    I'm torn between thinking what the Foo are doing is cool and still somehow being annoyed every time I see Dave Grohl. 
    annoyed or envious?
    Totally annoyed. The guy is everywhere all the time. Good for him but man he just bugs me. 
    I could really do without ever seeing him in a music doc again.  Doesn't matter what band there he is saying the exact same thing he said in the last.

    I don’t get why people still have airline vouchers. It’s been almost 2 years. The better choice would have been refund or use it on another trip. 

    Pretty sure the airlines are required to give refunds for those early 2020 dates. If you got talked into a voucher and waived the right to refund well time to take a trip somewhere. I wouldn’t wait for PJ.
    not everyone can afford to travel just whenever they want. my wife agreed to do another trip to see PJ in a city we've never been to, and we're committed to seeing it through. 

    we weren't given the option to refund. it was use it by Dec 31/21 or lose it completely. we didn't get talked into anything. my wife was on the phone with them several times and spoke to several different people: no refunds. probably because we used our Avion points. 
    Ah yes using points would throw a wrench in any sort of refund. Well, at least you’re not out any actual dollars. 

    I def understand your circumstance and hope you get to use the flight for PJ or something else fun. So many people here throw down for travel I (mistakenly!) didn’t even think of the person making a one time special trip splurge.

    DOT does have a law saying if the airline cancels the flight, you are entitled to a refund in the original form of payment. They are apparently cracking down on the airlines not abiding. May be something to look in to.

    The rules in Canada are a bit different.  I don’t know all the ins and outs but I know that.  
    I believe the rules here were a little more generous. I booked a return flight with Air Canada from Ft Lauderdale to Toronto but obviously never showed up for it. When the tour was cancelled I phoned Amex travel (since I booked with them) and asked whether I’d be better off asking for a voucher or just not doing anything until the dust settled. I decided to do nothing as I used a $200 travel credit to book so was only out $196 while others has it far worse. When the airlines started discussing refunds last year it didn’t seem I qualified so didn’t think twice as technically I never showed up for the flight. However this year when Air Canada announced refunds I phoned Amex travel and they requested a refund which was posted to my card in full.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    When they announced Ohana and stated 2020 shows would be scheduled for spring of 2022 they probably already had holds in place.

    I totally respect the band’s issue with Covid safety (if that is why there is no announcement), but the bottom line is Covid is going nowhere, although it is close to becoming endemic.  I was fortunately at Ohana both weekends and people were packed in as usual.  I didn’t hear of any “outbreaks” so I think the vaccine / testing policy worked well (plus being outdoors of course). 

    The problem I have is that I have tickets for a bunch of shows that I would like to still attend, but it does help to know when those shows will be so I can plan life around them.  If there will be no spring tour then say so.  That’s fine – every other band is touring and I can make plans to see plenty of other bands I like.  I think an update of some sort given tickets have been sold for future dates is not an unreasonable request. 


    It's very likely I caught covid from a vax'd person at Ohana (since most are vax'd) so I don't really think the vax/testing policy 'worked' and is anything more than another layer of 'liability insurance.'  That being said, I was just fine (like a weird cold) and am actually glad I got it and built up those natural antibodies.  I was just was really tired for a while and couldn't smell at all, and my taste was hardly there either.  I'd do it all over again tomorrow if they announced the new dates!

    There’s some meaning - approximate date - but agree it can’t be taken at face value as the exact date because if it could then they would be in many places at once.

    So,

    1) You don't know where you caught COVID unless (maybe, if) the county notified you that you had been exposed. I'm going to guess that you have not enabled exposure notifications on your phone.

    2) Seeing as how, thus far, you're the only person I've seen report on here that they attended Ohana and later tested positive, I'd say that the vaccine/ testing policy worked pretty damn well. Did you not hear what happened last year at Sturgis?

    3) The state would not have reopened, and PJ would not be touring, without vaccines (I don't speak for the band, but I feel pretty comfortable assuming this)

    4) While the viral load in vaccinated people is much higher with delta than with the wild variant, vaccinated people are less likely to become infected in the first place.

    5) You do you, but given the standing advice that people who have had COVID get vaccinated anyway, because that natural immunity wanes pretty quickly, I think that it's dangerous to assume that you're now free and clear.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Ed said at Ohana they will play the postponed shows, period. The actual dates, we don't know yet, but logic says they are booked for spring like they announce this summer.  Europe 2022 dates are already booked. Not sure why people are confused. Will there be more shows, who knows. But there is a tour on the books for 2022.

    who announced they are booked for spring? I thought they only said they were working on rescheduling them. 

    and I think all of this speculation is due not to "confusion", but to wanting to know if we'll be able to use our travel vouchers or not. that's it.

    I'm not interested in notifications because I don't care where I caught it.  People catch colds and will continue to until the end of time.  Nobody is free and clear from any risks in life.  People need to get/stay healthy to boost their immune system and move on with life and live music!

    Feels like we are going in circles here.

    There was an email sent out on July 19th within the 10C presale for Encore. This is what they said.

    "Pearl Jam's 2020 North American tour dates are expected to be rescheduled for early 2022, and all tickets will be honored for the new show dates. Refunds for the 2020 North America tour are available at your point of purchase. Stay tuned to pearljam.com for the latest information"

    On top of this Quebec City Videotron Centre top guy Martin Tremblay said back on June 1st that they are currently working on the dates and he expects them to be February and March. He also said of the 21K seats for the arena 10K are still sold. 


    This is really all we have aside from TM putting the dates as TBD and in the March time frame.

    It was mentioned pages ago, but the Gigaton tour wasn’t announced until mid-January 2020.  It sucks regarding flight vouchers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a similar timeframe if the shows are to be spring 2022.
    In one of the Instagram live videos or podcasts Ament did when his solo record came out in august he specifically mentioned that they hoped by March everything would be a go. 

    I remember the 2006 and 2010 spring tours that started in May weren’t announced until mid-March.  It’s not unprecedented that they announce shows 6-8 weeks prior to the first date of the tour.  It sucks for trying to plan travel but I’m assuming they’ll be playing shows in 2022 during a similar timeframe that the 2020 tour was initially scheduled and I’m not getting too excited about the silence when we could still be a couple months out from an announcement.

    The difference is what has happened between 1/2020 and now. If they think they can announce a post Covid tour 6 weeks before they start playing shows and sell them all out or even come close I think they’re mistaken.

    I totally respect the band’s issue with Covid safety (if that is why there is no announcement), but the bottom line is Covid is going nowhere, although it is close to becoming endemic.  I was fortunately at Ohana both weekends and people were packed in as usual.  I didn’t hear of any “outbreaks” so I think the vaccine / testing policy worked well (plus being outdoors of course). 

    The problem I have is that I have tickets for a bunch of shows that I would like to still attend, but it does help to know when those shows will be so I can plan life around them.  If there will be no spring tour then say so.  That’s fine – every other band is touring and I can make plans to see plenty of other bands I like.  I think an update of some sort given tickets have been sold for future dates is not an unreasonable request. 


    It's very likely I caught covid from a vax'd person at Ohana (since most are vax'd) so I don't really think the vax/testing policy 'worked' and is anything more than another layer of 'liability insurance.'  That being said, I was just fine (like a weird cold) and am actually glad I got it and built up those natural antibodies.  I was just was really tired for a while and couldn't smell at all, and my taste was hardly there either.  I'd do it all over again tomorrow if they announced the new dates! 

    So,

    1) You don't know where you caught COVID unless (maybe, if) the county notified you that you had been exposed. I'm going to guess that you have not enabled exposure notifications on your phone.

    2) Seeing as how, thus far, you're the only person I've seen report on here that they attended Ohana and later tested positive, I'd say that the vaccine/ testing policy worked pretty damn well. Did you not hear what happened last year at Sturgis?

    3) The state would not have reopened, and PJ would not be touring, without vaccines (I don't speak for the band, but I feel pretty comfortable assuming this)

    4) While the viral load in vaccinated people is much higher with delta than with the wild variant, vaccinated people are less likely to become infected in the first place.

    5) You do you, but given the standing advice that people who have had COVID get vaccinated anyway, because that natural immunity wanes pretty quickly, I think that it's dangerous to assume that you're now free and clear.
    I'm not interested in notifications because I don't care where I caught it.  People catch colds and will continue to until the end of time.  Nobody is free and clear from any risks in life.  People need to get/stay healthy to boost their immune system and move on with life and live music!

    People don't die from colds.
    Vaccines boost the immune system and allow people to stay healthy.
    Dead people don't buy concert tickets.
    Staying healthy when one is immuno-compromised is much harder than it is for the average person. Taking care of those who need our help and protection is why we even live together in social groups in the first place -- strength in numbers and all that.

    You know, my apologies to everyone reading this thread. I'm so tired of having these arguments about basic science and public health policy. For what it's worth, Spartanacus and I both are in San Diego county. I just received the weekly county COVID update: 29 new deaths reported, one of whom was vaccinated, the rest unvaccinated. 81.5% of county residents over 12 are fully vaccinated and over 90% are at least partially vaccinated. Those are the facts.

    I am ready for live music to return. But I lost patience with the "If you're scared, just stay home while I refuse to take precautions!" crowd a while ago -- around the time when it had been a year since I had seen my children, thanks to COVID.

    I'll see myself out. And I'll wait for the email announcing tour dates instead of checking in here. I'm confident that the band will do what it wants to do, on its timeline, as that is how they have operated for the past 20+ years.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    So in a county of over 3 million, 1 vaxxed person died over the course of a week? Sounds like a good thing, no?

    I’m guessing we’ll hear about the tour after the new year.

    This is starting to look like the Take 1 thread. Sea shut down another thread too. Let’s just stick to rumors please and not bash each other over covid opinions. I got covid from the SHN show, but I’m in no place to dictate a covid opinion on a PJ forum. Seems like we’re all antsy and I’m sure the info has been passed on to PJ management 😂

    That said…

    Anymore info on the Bruce tour rumored to be released tomorrow? If he’s playing indoor shows in March, maybe we can check off some open dates to similar arenas (i.e. MSG).

    March 7th-12th is open for MSG. It would be awesome if that was filled with PJ and Bruce.

    Exactly, so if he’s 2 shows let’s say on the 7th and 8th. PJ could be the 10th and 11th

    The difference is what has happened between 1/2020 and now. If they think they can announce a post Covid tour 6 weeks before they start playing shows and sell them all out or even come close I think they’re mistaken. 
    I’m going to go out on a limb and assume sell outs or ticket sales in general aren’t a big concern for them at the moment.

    Yea when you have a merch  like PJ , you don’t even need to tour.
