PJ on Stage at 6:30pm at Fenway

Trading StoriesTrading Stories Boston Posts: 84
Hey All! 
Got an email from Redsox.com stating that the doors will be opening at 5pm w/ PJ taking the stage at 6:30. This is of course earlier than most Fenway or PJ shows. Not sure if they want to the show done at an earlier time for the neighborhood or if there is some sort of acoustic set being played (please be yes). Either way plan accordingly and i can’t wait to rock out with everyone.

  • They did the same thing to me for night 2 in Seattle. Sent an email saying they would take the stage at 7:30. They came on at 8:30ish both nights.  I think it’s just to try and make things less hectic at the gates. I was at boyh Fenway shows in ‘16 and can’t remember exact times. I do know at Wrigley 1 this year they were out before 8. I believe Fenway has a 10:30 curfew, maybe 7:30 would be realistic?

    I wouldn’t say “definitely” before 7:30.  2016 tickets said the same thing...doors at 5, show at 630.  Guess what time they came on.

    I was shocked they came on as late as they did. Still managed 30 songs. Good but not great show. Loved Tremor Christ, Present Tense, and Bill Janovitz was a treat. 
    Thanks for the comments friends. Tuesday will be epic

    They did this at the Wrigley 2016 shows too.   Telling people the band's going to play at 7:30, but then they still start at 8.  I think it's a way to try and get people to show up earlier to help get everyone into the building on time.

    I heard from someone that heard something from somewhere that there were issues regarding someone being late. So it’s basically fact

    Maybe if you guys just listen to them and get your butts in there earlier you'll get an amazing longer show.....

    But that's not how lines work. Each was servicing people from the time they opened til around 7 ish. Lines just would've been longer. If that was indeed the reason for the late start, it's the venue's fault.

    Don’t blame the crowd. That place was full, and cheering during every house song break, beginning 7:15. By 7:45 ppl were really getting anxious.

    Yup. Had nothing to do with the crowd not being there.

    Either way we are doing it again tomorrow. I don’t want to come across as complaining. I had fun and each show is always an adventure. ‘I got a feeling’ tomorrow will be special

    The onstage time almost matched the 2016 night one show.   If that happens again for night two count on the band taking the stage at least 15 minutes earlier.
