they ALWAYS used to play the south, it was only in 06 that they skipped the region and a lot of us were left out because we waited thinking they would announce another leg that never happened. you people who are dogging out the south sound so ignorant. oh well, i'm happy because i get to see my favorite band again without having to travel very far and i could care less if the fan club tickets sold out or not, i got mine and i dont have to come on this board now and cry like a baby about how i got shut out and the ten club screwed me over!
How hard is it to understand that these places have a much smaller population? Smaller population=smaller amount of people who may be fans. The percentage of the population that are tenclub members is probably close to the same in each region.
The percentage of 1,000,000 is going to be larger than the percentage of 500,000 or whatever number. It's simple math.

I think Atlanta probably would have sold out. Maybe... don't hurt me.
I agree... I think they made some odd choices for cities.. West Palm Beach is not that far from Tampa.. relatively speaking.. they could have went to Atlanta instead of Tampa for sure.. but they run the show.. You can't please everyone.. ever.. I was just bored when I created this monster of a thread.. sorry South..no ill will.. PJ tries their best to please everyone.. I think.. it just takes them awhile to make it to all the stops..

Atlanta and NC got shows in 03, Asheville in 04 and SC hasn't gotten a show since 1998. I think it's about time. Share and share alike.

Yeah, not sure why they didn't pick Atlanta. Maybe because they're playing Bonnaroo ~3 hours away. I still think Atlanta would have been a better choice than SC and FL.
I was at the 03 show. Was great! Crown of Thorns made it's debut there/here for that tour. Present Tense too I think.
yeah but people(members) travel to shows all the time.
I agree..
Maybe it's because Florida is soooo far south...The Grateful Dead didn't go to Florida much...it's hard to just drive through Florida on your way to another state.. I think that is why most bands with traveling fans bases bypass Florida.. It is such a diverse state too..hard to judge ticket sales..

People from the south were forced to travel to other cities but the people up north had shows and have them now so they aren't forced to travel here to see shows. I've seen PJ in Boston, Toronto and DC. If they played the south as often as the north and the roles were reversed, we'd been seeing the same thing. People in the north would be forced to travel down here if they wanted to see them and the shows would sell out. I'm not recommending PJ do that because, like I've said, the populations down here are smaller, it makes more sense for them to play up north more. I'm just pointing out reasons the tenclub tix haven't sold out.

You guys must talk to some old ass rednecks, whose time has came and then gone a long time ago. It's a mindless stereotype.
