This tour was originally designed with the home shows having only been two years earlier and with a second leg planned for the fall. Skipping some cities made sense in that context. 

Not slotting them back in now that the tour has been rescheduled makes less sense, but we'll see what the future brings. 

Ya i agree with this i always saw 2020 as a continuation if the 2018 short tour. But now its been 4 years since the 2018 “home shows”. If they do t hit it up on this tour who knows how long before the next- it could be like 8 years now before they do come back (from 2018 until the next tour maybe 4 years from now). Thats too long to skip out on their home town. When the grateful dead was in full tour mode they never skipped oakland/sf because its their home fucking town. Both logically and logistically speaking its the most convenient location for them. It would be a different story if they all didnt live here but hell i just saw stone at easy street records a few weeks ago. Even with traffic the arenas are like a hop skip and jump away from where they all live. I was shocked to see them add fresno sac and some others and not seattle. Its makes no sense from any logical viewpoint- no travel cost and they get to sleep in their beds after the show ends. What more could any aging rock band ask for lol. They can easily finish up the leg right here back home its not like a major detour for them and be done with it

All these complaints about ticket prices (in same cases rightfully so msg & camden) and not a single complaint from Washingtonians about the most tragic thing about this tour- skipping Washington state

when in gods name are the going to announce a show in WA state- you know their home town the place where it all started lol. I still cannot believe 5 shows in cali including fresno of all places (no offense to people that live there) and not a single one in Washington. What did safeco do to offend them during the 2018 home shows? Did they keep some of the charitable proceeds for those shows or not fully cooperate with the agreement. Its the only thing i can think of otherwise it makes no sense to skip Washington completely. Skipping Chicago is also a head scratcher but nowhere near as baffling as skipping seattle. They all live here all eddie has to do is drive like 15-20 minutes from his house in west Seattle to the stadium.

they also got two stops in the shithole called the oakland arena (the place that has no pro team) they must be getting a damn good concessions stand deal and cheap security otherwise theyd be playing in the new warriors arena in Sf. The oakland arena is dying a slow death im sure rhe city is offering bands a rental price they cannot refuse, like the walmart of arenas- the low price rental leader

Did I miss the memo where it is written in stone that they must hit Seattle, Boston, and Chicago on every tour??  People are spoiled as fuck and quickly forget that some of these areas have been visited more than a few times on recent tours vs cities they haven't played in ages. 
Suck it up!

In general a Pearl Jam show is probably going to sell out wherever/whenever they play, but Boston, Chicago and Seattle are historically GREAT markets for them, along with NYC, Philly, etc. I don't think it's an issue of people being spoiled so much as folks knowing that at some point sooner rather than later, they're going to hit those markets.

PJ hasn’t been to Vegas since 2006 and now I can’t find a ticket for less than 350 bucks on Ticketmaster for the long awaited Vegas show. The corporate monster MGM Grand Garden Arena and Ticketmaster have the last laugh unfortunately. (PJ, There are definitely better venues than MGM in Vegas). Wishing you guys the best and glad you are touring at least! - Might have to catch ya on the next one. - JB

The "shithole" is good enough for Sir Paul McCartney who is playing two shows there the weekend before Pearl Jam does.

Climate Pledge??

ddeschler

vedpunk said something similar last year, that they would play climate pledge in Nov 2021.  Maybe he just had the year wrong?

And with the Seattle arena having been closed in 2020, wasn't the plan to hit it when it re-opened?

I bet we get Seattle before December 2023. It would absolutely not surprise me if we get more USA dates next year.

Im sure this has already been asked, but is it possible to transfer tickets to unspecific individual or do they go straight into the ticket pool? Thanks

No. They go back into the pool. Only exceptions are MSG and DEN.

Is it possible to swap tickets meeting someone at the MGM?

You can do whatever you want in person, if you trust who you are dealing with. You just walk in with the person, and then if you screen grab the other person's seats, you can sit there while they sit in your seats. If that is what you mean by swap. 

If you mean sell them, and not enter, then that's a whole other thing you need to figure out, but theoretically it can happen.
