I have now booked a room in every Motel 6 within a 100 mile radius of the venue...just in case.

Lol! I think you'll be happiest at the University one. That's where we'll be, for what it's worth!

I’m in! Let me know when the pre-drink begins!

Soon....very very soon

Flight to Missoula on a 24 hour hold, hotel booked.  Was a great show in 2012 and the town has a great vibe!   Should I pull the trigger trigger on the flight with or without an announcement tomorrow?  What odds are we playing that the Aug13th will hold??  

I think the date will probably hold, but may not hear by tomorrow. Who knows though. I can’t really see flights being an issue to get, so I’m waiting until I actually get tickets. I’m thinking this show will be very hard to get tickets for. 

There are like 35,000 seats including the field. There will be plenty of tickets for those that put it as a first and second priority especially if it is in the same draw as Safeco. 

Oh wow. Thanks for clarification. I must have misunderstood what I read about seating capacity. I understood it to be much smaller. That definitely alleviates some stress. Thanks. 

Ya 25,217 seats in the stands alone. I guess I did not factor in them not opening up the back of the stage so you would lose some there if they do not give that option. McCartney played there in 2014 and wiki says that there were 25,192 people in attendance so I would say that would be the minimum to go by.

Attendance for McCartney in 2014 was 25,192...I find it hard to believe they'll squeeze in another 10k

So where are we at with a possible early September Boston show? The Seattle date checked out right?

Ya I can see why now. Back and sides were not filled due to the stage. Looks like a great venue.

Yeah, I suppose they could do an open stage setup and sell those, but I don't think I could make the effort to get to Missoula just to sit behind the stage. If this show is not in the lottery with Safeco, I think we're looking at single digit odds

I’d bet all 7 shows are in the lottery together. That’s probably why they didn’t announce the lottery today for the Seattle shows. They’ll be a shitton of seats available for us.

Yah, I can't see them running separate lotto's either.  It looks like one single 7 stop tour.   If you start isolating shows, it's a bit of a serviced, as it gives people multiple #1 picks.  Which are important if you're trying to get to GA for at least one of the shows.

That picture of Missoula it looks backwards.  When I saw PJ play there in '98 the stage was on the opposite side.  People on the hill could watch the show

I was at the 1998 show at grizzly stadium and i think capacity for the concert then was 25k.  However i know they have since added many more seats/sections to the stadium so ya 35k is probably about right.  Which isnt much smaller than these baseball stadiums that are like 40k.  Ill also add that back then both the floor section and the seating section were general admission.  The "seats" were all bleachers.  No idea if that has changed.

Anyone from Boston
Fenway still Reserved only?
Hows the Hilton Back Bay?

Stayed there in 16 for Fenway 2 with my brother and it was real nice. Not a far walk.  Not across the street but not far either.

SVRDhand13

I’m hoping for GA for Fenway. Last time I got good seats both nights by that was after a lot of hard work. I’d rather just get GA and show up at a reasonable time.

Holy piss it feels great talking about a tour again! Even if it’s just 7 stadium shows across the country. You can feel the excitement brewing!

I was thinking the exact same thing when i saw that photo!

Listening to the ad on PJ radio, it mentions PJ “headlining” this special charity Seattle Home Show concert. 

Anyone else thinking this will be a semi-festival type show? Plenty of other bands that could qualify to play on the Home Show bill....

Would be awesome and appropriate if AIC opened!!

Anyone have an opinion on the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor? 15,000 points a night isn't bad considering how much the actual price is. 

FYI - Chase Sapphire has 50K point sign up bonus (for those who haven't gotten it in last 24 months) so you can get 3 free nights at either Hyatt when transferring the points. Plenty of time to get the card, meet the spending requirements and book there. 

Very nice hotel, in an area with lots to do, but on the other side of city. I have stayed there on business trips.

All shows at Fenway are reserved seating on the field.  They did GA the first year of shows at Fenway and it damaged the field, no more GA at Fenway.

About to drop a lotttttt of $$$ on PJ

Here's a video of Mike raising the flag off KOMO TV in Seattle (if it hasn't already been posted):

Mudhoney is currently mixing a new album and the whole Sub Pop 30 thing on the 11th makes me think they could be on the bill or at least make an appearance. I bet some kinda tribute to Chris Cornell as well.

Posted this is the Home show thread but great news for those looking to get tickets imo.

Thanks. Hoping I can get great seats like the 2016 shows!

No doubt there will be an opener or two in Seattle... probably some guests as well, etc

varty yo

Just booked a hotel in missoula just in case. Already booked one in seattle and tickets. With cacellation insurance just in case it is 7 months away. Missoula is only 9hr drive for me and a $500 trip instead of $2500 trip to seattle haha

wbutler29

I think they'll announce Boston, Chicago and Missoula today or tomorrow.  If memory serves, they usually give us 3 or 4 days to make our potential plans/decisions then draw.  My guess is Opens tomorrow, closes Monday.  Just a guess.

my2hands

I think they do Seattle completely separate... Wrigley/Fenway will sell out in minutes
