I have to say.... If Buffalo gets ANOTHER show before Cleveland.... I'll be slightly upset

Both in 2010, buffalo in 2013, buffalo in 2016 but not Cleveland again would just be mean

I think there are a lot of factors. The building management probably has a lot to do with it. How willing/eager are they to bring Pearl jam in, how well do they work with band management, etc.

I loved the Cleveland show in '10 and Cleveland in general... but it was not sold out, there were groups of empty seats in the upper level and I don't think behind the stage sold out.

In Buffalo, we have a ton of Canadians who come down and the place gets packed and they sell behind the stage no matter the day of the week (2010 was a Monday). I'm sure that is a factor too.

..

most underrated seats are the first side sections of the stage that are considered "behind" or "obstructed view" seats. I would never sit fully behind the stage, but those side stage seats are unbelievable, way better than back floor or lower bowl far away

shhhhhhhhh

Ill see your 2010 show and raise you the 2006 and 2003 shows, which i believe were sold out. Also, 2010 ended up being on mothers day, some people may have found that inconvenient

Funny you should say that. Mothers Day 2016 is proving to be an inconvenience.

So it sounds like east coast based on these rumors. Any predictions if our friends in the west get shows in 2016?

Can you imagine this place when the lottery begins!?!?!?

It will be madness

I'm going no matter what. I'll be happy if I could score just 1 GA show between me and my wife's memberships. Everything else I'll score on TM or the dreaded stubhub if I have to.

i dont mind stubhub sometimes. I would rather purchase tickets, pay a little extra but pick the section im in than enter the 10c lottery and risk getting back of the floor...

I'll be happy just getting in the buildings but I must say GA for two shows in 2013 was amazing.

I love GA if its just me or me and someone else tall.... My girlfriend signed up for an account... If she wins GA, were gonna try to trade them for a low # reserved seats or just good TM seats... Being 5 foot 2 in GA isnt worth it

I'm 6'3" and good to go lol

You must've been the guy in front of my friend at GCF. she is like 5 foot tall and always attracts giants in front of her. it is a weird phenomenon.

Lolo, This is my life.

Pff, my wife is 4'11"... so GA is definitely awful for her. Even being up close like 5th row in KC '10 she can't see much. We traded our GA tix last year in Denver for seats on the side, 2nd row up from the floor and even with "the rail" on Mike's side and it was FUCKING AWESOME. Like being on stage. Can't imagine having better seats next tour.

Are there any random cities being played that would shock us? Like visiting Maine or Delaware, or Iowa?

so is mine. even when we get floor seats, I have to give them up and search again. however, like you, this has worked in my favour in the past. just not for PJ.

PJ's touring hasn't made sense for years. It all comes down to timing and arena availability given how short most tours/legs have been since 2006. Toronto is a great example: We got a show in 2005, two in 2006, one in 2009, then two again in 2011 and nothing since despite the heavy touring (relatively speaking) in 2013 and 2014 around LB.

Pittsburgh is another great example: a city they love playing but didn't a show between 2006 and 2013.

Only place they could really play at this point would be the Q but the Cavs are essentially guaranteed to atleast make the Finals so maybe Cleveland just isnt meant to be

You forget CSU....shitty arena but still possible.

Any chance of a 2003 style tour for North America? I'm sure it would be fewer dates total, but I could see them doing a coast-to-coast arena run spread out over a few months.

Never. I don't think the band will ever tour like that again. I also don't think Eddie's voice could handle doing that many shows in that much time nowadays. This band will never do complete huge tours like that. I've just accepted it over the past 10 years. It would be AMAZING but it won't happen.

i saw NIN there a while back and it wasn't bad, but i think its significantly smaller than the Q. I would assume that would leave a lot of money on the table.

Although your statement in general is probably true, he didn't specifically say May 8th in Toronto.
