The Fresno and Sac shows made absolutely no sense to me when I saw it. If they added Chicago, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle, etc there would be no issues.

while I agree, esp since it now shows that Oak 1 ( Thurs) is impacted by diluted inventory. But Sac and Fresno are Rock towns, and perhaps it also builds the fan base in underutilized areas. Also where would they have played on those off days. Salt lake or NM? While it appears Sac is sell poorly, if you look close they are chipping away at the upper level.. Not sure why they chose to restart the tour in the west.. Im sure venue availability played a huge factor and all the arenas in the west are not hosting any playoff games. I think once CA is over, more east shows will be added.
I wonder if they were just cautious and figured they would stay out west and if they have to reschedule a show due to a positive covid test they will still be in the area.

Agreed. Makes you wonder internally who’s idea it was to play 10 California shows in an 8 month stretch. CA isn’t a bad market for them but certainly nowhere near the level of the East coast.

The scrutiny the California shows are getting is hilarious to me. We've always been more laid back out west and I have a feeling most of the shows will approach being sold out as we get closer to the dates.

Remember all those posts from 2016-2018 (and beyond) about how the west coast never gets love? Was someone listening?
Presidential Advice from President-Elect Mike McCready: "Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?"
PJ's instagram story says "Gear up for Leg 1 of the Pearl Jam 2022 tour with new merch, available at each show."
So, this kind of confirms there will be a Leg 2 in 2022. Time to turn the rumor machine back on for October-December.
September is definitely leg 2
Exactly. You can’t have shows spaced 4 months apart being part of the same leg unless continuous touring.
Since they are off to Europe after the May run of shows, September is definitely the 2nd North American US leg. I'd technically refer to it as the third leg, but that's me being a purist

It’s more a comment on how difficult their tickets are elsewhere than on CA. It’s kinda brutal of them to play one msg show and one other show in the entirety of the eastern HALF of the US with zero hint this is leg 1 and 1a of the giga tour and more east giga shows are on tap later. Pretend you have never had access to an easy PJ arena ticket onsale ever near you and you are now watching the constant upgrade free for all out west.

We truly never have seen anything like the upgrade free for all.
It’s not really free though as nobody is buying the tickets that are upgraded from.

Or possibly leg 3 if you consider Europe to be leg 2.
