Your Offical Guide to the 2016 Florida Tour

BLACK35

Just talked things over with the wife and were in for ft Lauderdale and Miami, come on lottery...fingers crossed. They will be 3rd & 4th selections for reserved seating, what you think the chances are that we could actually win of the shows or even both?

I think your odds are pretty good. Even if you don't get 10c tickets you can probably still get decent ticketmaster tickets.

I have a feeling the 2 south Florida shows will have the most out of state fans than any other show on the tour!

I will be trying for the 04/08/16 show!!
It's just a bit weird that awhile back I purchased a 04/08/94 setlist~

Miami show is going to be NUTS!!!

But I have a feeling the Jax show will be a special show. Kind of Like Moline.

Maybe VS. from start to finish?

Miami sounds like a fun place to see Pearl Jam. One of my old co-workers saw Pearl Jam there back in the day..said it was wild!!..said he had just got sober about 6 months earlier and he was all emotional
.. and listening to the music and Eddie's voice was awesome!
The rain, the people come running in through holes in the fence, then..his teen daughter came back bloody lipped from moshin..all the emotions..he was in tears..but in a good way!

I think that was the last time they played Miami. Lots of people jumped the wall, tour down the walls, went through the walls, to get to the show. 20+ years ago.

It's going to be nuts. I think lots of South American fans will be at this one...so lots of singing.

a smart person enters the room. Lauderdale and Miami will be great, its been way too long for South Florida. Tampa will be St. Paul like. Jacksonville will be Molinesque. I'm doing all four as well.

Any advice on a reasonably priced hotel to stay at for both the Ft Lauderdale and Miami shows that is perhaps somewhere in between? Flying into FLL and it seems kind of silly to switch hotels between the two shows, but don't want to be completely out of the way for both nights either. Renting a car is a given as we will likely head down to Key West for a couple of days after the Miami show. Never been to FL before, so any advice on the area is welcome. Thanks!

BB&T in Sunrise is NW of FLL airport and then the Miami show at AA Arena is downtown. The in-between place to stay would be around Hollywood with about a 30-45 drive each way.

Thanks, that's about what I figured just looking at a map. Is this a good strategy? Anyone else traveling doing these two shows care to share what you came up with so far?

I put in for Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, and Jacksonville. Fingers crossed!

It's been a long time since I lived down there but isn't key west like a 7 hour drive from Miami? Hope you realize that before you go.

I'm thinking reserved seats will be a near slam-dunk, GA will be the 50/50 chance!!

These should be some great shows to kick off Spring and the tour!!

electronblue

ooooh ffs..now trying for Miami, too!!! I just couldn't help it!!!..maybe I should quit listening to "Getaway"~

It won't be tampa. I was at the 08 show. Lamest crowd ever!!!
I've been to 22 shows. This was the worst by far.

My first full PJ show in 2.5 years so I'll be happy no matter what.

Going to Tampa (hopefully)
I've always had a great time there! I've never seen them anywhere else other than Tampa shows and Kissimee and the EV solo in Clearwater. Well, At least the fans in the area I was near were really fun and nice

if you want one hotel I'd say The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. It's over priced but it's next to 595 (used to go to Ft Lauderdale show) and 95 (used to go to the Miami show).

Other option would be the beach but it's spring break. That might be good or bad for you.

Google maps said like 3.5-4 hours? If it's 7, eff that.

Got that right. I'm saying Miami will be nuts and Jax will be special.
