What is going on here?

pjfan98

Ok it’s now March 
a tour announcement on the rescheduled shows was supposed to happen at the beginning of the new year.  Please let us know what’s up.  Most of us have jobs and families now and need to make the proper arrangements to attend shows like these. Enough already guys

You could just….not go to a show.

Not "at the beginning"...just "early"

Look on the bright side. Everyday they do not announce the tour we are one day closer to the day of the announcement of the tour!

Dimi said the announcement will happen “very very soon” so hopefully we’re on the home stretch. 

“they said early 2022 will anoounce may NA tour,,thats exactly gonna happen very very soon”

Also replied with “yes” on a post asking if we get an announcement this week.

There are going to be shows in May, and the dates will be announced whenever the band feels is the right time, with no regard to fans' needs for scheduling/travel. There are a bunch of possible reasons to wait, none of which we are privy to, and none of which will be addressed. It's just the way it is. Pay your dues, buy your tickets, make it work.

Always put your family first.  It's only a concert.

Dear, dear, dear David, I was speaking of your tremendous heart earlier today.  God bless you.  I hope this finds you, Deb and the boys well.  And I hear your message.

"What comes before anything? What have we always said is the most important thing?"

"Breakfast."

"Family."

"Family, right. I thought you meant of the things you eat."

I like concerts more than I like my family.

but yes - the above statement is 100% correct. I've been able to prioritize so much better lately, and concerts have taken a backseat.

Some of my family I would gladly take to a Pearl Jam concert. Then rest I hope to have a Pearl Jam concert to use as an excuse the next time they want to have a family gathering.

Why are people being snippy to the OP?

Can you really not empathize with their frustration?  They were even polite and said please!

Reminding them that family comes first, it's only a show, YOU'RE NOT IN UKRAINE???

Good grief.

I didn't mean to be snippy. I understand and sympathize with the frustration. However, we are just ticket holders - all we can do is sit tight and wait. I'm not happy about it, but it is the reality of our situation.

Might be that there's a gigantic thread on the Porch already where you can go to air your frustration? This place isn't into repeat threads!

the 1998 tour was awesome but only because i hadn't seen them play 3 hour shows yet....

So now there’s an announcement that there will be an announcement?  Why not just make the announcement. Are you trying to build anticipation?  Two years anticipating is not enough.   Geeze…..

The announcement is coming when it was scheduled to come anyways. It is not like the announcement in the newsletter delayed anything. It just gave us a heads up it is coming. We would of been bitching if they said nothing in the newsletter too. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. Now if you want to complain that the announcement is coming March 14 at the earliest when we thought it was going to be early 2022 sure I can jump on board with that.

I think they did it because fans have come to expect a heads up before an announcement.  If for nothing else, to make sure their memberships are up to date.

Tickets are already paid for so membership shouldn't matter.

There are rumored new shows added for the spring… such as Las Vegas.  You would have to be current with your membership to get tickets.

I’m with you, OP. They mention a lot how they know they have a traveling fan base then they’re going to give us 6 weeks to plan for shows while gas prices are at an all time high. Annoying to say the least.

My flights I am pricing are crazy at the moment. Not sure if I should be patient and see if it drops or just bite the bullet since people are going to be filling up the planes I am going on and the price will only rise.

ComeToTX

They must be confident that mostly locals can fill these arenas. I’m skeptical.
