Cancellation Notice for Amsterdam Night 1

hello,
I had tickets for the first day since 2019, it cost me a lot to get the trip because of the flights, the price and everything that goes with it. In the end I went to Amsterdam for nothing, and yes the city is beautiful and everything is great, but the only purpose of going there was to SEE PEARL JAM!! otherwise I wouldn't have gone. I'm a little sad and disappointed, after seeing the videos of today's concert, yesterday's cancellation seems very strange in relation to Eddie's voice. I love Pearl Jam, but I recognize that the ways of doing things have not been the best, yesterday's cancellation causes me a lot of confusion and I have taken it as a lack of respect towards the fans, but well, it has been the rage of the moment I believe that their reasons would have had to act like this and I hope they return to Europe soon because they owe us. 😝, .

Going to guess all the nasty comments are not going unseen..

Look, let me be clear I totally feel bad for ticket holders with these last minute cancellations. And I AGREE that this could and SHOULD be handled better. 100%. 1 hour before the show is just not acceptable.

Now, all that being said, there are A LOT of worse lives out there than being stuck in cities like Prague and Amsterdam. Two of my favorite cities in Europe. People are on here complaining about "wasting" money on flights...well is it a "waste" because now you are "stuck" in Prague or Amsterdam? I get the disappointment, I do, but there's people in the world who would love to go anywhere near those places and will never get a chance to make it there. If you were able to even make it over to Prague or Amsterdam I think there's worse things that have happened in this world than you being able to spend a couple of nights there. I'm not saying people can't be sad or disappointed, because I sure would be, but lets not act like even being in that situation is not a privilege. Look around and make the most of the situation. Amsterdam is an amazing city...and quite frankly you could have traveled to Sacramento and been stuck there for a cancelled show. Some of the reactions here are a little over the top and quite frankly as tone deaf as anything the band's management can or has put out. Life is short and fragile and for many people you'll probably never meet just horrible...enjoy even being in place like a Prague or Amsterdam and put your disappointment in perspective. All i'm saying. 

Hope eddie feels better. Shitty how this Album release and now tour is going. Kills us all and I'm sure the band the most.

Totally fair to look at it as privileged. BUT even though I like Amsterdam I don't give a shit about which city I'm stuck in! This trip is all about the concerts - had there not been concerts here I wouldn't have used my money and time being here now. Those money won't come back, my vacation time can't be used elsewhere. Booked and rebooked this three times and now it's just wasted. So I think it's amazing that some people can make lemonade from lemons, but I for one am just absolutely gutted - and yes, I will try to have a decent time today, but I mostly just wanna go back home and put this shit show behind me

I think it's totally unfair to look at it as privileged.  The guy has no idea what people have gave up to be there, and no idea what impact a cancelled show might have on someone.

Making assumptions on someone's situation and then saying enjoy, there and people in worse situations is insensitive at the very least.

THANK YOU for finally saying like it is.

Unlike the majority i go to see the concert , the city is a plus. i dont do meet ups so i could really care less about parties and stuff.

the enjoy the city , go out , everything is fine is such a privileged statement , usually by someone who goes to multiple shows per tour and doesnt have financial problems at all to be able to be "just fine" missing a couple shows.

To some people only doing one show is a special occasion and one they take as a very special moment and not "only one more show" , so those entitled fans which btw while im ranting are the ones who buy multiple posters and stickers and pins to make a profit afterwards to afford the next tour , yeah i fucking said it and we all know deep down this is what is really happenning in the merchanding department can really take a good look and put things in the true perpective of a normal human being and why people (like myself) were devastated after vienna , to be honest still am , because i was so looking forward to it.

Sad to have missed night 2. Had the opportunity to purchase some tickets before the cancellations however turned them down as didn't want to mess work around and would have had to rebook flights for a day later. So glad for those who got to witness night 2. Do we know how Eddie sounded?
