic Thunder and they said that's not coming until the fall.

    Agreed, thats a lot of land to cover in one night. Also a few spots in between that should get a show as well.

    Budy from Detroit just texted me "Book it June 6. Eddie Vedder in Detroit!!"
    Said he heard on the radio.
