    ok now I'm getting annoyed with all these competitive threads about how the south can't sell tickets. As if it has anything to do with the region. It's more demographics. I think it's safe to say the highest concentration of tenclub members/PJ fans are in the Northeast. Who the F*** cares? They also haven't played Seattle in a long time but I don't think it's because they can't sell tickets there.

    I wonder how many more of these retarded threads will be started...

    Wasn't aware that we were on race to see what state sells the most tickets the quickest! :rolleyes: and I agree with what you said, Who the F*** cares?

    I think is more about who cares? whether FL and VA have or not tickets available... or who cares if the NE sales quicker...

    If all the "southerners" wouldn't have caused such an uproar for the past few years, about playing the south it wouldn't be such a big deal. But with all these petitions, and bitching about how PJ doesn't like the south, and whatnot, it seems like they would have stepped it up when they actually had the chance, and they didn't.

    The Seattle-area folks haven't complained anywhere near as much as the southerners have.

    What uproar? The board uproar? I can guarantee you every single one that bitched on this board about no tour on the South bought a ticket yesterday.

    Many of you seem to forget the the board is a tiny fraction of Pearl Jam fans out there. I'm in the South and travel when they don't come here rather than bitch but I didn't see no uproar about no shows on TV or the papers.. only on this board and the board is not indicative of the PJ fanbase in the South.

    What I dont understand is why does it get under ya'lls skin that there are still tickets available, how does it affect you?

    so you're basically saying because the shows in the NE sell out faster then the shows in the South, that NE fans are better fans ?? That doesn't seem like a very fair judgment at all. You cant stereotype an entire group of fans because tickets aren't selling as fast in the south as they are in the northeast.

    The band cares. They aren't going to up and travel to play to half-empty arenas when the point in touring is to jam and make $ to support their families while doing so. It's win-win for them, but they need asses in the seats to do that. We deliver in Philly. They band threw the south a bone after the crying on this board and it's only been nibbled. Good showing.

    You in the band? So why do you care?
    If they dont sell what they need to make money here in this attempt they won't play here again .. what I dont get is why does it bother you NE people so much?
    You getting your show in Philly and NYC people are getting their shows in MSG.. unless you are the band's accountant I dont know what your problem with the south selling or not tickets is....

    It's more shows they could be playing in Philly AND NYC that I'll be going to. That's just it. "MY" show in Philly isn't just my show and the NYC show isn't just "their" show. I'm going to both. Lots of NY folk are coming down here as well. Boston folks. That's quite a ride. You figure with how long that stupid Play the South petition was, those folks would be in man up mode when it comes time for the actual shows.

    You have any idea how long it is to drive outta Florida?
    just to get out of FL to the closest state of GA is like a 13 hour drive... just to get out of FL you cant possibly try to compare the commute of you people up there to people in Florida..

    I always go to shows in NYC, this is the first year that I will miss them at the MSG and Camden, other than that every tour I've been up there, thought this time I'll be going into 6 months pregnant at that time which makes it difficult.
    But you cant generalize an entire region based on assumptions when you guys don't even live down here.... I would drive to SC if it wasnt like 15 hour drive.

    So you are really bothered because the southerners are getting shows and taking up dates they could be playing up in the North? Give me a break!

    it's sad but true because this is all it is... that guy spinmyworldtoblack just said it loud and clear that what bothers him and that FL, SC and VA are taking up dates they could be playing in the north so that he could go to 7 shows rather than just 3.... its sad that some PJ fans in the North can be so self centered and selfish...

    I don't know what the fuck they want us to do. i bought my tickets. Two pairs in fact. We are limited to one pair each show so it's not like we can snatch a lot of them up for our family and friends who will be going, but aren't in the fan club. And seriously, stop bitching about the petition. I don't know what board settings you guys have on but whenever I get on here, it doesn't automatically open for me. If I want to read something, I have to open myself. You guys might want to change those settings. I'd be getting pissy too if I HAD to read threads I didn't want to. And do you guys seriously think that PJ would play the NE region two or three weeks straight? No. And for one good reason, it's bad for business.

    No sarcasm here, but I didnt realize this.
    I never got an email
    and honestly I have been going so digital with my music with no radio at all.
    I have been staying in and chilling from the winter.
    I decided to go out for chineese, so I had the radio on for 10 mins, amd matt cord in philly mentioned the 19th
    I ran in and it had been so long since my last time here I had to relog in, the only reason I still had my password was from when i was banned in sept 06, I just kept saving the email, so there was not much wait cause as you remember there was a time where your username was screwed up sometimes it can take a day.
    And not to mention my number lapsed like a few days, it renews on the 9th, and this was like the 21st and they let me slide.
    And here I am going to 7 shows, I havent listened to the radio since last thurs, and possibly would not have posted.

    wow
    talk about fortune and misfortune

    and the big hole in my savings.
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.


    no more shows
