I still think they hit swing states to promote the album and attempt to swing votes. A heavy dose of FL, OH, MI, MN, WI and PA. Back to stadiums in 2021 and beyond. 

Arenas need less notice. Probably hear something in May, June, possibly early July. That still is 3 full months notice minimum for an october thru november run. 

maybe some swing states but I think that will be more a matter of coincidence/convenience.  They are generally more practical and pragmatic about their influence these days and use their opportunity to impact things they can tangibly control.   

As far as stadiums in the future, I think this first little test run with Ticket Master has proven that they can manage to get high volume of tickets directly to Club members, so the need to play ridiculously large stadiums is not necessary.

Bigger payday. Less traveling. Make the fans come to you. Bigger hype. Why play for 15k  for 20 shows when you can play for 40k plus per show for like 8 shows.

I dont think there is a need to play stadiums but the math supports stadiums. Is probably also easier on the crew/family life. 

I’m betting GNR is regretting their decision to play stadiums. Looks like plenty of of elbow room at MetLife stadium. Bring the wife, the kids, the nanny and the in laws. Heck, bring the entire little league team.

The top five US cities I'd love to visit to see pj for the first time in:
Austin
Minneapolis
Houston
San Antonio
Louisville

Some of those places are great, but Houston? Eeek. 

Seventeen years since their last show there could make things very interesting.

I'll take Hartford.  I'll take Worcester.  I'll take Boston.  I'll even take Philly.  Actually after being shut out for the spring leg I'll take anywhere I can get fan club tickets.

“Anywhere” meaning south, midwest, west, etc...or just another impossible ticket in the NE?  

Ny’rs should take the hint and travel out to see some shows. 

Yep. Use NY to promote that new album. (Wow PJ sold out MSG! So donate!). I probably will donate anyway, great cause.

But if NY gets skipped over again ( yes 1 show for a 25 million region with $1500 tickets is essentially being skipped over) - DotC tour is definitely reminiscent of Bowie . Suffragette City.

Here is another prospective. I don't think they need NY to promote anything at this point in their career, playing the Apollo for the SiriusXM show makes sense for 3 very specific reasons. It's a historical venue they have never played, it lines up with their tour schedule, and SiriusXM is headquartered in NYC. I get what you are saying about supply and demand because NYC stands alone as far as population goes, but Houston hasn't had a show in 17 years. In that time frame NYC has had over 20 shows, and probably 20-30 more in very reasonable traveling distance. I think they have gone above and beyond to try and meet the demand of such a heavily populated region. I see your situation as being very fortunate when it comes to being a PJ fan, but there are always different ways to look at things. I have only slept in my bed 1 time after a PJ show, and will be setting out on another trek come April. I can respect your passion though and hope that you are able to score tickets.

Truth.  Tix available for OKC.   Welcome to the rest of the country NYC.    

Y’all so quick to spend our money, thanks dude!

ya got a grand I can borrow for travel? I’m good for it, I promise. I thank the prez for that. Sick returns. BTW no direct flights NY to okc.
