    Why is everyone convinced it would be at The Vic again?

    I am hopeful for a show at the Metro, or even better... LINCOLN HALL!!! :shock:

    So IF the show is 9/1... presale is probably going to be around the 25th w/ the announcement maybe the 22nd/23rd?

    I bet tons of venues are open so there's no easy way to guess where they might play.

    But the Foo Fighters did do it right over the weekend - you check in and are ushered in immediately. While people WERE selling their second ticket, at least this helped a tiny bit to avoid even more scalping... no way to perfectly cut it out when you can buy pairs.

    I want some white castle now... :twisted:

    From what I understand, the 2007 warm up show was not supposed to be at the Vic. Initially it was supposed to be held at the Chicago Theatre and it was moved at the last minute because of some constriction at the Chicago Theatre. I would hope that a warm up show this year (if it does happen) would be at a venue larger than the Vic ...

    I would love to have an excuse to make another PJ trip to Chicago :)

    Chicago Theater would be great... could still sellout through the 10C, but can fit a lot more people which is good for everyone!

    I think if they did a warmup show it would be a secret show. Sort of like when Soundgarden played at the showbox last year under a different name

    Time for a Honking Seals reunion!

    then you are talking just a regular small show.

    i think a place that holds less than 2k would be cool...assuming i could get in.

    The chances of geting tickets are slim to none LOL. Better chance of winning powerball or becoming president

    That's the ultimate gamble, right? If you get in its pure bliss, but if you don't its pure agony..

    I got lucky on the Vic - 4 hours of refreshing and I got one of the pairs that opened up long after most people gave up... but those 4 hours felt like the worst four hours... just pure insanity.

    But I'd take a show and a chance over no show and no chance - even if I may regret thinking that later!!

    my apologies.

    if there is a show, and i don't get tickets, i'll be happy to trade you 10 c notes for yours.

    :lol:


    some people get a litle too worked up about this kind of stuff, to the point that i feel embarressed for them.

    If this were to happen, it would be great. But wouldnt the ticket sale be just like the PJ20 disaster again??? I doubt they would have a new ticketing system in place by the time tickets would need to go on sale. If they actually do a warmup show, I hope they would just have a lottery for who gets tickets to avoid hours of frustration again.
