    I doubt that Wrigley would happen this year. They currently have 7 shows set for Wrigley, and they are only licensed for 4 concerts per summer, typically. Some of those are from previously cancelled years, so that's probably why they can go over the typical amount.  But I wouldnt think this would happen.

    If Wrigley is not available, then they should consider Great American ballpark in Cincinnati. Ed would probably get a kick out of the steamboat in the outfield bleachers.

    Yah, I don't see a ballpark show in Seattle in late October either.   I know it's got a roof that can open/close but late October gets into rainy/cold season up here in the PNW.  You don't usually see to many outdoors type shows (Even with a roof) past labour day.. maybe mid/late september on a rarity.   

    I think ballpark/stadium tours are more summer kind of things, than fall kind of things.

    If you can run a park for the World Series, you can run it for PJ. I used Nov 2nd as a cut off date (when the Cubs won Game 7 in Cleveland).
    • Mon. Oct 10th - Wed. Nov 2nd: Fenway Park is open (again, if you can have a World Series, you can have a PJ show... with free cocoa).
    • Mon. Oct 10th - Wed. Nov 2nd: Camden Yards is open.
    • Mon. Oct 10th - Wed. Nov 2nd: Citizens Bank Park is open.
    • Mon. Oct 10th - Wed. Nov 2nd: Wrigley Field is open.
    • Mon. Oct 10th - Wed. Nov 2nd: American Family Field (Miller Park, Milwaukee) is open. Retractable roof!
    • Mon. Oct 10th - Wed. Nov 2nd: T-Mobile Park (Safeco Field, Seattle) is open. Also has retractable roof!
    While Wrigley would be a little chilly, we've damaged the planet enough to where it's a possibility to run it in Mid-October. Feel free to swap out dates, or ball parks, but they could totally pull this off. No rumors to solidify, this is all pure speculation.




    This does not work at all. MLB does not allow a team to officially book concerts during October until their team is eliminated. None of those venues are open right now. At best, a team could commit to a show that would be announced later (this happened in 2003 when Springsteen ended his Rising Tour at Shea Stadium in October, the dates were known for months but couldn't be announced until the Mets were officially eliminated). Considering the Red Sox stand a strong chance of being in the playoffs, there is almost no way that could work as at the very minimum they will likely go deep into September before they would be eliminated.  Same thing with Milwaukee. The others at best, you'd be waiting deep into the season before those shows could be announced.

    Good point.

    There's no way ballparks are happening, IMO, given the complete lack of credible rumors. Anything's possible, sure, but it's pretty late to be announcing ballpark shows, no matter where they are.

    Agreed. I see a few ballparks and amphitheaters next year happening, while the album gets mixed.

    Finish the 2022 stuff, that keeps them busy until end of september.
    Back in the studio to work on and finish the album end of year, into 2023. 
    2023, festivals and ballparks. Hopefully some amphitheater shows.
    2024 comes tour for new album.

    There’s some shows that even have… cough cough…unsold tickets (never thought I’d type that phrase about Pearl Jam) and some with behind stage still not released. At this point they’d be shooting themselves in the foot adding hundreds of thousands of tickets in a run of stadiums when demand isn’t what it used to be pre Covid.

    That's certainly part of it, but the schedule just isn't as friendly, and there really isnt enough time to announce a major string of ballpark shows.  It seems with the Bourbon thing, they still have a few tricks left up their sleeve for this year...Ohana, and probably 1 or 2 other festivals, etc.  But Ballparks are not in the cards for this year.

    Also, I think the unsold tickets is more of a reflection of a concert that was announced with little lead up time....people just cant turn on a dime, we need to plan vacation, babysitters, etc...plus california is saturated with shows.

    Ohana announcing Monday is not going to help matters either for those California shows still not selling well.

    Maybe they will play USA Football stadium shows. Forget ballparks!

    Not just CA though.  Not a single US show is sold out.  Pretty soon we will be in small 5k theaters again!

    Most were in 2020 then the refunds. And now some of those seats are premium so that doesn't help

    It's also Covid.   I don't think Concert demand is anywhere near where it was pre-covid.  Not everyone feels comfortable going to large public events, so it's having an impact.

    Even for the local shows I'm going there they're struggling with selling tickets.   Obviously many of us have said fuck it, but many people haven't gotten their heads wrapped around it yet :(

    We just went to our first indoor show since COVID hit last month. That was a small theatre. Still haven't been in an arena.

    it may be were you live, but not anywhere near my hometown. People here moved on and honestly it's like it never happened. I guess most are educated enough to realize its here to stay and just deal with it like any other virus. Actually, I just read too much into it! haha. Haven't thought about it for months now.
