Latin America or hold out for 2016?
Due to changing circumstances, I now have the option of going to the Santiago, B.A., and Brazil shows.
I realize its very hypothetical at this stage, but wonder what others would do given the option. I have limited budget, vacation days, and sympathy from an amazing wife, but I think that will only allow for either this trip or something in 2016.
Assuming the boys get all fired up by the 2016 elections, I'm assuming it could be a big year for them, especially in regard to playing much smaller venues than the S.A. shows. While I get that the energy must be crazy in those massive soccer stadiums, I wonder whether the acoustics, sight lines, etc would be limited. Also, I've been waiting for a return to Atlantic Canada for some time, and it sounds like that could be an option next year as well.
Anyways, very hypothetically, what would you choose?

So... I'd hold on. But that's just me...

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
All of these soccer stadiums are outdoors. I'm not too concerned about the potential of rain, but I'd like to get marginally close to the stage without endangering my wife, and the GA's look crazy, so we'd probably end up in expensive seats far back.
Its a hard call holding off, but given then possibility of a big 2016, I'm leaning towards laying off, which is very hard as I have a really impulsive streak.
I was worried they might stick to more conservative set lists, but from looking at 2011 set lists, it looks like they mix it up a lot just as they would on any tour.
Arghhh...too many considerations, so indecisive

For me, I've always combined overseas PJ concerts with vacation. Even though PJ's tour dictated most of the cities I went to, I was still 80% excited for vacation/sightseeing/food/beer/etc... and 20% excited for Pearl Jam shows.
If you want to see Pearl Jam then wait until 2016. If you want to have an exciting trip plus have the bonus of seeing Pearl Jam, then go to South America.

My wife is the one who would prefer to go to Asia, so in this situation I think it would be best to give her what she wants. Even though she loves PJ too, she's supported me by coming on so many PJ trips recently, so I really do owe her.
Thanks very much for everyone's help!!! I think I'm going to hold out for 2016.
To all that make it to S.A. Have a great time! I'll look forward too the boots.
