    Sucks but this was absolutely the right call. So glad it's postponed not cancelled, so we can use our tickets when it does happen. 

    I was worried about this back in late January but caught a ton of shit for raising the possibility. Hopefully most folks eventually made contingency plans and will recoup most of their travel expenses :(

    I get it, however, is there a refund for 10 club tickets or will the tix be good for the re scheduled shows. How about people who are traveling, and cant possibly get refunds for hotel or flights? That's money a lot of us cant afford to lose.

    Kicking myself for getting rid of my Denver tickets. My transplant was approved for feb 18 and have a long ways to recover. But with the delay I could have fucking gone!!

    I doubt they’re postponing due to things being overblown. 

    Disappointed for now but totally understand.

    it's so overblown. i just knew this was going to fuck things up. fuck. i hope my flight cost isn't down the drain. i never get to travel for this band. 
    Yeah gotta work on flights and hotels. It fit into my daughter schedule. Got GA in SD with my friend from LA. With all the talk I was concerned. This is just a major bummer.

    I’m almost positive cancellation policies went out the window. Confirm with your airline and hotel about a credit or refund due to the virus.

    This hurts, but I understand.

    I had good seats too!

    Thank You Ed and everyone in the PJ organization!! This sucks, It's a hard decision, but the right one.

    Completely the right decision. I’d like to know what’s happening with tickets though. Will those of us with tickets be able to keep them and have guaranteed seats for the rescheduled shows?

    I don’t see these shows being rescheduled until next year. Any insight?

    I understand but dang. So I suspect this “first leg” includes Nashville and St. Louis. 
    Then I have tickets for London in July, so we will wait and see how events plays out in London.

    i've been saying people's reaction to this is overblown since the beginning. not just because it fucks my pearl jam plans. i'm sick of everyone going apeshit over stuff like this. it's stupid. media driven BS. and all because that fucktard in the white house can't wipe his own ass, nevermind get a proper response ready. 

    whatever. hopefully i'll be able to make it work, if it ever gets rescheduled. with this band, i have severe doubts.

    right move at this time. For me personally glad the decision to travel has been taken out of my hands.  This weekend I went back and forth on possibly traveling,  my thoughts kept coming back to two things: what if I get stuck in another city for extended time with sickness and worse what if I bring virus back from show and somehow in my circle loses someone because of my traveling.  Short term will be bummed but for the greater good it’s right move to cancel: this band has always been about the greater good. I for one stand behind the band and their management for this decision. See you in the fall

    Huge bummer but the right decision.  BTW - I just got off the phone with the Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.  Even though my reservation said non refundable, they are giving me a credit for one year on my deposit (when they could have made me eat the whole stay).

    How'about calming down a little? Throwing a temper tantrum isn't going to make things better. We are talking about a few rock concerts. Yes its PJ!, but a little perspective and care for others is a good thing.
