I guess from now on it’s best to really think about choosing shows that you have to travel to specially if it involves flying and hotel stays! 

My take aways from the last couple of tours is 1. Try and get tix for the beginning of the tour.  2. If traveling to a show, make sure it's a city you want to visit regardless if the band plays or not.  3.  Mentally prepare for anything happening last minute.

Now i just need to practice what i'm preaching as im traveling to Austin for hopefully both shows

Some of these threads are so odd. It's like,  "Hey,  I'm a huge fan and have tickets to my favorite band!" But then it turns into, "These greedy assholes better tell me what's really going on and it better not be Covid bullshit!"

Ahhh, when's the last time you people read the lyrics to a song they wrote in the last 20 years or seen the causes they support? It's you, you're the problem.

This. 

As if Pearl Jam’s scheme was to pretend to play a show so they could lure 18 thousand people to Indiana and just sell them merch for a show they never planned to play.

Just a thought but maybe traveling an absurd distance for shows isn’t a great decision at this point given the past few years? Or at least taking into account the odds a show may be postponed/cancelled and not complaining about it when things don’t go your way. I’ve traveled the states and even into Europe to see this band, but at the rate things are going I’m sitting these tours out until I see they can make it through a run of shows without something going wrong.

Traveling from Orlando to Austin Sunday for two shows. Hope they are all back on their feet this week!

Being a member of the fan club isn't a great decision these days. Tickets get worse every show and now lots of shows getting canceled. And they barely tour anywhere.

Both sides of this argument are hilarious.  The pissed off fans (myself included) should know better, and the ones who say “read the lyrics blah blah blah” are equally oblivious.  Do they feel bad?  Eh, sure maybe for like a second.  Going forward, never get tix to a show that follows a known hometown show like Chicago is for Ed.  They were going to go HARD in Chicago as they should.  I blame myself for not seeing it coming a mile away that there was a damn good chance Indy was never happening.  The second that schedule came out I had my doubts and I didn’t learn. Hopefully they reschedule and the sickness is not serious.

I’m not sure what you want. If you just found out yesterday that Nobelsville is not Indy, that’s kind of on you.
But there’s only 2 things we can be certain of.
1. They would t cancel unless they had to. It’s a huge expense to cancel or postpone a show.
2. People would be upset and complain no matter how they handled it. Cancel too early, maybe they could have gotten better. Cancel too late and people are already there. People are not going to be happy either way.

It definitely is a bummer for people heading into town and missing the concert. Make the most of it though and do something fun. Or maybe you can make a sad playlist for your 10 hour drive home

Is the person that “wants a real answer” wanting a doctor’s note? The situation is awful for folks that have planned and traveled but it is also catastrophic for a band in this situation. I’m sure there are insurance claims and different parties that are damaged by this. Also, it’s kind of concerning to not know what is up in regard to the welfare of the band members. I think if it was Covid they would say that it is.

The release stating “It’s obviously serious” is a bit strange and a lot concerning with how vague the release is. People really just want to know more considering they are suppose to take the stage again on Wednesday.

The original poster isn't looking for a doctors note, or a real answer.
They let you know exactly what they want at the end of his/her rant.

What are you even talking about? You had your doubts about Indy because they played Chicago a few nights earlier? That makes zero sense. I don't think they've mailed in or dialed down a performance for any of the shows so far.

Man, someone feels like shit for Indy and all the conspiracy theorists start legitimizing themselves.

And for what it's worth, my lyrics comments are for people who try to pretend this bands personal beliefs don't influence who they are as people. Some of the comments are way off the wall if you've actually been following this band and paying attention. But if you think it's all a facade anyway, then I'm even more puzzled why you're paying for a membership and going to shows

Anyway,  it really sucks they had to cancel and it's horrible for fans who were traveling. Every time I book something (flights, hotel, car, etc.) I take a risk. I never purchase those insurance options they throw at you when possible, but I suppose I could do that. It's all about how much we're willing to risk if something happens.

That’s nice but wanting Footsteps played for his wife is concerning 😂

The favorite song of my wife (also German and also named Stefanie) is ‘The End’

By extension, this would be our request… 😂

What kind of serious medical condition or illness is OK 3 days later. I can't figure that out. Severe food poisoning? An allergic reaction? Appendicitis?
