I'm  starting the over/under line on how many complaint threads will get started.

I'm  going with 13.5

I"ll take the under. I say there will be 2-3 threads started on the same topic where 90% of the messages will be nothing but bitching regards of the schedule, timing, etc...

I don’t think there is one.  Some have speculated it will be in the fall but nobody really seems to know.

No announcement but, hey, here's a picture of Jeff playing the bass guitar!

Yeah.  I've only been following since 2010, but has there ever been a time in the last 30 years where the band has been as out of touch with their fan base as they are right now?

I’ve been passionately following this band for 20+ years and this is the most out of touch I have ever felt IMO. I’ve been sitting on tickets to 4 shows for over 2 years now. The no communication is beyond frustrating, it’s almost laughable at this point.

Does MGM have multiple venues because Bruno Mars is playing there on 5/20? I’m too lazy to look.

There has been communication my friend. It's posted under 'news' on the main page. Granted it's not the fully detailed communication and plans we have been wanting, but its not been 'no communication'. We all need to extend grace. It's not like they have had this fucking thing planned out and are withholding it from ticket holders on purpose. I'm sure they are aware people's plans are up in the air, perhaps other considerations take precedence above any of that and that's their choice.

I hate to be positive around here…. But I think they seem to “not care” only because they know the tour is going to be the biggest in the last 20 years and they know they are going to deliver.

They played 68+ shows in both 03 and 06. We’d be lucky they touch half that.

Bruno Mars is at Dolby Live which is a different venue.

Well said. We should all just be thankful this band is still producing music and playing live shows at such a high level after all these years!

we can both be thankful that and still annoyed at the lack of communication. I had to use my flight credit for another trip because PJ couldn't reschedule within the nearly 2 year time frame that westjet allowed me to rebook a trip without losing the credit. and a LOT of people have been in that same boat. this isn't just run of the mill "where's my xmas single" complaining; it's a financial and logistical burden for a lot of people, and it's kinda stressful. there have been several bands that have postponed and announced and postponed and reannounced in this same time frame. Sure, postponing more than once; that's not ideal, but they still easily could have announced these shows already. they are clearly already booked. anything within the next 6 months would have to be. 

are they waiting for some stupid anniversary of when they were initially postponed? what was that? march 12th? 15th? can't recall.

Agree. It’s been way too long to be understandable without another update or reason for the further delay.

The new Andrew Watt produced PJ album is almost finished.  Tour dates will soon follow.

So they're going to announce a tour for a new album when they haven't even toured for Gigaton yet?

Outside of a loyal 10c they are largely irrelevant if we are being honest. Getting people to want to go to the shows is pretty hard. They don't push radio songs, rarely tour, and avoid the spotlight. Not sure they have another big hyped tour again..

Which is why alienating 10c doesn't make sense at this point.

First if week of March down. 3 more weeks until mid 2022!

It was March 9, 2020.  Two days before Rudy Golbert.
