Announcing Eddie Vedder the Earthlings Tour 2022

RatherStarved

I’ve entered for NYC for now as it would be a really great experience on the off chance I am selected.

The price is a bit high, but really, my concern is more that it’s a little insulting as a holder of multiple postponed PJ show tickets that this new tour will take place before it.  I was okay with SHN and Ohana doing so because those were outdoors but now that there are new indoor shows it’s borderline offensive.  

So I might cancel my entry and/or request some PJNA refunds.  Not that it won’t sell out anyway.  

End of rant.  I do love the music.

Totally agree with your rant.  Eddie is obviously comfortable playing indoor shows as early as February, so why isn't that when the cancelled PJ North America shows started to get rescheduled?  I would have thought that the postponed shows would receive the highest priority to be rescheduled and played, and then the EV solo shows could be scheduled after that was figured out.

I do not think people understand the level of scheduling that goes on with tours and booking shows. As was mentioned earlier, with a band like this (made up of folks with other bands an calendars that are booked years in advance, such as Chad with RHCP) Feb. may have been the only time. With PJ, they are fighting with every other artist, sports team, event, on navigating the schedules of arenas. 

My oldest brother was a booking agent for well over a decade and he would start booking 9-12 months in advance for his bands. Its extremely challenging. Add in Covid and every musical act wanting to attempt to recoup lost funds over the past year and a half, two years, the scheduling has to be very difficult.

I totally get it about schedules of venues, other band members, etc.  I also understand how far in advance some of these tours need to be booked.  That being said though, it seems odd that the EV Earthling shows were able to be scheduled relatively quickly and will be played in two months from announcement while we have to wait an additional three months after that for the PJ shows that were postponed from 2020.  I would have thought rescheduling the postponed PJ shows would be the priority.....maybe it was, but they were just able to find a window in February where all the scheduling came together for the players and the venues for the Earthling tour so they booked it.  Who knows?

It may have something to do with the places Ed is playing are more open, as they are specific to these types of shows. Pearl Jam is rescheduling around the NBA and NHL, and possibly things like NCAA tournaments and all other sorts of stuff. Definitely more things to work around there.

Actually it's not odd at all. PJ is literally a TOUR. It's a machine with more people, more dates, and more consequences if Covid is still unpredictable and they absolutely do NOT want to re-book it ever again.  So they HAVE to plan it further out into 2022 in hopes that by then somehow the US (or all of N. America if there are Canadian dates) had figured out how to safely have sold out arena-size shows.

This Earthlings tour is a smaller machine, way fewer dates, smaller venues.  IF heaven forbid they have to cancel/postpone because whatever variant pops up in Feb pops up, it is fewer shows, smaller venues, fewer tix, all of us who bought knew we were buying tix during Covid so agreed as we signed up to follow whatever Covid rules are in place locally at the time, AND this is the 1st time we're buying for this, it's not like if it gets postponed it'll be the THIRD TIME.

All of those reasons add up to WAY MORE CAUTION for re-booking the PJ tour and also a need for way more dates & planning.

And lastly add in the point already made, that many members of the Earthlings are in other projects that will probably also be touring later in 2022, so early when people are still afraid of the unpredictable was probably - from a group scheduling POV - the only time to do it in 2022.

COVID vaccination required for entry? 

Or negative test, right?  Either way, hard pass.  Seeing Ed live in a newly restored 1,200 person venue that I've never been to in San Diego made me at least think about it...but I'd only pay that money for Pearl Jam.  This is a tour for the die hard Ed fans who have loads of cash.  Maybe if the first two singles resonated with me I'd give it a second thought...but I'll wait for the LA and SD dates.

The ticket price, while pretty high, is not out of line with other shows that are out there and is not primarily the reason I changed my mind about going. I live 4.5hours away from Chicago, so being a midweek show, we would have to take the day of the show and the next day off. Easy for me, but not so much for my wife who is a teacher. Add in the cost of a hotel in Chicago and the questionable driving weather to get up to Chicago in February, and it became an easier decision to cancel my request.

I requested a couple Seattle tickets and wanted the balcony.  When I check "my requests" nothing is there.  Can anyone comment on this?  Is it just a computer glitch?

I had no problems doing the process on an Android phone.  Note:  this is not an endorsement of Android.  I find it is better for some things and iOS is better for others.

People having problems logging in, I switched from Chrome to Safari and was able to get there. $200 for one ticket though... I'm a no-go. Sorry Ed and Ten Club, I'm not wealthy folk.

Use a different browser than the one you started with, that's all I can suggest

Was anyone able to get around the errors it was giving. I tried multiple times. I was able to login a couple times but always gave an error at check out. Tried multiple browsers and two different laptops

$200+ per ticket and get a website that works in various browsers?

Anyone know if there's an odds page for these shows?

I never thought I would be on the fence to see Ed when he comes to Chicago. But there's 3 big undesirables here for me. A Wednesday night show, dead of winter in downtown Chicago, and then the price was unexpected. The price is the least of my 3 concerns actually. I'm going in the lottery, but I'm not sure I'll be too disappointed if I lose.
