2020 Tour Rumor Thread

lastexitlondon · November 2019

I would only ever do G.A . I tried seats. Its dead for me. Just my choice but i loved G.A

steveddievedder · November 2019

I love both GA and Reserved - did both last year in London x 2 (GA) and Rome / Prague (Reserved). Would love people to be more open to moving around in GA rather than protecting their spot with crossed arms as I think IMO it creates conflict rather than everyone looking out for each other, but both can be just as amazing when the European crowds are going for it. There’s really no bad place to be when you’re in these size of arenas. Super excited for whatever is coming next summer, loving all the guesses and I’m still holding out a tiny bit of hope for a Scottish show!

Other years was x2 on the plan and add second later. At the moment there is no x2

I read this to mean for London there is a higher possibility of a UK festival date or outdoor show. On previous tours there is no x2 in London if there's a UK festival/outdoor show. 2010 - Hyde Park, 2012 - Isle of Wight, 2014 - Milton Keynes.

Good reading

So are we saying the only UK date will be a festival or outdoor, or there will be UK festival/outdoor as well as a indoor, like London or Manchester?

I am confused

alexfeba · November 2019

Any possibilities for TRNSMT festival in Glasgow? Dates could fit, as this UK Festival hint does, right?

For Canucks leaving from Toronto area, does anyone have a ball park idea on cost say to do a 3 show run across the pond for 2 people? Just curious is this is even feasible to pull off? Again just a rough idea. Or if you have a number from a 2018 trip that would be a great starting point

thanks

All depends on how well you need to eat/sleep/travel and how on the ball you are after the shows are announced with booking.

You are looking at $1250 CAD each in flights. After you need to get to each city so add on $300 more each for travel so $1550 just to get to each city and home. $3100 for two. Then hotels and food. 6 nights roughly so there is another $800 there if you do not need the best of the best. Tickets to the show $700 for 6 tickets. Food another $500 or so. Are you going to do stuff in the city as in day tours and stuff? It can all add up pretty fast as you can see.

No nothing major in any given city other than exploring via foot. So not too much cost in that I suppose. I would say my optimal budget looks to be 6500 - 7k, high end being 8500 - 9k max CDN. Thanks for the feedback

I would add some thoughts here:

-Flights: July is more expensive than June most likely and if you are willing to fly to not necessarily the perfect airport you could probably do somewhat better than 1250 especially in June.

-Hotels: some countries and cities are more expensive than others. Germany and the Netherlands can be quite reasonable, although like anywhere else if you need to stay in the downtown core of a large city it tends to cost more.

-Concert tickets: the 2020 pricing is not known but I would estimate that 6 tickets would cost considerably more than 700 Canadian. EV solo tickets this year were upwards of 100 euros apiece in most cities which is probably less than what PJ will charge next year. 100 euros is about 150 Canadian at current rates so 6 tickets would be 900 CAD and likely pushing 1000 if prices increase next year.

-City to city travel doesn’t have to cost that much. It depends which cities and how far apart, but rail tickets purchased well in advance can have some great prices, and renting a car can sometimes work out cheaper if you have two people.

-But all in all, I would agree with the general ranges stated in terms of big picture costs.

Thanks for the info. Pretty much has to be in July. We are both in the education business and our schools are wrapped up around the 26th, then just needed to firm up grandparents to watch the kids......

I have never been anywhere in Europe. Where should I go?

Looking for indoor, seated, so my seniority matters. Other than that just a fun city for the wife and I to hang for a few days.

Amsterdam is always amazing! Like walking around a museum. English is spoken everywhere, making it an easy first visit. The last several Euro tours kicked off there.

https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/230393/lets-talk-amsterdam-2014/p1

I would LOVE to see amsterdam, but PJ 101 is you goto the LAST night of the tour.

lellopj · November 2019

there is a contest on rockwerchter website to guess the acts to win tickets. the deadline of the contest is november 17th. so for sure no news till then...

It sounds like alot of fun. Does anyone find it ironic among the lowest cost are the actual tickets for the actual talent?

Is it outrageous for a band of this popularity to potentially charge $500 -1000 a ticket when loyal fans are willing to drop up to $10k on a vacation centered on following the band?

Is the band leaving millions on the table traveling to remote locations that are fun for them while bypassing more populous and high revenue domestic locations for an extended period of time? Spicy contemplation.

"Is the band leaving millions on the table traveling to remote locations that are fun for them while bypassing more populous and high revenue domestic locations for an extended period of time? Spicy contemplation. "

Of course! That's just one of the many reasons to love this band. They save the best tickets for the real fans and make them affordable. Playing Moline, Illinois, USA, in 2014 says a lot.

I understand the point, but I hope people aren’t spending $10k just to see Pearl Jam shows. That would be odd. Europe is the draw for me, and the bonus is Pearl Jam shows. I would pay $300 to see one show or two, but not five at that price.

They're not. He's distorting a point to beat the same drum he beats in every one of his posts. If Pearl Jam charged $500 per ticket, we could finally see them in clubs again.

I paid $500 face value to see Springsteen on Broadway.
As a fan of many decades and shows it was worth every penny.
Would pay that to see PJ in a small club for a special event.
Certainly not for a stadium, ballpark, or even an arena.
