    Are you saying PJ doesn't give you enough time? Because the Euro tour was announced over 6 months ahead of time as were Ed's tours and PJ20 and Canada were 5 months. All 5 months plus.

    If you can't plan a trip to a show in 6 months then you really have issues.

    I am. Pearl Jam is notorious for giving you enough time for European tours but not US tours. Plus they never put out all the dates at once (see EV tour dates). My reason for this post is out of frustration as my buddy want me to go see Dave at the Gorge in September but I would much rather travel to see Pearl Jam. The problem is you never know how much time PJ will announce dates. I guess I could have worse problems.

    So because you don't know if you want to go to DMB, PJ has to give you a year advance notice if they are playing and when?

    I have always had plenty of time to decide on PJ shows. I have no idea what you are talking about honestly.

    Do you honestly need more than 6 months advance notice on a show? and honestly I couldn't give a flying %^&$ what DMB band does.

    Not to mention most of DMB shows lately have been festival shows where he needs a lot more time to sell 60,000 + tickets, where PJ is selling 25,000-30,000 and they don't need as much time.

    And since you said I can say whatever I want about his music..............It sux.

    When you live in CT and want to fly to WA and you have two kids yes you need ample time. But I am not going to get into an argument with you as that is kind of your "thing" on this forum. I am just saying Dave Matthews Band always give all dates at once and PJ does not. Just an observation not really a big deal. Have a nice day.

    Sux getting old and having kids. But 6 months is plenty of time to plan a trip to a show. In fact it can be done on a website in 10 minutes if you have the money or an hour at a travel agency.

    It doesn't take 6 months to find a hotel, flight and rental car anymore. It took me a whole 20 minutes to plan my PJ20 trip and my sister-in-law and her husband planned their trip to PJ20 and have 4 kids in about the same time and were coming in from Tucson, AZ.

    PJ won't be playing in the US until the Probably Late August early Sept. so if they do plan touring the US then it won't be until probably late March or early April before you hear anything. If they tour later you may not hear anything until closer to May.

    I agree - and they actually TOUR the US. When was the last time PJ had a tour that covers a lot more than just one area of the US? 2003?

    No personal issues. Just stating that PJ does in fact give plenty of notice for tours. You never have a lot of time before the presale, but you have way more than enough time to plan it once you secure tickets.

    The days of PJ doing huge US tours are over. Not only could they not pull it off, they don't want to do it.

    DMB is far more popular than PJ and can tour the whole US with no hassles.

    I love how the OP complains about PJ's notice when PJ's summer up to the end of July was announced weeks before DMB's summer tour which only goes to July. Good stuff.

    The last 2010 US tour had a pretty short lead time. I don't personally mind it, but I could see how it's an issue for people needing to travel for it. And it's obviously not totally about plans getting laid out, but also the better deals you can find on flights and hotels by booking earlier.

    Being that I don't travel a whole lot for shows and I have a built in babysitter the short lead time was pretty cool for me. I ordered those PJ tix and it seemed like the next week I was loading up and heading to St. Louis.

    I wouldn't consider 2010 a tour. It was 18 days long. But yes that had a 2 month window which is short. That's the only tour I ever remember being like that though.

    It was a tour.

    tour (tr)
    n.
    1. A trip with visits to various places of interest for business, pleasure, or instruction.

    That's why I didn't mention others. I think there was plenty of lead time for the other shows in my order history.

    Good work on needing dictionary.com to define "tour". Well played. :lol::lol: I think we both know that 2010 was a pitstop, not a tour. But if you want to be cool, you certainly gave it the old college try.

    I had plenty of time planning my trek to NYC in 2010. I just need 3 days. The day to buy the tickets, a day to plan it and a day to travel. The other 57 days I was sitting and waiting. What ever will I do with the extra 150-180 days when they give their 5-6 month notice on the US tour?

    Judging by your comments you didn't seem to have a good grasp of the definition. I'm not trying to be cool, just trying to be helpful.

    What makes 2010 a "pitstop" and anything they've done since 08 more than that?

    You've gotta be the most ignorant know it all I've ever come across on the internet. That's quite a feat. Some great trolling though.

    That's great that it worked out for you.
