Given the election season I would be surprised if they skipped FL. Either Ft. Lauderdale or Miami might be in play, since Miami-Dade and Broward counties are major population centers. I would also add Milwaukee, and remove Albuquerque and the Canadian shows. Maybe Pittsburgh? All just speculation.
A number of posters have mentioned the election. Do people think a concert by a privileged rock band will change votes? Or is it voter registration?
And don’t you dare remove Canadian shows!
Yes. Honestly, yes. Both. Some of the reasons I've heard of people voting for the orange buffoon have been equally as bad, or worse.

I think they need to help keep the madman out of office (2000, 2016) vs limiting him to one term (2004,2020)

Well...since AMT spilled over into here lostpawn is making a reasonable statement. The buffoon won four states by one percent. Like he knew the exact number he needed and got it.
We all know PJ is a political band, but not necessarily in a political way. This has zero to do with their privilege. I don’t think they sit around all day and watch c span, but they do believe there is a way humans should treat one another.
42% believe PJs new album cover is fake news. By all means PJ do another rock the vote, promise shows to swing states that flip away from Buffon in a change election. Let’s get that 1% back.
Although I could see the no 10club add on being something TM and MSG would do, There is absolutely no second msg show. It’s been only one on 3/30 from the beginning. I think they added the date because it was available and they would be in the area for album release and promo (SiriusXM) So why not get a quick payday? If rumored 3/26 is SiriusXM, it only leaves 3/31 or 4/1 for any add ons and msg is not available.
If they were worried about big paydays then why play all the cities with 99% odds? Do kiddies even like rock n roll any more? There are not 15000 PJ fans in the Los Angeles. Lorca I don’t like this alternate reality.
these are fanclub odds, not everyone is in the fanclub. Hell we see people bitch about the cost of the club and what you get from it all the time. most fans are casual, not nut like us on the board.
Not to sound douchy, but I cannot stand being in the 200's or 400' (or really any upper deck or level) at any stadium or arena. I hate heights/having to walk up stairs (specifically when I am drinking and/or fucked up on drugs)....so, as much as I am 100% in favor of this new ticketing system knowing that if I don't win GA means I am probably gonna be in the rafters at MSG is a double edged sword.

Just pay your way to a better seat. That’s the only other option.
I’m sure no one loves being in the back.
I'm also going to Baltimore, Krakow, Budapest, Zurich and Amsterdam X 2, so if I win the lotto I will take what I get.
I have met and exceeded my PJ budget for 2020 already, and there still might be an entire other leg of the US tour later in the year.
It sounds like you already won the lotto...
I have just reached the point in life where I make enough to do what I want to do, and seeing this band play is #1 on that list. I'm gonna go to every possible show I can go to before either I drop dead or they stop playing.
Since 2018 I have done Madrid, Lisbon, Missoula, Chicago X 2, Boston X2....Eddie solo last year in Tempe, Dublin, and the UK....and the shows above this year.
Not like I need to explain it to this group, but seeing this band play is a fucking drug for me and I absolutely cannot get enough of it.
More!!!
Good for you. When we look back we will regret the shows we didn't go to, not the ones we did.
Missing 'The Ten show' in Philly (when I am in NYC no less) in 2016 was my breaking point.
I legitimately threw my laptop across the room when I woke up the next day and saw the set list. I said right then and there, 'Never again!'
Also, it's been INCREDIBLE seeing shows with 1 friend, a bunch of friends, solo....friends that are into PJ, friends that (thought) they weren't, making friends at the shows, etc.
The shows in EU this year I am going with my best friend from high school who is in the middle of a divorce that has only been to 1 show in his life. It's gonna be something we remember for the rest of our lives.
By the end of this tour I would have gone to at least one PJ show with anyone I consider a 'close friend' in my life. I'll remember this era as the best years of my life. Fuck money, that is what life is all about.
I had the same moment when I missed Moline and Milwaukee (3 hours and 1 hour).....sure my daughter was five months old and I was getting no sleep but I go to great lengths now. Drive places by myself, attend shows solo....maybe I'm weird but I love it! I get friends to go see the band that never have and always treat them to a ticket. As I get older I realize I have few hobbies, this is my legit hobby.
People that don't understand passion think people like us are weird.
Fuck those people.
Nah. I pity those people. They don't know...they just don't know!
If Reserved is still at 99% wouldn't that kinda mean we won? ... Almost seems impossible to lose. Well I hope so at least
They did a fantastic job on this getting more seats than ever before.
Agreed. Lots more seats but just wait for the complaining when people see their actual seats.
Have a feeling it will go from "at this point, I'm just happy to be in the building. Let's go lottery!!!" to "what the fuck, this is my seat. Screw you 10C!"

There will definitely be some "200 level"?!

Can we PLEASE keep the fuckin' politics out of this forum? It's not like we don't have it shoved down our throats 98% of the time elsewhere.
Cmon guys.
Not likely. PJ is not a “party” band that does not address political issues and neither are a majority of the fans.
Nice straw man, but this isn't the forum for that shit. Take it to ACTS or AET
Do you mean the entire forum or this thread? (EDIT- rhetorical question) Besides which people speculating if the band will tour somewhere based on an election is hardly “shoving politics” down anyone’s throat. But it appears you were looking for a battle and I engaged you which was foolish on my part. Carry on sir

I've found that people who incorrectly throw around terms like "straw man" are people who spend basically all of their free time arguing about politics online.

Yup. God bless face value fan exchange. Buy a better one at face and dump your old one at face.

There will need to be a thread for best ticket improvement. I went from section 311 row 13 to GA in 12 steps!
