I will say they did a worse job than almost any band that I can think of with rescheduling or canceling shows. I don’t know all the reasons and some of them might very well be very good. It’s been frustrating but we will have dates probably by early next week and that’s a very good thing. 

Stop it. That talk is not allowed here. 😉

Trying to decide which language I like the best for future use. “Forthcoming album,” “early 2022,” or “coming days.”  I’ll decide after we define “coming days,” but if the past is a sign of things to come, “coming days” could mean a LOT of things. 

as long as it is “Big, Bold, and Free” all will be forgiven.

Thanks appreciate not having to read through everything, although usually pretty entertaining.

Also some complaining and temper tantrums. Few people got offended and then one person on his soap box and won’t get down.

Would Vegas just be a 1 night deal?  Dying to see PJ in Vegas but the rumored May 20th is a playoff round for my lacrosse team. Unless we get bounced before then. Win Win lol

I'm getting to the point that I think TM resale should be enabled so we fans can at least have the option to resell their tickets and get compensation for their loyalty and frustration (and 2+ years of interest).

@Clapper please don't respond, I already know you think PJ can do no wrong and fans are entitled to nothing but a refund.  S'all good.

Imagine tagging someone and saying “please don’t respond”. You’re definitely the guy who licks his plate clean at a restaurant and then asks for his money back because it didn’t taste good.  The band can do plenty of wrong.  I just can’t believe actual adult humans think a band that postponed a tour because of a plague think they are entitled to anything other than the two options they’ve been given  of a rescheduled show or your money back. One or the other  makes people whole. The mention of interest on money you’ve been offered to have refunded repeatedly is hilarious. Please compensate me for my choices!   Thinking you’re entitled to anything other than the show or the refund  isn’t even delusional. It’s straight up Concert Karen loser shit.  

Please tag me again when you start your “official petition to play my back yard on the date of my choosing  because the band didn’t check with me  to see if the tour schedule works for me it’s not faaaaaaaaair” thread. 

But, but, but band x announced shows! So?

But, but, but I like to travel to shows and want to plan my travel! So?

But, but, but their schedule doesn’t work with my work/kids/life/vacation schedule! So?

But,but, but I liked the old dates better! So?

But, but, but I decided Covid wasn’t a thing anymore like 6 months ago!  So?

But, but, but I held on to my tickets for 2 years! So? 

But, but, but I’ve been a fan since 1991! So?

Please fill me on any of those items that are any band’s problem. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.  It’s transactional. We pay money, they give us music.  That’s it, that’s the deal.  Shelling out a few bucks gets a couple hours of their time.  It doesn’t not get you part ownership and it doesn’t entitle to a penny more than what you paid for.  

Stay mad

This might be the best post on the 204+ page thread so far.  Thank you for posting this!

Got my attention 

Sorry, my attempt at a joke didn’t stick the landing.  I would do anything for a proper Austin show though. 

I've been over here like, "Maybe they do Dallas on 9/18, then OKC on 9/20 and Denver on 9/22?"

I'm sorry, anyone who sides with Clapper and is boosting this post as a good post is completely jaded and lost the actual Spirit of a Pearl Jam concert.  If you just view it as a transaction, then I am truly sorry for you and where you have landed in life.  You should probably skip the upcoming tour as you will definitely miss the Magic and the Wonder and Awe of it all.  If these shows are nothing more than a transaction, then you will miss the Passion and the Power that other people still feel.  Those are the people who are on the side of right in this battle for our souls.  You can try to beat people down and make them sound so small and stupid, but they are the ones who will enjoy the shows the most.  We won't, in fact, We CAN'T view this as a transaction, this is food for our souls and a religious experience.  These shows are not transactions, they are the feeling of Christmas morning.  They are connecting with friends both new and old.  They are reliving past triumphs and toasting to future conquests.

You can view the Pearl Jam concert the same as paying for parking, I flatly refuse to view it this way.

I will view it as thousands of my closest friends communing together in a spirit of Joy and Love and Peace, and actually making the world a better place for a few hours.

But, hey, live and let live and to each their own.  I appreciate your post Clapper, as it was able to clarify and magnify my own views.

Pluralone is now listed with PJ on ticketmaster for some shows (Nashville) but not others (St Louis). I don't remember seeing that earlier and maybe ticketmaster has not updated all the shows yet. It's been so long I can't remember, are they opening at all shows?
