    Thought Sun King was great. Also enjoyed Top Golf for the first time which was right across the street from the hotel. Yes, everyone was devastated. However, all being in the same boat helped a lot. Met lots of other fans who traveled like us, and while every one was super bummed I didn’t see anyone screaming with fire and pitchforks. Just really hope they make up the date. If so, this will all be part of the journey to one epic show.

    My 9 yr old always demands answers as well

    Good luck.  (I spent thousands on this trip and am currently delayed on my return flight, to boot.  I get the dissatisfaction and disappointment)
    Damn man, I feel bad for you. i was a victim of the raleigh cancellation. Why not just come on down south to Austin?

    For better or worse, free flowing information has never been a characteristic of this band. And they are notoriously private about their personal lives. You pays your money and takes your chances.
    Too true and honestly while it may be fair to want more clarity, demanding it like a petulant child and then also asking for free stuff is a really bad approach to achieving more clarity.  

    And hey, are you the "Get-Right" guy I met at the hotel during Ohana 2021?

    I'm pretty sure we got a real answer. There are risks associated with travel and tours. The band would've played if they reasonably could have. I just hope everyone is okay.

    Talk about first world problems. Always assume built in risk of cancellation to any long term scheduled event and have a plan B. Go check out the city and enjoy! I sure hope people coming from miles away don't just spend all their extra time in their hotel rooms. Bottom line, the world's not ending. You are fortunate enough to afford flying across the country to see your favorite music act perform. Many people in this world hardly have enough money to eat and pay for shelter. It's ok to be disappointed, that's part of life. But to demand more specific health information from the band and feel like you're the victim? Someone is sick. That's all we need to know. That sucks for them, sucks for us. But in the grand scheme of the universe, we are all very fortunate. Hope the band member(s) in question get well and finish the tour healthy! But sometimes shit happens.

    If it is indeed happening in May (rumored) it won’t be announced until whatever other shows then are announced. So based on past timing there’s a pretty good shot we don’t know anything more until March. The odds of hearing anything before the end of the year are really low.

    It would be cool if the 10c members who hold onto their tickets are compensated by having their seats reassigned to best available (in order of 10c seniority) after refunds are processed, before the remaining seats for the make-up date are sold to the public.

    Good luck on that. It's totally what should happen, but they didn't do that for the Covid tour they postponed for so long. Those of us that held onto our tickets for over a year still had the same seats we originally received while they opened up sales to all the canceled ones to other people. I can't understand why they didn't move us all up, but oh well.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Best seats are subjective. Don't take away my aisle seats to me one section closer but 12 rows back. (This is more of an arena issue than a shed issue, but still.)

    I do feel sorry for all the folks that are bummed. I understand because it still stings about Baltimore cancellation. It’s a new era with Covid though. I tested positive last Wed and am still wrestling with it and I was boosted. My guess is that’s what it is and they are hopeful for a quick turnaround. It takes a-lot for any band, especially a band the caliber of PJ, to cancel a gig and for so many different reasons. I’m sure if show on 13th goes on Ed will mention it.

    I feel you on the Baltimore cancellation.  Judging from the 2013 show, and the fact that Gigaton would've been released the day before the show (I think?), I bet that show would've been spectacular.

    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? 
    Yes, yes, maybe. There are also many others that can go from acute discomfort to manageable in a couple of days. 
    or maybe as many of us think....it was a serious or tough decision to make to cancel the show, and not that the illness itself was serious.

    This is what is still not sitting right with me.  What could it be?  Like a broken foot, but now PJ Member has a cast?  But is that even serious?  What is serious but you are back 100% in 3 days?  Just weird wording.

    If EV has COVID (pure speculation) and his throat feels anything like mine does right now, he could not sing for 2+ hours tomorrow.

    What? How is a broken foot an illness?  Someone is sick, most likely Covid, just let it be. Those Ft worth shows will never happen imo

    There are a whole host of medical conditions which have acute periods of debilitating symptoms that can resolve rather quickly before re appearing. I’d suggest reading more.

    Mike has a Crohn’s ….

    Any of the others could have undisclosed issues. 

    In any event, it’s nobody’s “right” to know. So, I’d suggest letting it go and moving on. There are much more important things in life (even for those who were inconvenienced by this postponement).

    Hopefully everybody is good while not life and death. It still hurts when they cancel happened in Sacramento to me anyways, I think an update would be awesome just to let everyone know that everything is back to 100% for Fort Worth. The speculation tomorrow is going to be insane if they don’t announce anything and if they do cancel at the last minute tomorrow then I think people will be really upset.

    Read the first post and my only take away was wondering what the hell a faightful is.  
    In fairness to the OP, Pearl Jam doesn't know how to spell "faithful" either... but that's the full extent to which I feel the OP gets the benefit of the doubt.

    I had tickets to Indy but canceled our trip a week prior because something came up. I flew to Sacramento for the show last year so I know what it’s like though.
    I wouldn’t want any more information for the Indy show. But if I was going to TX I’d be very curious. Would be nice to know if it was a 24 hour stomach flu or something longer so I could decide if I want to take the risk in traveling or not. Especially if I flew SW and could cancel a flight.
    I understand why they don’t give that information. Just saying it wouldn’t make any difference for me if I was at Indy, would only be curious if I was going to the next show.
    It is a bit odd that we immediately know why Springsteen or Aerosmith is cancelling but it's kind of radio silent from PJ.
    This is not what radio silence means.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
