    It just amazes me the availability of tickets in California - Fresno especially.  PJ should have played the East coast and saved the real fans the hassle and cost of flying.  $850 flight alone.
    My point on this comment was there isn’t a ticket to found outside of California which you’d think would be sellouts given the population.  I mean Nashville is sold out.

    Um, I think it was a bunch of “real fans” from the East & Central regions giving up their tickets for other newly added shows that caused all this availability.

    My wife and I are staying in Best Western. About 2 miles from the arena. We are flying into LA next Friday for a fun weekend there, then we are renting a car and driving to Fresno on Sunday evening. Then back to LA to fly home Tuesday night. Should be a fun mini vacation!

    The concept of "real fans" is dumb but what newly added shows are these that people gave up their California tickets for? The two in California or the one in Nevada?

    Fresno has the excuse of not everyone knowing it is the American Paris. Los Angeles, meanwhile, has no such excuse. A Friday night show in one of the biggest cities in the country being this undersold day of is an embarrassment. 

    EDIT: I guess most of it is fan 2 fan, which isn't that unusual given there are always tickets on stubhub day of. Carry on.

    I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say, this will be the last time to ever see Pearl Jam in Fresno. All hail the lucky ones, those who get to leave and never come back. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Don’t take my comment literally.  I’m just pissed I reacted so impulsively buying what I thought were relatively cheap premium tickets thinking I’d have no problem reselling if I couldn’t go or wanted to upgrade and now I’m stuck with $450 of tickets I can’t even discount to cut my loss because of Ticketmaster’s fucked up system.  Was going to go from Oakland to Fresno but don’t want to stay in the area for the extra two days in between.

    Tough break, I’d be super frustrated also, but TM is not the only party at fault here making $ on this system.

    FYI, I wasn’t the one calling people “real fans”, I was being sarcastic to the person who had said it. Im sure the Camden, Vegas, B&B festival shows definitely made some folks rework their tour plans but I also think the higher cost for hotels & airfare has contributed to people giving up their tickets.

    Fresno is the new home of Pearl Jam and everyone just needs to accept that.

    They should take that picture when all the smoke from the summer destruction of our beautiful forests comes into the valley like thick coastal fog mixed with meth dust and gun shot residue. Fres-Hell- No

    I wonder if PJ is doing a corporate event at Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch one of the off days before Fresno and that's why ths schedule is odd.

    Fresno is Chinese for Hell on Earth. The weather fits the name. 

    Seriously, the wife and I were going to get to venue super early for GA and now I’m like the rail isn’t worth heat stroke. 

    Fresno sucks!

    Hear hear!

    Fresno has no natural reason for existing. Someone diverted water supplies to this dusty area to now grow nuts of all things and here we are. There are no trees. The sun beats down all day. Great for walnuts bad for humans.

    And those nuts they grow use so much water. I heard a pound of almonds takes 1900 gallons of water to grow. Good thing water is plentiful in the desert or we would truly be fucked. Lol

    That spike on May 16 is projected to occur as a result of the scorching set Pearl Jam will play.  Nothing but full albums and rarities.  And "Even Flow," of course.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
