    With all of the badmouthing, and bad publicity that the Fresno show is getting, i'm almost hoping they give everyone that enters, a free ticket for the Free Tuesday night show at Fresno!!!

    That’s just how these guys are. In the words of a dear friend after a recent show…that’s why they’re our band. 
    so have they done this before or just wishful thinking?

    To reward the fans that decided to come? It's not those fans' fault no one else bought tickets.

    Clearly PJ should make all the other shows shitty to punish the people who *didn't* come to Fresno.

    Apologies--I don't think my sarcasm came through the way I intended. Just poking some gentle fun at the notion PJ shouldn't play a great (the best show of the tour?) for Fresno because it didn't sell. Basically trying to reinforce your point.....poorly, it seems!

    When was the last time this small of a crowd in a large venue was at a Pearl Jam show? Calgary 2013? I bet that had more attendance than this with the snowstorm. Before that?

    If I still lived in San Jose, this show would be a no brainer.

    People are acting like this is going to be PJs version of Phish playing Dark Side of the Moon in SLC in '98 (the show after Halloween).

    I've looked into flights and the cost is just too much for us right now. We are going to both London shows in July, and are getting ready to throw down the money for plane tickets back from either London or Paris, depending on where we fly back from. We need to figure it out this weekend. We are going to fly to London, watch the 2 shows and then take the channel train to Paris for a few days. Depending on the difference in the cost of flights, we are going to either fly back from Paris, or take the train back to London and then fly back.

    I gotcha - I'm not always great at reading sarcasm on here.

    Back in 2020, I had plans to do Lolla in Paris, then hit the two Amsterdam shows. Two years later, Europe isn't feasible for me, so I get Fresno and OKC. Fair trade, right?
