    criticize me all you want but this band never cancelled shows over people dying of cancer or drug overdoses which have killed more than this virus...im starting to think that some of us grew up and away from this band and started to think for ourselves

    they announce 2 new festivals today but cancelled the spring tour??? Oh please tell me how that makes sense when festivals have a higher rate of virus transfers and supposedly during those festival times the rates of infection are supposed to be at a higher rate if you believe that farce???

    Buehler? Buehler?



    because cancer and drug overdoses arent infectious diseases with high mortality rates. 

    it amazes me you can be this dense. 


    What is odd is that NO ONE can put 2 and 2 together and notice that the band adds two festival dates at a time that the CDC and other entities has said that the virus would be at a peak at the end of this year but the band announces festivals on two coast that would have waaaaaaaay more people that the show they cancelled??? But they are worried about the virus??? am I the only one that gets this makes ZERO sense

    Santa Clara county has just banned large gatherings over 1000 people.  Looks like a lot more cancellations and postponements coming.

    you realize those festivals are months away, right? it makes perfect sense that they assume those will be able to go ahead as planned as long as containment is at a decent level.

    Why don't you ask your dad the well-known doctor about the risk of catching cancer or drug overdoses at a Pearl Jam concert and see what he says? 

    On the topic of festivals, most likely they're contractually obligated to not say anything. Festivals typically reserve that right for their own management.

    Or, you're right, it's a liberal Pearl Jam conspiracy to make Trump look bad, at the expense of a postponed tour. That's definitely the more logical conclusion. 
    I dont care about Trump...I really dont but the fact they announce festival dates then cancell a Spring tour when if you believe the virus hype would have a way more profound affecnt on people at a festival scale...oh but wait Ed runs the Ohana festival in liberal California where im sure they will give out vaccinations lol

    have you read any of the world reports? the height of the virus (if you believe it) is during those festival times

    I was expecting this.  At the rate things are going probably the best call.  Wish I had refundable airfare although I think Air Canada is working with passengers.  A few days in San Francisco isn't the end of the world.

    I’m disappointed about the announcement but this thread is SO entertaining right now!
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    It’s sad with some of the responses on here. The band made the right call. Some of you need to have your heads examined. It’s a concert, they will make it up. People’s safety should be #1. What happened to basic human compassion?

    As a person with multiple health issues thanks for making that tough decision. I will miss having the energy recharge me, but glad the decision was taking out of my hands. Sorry for those who have made travel plans, but the weight of this health crisis is too heavy for the band to take on.

    I’d love a little more reassurance that our tickets are still valid.  Maybe just one more sentence? Am I the only one who feels like this? 
    Yes you must be. The announcement said your tickets will be honored on the new date.

    i personally think it's an overreaction.

    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.
    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. 

    Agree 100% on this...I would boycott any company that tried to pull this shit.

    Hey Man - STOP with the trolling and comparing HIV, Drug Overdoses and Cancer deaths to concerts being postponed due to a virus that we're all still learning about.  Get a grip you're offensive AF and your posts should be deleted by the mods.
