    Both is not an option, but no way I would miss either, so mine would be the non-existent option 3

    Both. Not flying from Texas for one show. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Both or none, just like the others.

    NIGHT 2
    Well, I can only attend one. So Night 2. Flying from Detroit for 1 show. Silly, I know. Seeing them in Seattle is a bucket list item.

    NIGHT 2
    I’m only gonna do one. Not sure which yet. I’m local-ish so no expense but $200 for the hotel I booked last week.

    Hopefully both, my Aunt lives there so no room expenses and may have enough points for airfare at least one way. I think I’ve convinced myself that it would be cheaper to go to Seattle instead of Wrigley even though I’m 3 hours south of Chicago. Plus the Sub Pop party is on my birthday.

    If you can only have one......Night 2 is always better in my experience.

    NIGHT 1
    Probably try for night 1 only because i assume it might be slightly easier to get tickets mid week. Could be wrong though.

    I 100% agree with that. If I'm only seeing 1 show I will ALWAYS choose the second. I think the 2nd is better because the band and crew spend a lot of energy working on setting up and everything for the first night, so they aren't as relaxed or well-rested (and if they're coming in from out of town, they were also probably travelling the day or night before as well). But with the 2nd show, the stage is already all good, the sound checks are perfunctory since it was all worked out before the first show... the band can just kind of chill out more before the show, and it totally shows on stage. Plus, 2nd shows are most often the better night for the fans, i.e. not a week night, or Saturday instead of Friday or something. Fans are always a better crowd when they didn't work the day of the show.

    This year though Wrigley 2 is on a Monday and Fenway 2 is on a Tuesday.

    I plan on dancing outside where GA is waiting both night, with my 50 watt boom box cranking out Pearl Jam tunes, getting everyone fired up, I am sure the band or some of the crew will notice and should get them fired up as well.

    Yeah, that's unfortunate. Still, 2nd show is still better for the other reasons.
