Driving over 2,100 miles round trip from San Antonio Texas to Florida for the first two shows and the final stop up in Jacksonville with my brother which will be his PJ show. Last time I seen them was in SATX in 2003. Is been 15 years too long!! PJ25 10C

That's awesome. I can tell you, as can numerous others on this board, that there is nothing better than a PJ road trip.

For the 2014 tour, I rented a car and roadtripped to St. Louis, Tulsa, Lincoln, Memphis, Detroit & Moline...this was my mileage from that roadtrip:



I did Cincy too, but my ticket buddy drove to that show!!

Looking at another 3000 miles this spring...
PJ roadtrips are the BEST of times!!

Saturday after work I got my oil changed with new air filters, new wiper blades front and back, and got a car wash - had a little trash in it to throw out and all the time haha all I could think is PJ YESSSSSSSSSSS! Lol so I'll be doing this very same thing in a couple months. So in the mean time gotta get those brakes checked

Does anyone know if I can sell a Southwest flight credit from a canceled flight? I have a $127 credit that expires May 11th. I won't be able to use it and would prefer to sell to someone on here for a discount knowing lots of you will be flying. Again, if it's allowed. I can't call Southwest until Monday. I just hope I don't take a loss.

You may be able to book a flight by May 11th and then cancel it before the flight. You get the credit back and that starts a new 12 months. I think this is how it works but not sure.

And the show I want still slowly trickles to worse odds.

Hi Friends!
So Pumped for this tour! I want to do the Canadian leg and live in Toronto. I would like to go to the Toronto show if I only got one show but the odds are bad for Toronto. I feel I might just not get any show by putting Toronto first but if you wanted to go to Toronto first and foremost, but would hate to lose out and not go to any show (when I could easily go to Ottawa). Would you do the following that I currently have submitted? I don't think there is an easy answer from anyone as I won't know if I lose Toronto until the draw and then if I don't get Ottawa I will say I should have put that first. I think I gotta roll the bones with the following even though Toronto's odds are bad since I would prefer to have Toronto over the others?:

Pearl Jam 2016 North America Tour
PRIORITY DATE CITY PRICE/PAIR
1st choice 05/10/2016 Toronto, ON - Reserved Seating $157.00
2nd choice 05/08/2016 Ottawa, ON- Reserved Seating $157.00
3rd choice 05/05/2016 Quebec City, QC- Reserved Seating $159.00
4th choice 05/10/2016 Toronto, ON- GA Standing $157.00
5th choice 05/08/2016 Ottawa, ON- GA Standing $157.00
6th choice 05/05/2016 Quebec City, QC- GA Standing $159.00

BTW: If I have horseshoes and get Tor, Ott and Que, I think it's fly Porter to and between for the win. Thoughts? Anyone doing this and booking now but just not firm with Porter? I think you don't lose anything if you just don't take the firm rate?

PJNB

While not a guarantee I think you would have a pretty good chance at Ottawa reserved. A lot of people will have chosen that as a second/third/fourth choice so you will be right in the mix. Saying that you have better then 50/50 chance to get Toronto while you are at it since a lot of GA first priorities will have reserved as a second or third option. You are guaranteed Quebec and have a half decent shot to get at least on of the other two so be prepared for more than one win.

I really hope so and thanks for your thoughts and encouragement!

Am I the only one that misses the good old days of first come, first serve? Lost lottery in 2013 and odds aren't with me for this tour. Prior to that, I never got shut out.

Either way...I'll be there.

I agree in some ways for sure but don't miss the beating my F5 key took. (still have my PJF5 t-shirt ready for this tour!)

I miss those days too. I am glad to at least have a chance through the 10club. I have lost faith in getting any tickets through ticketmaster anymore. Way too many scalpers that control the whole system these days. I Couldn't get tickets to Springsteen, AC/DC, Paul McCartney, and yet there are thousands of pairs available minutes after the public sales on secondary sites for outrageous prices.

I hope somebody does something about this practice because it's becoming impossible to see anybody well known now unless you are uber rich and even if I were uber rich I wouldn't pay those silly prices.
