I just started an entry level job and I only get 13 days off per year. And that's sick days included in there. Horrific. But, lucky I live in NY. 2 shows no days off. My boss works remotely in Philly mostly so no days off there either. Can take a half day for Hartford/Albany, and will take 2 or 3 days off for Toronto. So all in all, not bad considering. I just need to figure out how I am gonna afford this and acquire tickets, if this is real!

I get 5 weeks a year holidays, plus an extra week if we wish to bank it. my wife and I make a comparably meager living to those that can afford to follow this band for multiple dates or to different countries or even continents, and she has been nice enough to tolerate travelling with me to 3 of my PJ/EV shows (Fargo, St Paul, and Minneapolis-not terribly far, but still not cheap or quick rides). we've made a mini-holiday out of it.
i doubt I'll be travelling to see this band again. so hopefully we get a canadian tour at some point.
< Fair enough, on both accounts. I spent far more than $2k on a trip to Europe this summer for holidays, so it's all about where my priorities lie these days...
I think my biggest issue is that I don't get enough vacation to accommodate doing stuff like this. 15 days annual leave is just not enough.
15 days annual leave is shocking! There is no way I could do that. The apprentices in my office get 21 days minimum (plus the public holidays)
Lol, Merica! Yeah vacation days are few and far between here. I used to get 14 but I haven't gotten any for about 8 or 9 years now
Wow...
that's horrible
Yep. Corporate gig was pretty good but now I own a bunch of restaurants. As the chef you pretty much work all the time. I get away here and there of course but I don't expect or assume I'm entitled to any days off. Kinda goes with the territory
Restaurant business is truly the toughest business there is. I commend you.
Is anyone else surprised that they would be doing a tour like this without new music to support? I figured the LB tour (as far as the US was concerned) was over with last year's Midwest run. So I was expecting them to be working on a new album in 2016 and not getting a US tour again til 2017.
Yep, I'm surprised too. Not hating, just saying people around here like to jump into stuff
They did tour in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, and arguably 2011 & 2012 without an album to support them.
I was speaking strictly about US tours. I'll give you 2008. 2004 was the vote for change tour. The rest were all Europe Canada and S America. They typically don't do US tours without a new album to support. Not saying a 2016 US tour isn't happening just saying it's not what they normally do. So I guess what I'm wondering is is it possible that we could be getting new music next spring?

I get 41 days off per year at my job right now and they are pretty flexible with allowing me to change my time off at the last minute. That makes it easier to put in for time off based on Internet rumors and change it later if it doesn't pan out.
I have 4 kids though so it definitely makes traveling to shows tougher. We try to make any travel include lots of stuff for the kids to do. That way everybody is happy and gets something out of the trip. Plus I end up with enough time off to take the kids to Disney or other places that's all about them.
Are they hiring? Lol. 41 days!!!! Holy shit. I'd take off the summer so I could surf all day
Hah I've been working here since I graduated from college (20+ years) so they treat me well.

15 days annual leave is shocking! There is no way I could do that. The apprentices in my office get 21 days minimum (plus the public holidays)
to be fair, it is 15 days + 10 annual public holidays....
that being said, after 10 years of service I get increased to 20 days annually... but that is the max. So when I top out my career I get less than your apprentices...
it's tough to wedge in PJ specific vacation days when my parents live in Newfoundland (and it takes 12 hours of travel to get there) and my brother in Toronto... thus why I get to toronto - two birds, one stone dealy...
Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
There are people on this site who are old enough to.....
A. Be financially secure B. No wife/husband and or kids C. Own their own homes (no mortgage or rent) D. Live within their means E. Live a debt free lifestyle F. Save for travel
Therefore travelling to multiple shows on multiple cities is not a financial strain.
I would add that if you don't drink alcohol or do drugs, don't smoke cigarettes, drink coffee at home rather than paying $3 or more for espresso drinks at shops, and don't have cable, you would save well enough to travel every month, if you wanted to. At least, that's what works for me. Most people I know spend several hundred dollars a month on those things; I prefer to travel regularly. Also when travelling alone, I always stay in motels or hostels rather than hotels. In NYC, I've never spent more than $35/night for hostels located within a few blocks of the 2/3 subway stops.

I was just on a ticket site that I check stuff out everyonce an awhile. Typed in Pearl Jam and it shows a the Mexico show coming up and also a Baltimore show OCTOBER 27 2016 at the Royal Farms Arena. Now I don't believe that for a second and when you clicked on the see tickets tab it takes you to a page with bunch of jibberish. Not sure if you can name the web site here, if so let me know and you all can check it out for yourself

It's a typo. It's been there since 2013. This has been discussed plenty already.

I called the person who handles our corporate suite account at the Canadian tire center in Ottawa, and they said there wasn't any word about a PJ show at the CTC. praying she's wrong :(
Tempers are wearing thin. Let's hope some robot doesn't kill everybody.
sorry about that Baltimore post, never read anything before on it, But figured it was all crap

I think the list of rumored dates that is floating around is fake. I do however think that a 12 date tour beginning in ft. Lauderdale and ending at MSG will be announced soon.

All my opinion, I think the list is real. I just don't think it's anywhere near final. It could drastically change in the end but I do feel a spring tour is happening.
So don't shoot the messenger, but I subscribe to a University of Tennessee Rivals site and there was some discussion on the message boards over there about these rumored tour dates. One guy chimed in that Atlanta, Nashville and Lexington were 100% accurate locations. I asked if the dates matched as well and this is what he just sent me.
I know for certain Atlanta, Nashville, Lexington, and Columbia are accurate. The remaining probably are as well but might be off by a day or so. I know folks at Live Nation and the ones I mentioned are accurate.

What is the date of the first show? I've seen both 4/8 and 4/9 (unreliable). I am expecting my first child at the beginning of May and would like to see if I can make a quick overnight trip to S Florida if at all possible.
Congratulations, you just guaranteed your baby will be born early on 4/8.
