I have 2 kids and seeing them go out in their costumes is more important then attending another pj show. I will be at the first 2 shows already. I am sure there are others that feel the same way.

    why cant you go out with the kids and let those that dont have children enjoy a Halloween show. You greedy bastard :)

    Well, if that's more important, why even hope for NO show? You know what your priorities are. ;)

    Yeah, don't worry about the third show then. What you should do is bring your kids to experience with you and have them trick-or-treat for beers and burgers in the parking lot beforehand. 8-)

    How about, just not go?

    I'm only going to one of the Chicago shows and thats it. I'm obsessed, but one or two shows a tour is enough.. makes them that much more special.

    And I also have a life besides Pearl Jam. ;)

    Seriously, I've seen Ed poke fun at some of the the same people he sees at every show.. he probably shouldn't because they are paying his bills, but I agree with him.

    There's so much more to do out there than follow the same band on tour.. If some want to see 3 or 4 shows, I guess thats ok, but anything beyond that becomes compulsive.

    This rule applies to traveling as I see it, but going to all the shows in your hometown - I see nothing wrong with that.

    Just from the "hitting the refresh button" with little/no luck, I agreee with you. But if I knew I'd have tix, the more shows the merrier!

    What's wrong with going to multiple shows in multiple cities?

    Back in 2000, I followed them from Ohio all the way up to Boston. 2 weeks, 5 cities, 8 shows. It was the time of my life. I was young, had the money, and the time to do it.

    I couldn't do it now, but I'm very thankful I was able to do it back then. I say, if you have the ability to do it, do it and have fun.

    Arguably, they throw on second and third shows so the people who didn't get into the first or second show have a chance to see the band in their hometown. ;)

    exactly.


    i don't quite follow the logic here. :?
    no one is gonna force you to attend, you're already seeing them 2x....so why can't those of us who would truly LOVe a halloween show possibly get that option simply b/c you want to spend halloween with your kids?

    i soooooooooooooooooo HOPE for the halloween show!
    please, please, please!!!
    Stay with me...

    i'm currently headed to both Chicago shows. I'm planning on a 3rd Philly show so i can do a triple header with the 30th and 31st PJ shows and a Flyers game on the afternoon of the 31st. that would be pimp.
    81 is now off the air

    I do hope there is a third show for those that got shut out

    Of course that's the reason - demand. I have no problem getting tickets for all 4 possible shows without feeling bad about it. I'm using my vacation that week, so there ya go - a vacation that includes Pearl Jam all week, World Series games (yeah, that's right), and an Eagles game. Instead of paying to go away somewhere, I'm letting all the super awesome goodness come to me.

    cmon now, seriously....not healthy?
    sweet bejeebus. it ain't for you, fair enough...but cmon. hahahahaha. i LOVE travel. i LOVe seeing pj live. combine travel + live pj = bliss. it is such a FUN way to plan a travel itinerary, go to cities and/or countries you'd not might visit otherwise, meet up with all sorts of different people.....nothing cooling than meeting people at/before/after a show....it's just a GREAT time!

    i am traveling down to philly, which is not far from home, for right now...one show.....hopefully 2 if they add 10.31. that's it for this year. but HELL yea....i would've soooo been all over chicago (never visited yet) or seattle (love it and sooo many friends will be there) if either fit my work schedule.

    i agree with can'tkeepmedown. some of my best trips....seeing pj in the gorge/canada.....the italian tour......more euro shows in 07......travels along the east coast. i would LOVE to see em in oz and/or hawaii. and yea, i would travel with or without pj, and i fill my mind with plenty of other stuff outside pj, even when i go and travel and see pj. :mrgreen:

    I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) his logic is if the 30th is the last show at the Spectrum,it will be a killer show with no limits but if they play Halloween,the 30th will be a great show(aren't they all!) but not the epic show he'd like to see. So,yes he's being selfish wanting the opportunity to be at the last Spectrum show!

    This is a good example of the worst application of logic you can use. the "Just because I can't go... I don't want anyone else to go" logic.
