    I think we all got excited about a big tour this year with all of the talk of three continents.  But I think reality is setting in with a "bigger" leg in Europe, and then three shows in SA and a few ballpark shows in the US.   Nothing different than any other post 2006 year other than 2017 with no shows.

    2013 was pretty big though for PJ, so perhaps a new album in 2019 will usher in a "full" US tour.


    I’d be pretty bummed if that’s all it was. I’m really hoping for a west coast arena tour. Did both chicago and Boston last year and I’m ready to get back to the arenas. 
    Yeah.   I think of these shows I would only consider Wrigley and if I can’t get GA I would pass.
    crazy talk.  lol

    Man I just keep hoping that the Boston dates are wrong. Labor day weekend would be a mess and it'l be hard as hell for me to get off of work.

    Does anyone have a seating chart for Wrigley 2016? Or was there a thread showing where folks sat with Reserved 10c tix if they had a low 10c number? Searched but I couldnt find one. thanks

    I've turned into one of those people that I used to make fun of.   I'll have seen PJ 3 times in Europe this year, so I won't be in the mindset of "it doesn't matter where, just being in the building".

    If it's ballpark shows (and maybe a festival or benefit in Montana) only in the U.S. in 2018, then by the time 2019 rolls around, it will basically be 3 years between US arena shows (last ones being in spring 2016).

    1 show at Safeco will sell the same amount of tix as 3 shows @ Key Arena

    ^ Bummer if you’re right (I think you are).  I wonder why they don’t use the same philosophy in Europe with soccer stadiums as venues. Too much capacity to fill?  Acoustics?  Both?

    They used the soccer stadiums in Italy in 2014 and now in 2018.  Not sure why just Italy.

    Friends Arena in Stockholm was an indoor soccer stadium.

    True.  So was Oslo.  They only sold probably 50% of Oslo's stadium.

    Facing the stage, I was to the right of the mixing board maybe 5 or 6 rows behind the walkway. 10club number 144###.  I thought the seats were great.  Hope that helps a little

    7 shows 8/8 and 8/10 Seattle. Boston and Chicago. Forget where the other one is.  Us and Canada Tour in 2019 also. Not sure about anywhere else
    Is this info from an inside source? Thanks for the heads up, even if it is depressing, haha

    kind of weird they'd do a show on a Wednesday?   According to the mariners schedule there's no games in Seattle from the 6th to 16th?  You'd think they do Friday/Sunday or Saturday/Monday or something?

    The Wed/Fri @ Safeco makes perfect sense if they are headlining the Outside Lands Festival that Sunday 8/12 (speculation)

    We are playing chess here folks, not checkers :)
