2016 PJ25 Tour Rumors

So if one was to have a hotel booked for the show they want to attend based on the last rumour is that crazy?

Non-refundable?...pretty crazy

Refundable that many people have done?...not crazy at all

Good for you! Philly is on the list

We went to Nashville after our wedding in Memphis in 2012, and just loved it. It is a 10-hour drive from where we live though, and it would just be a single day, so we decided not to opt for it this time around. But I highly recomment it!!!

This is the hotel connected to the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Good luck...

Regarding the GA line, in 2014, 10C sent out an email that went something like this:

Line up whenever the heck you want to. Three hours before, fine. Three days before, fine. It was permissible to get out of line for a few minutes for food, bathroom, pick up tickets, etc. A system involving a list with numbers (such as to get out of line for hours and hours) was not permissible. Talk to people nearby you so they can hold your spot and you can hold their spot. Once the doors open, you walk in a calm and peaceful manner to the front. No running. Anyone running will be pulled out of line.

No holding area, so whatever you had in line such as cards, chairs, guitar, books, had to be returned to the car before the doors opened.

I agree that one person should not be allowed to hold a spot for 15 buddies, but certainly one person can be allowed to hold a spot for their ticket buddy only.


What I'd like to see is this:
Have a GA ticket and want super-close? Get in a line about an hour before doors open. You get a number. A random number is drawn. The person with the lucky number lines up first. The person with the next-higher number lines up as the #2 spot... and so on and so forth.

If there's 200 people, that's 100 numbers... 100 10C members and 100 buddies... Number 52 is drawn. Whoever is #52 goes in first followed by 53-100 and then 1-51.

Once these people are all situated, doors open.

Anyone else in GA, but not wanting to be up close can enter at the regular time when doors open.

Pearl Jam in Quebec City and Montreal in May 2016?

It moves in the entourage of Pearl Jam , which would have completed the North American segment of the schedule of his tour , according to Alternative Nation.

A source alleges that a representative of the group would have confirmed the upcoming announcement of the dates of the tour, and that the preliminary list unveiled last October on the forums PearlJam.com could hold the road.

This list notably includes stops in Quebec City, Montreal , Ottawa and Toronto.

If the news is confirmed , the legendary alternative rock formation might be passing in Quebec and Ontario during the month of May 2016 .

The initial list mentioned alleged on 8 and 11 May for Quebec and Montreal respectively, and the 10, 13 and May 14 for Ottawa and Toronto.

The leader of Pearl Jam , Eddie Vedder , has also dedicated a cover of Imagine , John Lennon , a fan died in the attacks in Paris at the Bataclan , Pierre- Antoine Henry , presented at a concert in Rio recently .

Any other radio station hints or leaks? I couldn't care less about GA line/list issues other than to remind people that the whole point of GA was to get new blood up close to the stage (like the row 1/2 lotto), so the fact that it tends to be the same people upfront again for every show is kinda counter to the spirit of the thing.

If, and I mean if, there was a way to have a small section of GA up front in North American sports arena reserved for let's say lottery GA winners, that would be great. It would be alot of work for the 10club / arena to do. To place a new cage / section for these up close rail winning fans. It wouldn't hurt to try though. For Pearl Jam to see new faces up front.

Also add, it would be great to see fan's who live in the city have the chance to win these up close GA tickets. Rarely do you hear someone locally getting to see Pearl Jam up close & front to the stage in their home town. It's usually someone who's out of state or from another country.

This is 100% what should happen. Easy to do as well.

This seems like a reasonable idea and keeps the loitering down. Also, fans can take in a little of the host city. I like it.
