I’m going to take a look at the Tool tickets for Kelowna and see if I can grab a few. They were outlandish when I saw the announcement0

and add Victoria for a Fan Club acoustic show!
Also, to be unbiased I would add Halifax onto the list. St John's on the edge of Canada. It's a long way to go without doing another show in Atlantic Canada.
I think feasibly I'd do:
St. John's,
Halifax
Quebec City
Montreal
Ottawa
Torontox2
Winnipeg
Saskatoon (it's bigger than Regina)
Edmonton (Has a nicer arena than Calgary)
Vancouver
Victoria.
Didn't put St. John, Thunder Bay or Penticton on my list because they have less than 100k peopleIf New Brunswick needs representation, maybe Moncton, but Moncton isn't that big

I'd love to Via Rail around the country and see as many shows as possible, if not all, this would be awesome!0

Would just like to point out that Thunder Bay a, is the greatest city in the world, and b, once hosted a Pearl Jam concert. I'm sitting next to the poster, and every so often I look at it and remind myself, "They really did play the arena where you learned how to skate."

I really wish I had done a few dates on both the 2005/2011 tours. 2011 I had two very young children, but 2005 I was childless. Should have really done at least 4 shows or so. All I did was Winnipeg.By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0

The only time I've ever slept in my own bed after a PJ show was Calgary 2009. I was living in Edmonton at the time, so we drove the 3 hours back after the show. Not an option when you live on an Island :(0 -

It's all moot though, because so much of Canada is small market. There's a reason most bands dip in from US tours to play the bigger markets only :(0 -
When they’re only playing 9-12 dates over a three week leg, you’re never going to see a tour like 2005 again. A 2005 itinerary now would take like two months for the band to complete with how many days off they take (one between each show, at least one or two days off between cities). In 2005 they play six shows in seven nights going from Saskatoon to southern Ontario. That would never happen now.
I think the itinerary we saw in 2011 is best-case, but as I mentioned before, Canadian dates sprinkled in with US dates, like 2013, 2016, 2022 is most likely.Post edited by Ryan on0 -
and it's just plain too expensive to tour cross canada. the distance between cities is often double or more what it is in bigger markets in the states.
But I still hold out hope!By The Time They Figure Out What Went Wrong, We'll Be Sitting On A Beach, Earning Twenty Percent.0 -

They haven't even been to Vancouver in 10 years (or 7 years if you count the Vancouver area). It's really widdled down to Ontario and Quebec.
I think we're all just doing pie in the sky optimistic hoping here0 -
Our metro centre in Nova Scotia has finally been taken over by Ticketmaster. And in New Brunswick last year or so has their newest arena taken over by Ticketmaster. So both provinces are finally on ticketmaster.com's search engine. More hope that bigger bands will be coming to the Maritimes.
Crossing fingers for another Halifax to the Max experience with Pearl Jam, in 2024.0 -
