    Doing the whole May tour with my brother.  Yesterday, my signifcant other asked me which show I'm most excited about.  Immediately, without hesitation, I said Fresno.  Her response..."Fresno?! Why?"  #IYKYN

    No need for anyone to get to arena early. I’ve already called shotgun on the rail between Ed and Jeff. Just wanted to save you all some time. 🤣🤣🤣
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    I'm staying at Hilton one mile away. Guessing it is safe enough to walk back after show? Wouldn't want to do that in LA that's for sure..

    I'm staying at the Holiday Inn and it's a little less then a mile away and I HOPE to be able to walk it too. Good question: Is it a safe walk?

    Also staying about a mile away from The Forum and I'll be walking, along with others.

    Maybe we're seeing the beginning of Pearl Jam not being able to fill out arena's?

    Remember, Neil Y. told them this would eventually happen...

    We're seeing too many California shows and too short notice.

    If they would’ve gone with Portland & Spokane instead of Sac & Fresno, I highly doubt we would we would be seeing all this availability we’re seeing now.

    Wait in line for merch? Not in Fresno. You'll have your own line.

    I’m guessing there will be a group of people walking in our direction so thinking we should be ok.

    Yes I’m sure there are some like me who will not risk losing thousands on travel costs for shows that can be canceled with a symptomless positive test result hours before a show. 

    Let them not be able to sell out 9 shows in the Boston to DC corridor first, then they can worry about not selling out arenas.

    I think this is key to the Sacramento/Fresno not selling as well as Southern California, Oakland or Vegas. 

    No offense to those cities but if I were traveling and the show got cancelled last minute you could still make something out of the trip.

    If the show gets cancelled last minute I will personally take all 10C takers on a tour of Sacramento and the surrounding areas that will leave you wondering why you haven't sold your home and moved here already....Depending on the numbers I will book a brew bike(s) to begin the tour around downtown-that should socially lubricate each and every one of us.  I am telling you...you will never speak ill of this lovely burg again once the tour is completed.....

    I live in Fresno. You'll be ok to walk down Shaw Ave. I'm sure there will be a lot of people walking around. It's a busy street, lots of businesses on both sides on the road on route to your hotel. Lots of fast food, restaurants, stores, etc

    University Inn: come for the proximity; stay for the black mold. 
  • OfThePearlOfThePearl Posts: 799
    I have both University Inn and Holiday Inn Express, also on Shaw about a mile away. Have to decide which to cancel the day before.
    I just wish I knew if I can tolerate University Inn. Many disgusting reviews, but also quite a few that say 1 night for a show is "ok".

    I don't care if its run down, dingy and the shower barely works. But I do need a clean bed and no bugs crawling on me or my stuff.

    We post and comment but it’s impossible to know the story behind the story. I have a relative easy job, but it’s one that requires almost daily babysitting, and I’d HATE to take that laptop w me to LA ;)  It’s nearly impossible for me to take a full week off, even three days off could be a headache. So id be flying cross country, getting in and out quick. Sure I could make a little something out of it, but not for too long. Not the best of investments.

    I’m flying in for the two Oakland shows and don’t want to stay around two extra days for Fresno.  If I lived in the area I’d definitely go.  I bought tickets over a year ago for both Amsterdam shows because I was unable to get tickets in the US when they went on sale in 2020. No luck trying to sell those either.
