Most flight tickets are changeable these days and hotels can be booked with free cancellation. Sure there could be a cancellation on the day of a show and you can’t control that but usually there would be at least 24 hours notice which should be enough to change flights etc. Even this SD thing had over 24 hours notice. Bring on the dates!

Hometown shows and shows within a relatively short drive are my focus this year. The furthest distance show I'm holding tickets to I'll be able to hang with family and friends if the show cancels. I plan on traveling (flight/hotel) for one show only once dates are announced and will hope it goes as planned, but if not, its a fun city to visit regardless.
I agree, seems pretty grueling for them these days, but then again if they play shorter setlists, maybe.
Gotta think the shorter sets are coming sadly.
Shorter sets in terms of total time, yes, but not necessarily less songs. Just less extending into jams (sorry Boom), like they did in Ohana. Closer to studio versions. Let’s say 4 minutes on average per song. Fits easily 12 of them per hour with some time and chatter in between songs. If lucky between 25-27 songs.
Extension of songs helps give Ed’s voice a break though and 25-27 songs a night for any other band would be great. For these guys that is a short set.
At one of the Fenway shows (I think night 2 in 2016) he mentioned that his crowd chatter is to help him catch his breath, so fewer songs, but more Ed chatter. If that means more tales like the one from Tampa 2016 about joyriding in the cars he was supposed to be valet parking, I'm okay with it.
"I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the [shows I've done]. Some folks just have one, others they got none..."

Agreed.
This Tool tour will likely be an aberration for me, at least for 2022... Outside of it, I think I'll be sticking to local shows, unless something major comes up.
It's not just the uncertainty of covid that has me thinking like this... I travelled a LOT for shows between 2011 & 2019, and after 3 decades of seeing live shows, my interests may be changing. Being in large groups of people is less and less fun as I get older.
The only Europe show I have right now is Prague. I have never been there and have already planned a 10 day vacation to visit different places in the Czech Republic with a friend of mine who lives in Paris. I will be bummed if something happens with the show. But I plan on having a great time visiting the country anyway.
My wife and I went to the Prague show in 2018, spent 5 days there and had a great time. Enjoy.
I am picking a city that if PJ cancels I will still have an amazing trip. No regrets either way and once the dates are announced I feel confident enough because of that to go all in without worrying about it.
Yup, that’s why we’re full steam ahead with California. If any show gets postponed we will hit more baseball games or the beach.
That’s exactly why I decided to pull the trigger on my trip to Ohana (encore) last fall. I knew there was a chance the shows could be postponed if someone in the band/crew got covid, but I planned a short vacation around it so that I would have a blast either way. Fortunately it all worked out- I spent a few days in LA seeing friends and then drove down for the festival. But if the shows hadn’t gone forward as planned, I still would’ve had a great time. And I think that’s the attitude you have to have if you’re traveling to see shows these days- you go in knowing there’s a risk the shows won’t happen, so you plan a vacation around it. So I’d definitely recommend picking a place where you’d like to spend a few days for vacation, regardless of whether you get to see the show. Think of it as a regular vacation where you get to hang out, see the sights, etc., and hopefully catch a PJ show in the midst of. Not a vacation solely for the purpose of seeing a PJ show.

I mean the last two shows that I attended (Ohana and EV Chi), which were the first two shows I had gone to since Covid began, I literally could have gotten a free ticket from several people giving them away the day of the show. That is pretty telling.

Face to fan changes that for sure though. Hard to predict how things play out with some of the cities this spring. All of them were sellouts in 2020 and it will be interesting to see how it goes this time.

I completely believe that for every show besides MSG, you will be able to get tickets very easily, and most people will even be able to land good seats, not just in the door seats. This belief also gets stronger with every day they hold off on announcing the dates.

As seniority becomes less and less of a factor and if Platinum TM is the way of the future, this may be correct.
So bye bye 10c or will there be enough people that stick around because of the limited merch? There isn't any other reason that I can think of. 10c tickets is why most people are members.

If anything 10 club will be more important if they do platinum/dynamic pricing.
Win the lottery, ticket is $100. Lose and the same quality ticket from Ticketmaster $500+

Not necessarily. That $500+ ticket that doesn't end up selling becomes a $100 ticket closer to show time and potentially in a better seat than some of the 10C seating.
What happened to EV Platinum tickets is not going to translate to PJ tickets if they decided to do Platinum. The demand is there. They will sell out in seconds. Not even a question.

Not for all venues. Some markets will have far less demand, especially in this new Covid live music world we now live in.

Agreed. Look at how the charity tickets sold too. Ya they are for charity but they mimic how platinum sales will go with the dynamic pricing they used. Some took awhile and had some price drops but all charity tickets sold as far as I remember. Some even sold for more than the previous price point too moving that price up and up.
Then again covid has messed with the formula and what happened before might not happen now.
