Costco had a couple of sales on $500 SW gift cards for $430, limit of 5 per member per sale. I bought 10 and booked all my domestic flights to lock in the rates. No change fees if the announced dates wind up being different 

I've never flown Southwest. I've always been afraid. The last 20 years, I will only book a flight if I can get aisle seat exit row, or first class. And from what I understand, SW doesn't let you pick your seats, or the way you can seems confusing for a newbie.

I'll  chime in on this too... I fly SW almost exclusively. It is always the less expensive domestic option for me and I always end up in a window or aisle seat in the first 10 rows. Kind of like with my PJ reserved seats.
Not hard to do without paying for the early bird option.

I saw that ancient phone picture and thought it was an album cover for a second 😆 🤣 That's looks like the phone this guy I liked had in middle school in the corvette his parents gave him 

I thought it was a nod to Michael Douglas in Wallstreet or Paul E Dangerously the wrestling manager.

I might have a technical training class in Vegas when those shows take place .. nothing better than company paying for flights, hotels, meals etc and see a couple of shows while there.

Nothing is official until it's official, but the sources have been correct thus far on 2024 shows.

You can't be sure until it is officially announced. But if you really want to know, invest a few hours. Read this thread from the beginning. You will get a good sense of what is frivolous, what is clueless, and what is very likely true and reliable. Then you can decide for yourself what to believe to help you make decisions.

Well well well....MMJ and PJ same day? I'm only a drive away so wouldn't need to stay the night. Any thoughts on Bottlerock experiences? Worth it? My wife would like to see the other headliner Mana and MMJ. 

Have you hear Maná?
Is a mexican band... well, please give it a try and tell us your experience please 

Maná and PJ is a dream show....but I will be in Costa Rica that week.

So now the topic will veer off from Southwest Airlines to ECW and wrestling talk. 

Lost In Ohio

In a sense, some of us should be lucky Indy got postponed.

August - Missoula - Grizzly Stadium
August 29 & 31 - Chicago - Wrigley
September 3 & 4 - NYC - MSG
September 7 & 9 - Philadelphia - Wells Fargo
September 12 - Baltimore - CFG Bank Arena

That ...would suck. It's essentially Home/Away with NYC, Philly and the 2020 show thrown in. Take out Baltimore and you get:

August - Missoula - Grizzly Stadium
August 29 & 31 - Chicago - Wrigley
September 3 & 4 - NYC - MSG
September 7 & 9 - Philadelphia - Wells Fargo
September 15 & 17- Boston - Fenway

But it's the new format. Two shows in major cities and "we know you'll fly to see us."

A lot of artists are starting to take this route nowadays. 

Coldplay just does a some cities but multiple dates in them.

iOnlyownMymind

A large part of traveling to shows for me is seeing them in different venues and places and experiencing those cities that I otherwise wouldn't be going out of my way to travel to.  I will be less excited if the trend continues and I've checked the interesting (to me) places off of the list.

Agree. I usually find SW around half the cost of other airlines when I plan the annual family vacay. And then on top of that they don't charge for bags.
The open seating thing while a bit of a pain is generally no big deal.

I can't grasp the open seating. I'm sure they have a good reason but I can't think what it is. 

I'm actually a proponent of "one seat, one carry on slot" that is right above your fucking seat. These assholes that have multiple bags that forces me to walk ten feet down the aisle to store my bag pisses me off. I don't understand the lack of discipline there either.

I believe the open seating is the fastest way to board the plane so it allows them to have more time in the air making money and less on the ground burning money.  Ironically despite being the fastest it is the least liked process by customers.

I just don’t understand playing Wrigley again when you were just in Chicago. Those shows could be used in Michigan and Ohio, with people from Chicago traveling to those areas. Fenway I get, it’s been 5-6 years since Boston had a show and you’re picking a big venue….still wish it was TD. Boston arena show is on my bucket list. 

Philly is understandable since you only played one show, in Camden, 2 years ago (from the rumored ‘24 date). MSG is the same idea, one show, two years ago in the biggest metro area in the country. 

I know 2023 was short but I’m just happy they got to Minny and Texas…with Indy in the original plans. Hoping they draw the straight line a little more east in 2025. Michigan - Ohio - Carolinas - Georgia - Florida. 

Banff is on my list, and will be waiting for a Calgary show to make it happen.

Unsolicited personal recommendation: Don't wait. Book it and make it happen! Banff is beautiful!

I always wonder if Chicago is a result of the survey we took years ago….”how far have you traveled to see a show?”.  Maybe??? It is kinda in the middle of everything (US) . We’ve been to Wrigley every time and indoors last year for both shows….we just keep staying in different parts since the place is so big!

As a Michigander, i wholeheartedly agree! But, Chicago is a much easier city to travel to and stay in, plus it’s Ed’s hometown. And of course playing Wrigley instead of Comerica Park or Little Caesars Arena is a no-brainer. Hope they get to LCA someday though.

Just booked everything but flights and a few activities for an 18 day trip in New Zealand and Australia.  Everything refundable though except a couple activities.  May try skydiving for the first time in Queenstown, NZ.   See one show in Auckland, Sydney, and Melbourne.  

Skydiving is fun, done several tandem jumps.

Serious question...so as I've gotten older, I have definitely experienced an enhanced fear of heights.  However, I have a medical condition considered at this point in time "terminal" so I want to get out of my comfort zone and do as much as possible...I have considered sky diving but not sure.  What's it like and did you feel safe?

Arranged flight to Seattle this afternoon; my daughter and I had already booked flights to Alaska for our yearly "escape the Phoenix hell" trip, so I tacked on a few days to catch the shows. 🤞🤞

Sort out your itinerary way ahead of time - Banff is bonkers these days. Lots of places require advance booking (Lake Louise, Moraine lake, etc.).  Try the gondola, canoeing, backpacking, hot springs. 

On our summer road trip this past year, my daughter and I stayed in Invermere, 2hrs away, but the drive was beautiful.

Same. I’ve seen them in every city on the upcoming rumored dates other than Portland.
