STILL NO LOVE FOR THE SOUTH.

I just saw eddie ATL from 3 rows back 2 nights in a row thanks to 10c just over 2 weeks ago??? I got my fixer!
That was all the love I needed. They will be back. Guaranteed! I bet come Feb-Mar 2010
they will play 2 shows in ATL, I bet they play Birmingham and Greenville, SC as well.

exactly. At least Ed came to Atlanta and played two killer shows. Other than Maui, I think they were the best of the tour. I was really hoping for at least one SE date, but I really didn't think that it was going to happen. As the poster above me said, they'll be back in 2010. This just gives us some more time to save up some money.

Plus Texas is in the south and they are playing ACL this year. Even more, think about all of the killer shows that we got last year in the south!!!!!

That's what you get for giving us George W. Bush.

Remember, this is a business. If I recall correctly, last year all the Philly and MSG shows sold out immediately (and some crashed the server.) However, the Florida Ten Club tickets were available for weeks, and I'm not sure if they ever sold out. Supply meet demand - its the Economic Love Story.

you and 80K others... enjoy having a close view

Eh. I've been there, done that. It doesn't really matter to me whatsoever how close I am to the stage.

I know I'll probably get my Pearl Jam Fan Club card revoked -- because bitching about seat location is one of the first rules of Ten Club -- but I don't give a fuck. Just want to be at the show.

They're never playing down here properly again. I've just learned to accept it.

THANKS PJ.

God, I know! and dont forget Alaska, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Antannarivo Madagascar, Chad, Walla Walla Washington...and for godsake, how could they forget Tokelau??!?! That PJ, they make me so mad.
oh, yeah...come to the south guys.

I just spent four years at college in NC and not one PJ show in Raleigh or Charlotte (not to mention I missed the epic 10/3/05 Spectrum show which was practically in my back yard).

MOVING BACK TO PHILLY IN 3 WEEKS JUST IN TIME FOR THE SPECTRUM!

nice call... i recall posting something a response like that on the PLEASE PLAY THE SOUTH threads... i coulndt belive that after all of the complaints, the south had 4-5 shows to choose from and they went without selling out... hell, i went to Tampa from NY to see them... got 10c tix and they were pretty good!

Did those Florida shows end up selling out or was it just the 10C tix that didnt sell out?
I recall all the Houston and Dallas shows always selling out, so why not come back here instead of the southeast?

A show doesn't have to sell out to be profitable does it? I don't argue that there isn't as much demand in the south as in the NE, but there is still enough demand to justify a few shows, IMO.

I'm not sure whether or not those Florida shows ended up being sell outs or not. You're correct, that a show doesn't have to sell out to be profitable, but the less tickets sold equals less concessions, merchandise, parking, etc, which equals less total profit. The goal of a business is to maximize profits, so if you are going to only play limited number of shows, you should play the most profitable ones available. I don't have any hard figures to back this up, but I have the feeling that the shows in the Northeast are the most profitable PJ plays.
