I know Minnesota would love a show anytime or anywhere.

Here are 5 cities in the USA where I’ve never seen Pearl Jam and would like to do so:

Albuquerque
Asheville, NC
New Orleans
Portland, ME
Portland, OR

I visited Louisville for the first time last September and enjoyed it.  Pearl Jam will not play there due to their arena’s ticketing policies - the floor is all GA and the seats have tiered prices.

I 100% endorse a show at the Highland Brewery in Ashvillle

Atlanta definitely overdue. We should get 2 shows to make up for the drought!

“Anywhere” meaning south, midwest, west, etc...or just another impossible ticket in the NE?  

Ny’rs should take the hint and travel out to see some shows. 

Yep. Use NY to promote that new album. (Wow PJ sold out MSG! So donate!). I probably will donate anyway, great cause.

But if NY gets skipped over again ( yes 1 show for a 25 million region with $1500 tickets is essentially being skipped over) - DotC tour is definitely reminiscent of Bowie . Suffragette City.

Here is another prospective. I don't think they need NY to promote anything at this point in their career, playing the Apollo for the SiriusXM show makes sense for 3 very specific reasons. It's a historical venue they have never played, it lines up with their tour schedule, and SiriusXM is headquartered in NYC. I get what you are saying about supply and demand because NYC stands alone as far as population goes, but Houston hasn't had a show in 17 years. In that time frame NYC has had over 20 shows, and probably 20-30 more in very reasonable traveling distance. I think they have gone above and beyond to try and meet the demand of such a heavily populated region. I see your situation as being very fortunate when it comes to being a PJ fan, but there are always different ways to look at things. I have only slept in my bed 1 time after a PJ show, and will be setting out on another trek come April. I can respect your passion though and hope that you are able to score tickets.

Truth.  Tix available for OKC.   Welcome to the rest of the country NYC.    

Y’all so quick to spend our money, thanks dude!

ya got a grand I can borrow for travel? I’m good for it, I promise. I thank the prez for that. Sick returns. BTW no direct flights NY to okc.

A grand? C'mon. I'll plan the entire trip for you; won't cost more than $500. 

Solo that’s possible. But after doing that twice told me wife if we can’t afford to go together I’m not going. I’m over traveling solo for shows.

Found round trip flights to st Luis for $72. But Transportation, food, hotel/Airbnb plus tickets would be about a grand for 2.

Yeah, but lerxst can't count the price of tickets if he's comparing travel vs. a NY show. He'd be buying tickets either way. Also can't really count food--you're eating either way. Would have to pay for transportation to the NY show, so gotta discount for that. 

So, to make it a fair comparison (for lexrst's situation), it sounds like your trip could have been done for what, about $250 for two people?That's an insane deal!!

For those looking to avoid early am or late pm flights, they are running about $550 and nothing direct from nyc to either okc or pq. So with hotel and ground transport, the cost is right up there with SH. Balancing that with work and kids in school? Newark has direct to PQ and a cheap package w hotel is $575. Long trip to airport plus customs will be a trip almost as long as driving. I’d have to take a 6.45am flight home Monday am and then commute from airport to work 2 hours. I would probably need a couple of hours minimum in the office Monday. Or pay around the same for SH. Or wait til the fall for another show and hope the options are any better which seems a long shot. I’m a big boy, I don’t need my binky. Yet.

Well, if you're going to be THAT picky.... 

Lerxst1992

It would require leaving for the airport at 2am for an intl flight. Not convinced that’s picky.

You shifted from "it's too expensive" to "it doesn't fit my schedule." You're moving the goalposts.

LaGuardia to OKC, leaves at 7:45 a.m.; you're back by 2:00 the next afternoon, or you can wait and fly out a little later. Still can get you the trip for less than $500.

This is to Quebec City?

Those of us who are regulars here all knew these dates well in advance. No travel plans needed to be made now, at these rates.

Rage with a Chicago date rules them out for lolla. Wrigley concerts are filling up fast......my guess is PJ lolla for Chicago this year.

manatarms79

They may just skip Chicago this year...

RT85129

Wholeheartedly agree with Jojo.....we really, really want an Atlanta date.

That's what I'm thinking too. I have a feeling they're holding off on announcing their second leg of the tour is because some of those shows may be festival dates. We'll know more in March when Lolla announces their lineup. 

Choska

T-Mobile Park in Seattle is open from 9/2 to 9/10. Def Leppard/Motley Crue show on 9/2. So that's an 8 day window for a show. Nowhere else in Seattle for them to play unless they go to CenturyLink. Only problem with the Clink is the sound. The roof that keeps in crown noise also creates an echo. Everyone I talked to who was at the two Home shows agreed with me that the sound was really good in T-Mobile Park. Fingers crossed.

mcgruff10

So we don’t have once single rumor for the fall?

manatarms79 said:

No they wont.  It's obviously either gonna be Lolla or the United Center.  WGN when talking about the spring tour announcement mentioned Chicago would be getting 1 show later in the year.

link93

I’m guessing it will be Lolla and expect rumors to heat up in March. Seems like Lolla usually announces 3rd or 4th week of March.

There was a Houston rumour a couple of weeks ago.  Also a Columbus / Cleveland rumour out there.

With PJ doing Lolla Stockholm & Lolla Paris, it wouldn't be a stretch. Few openings at Wrigley left, Soldier Field would be in preseason football and United Center is... a place.

Lolla would give them a livestream platform to get a little political before elections, as well as cause us all to murder each other for Lolla Aftershow tickets at the Metro.
