dont get me wrong...im STOKED to see PJ again this summer, I cant wait.

But I have to ask, does anyone else find their scheduling a little odd? Only one friday show and no saturday shows?

Must have been a last minute-ish tour they planned when venues were mostly full? Oh well...guess ill be calling in sick a couple times in june :)

    I hope there are other dates coming. I was fully prepared to fly over but week day return flights cost £977. At a weekend this is £398 per person - ridiculous!


    I would have to fly in date of gig and out next day so no chance of taking the whole week off.

    unfortunately i think it has more to do with the cost of the venues on the weekends than it has to do with adding more dates. i think weekend shows at places like the united center, msg, staples center, etc. are a thing of the past.

    there was a time when they announced a whole tour at once. this bits here and bits there kind of sucks. i feel like i need to go to a lot of these east coast shows, but it will suck if they announce some later closer to me. i rather miss work for shows closer to me.

    Once the tickets go on sale to the general public, they will probably add one more show based on demand. I expect a 2nd Camden and Mansfield show. The 3 day lag currently in between shows is odd, and they have done this in the past.

    For real???

    I'm surprised, I wouldn't think there would be such a great difference in cost and ticket prices would more than cover it but then again, it's not as though PJ have any worries about not selling regardless of the day of the show.

    I completely agree, we booked 2 nights at our hotel in Camden ( thursday and friday) because we are putting our money on a friday night show. There is too much space between Camden and DC, and I agree the three day break is alot.

    2006: Camden I & II, Continental II (NJ)
    2008: Camden I & II, DC, MSG I & II (NYC), & EV: NYC II
