Please Please Please tell us if there any other concert dates scheduled for 2008!

It would be very kind of you to tell us before we spend big money for Bonaroo.

thanks so much

rhinomagic

I agree.

Expenditures for Bonnaroo will help determine the rest of my summer, so if PJ is going to be out there doing their thing I'd like to know about it before my wife and I spend major cash to do this 'Roo.

I would like to see PJ but somehow I just don't see myself making Bonnaroo, not a big fan of festivals. The lineup is quite tempting though, some folks I would really love to see.

I hope for more shows this year, but whether that is to be or not I think I'm going to have to take a pass . Not complaining, just don't want to go

Yellow Ledbelly

Just wondering: What kind of expenses would one be looking at when planning a Bonnaroo trip? Everyone seems to expect to shell out mucho dinero.
I ask mainly because I've got two buddies who I know are going to be riding my ass for me to go and I would love to be able to fire some ridiculously high costs at them!

well tix are around $200, and unless you are camping in a tent, you are looking at $200/nt hotel or an RV rental expense, plus transportation to Tenn.

Basically a $1000 weekend, unless you sleep in a tent or have like nine people in a hotel room.

Let's be honest when you are picked to headline a festival you want to that band to pull people in. I could understand the execs at the Roo not wanting PJ to announce any kind of extensive tour until at least a month or so after tickets go on sale. This way they get the big pull of the pj fans in the area traveling to check out their concert.

It is unfortunate but makes sense.

As for expenses if you don't get tickets early they go up to 244 a pop plust 25 dollar surcharge plus 10 dollar shipping so about 280 for a ticket if you don't get them early. If you do get them early it is like 210 plus fees so it is closer to 245 total.

So are there hotels near the area? I thought you had to camp.

I agree and this is the only real complaint I have.

Its simple, please let us know so we can plan-tis all.

Thanks for playing.

While I am happy for all those that can go I too would like to know in advance. I can't see this being the only show they play.. a girl can dream

PJGARDEN

I have NO insider infor but there will be other shows. I'm not ready to jump on the roo bandwagon just yet.

Ten Club to Bonnaroo: "Please don't announce the lineup or ticket information for the festival because we do not have our entire 2008 tour plans completed yet."

Bonnaroo: "You are smoking some serious dope. You will enjoy the campgrounds."

This is not a Pearl Jam show. This is Bonnaroo. If PJ does not have their travel plans finalized, they can't just not announce Bonnaroo. This is completely different than announcing the 2006 tour 5 shows at a time.

Well, at least this is a festival where you don't really have to commit to buying tickets far in advance (like in 2006, where you had to decide whether to buy 10c tickets or not for each leg announced separately).

Honestly, I am prepared to let this one go for the sake of family peace.
I would make a last minute trip for a Nashville fan show though. The main turnoff for me is the impossibility of staying at a hotel.

I think its really cool they are playing bonnaroo

but Id just like to know what other options I have before plunking down the cake to go

I feel that if they weren't playing any other shows this year, they would have said in the announcement "only scheduled show of 2008".

How do you have access to conversations like this?

This is a very noticeable omission, when compared to last year's Lolla announcement.

Nice catch.

Perhaps, but the fact is, we dont know.
Last years statment was similarly ambiguous-they couldve scheduled more later on.
