The Official 2023 Tour Rumor Thread

evenflow82

The PJ camp have not been good with communication, even in our very tech dominant world in 2023. It's like wanting to hang out with a really cool person who is flakey.

I don't get booking non-refundable rooms based off of rumors.  I don't think I'd book non-refundable rooms if a tour was announced unless the non-refund applies to 24 hours within the date of the show.

Who the hell would book non-refundable based on rumor? Geez

That’s one of the perks of being really cool, you’re allowed to be flakey. This can also apply to the conditions of really hot, really smart or really strong.
I am none of these things so I can’t get away with it 😉

I have completely got away from non refundable rooms unless it is a few days before the stay when I book it. Refundable rooms cost a bit more, but between COVID and just everyday situations it is worth it to me. I do wonder though if the person was joking.

Why can't the Ten Club announce a tour is happening this summer/Fall and the cities they have nailed down. I understand not being able to release dates at this point. 

Most of us have Children and careers that need some planning in order to attend. 

Since when does ANY BAND care about fans making plans to travel? Honestly that's not their problem or concern

For special events, you got 311 with their cruise, Hootie and DMB with their cancun destination trips.
But for regular shows, if a band is playing throughout the US (as in almost every city with a pro sports team), then they are doing the traveling. But if a band is only doing a handful of dates, or only one show in one metro area of a big state... They have to know that hardcore fans will be traveling.

Does the VIP experience include the dumping of DMB's tour bus shitter tank?

I get the frustration with waiting on tour announcements - I get a huge dopamine hit off the whole cycle of announcements, lotteries, ticket sales, planning, and of course actually going to the shows, and can’t wait for all that to happen - but I don’t think this is quite right. A “flakey” person says they’ll do things and then backs out. Love it or hate it, Pearl Jam not announcing anything at all until everything is locked down is the opposite of that. I think I understand why they do things that way, and it’s specifically so they won’t be like the really-cool-but-flakey person.

While I would LOVE this. It really feels like (to me anyway) that we're never going to get a full scale HUGE tour again. They haven't done more than 20 US dates in a year since 2006.

They played 24 US shows in ‘13, plus 2 Canada

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw DMB and Chicago River Cruise on the same post. lol

You can't help it. You've gotta live your life.And this is coming from someone who's been impacted by people like you my whole life. I'm only 5' 7". 

I do remember this one time, it was my very first trip to the Hollywood Bowl years ago, I had lucked out and scored 3rd row, dead-center seats. This was before they started having a GA/Pit in the Pool Circle. The stage was super low, and the seats went right up to the stage (there was no barrier). I show up thinking I'm sitting pretty. It was awesome. Then, just as the band took the stage, the person sitting directly in front of me shows up. He's 7ft. I literally can't see shit. So, I offer him $100 to switch seats with me, figuring it wasn't going to have any impact on his view. He just turns around and tells me to fuck off. Which, is his right to do. He earned those seats. He can't help it if he's that tall. He's under no obligation to accommodate me. But I still thought he was an asshole for telling me to fuck off. lol

Not sure why I felt the need to tell that story. But it's not like we have much else to talk about here until we get more info.

I think when we get it is when it's nailed down. The downside to a heads up is having to unwind travel plans if there winds up being changes.

travel plans are already being made on speculation.. 

Flights, rental car and hotel booked for Austin, and already planning to be in line early at Franklin BBQ on the 19th!   

this! gonna be first time in Austin... any hotel recs?

My guess is nothing will be announced until the Ohana tickets are sold out....lol

Why would they tease a band tour right before the Ohana announcement? Wouldn't this put a damper on Ohana ticket sales, especially for those dedicated (obsessed) enough to spend a bunch of money to travel to it? If there are shows in the midwest, then why would anyone from the east coast travel to Ohana when they could see the whole band with a shorter plane ride? It doesn't make any sense that they would short circuit Ohana ticket sales and then wait until it sells out to announce the tour.

I'm 6'2, but I like to be in GA.   GA are the best seats in the house.  If you try for seated it's random, could end up behind the pit which isn't great (even at 6'2, once I get past about 20 rows on the floor it becomes hard to see).

I dunno I feel like I have as much right to be up front as shorter people.   Then again if someone 7ft tall was standing in front of me, I'll probably try and shift around so I could see again

An EV show is not a Pearl Jam show. I'm not going to drive 2hrs to Ohana for just Eddie, but I will absolutely fly to Dallas and get a hotel room to see the full band. It's why they cancelled Ohana Encore last year. EV doesn't have nearly the same draw as the full band.

That's actually a pretty good story there and well told might I add.  That is why you should go for the aisle seats so if something like that happens you could maybe slide into the aisle for a view.
