    Looking at what's still available for this show, I am really considering making the drive up from LA for this show.. Worth it? 
    It’s Pearl Jam. It’s always worth it. 

    And I’m speaking from experience. We usually have to drive to La or San Fran for a show. And will be driving to Sacramento. It’s fucking Pearl Jam. Hope that helps your decision. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
    True, that is worth it. Nothing wrong with another show added to the list. Just the drive up and back is annoying alone. LOL
    Do it! I’m landing at LAX at 11pm, renting a car, and hitting the road solo straight to Fresno. Coffee before lining up for merch.
    I could leave later, since I got all the merch I need from the LA shows.. Unless the Fresno shirt is better than what they had for LA.
    Fresno T is a must have!!

    Need your thoughts. I am buying into this Fresno hype and jonesing for a show. Flights from my area (Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham) to Fresno are stupid expensive so I am trying to get creative. This is where I am at and am I nuts for this plan?

    Atlanta to Vegas on frontier Sunday pm( I absolutely hate them) 131$
    Rental Car from Vegas to Fresno, 110$. Puts me on a six hour drive day of show
    Day after Fresno to Vegas 34$ on frontier
    Vegas to Atlanta direct delta 309$.

    Looking at 600$ for travel. Throw in two nights hotel and a concert ticket...900$?

    Does this seem like a legit idea or plan? I am trying to justify it.
    PS if you have any other suggestions, let me know
    Just do it!!!! If the show sucks i lll buy you a beer at the next show we are at together.   
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    The drop off fee on that rental car is probably going to be brutal.  I'd fly into LA or Sacramento.  Much better drive than across the desert.

    What do you guys think the GA line will be like for Fresno considering it's going to be 100 degrees out? think people will line up super early?

    Book it.

    It might just be all acoustic.  Benny 2 in the making.  No amps needed for so few fans.  And free beer!

    Just wish I could book it too.

    As dumb is this may sound I am super disappointed in this town of hillbillies. You think a town that has nothing going on ever, would be hungry for a band like Pearl Jam and to see the ticket sales the way they are, it’s a shame. I hope those who come, bring it. I know the band will. Can’t wait to see you all there. LFG!!!!!! 
    Fresno is not PJs typical demographic. Ain’t no hills like another said.

    I think people that showed up after 9am got rail in PHX. I think it will be even easier for Fresno.

    Actually I grew up in the meth infested hills around Fresno. And with the fires and meth war ragin a lot of those hillbillies have migrated to Fresno so I will stand by my initial assessment of the shit hole town. 

    Ex corrupt racist Police Chief turned Mayor Dyer is King Hillbilly.

     Fresno still doesn’t have one legal
    walk in dispensary though they have been approved for 14 for two years. Even Bakersfield, Tulare, Lemoore, Hanford and numerous other towns do. Plenty of bars and “massage” parlors though. 

    Fresno is the shit covered butthole of California.

    Sacramento is the easier trip to swing for me but that isn't Fresno. Ugh. Any of you know Sacramento? Is staying five or six blocks from the arena safe to walk?

    Yes! Coming from North Carolina. I was almost on the rail at the 2016 Jacksonville show and started lining up around 11 am... curious how the Fresno line will be! Don't want to get a heat stroke lol

    Prices dropped, I couldn't resist anymore. Going to be an interesting drive up and back, but I am IN!
