Same. I’m in such a pissy mood. Spent last night pricing up 24 hours in Barcelona or Madrid though and it would be doable. Night 2 in Barcelona is on my wedding anniversary though so I’d feel like a heel if I did that.
Was doing the same for Lisbon. There's no Sunday tickets, but there are for the full weekend (20 pounds more expensive than the London gig)
I hope this ends their desire to play the sphere in vegas.
They have way too many cancellations of shows to expect fans to pay hundreds of dollars flying into a desert and getting hotel rooms.
I think The Sphere makes more sense than ever. A controlled environment may be what EV needs.
Desert air didn’t agree with him too well.
Also, the Sphere is a cool engineering marvel, but it wasn’t that great a concert venue IMO. I’ll take the Kia Forum or similar for PJ.
I haven’t gotten to listen to the Vegas shows yet (currently on Vancouver 2). Did he struggle in Vegas?
I thought the views and sound at The Sphere were amazing. It felt like I was watching U2 in virtual reality. If PJ did a residency there I would hit as many as I could. The setlist variety may be tough though due to the screen.
Dead & Co play a completely different setlist each night at the Sphere. PJ is more repetitive

Holding fire planning anything until we see these boys back on the stage again

If you’ve never been to Lisbon and / or NOS Alive before, I’d highly recommend it. It’s a great city, still quite cheap in comparison to a lot of European cities and the festival is great too.

We were also on our way to London when we got the news of the cancellation. We couldn’t make it in time to get merch, I hope they put it up in the store. I know people have asked, but does anyone think that is possible? For whatever reason it would make the mood I am in a little bit better. I do hope they all recover quickly and this doesn’t happen again for any other fans.

That’s why I haven’t booked anything yet. I’ll wait and see what happens at the Berlin shows before I commit.

I really love Lisbon and know it quite well but have never been to the festival. Similarly, waiting to see what happens in Berlin
Maybe it’s time to tour a set of avatars instead like the big boys do it
Seen that twice already. Going again in October. You have to see it, it's so good

Feeling worse today than yesterday. Just stings knowing I’m missing the whole tour as could only afford one this year and went for London due to logistics of babysitting/work holidays etc. I know people are worse off and it’s only a gig but I’m definitely wallowing in self pity😂

I just start to wonder how it affects future tours. i guess flying over and then straight away playing shows is having an impact over previous few years. wonder if flying over a couple weeks before might be beneficial next time.
It would have been very nice PJ would say we return next year. But the only info we only get everytime - the show is cancelled. Spingsteen was sick but he postponed his shows to 2025. As a 10C member that was it with my membership. Makes no sense to renew a membership for extraordinary prices like the ticket prices here in Europe!
I hope this ends their desire to play the sphere in vegas.
They have way too many cancellations of shows to expect fans to pay hundreds of dollars flying into a desert and getting hotel rooms.
Why would Vegas be any different than London for this old band? People pay hundreds to fly and stay at all sorts of destinations. We know many here likely spent thousands to go to Europe for shows.
It does suck but I'm just not sure how the desert destination makes it different for Pearl Jam.
(I understand environmental position.)
I’ve followed older bands for more decades than I’d chose to admit, and I can’t think of one with such bad luck with cancellations. There probably is one, but can’t think of it. Plus lately they don’t seem able to find a way to postpone and reschedule within the same tour.
The difference with a Vegas residency tour, it would REQUIRE that we spend thousands to go see them. If I were to travel to London or Portland to see them for an extra show in addition to a local one that would be my decision, my risk. Plus they routinely skip so many cities and never play nearly enough shows in the east, a Vegas residency would be a slap in the face to a huge contingent of fans

I agree it’s a stunning facility but requiring us to hop on a plane into the desert to see a show is not a fun experience for many fans. They would be placating to a subset of their most loyal fans.
If they start building a handful of spheres around the country, that will put a serious dent in how many local arena concerts are available for fans and create a significant dent in climate safety.
plus, not sure I am looking for incredible video when at a concert, despite how life altering that screen seems to be (the d and c Saturn video was insane). The audio sounds like perfection, but just not thrilled with being forced to fly cross country into a desert to see them in a year they would only do a residency, and their shows near me requires a grand for ny tix and a grand fr multiple tix elsewhere in the east
For a band that loves to pick winners and losers (Cali fans, seniority etc) it’d be nice for them for once to think of the fanbase as a collective force. The easiest hint would be getting a report of premium prices for the seven east shows. A Vegas residency after this fiasco would be a slap in the face.

If it was feasible with my wife’s schedule I would consider the Sphere if they played. I was supposed to go in 22 when it was cancelled and the only time I have been to LV was during a layover at the airport. Will a lot of people have to fly in to see them play, yes. Would those same people fly into New York from all across the country to see a show there if they somehow got tickets? Yes again.
