I know everyone was hoping for a full on southern tour and i know the folks out towards texas did not get anything, but it is cool to see a couple southern dates.

It is going to be really hard to get tickets to Columbia but i'm going to try my best.

I wish they put tickets on sale at night instead of during the day. I am going ot have to try to do this and hide it from my boss

I am going to be super fucking pissed if I can't get tickets!!!

I am taking Monday off for this.Sorry I will be on before 9am and before 11 to get my WPB and Tampa tickets.Those are the closest show to me and have no money to travel anywhere else.

(all of the hating on the board can't kill this for me, nothing can!!!)

Come to Florida Brian!!!

I would love to, but for a number of reasons I think I'll probably just get to one show. As it turns out, Canes playoff tickets go on sale Monday as well. I have to balance my spending out between PJ, hockey, and other stuff later this summer. Talked to one of my buddies last night and I think Va. Beach will be the best bet. I grew up about an hour south of there so I can crash at the ol' homestead. I absolutely hate how they make an announcement and tix go on sale with such little notice. But that seems to be the norm for those who make plans for the band now.

I am curious as to how many people are taking there "economic stimulus plan" refund and spending it all on PJ tix?


And regarding the laying to rest of the mighty thread, well, I didn't start it, but I say it stays alive until the final show. And I know it's already been said, but it can't be said enough. If it is annoying people, then "fuck em".

yes sir, yes sir, am planning on both shows... we'll arrange to meet up. Being emotional anyway, I still cry when I see this thread, the announcement.... shit.

I do hope they are able to cover some other southern areas at some point.

va, sc, and dc for sure. if i can get the tickets, of course.

this announcement was a little bittersweet imho, although GOD I"M HAPPY to have a chance to see them again. 5 years is a LONG FUCKING TIME

Kind of a bummer that the tentative date at the Creek didn't happen eh? At least there are a number of places within reasonable driving distance of us. Hell, the last time I saw them was Asheville, and that is further than any of the places you mentioned.

PS- what do you think of the new "rows 1 and 2" plan. You are pretty far up the ladder aren't you. With my # being just a tad over 200,000 I'm not affected (unless I were to get the lucky bump up). How cool would it be if they were to hook those of us up in this thread? If there was ever a time for acceptable collusion and sneaky, underhanded doings, that would be it.

We WERE planning to see them - so glad we are seeing pearl jam instead.

you think the mods will shut us down if we don't "stick to the intent of the thread?"

Dude..I was just kidding. I hope you get both. I'm sure you will.

I'm hoping for Columbia since it looks like I won't make it to Tampa.

i'm not convinced it won't still happen. the email from the the venue in dallas tells me they have other locations on the tentative list, too. maybe i'm just in the deepest case of denial i've ever been in...

re: random. well, honestly, i'm little on the fence. my number has landed me on the front row three times, once in 00 and twice in 03. i'm not one of those who did 30 shows a tour and got bored or complacent or recognized by ed as being the same ol same ol down front every night...so, in a way, i feel a little penalized. i guess i'm happy for people who might never have had the chance otherwise, but like i say i feel like i got penalized by two or three rows due to the actions of others. also, i'm a little worried that they do both sets of random draws first, then fill in with seniority. for example, if i didn't get pulled in the draw for the first two rows, my seniority would probably put me in row 3 or 4. if they draw for rows 9 and 10 before filling in 3 through8 by seniority, i could very easily wind up 10 rows back, and that feels almost like i'm being punished for something i didn't do
