    That's a good idea . Only that's not possible, as I live with my wife and kids. But anyhow say what you like as you do anyway. And expect others to do the same . It's not a hard concept

    I suppose one can take satisfaction in the thought that PJ will be going home w/ a load of unsold London soccer balls.

    Not a problem, the Americans will pay a $100 for them.

    I say that as someone currently packing bags for two uncertain Berlin shows :-/
    I havnt thought about packing yet. I was going to pack on Sunday after London tomorrow.
    I had the same feeling travelling to Amsterdam 2 years ago after the cancelled shows. And I only have tickets to night 1

    Occams resonable sense says that if there was a resonable risk the band wouldn’t play they should postpone selling merch untill they knew if the show was on or not

    Merch bullshit aside, I’m very sorry for you folks (locals and travelers) to have this show canceled. It’s brutal.

    Certainly doesn't help playing a stadium show at the same time as the Glastonbury Music Festival which might explain the very poor ticket sales along with the outrageous cost for this show. One needs to ask, was this fully thought out? As for all this merch, they're just going to make it all available to buy through their site. We all love them but make no mistake about it, this is a business and it's not 1994-1995 taking on ticketmaster.

    Lower and lower physical sales of albums, low ticket sales, etc.

    In terms of Pearl Jam being relevant and commercially successful, this seems to be a scary time for them and where they're at career-wise. The band always claimed to not care about such things, but that was when their albums still got certified and they could pack out any venue anywhere in the world. All of this must be a little jarring for them, honestly.

    They need to get the ticket prices back in check and humble themselves to deliver at smaller venues. On the mainstream level, it'd look significantly better if they had both a critically claimed album (sans big sale numbers) and a world tour that is 99% sold out.

    Pearl Jam hasn't been a "relevant" band in a long time.  And that's no knock on them.  They are still a profitable touring band. They are mostly selling out arenas and ballparks in the US, prices be damned. I feel terrible for locals of London and those traveling that this happened. But the singer got sick. What are you gong to do? These posts about the band being done or at a crossroads are a little dramatic.

    Honestly, this is why I'm thinking Pearl Jam Week in the UK.  It's more efficient to put on one epic show for the hardcore fans, than to travel to multiple cities and cater to the casuals.  Here's to hoping we get some Pearl Jam Week shows in 2025.

    The merch machine runs on its own and they have a job to do. Sell merch. As much as we can. No matter what. Sorry the show was cancelled for those that traveled.

    One show at the Tottenham Stadium!? I mean, of all the venues! (They are nowhere near as popular as Foo Fighters in the UK - who actually CAN sell out stadiums).






    Honest question…why are Foo’s more popular than PJ over there?
    Foo Fighters is more popular than Pearl Jam in every country on earth?

    They still let everyone in the merch queue but a ton of merch for an hour before cancelling.... Stinks. Cancel at midday before shop opens and let folk choose
    They also could have waited and canceled tomorrow. 
    Or could have told everyone so they could choose to buy merch for a cancelled show or not. It's quite simple 
    Fuck man, nothing they do is good enough, huh? 

    You assume the worst of them 24/7, why are you even in the fan club? 
    💯 that pretty much sums up the guy.  Thousands of posts spreading negativity far and wide. No idea why he follows the band. 
    We should ask your permission about what we say about the band??..

    Who is name calling?  We are just tired of all your negative, repetitive posts in every thread.  We get it, you want everyone to hear you but give it a rest man.
