    Almost did University Inn too, then switched to Hilton. I'd rather be a littler further away and pay a bit more than be in a sketchy place.

    I'll be snug in my bedbug-infested bed while you all are still waiting on an Uber. Suckers!

    Might not be a long wait with only about 6,000 fans there>LOL

    I know I'd like to stay within walking distance too. Unless, the place is a real piece of shit!

    No reason to ever play that song unless they’re doing Riot Act in full.

    Sadly, I live in Fresno. It is the asshole of California and if you been to California lately, that’s saying a lot. Glad I only have to drive 15 mins to the show instead of 3-4 hours. Everything about Fresno fucking sucks. I hope for a great show though. My thought was that Ed could get some surfing in at the Surf Ranch in Lemoore. That place is hella sick. Oakland is three hours from Fresno. Yosemite is an epic place but always crowded. There are some epic spots without the crowds in these mountains. Yes, I don’t understand why the band would come here again after the first and only time in 2000. Listen to that show. Ed comments how pathetic the crowd in Fresno is. But I’m not going to complain. I get to see my favorite band of all time and don’t have to travel. Fuck yea. I’m ready. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    You might get multiple STDs from sheets at the University Inn. That place is a dumpster fire with beds.

    That would be really funny if they are only playing Fresno so Ed can surf with Kelly Slater.

  • I think it goes beyond Fresno to be honest.  If you look at the entire May leg, has there ever been a run of shows with this many really good seats available?

    You can go on TM right and grab an excellent face value ticket for any of the shows in May

    I really think it’s more related to the 7 weeks of notice coupled with an increasingly difficult financial state for many people as opposed to Fresno just being a bad decision 
    Sounds like the 9 most special shows ever are coming.  The Special Leg.
