Sorry for you guys that fought furiously on F2F to get those Baltimore tickets. Watching the triumphs and close calls was pretty exciting stuff. Hopefully they can take care of you somehow with a different venue or something else to make sure you get a show.

They should just give Baltimore ticket holders a presale code to which they can select tickets to any show with availability. 48-72 hours to pick, one time code, which happens before the public re-onsale.

I like this, but what about GA. Assuming that’s all filled up.

That's for Pearl Jam to figure out

No system will ever be perfect - but if there's GA available, then have at it! If no GA available for a show that someone wants, then people still get a shot at their pick of seats before the frenzy. It's still better than what any other band would do. Any other band would cancel the show and call it a day.

Plus, that doesn't even account for all of the people who held onto their tickets that could end up with worse seats than people who buy from the new onsale...

Thinking of @Saltzy23 - moment of silence for those who fought hard during the F2F battle.

I’m a huge advocate for traveling for PJ shows, but it’s definitely the case that most people don’t want to do that, and would not consider the opportunity to buy tickets for shows in other markets to be a palatable remedy here.

Just add a local date near Bmore as a replacement and give Bmore ticket holders first grabs at seats. (DC, Eaglebank at George Mason, Merriweather in MD or Philly) None of these are Baltimore but I would still go.

Still pretty crazy that it took that long to officially announce the Baltimore cancelation.

bbiggs · February 2022

I still firmly believe PJ will not announce anything until EV's tour is done. And I still hope to be proven wrong.

Agree here. Plenty of good venues in the bmore/DC area.

Agreed, maybe we get a small tease in this week's email

Makes you think that the Apollo show is still on, though. Have to believe that all shows that couldn't be rescheduled would have been deemed "canceled" at the same time.

Also, they'll be back to Baltimore soon enough after the renovation. They play enough shows on the east coast that it shouldn't be too hard to make this one up in 2023, 2024, whenever it is.

I agree with all of that as well. If people don't want to travel, then they still get their money back. As much as cancelling a show sucks, I think it should be noted that the band has no obligation to make up a cancelled date (as nice as it would be for something to happen for the lovely folks of Baltimore and surrounding area.)

Brings back bad memories, was one caller away from winning a set of Apollo tickets

Yeah. I don't know if we will ever see a Raleigh show at this rate. Fortunately, I think Baltimore has a much better shot just due to the proximity of locations they have played pretty heavily in the past.

Just got the email from Ticketmaster (since I lost out via Ten Club and had to splurge on a Vitalogy Foundation ticket through Ticketmaster). It included the same blurb from the site news above, plus a note about automatic refunds: "The good news is that no action is required to obtain a refund. It will be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, in as soon as 30 days."

Leezestarr313 · February 2022

Baltimore was the only one we had tickets for. We kept hanging onto them and looking forward to hear the new stuff live eventually. Sigh. I think my f5 finger is rusty after such a long time of no ticket buying. Hopefully another date and city will work for us.

lmckenney24 · February 2022

On the positive side to this, the refund pays for my (or anyone else who has/is attending EV shows) ticket and leaves $10 left over for beer. Not really a consolation prize, but i'll spin it that way.

JimmyV · February 2022

Bring on the Fenway announcement.

Sorry to hear this! Bummer for everyone that was planning on going to this show. Hope they make it up or you're all able to go to a different show.
