Yeah, it took me a few seconds to remember that they changed their name.

Talk about organizations alienating their fanbase. 

Talk about players bailing on their fans so they could drive tickets up to $150 for bleacher seats so they could 600m contracts instead of 400m and oh BTW fully guaranteed even if they suck.

Is it the 10c organization or is it the band? The band are the players here. Redirect your energy to them. 10c just follows orders. 

I don't really care about baseball but the players are locked out, not on strike. They didn't bail on anything.

Completely crazy not announcing the tour dates. Feel lucky here with the Euro tour. Not sure how they expect people in the US to book off leave from work with that short notice. Wondering what the real reason is behind this delay? Is the band really that disorganised or is one (or more) of the band members being difficult about touring (obviously not EV who appears to have got tired with things and done his own album and tour!). All very odd

At this point its gotta be all music industry related tour contract/marketing holdups.

Sea Hear Now part 2? The festival is ending its early bird pricing on Friday which means the lineup should follow very shortly after that. Which might be around when we get a Pearl Jam announcement…..

Foo Fighters have done about 7 world tours in the past year.. tough to think it’s an industry, marketing, insurance etc issue at this point

was thinking that too, but other than announcement dates potentially lining up, I haven’t heard any rumblings this time around.  Felt like I knew well before the announcement in 2020. 

I’ll go to festival either way, but would be a lot cooler with my favorites there.

No MLB games = Pearl Jam residency at Fenway Park this summer.  Book it.

C'mon it is the ownership that is the problem.  Ask any fan that has been through a rebuild, prices don't go down because payroll goes down.  People love to take it out on the players because there is a good chance that at one point in their lives they wanted to be one so they feel they don't appreciate what they have, no one dreams of being an owner because it is so unattainable.  This lockout is almost all on the owners.

It’s entirely on the owners. They literally locked out their labor force.

Back on topic, I gave up and got a refund for my SD tix. Just too much time and uncertainty if I could even make the rescheduled dates (I live in Chicago). Got the funds back on my credit card today. Seen 60+ shows since '94 but enough is enough.

100% the owners fault my guy

while yes March is still early 2022 I don't think any reasonable person thought it would be into March before an announcement.  

Agreed and that's why it's not the band just being lazy with an announcement. They sent out the update in early November right before Omicron hit and somewhat upended things for two months. Thankfully that has subsided but it had to be a factor with the insurance coverage and commitments needed. They likely had a plan, were thrown a curveball again and had to reassess. The tour is happening in 2022 they just have to figure out when. 

Maybe they should tell their fans that.

Bingo! It’s not that hard. The lack of transparency is alienating a large portion of their fans. It’ll be interesting to see what the demand will be for these makeup dates.

Is there anything official that says when you have to request a refund by for the postponed NA shows?  I looked at my TM email and PJ FAQ and see no deadline.  

If the deadline is 3/2/22 as someone mentioned earlier this could be before the tour announcement.   I would hope any announcement would extend the timeline for requesting refunds. Seems odd that they could change dates and a nice reward for all those waiting people is that they can’t request a refund if the new dates don’t work.

40 new posts and zero new rumours.   Who has two thumbs and feels gutted?  THIS GUY!!!!!

Most solid rumors are Green Day and My Morning Jacket as headliners

The lack of leaks and credible rumors this close to what we think is an imminent announcement is very strange.

Whenever a concert changes dates you can request a refund. Not sure why people are hung up on the current window.

This thread turning into Guardians satire is the epitome of my spring so far.
