It really is hilarious how some PJ fans on Facebook are convinced that all these dates are not going to happen.
Agreed. They're thinking "the really smart ones are booking Europe" and "maybe a few stadium shows in the fall" and "no new album" and "it's too quick to make an announcement" and that.
Oh well... they'll be booking more expensive rooms.
The second the announcement hits flights and rooms double?
No... airlines don't double based on a band tour..lol. Places like Oakland and Inglewood which are generally the least fancy motels closest to venues WILL raise prices
Still...the smart ones booked refundable rooms...once the hotels realize they're starting to run out of rooms, no doubt they'll raise prices.
I didn't say they'd double, I just assumed prices would go up. If it's only $20/night, it's no big deal.
The haters and doubters? Well, they'll learn a lesson.
My challenge is airfare seems to explode out of NY as soon as 20 or so additional bookings occur, outside the airlines "expected" bookings for that date. 1st world challenges.
Everyone should probably just pass on Nashville, terrible town. Stay away
just kidding. Pumped they're finally playing here again. Really want to do MSG also since that show looks like it might be on my birthday, but may have to miss out and try for another show or two instead
I am getting a tattoo on my hand of my GA line position.
Are the list, the hand marks, and the people controlling this still a thing? Is it worth it to try and line up for GA if you’re not part of this strange system? Just curious if others have had negative experiences with lining up for GA early.
I heard it was a real problem last year at the Seattle stadium shows. Something about a van full of Aussies who have also been doing in at Wrigley. It was in one of the threads, so I think it's still a problem.
You should have heard them at Wrigley around the rain delay. They were clearing everyone out of the GA section and one of the alpha male types (a tall bald headed dude) was outwardly threatening to beat the fuck out of anyone who tried to take his spot when they allowed people back on the field. It felt very safe great to be around such scum. I get the annoyances, but we were all subject to the shitshow that was the 2nd Wrigley rain delay. But we all knew something like that was a risk the day of the show. That clown at the very least should have been removed from the stadium.
Not sure if he was Aussie or not, but he was front & center and seemed to be with a decent sized group of people, sooo...
What a system, everyone should feel safe enjoying a show with fellow members.
Every band seems to have the "front rail bullies" who feel entitled and travel in packs. And when the lead singer acknowledges them it empowers them. True, they line up for days.... but until bands themselves care about the process it won't change. Bruce does lottery and it's annoying but keeps the same people from being up front all the time. His org started it for that reason... he was tired of seeing same faces.
I always find it puzzling that you get people who queue up for 2 or 3 days then they just stand there at the rail completely emotionless, I don't think even singing.
They typically don't really announce tours on the 10th tho.

If the rumor is the 13th for the announcement, it would make sense to have the newsletter say "make sure you're info is updated", and then say something a few days later.
I've seen the rumors regarding a potential 1/13 announcement but is there a reason we're all speculating about one today? It would be nice of course, and I'm hoping for it, just curious where the 1/6 source came from...

No
shows in Philly or Pitt for spring. Pitt was apparently contacted
about dates but couldn’t make anything work. Hasn’t been ruled out yet
for fall.
Public on sale date for spring will be 1/13. This
would suggest an announcement in early Jan for 10c presale if I’m
guessing right
So I think this is where speculation of a 10C announcement today or tomorrow comes from.

Snap! Forgot about that, thanks!

Haha I can’t tell if dimi being absent all morning means anything. With the lightning bolt announcement, the did the newsletter a day late and announced it via newsletter. Maybe they’d Move it up a couple days and announce tomorrow. Who knows?

Did they say the public on sale is the 13th? Or announcement is the 13th?
If the public on sale is on the 13th, we will get a 10C announcement this week for sure.
I was taking a look. I know that site typically has some solid info (so it seems) but some of it seems like it's just info they pull from these threads, so I have no idea.

Whenever Public onsale is, I'd assume the 10 Club lotto is wrapped up at least a week prior, which also allows for promoters to have their pre-sales prior to the Public sale. So if 13th is a date, to me that would be the announcement date, and 10Club lotto entry beginning then. So public sale would be week of 20-24th? Seems like a very tight window until the first rumored date (not that they wouldn't sell out even if announced a week prior).
Public on sale on a Monday? Is that normal? Or did jdizzle mean that was a 10C date?
That's what I was going to ask. Monday for public on sale seems strange. It doesn't allow any room for a presale of any kind (like Ticketmaster Verified Fan).

I'd add to that the new city hints were very quiet for about 10 days after a flurry of activity before then.
Then on saturday, okc was outright confirmed, very quickly, without the requisite weeks long "Spicy Guessing Game."
It seemed our trusted source was looking to "clean up the books" before some tangible news dropped this week.
Also, this is the first full business week of the year after a long holiday and the last chance to give 2.5 months notice FWIW.
That, combined with Alt Nation acting as the UMOPJ, it seems this could be the week.
I saw a rumor for public on sale for MSG on Jan 13th. Only problem with that is that public onsales usually happen on a friday with radio presales, etc on the wed and thurs.
