    I'm not pissed just bummed that i can't get a cancellation waiver or refund for my airline tickets to california.  $400 is a lotta money and i really don't wanna spend more $ to reschedule without knowing the new concert dates.
    Maybe eventually we'll be able too? I had only booked a flight back from San Fran.   Right now Alaska Air is offering free refunds for tickets up until March 31st.   I'm hoping they extend it later so I can refund my ticket without paying the $125 fee.  I think the ticket was around $160 usd, so the refund fee is almost as much as the ticket :(

    There’s no way the dates get rescheduled before June right?  Would have to be the fall?

    supposedly coronavirus may come back with a vengeance next fall/winter so I'm thinking 2021
    38 concerts and counting

    There was probably going to be a blizzard in Denver on April 9 anyway. Waiting in the GA line would have been treacherous!

    1. College reunion trip to Nashville built around show. Tremendous effort to secure 10 tix so we can all see together. House rented, 10 flights from all over NE booked, divorce papers threatened, etc., etc., ...

    week after,

    2. Major trip w/ 16yo son(Big PJ Fan, says the lyrics actually mean something) fully booked starting at Phoenix show and ending at Oakland show with Grand Canyon, river rafting, National Parks along the way. Huge financial and planning efforts here in addition to landing the seats. Spring break week.

    Positively still going on both trips. 
    Positively will not be able to afford trip(s) back to any of the rescheduled shows.
    Positively Positive no lesson learned here that I can share out loud other than friends and family first.

    Positively Positive that we will not experience a lesser exposure threat to virus missing the shows now as we'll instead be in bars, restaurants, hotels, cabs, public spaces, bordellos, music venues, etc. for those few hours instead. Note that living life is continuing all over the place. The supermarket was packed this afternoon with people, for instance. Isn't someone suppose to notify them and the staff that their putting Human Civilization at risk being in public? Ooops. That was out loud. Sorry. Sea, warned me once already.

    I'm I wrong here? I can handle the truth. 

    REALITIVITY


    Your two trips will be freaking EPIC, even without the PJ shows. I’m jealous. Have an amazing time, and we’ll see you at PJ some other time. Enjoy!

    I am positive that the new dates for my 5 shows will be in the fall and my work schedule will not allow me to go. Thats about as positive as I can be at the moment.

    Definitely glad I didn’t choose any nonrefundable travel arrangements. Going to be able to cancel my room at no charge and I had planned on driving to St. Louis from indiana anyways so I’m out no airfare. I feel terrible for those out some serious dough though. Glad my tickets will still be honored for the new dates. With my luck they will probably schedule my show for the weekend I’ll be on vacation in June or the weekend I’ll be on vacation in July.

    This board is buzzing like its the year 2003 again. Does that count as a positive? I know a lot of posts are political are divisive but I suppose that's better than silence? There were times last year when I was convinced the board was dying because the lack of activity. From both the band and us. Now we have a new album in a few weeks and eventually a tour. Anyways having shows to look forward to is always a positive thing. We get extra months of anticipation which sometimes is the funnest part in life. Certainly better than that day after the show feeling.

    Betting demographics are different for Billy Eilish than PJ... ;0  - anyone at that show over 30?

    Instead of leg 1 merely being a memory after Oakland 2, those who can still attend the rescheduled dates will still have something to look forward too!

    Super bummed last night. I have only seen the boys close to home... Seattle and The Gorge. This was my first time being able to travel to see them. I was super stoked for my first "away" show, and a few days in Nashville. I worked extra hours, double shifts, and saved every penny to make it happen. So yes, I'm a little heart broken but...Positively still going to Nashville and Positively still super stoked about that!

    Do you know that for a fact?  I thought for sure I was screwed with my nonrefundable ticket, but the airline (American Airlines) could not have been more accommodating.  I will be praising them for a while to come now.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    8 shows on the NA leg, none in my home state, so this was gonna be a hell of a trip (STL and then all from DEN>OAK).
    Positivity: fortunate that I have been to 99 PJ & EV shows, was able to even consider a trip like this and with a little luck, we will be at the make up dates. Hopefully Europe happens, in which case Zurich and Amsterdam will be shows 100, 101 and 102 for me.  And of course, Gigaton is 17 days away.

    • We'll all know the songs before the tour!
    • Keeping my hotel in SF to have a weekend away with the wife -- even if we have to stay in, not so bad.
    • Going to see Hamilton in SF the weekend we were going to see the Oakland shows (if Hamilton isn't cancelled)
    • Visiting Alcatraz that weekend too (if they don't shut down the island!)
    •  Realing looking forward to Ohana!

    Yeah, these companies want your business again, and they all know the situation. Better PR for them to be a little flexible. When in doubt, call them.

    While this all sucks as it looks like my points are non refundable I might just go to LA anyways.

    Santa Monica Pier, Hollywood sign, Roscoes chicken and waffles etc etc. 

    Why not. Life’s too short. I just have to keep saying to myself that “I know I was born and I know that I will die, the in between is mine.”

    So I won’t be walking the 10 minutes to MSG, and my sister is no longer coming in for a visit, but we have GA for Budapest & Zurich, planning a 2 week trip including Austria. And I’ll be listening to Gigaton in Dolby Atmos on the 25th. See y’all in the Fall :)
