In 2023, I can barely imagine crossing the US for 10 days and catching a run of PJ shows....

It would be fun though

In 2000, wife and I did 8 shows in 12 days. It was glorious!

Those really were great times. Ticket prices and volume. Keep it to New England/New York and wind up seeing like 8 shows.

And you actually had over a 20% chance at tickets to those shows because they announced so damn many shows at once and people weren't coming from three continents.

There were definitely fewer fans traveling, but the big difference is that back then the 10c guaranteed you a pair of tickets to ONE SHOW PER TOUR. 2003 was the first tour that we could put in for an unlimited number of shows. As a consequence, the quality of 10c seats was much, much better in 2000.

So… I actually found that my seats improved after 2000. My first 10 club seats were in 98. Maybe people dropped out and I moved way up after the 2000 tour. But whatever the reason, my seats from 2003 through 2010 were pretty amazing. They’re still pretty good but they’ve gotten way tougher to get and they’ve moved back a little bit.

2003 they came up with the block system. That was an awful experience.

Uhmm I thought that was a good process! I scored tickets to both MSG shows, Uniondale, Penn state! The trick was to get to the ticket window early, MSG was different the 10C tickets were given out the day before the shows! Me and my brother in law took the train into Manhattan went across the street from MSG got tickets and they had a seating chart so off course we looked at our seats, I had front row for both nights!

Unless your town ran out of index cards and money orders you were set

The block system year I was behind Peter Gammons in the 10C line so it wasn't a total disaster

mcgruff10 · February 2023

The block system was awful. (FYI, it started in 2000

PJNB · February 2023

Some one must of been talking to some crew members and got some info on a tour this year. If so lets hear it!

I don't know about you, but when I click on the ACL festival website and I see the icon figure on the bottom left corner, it kinda reminds me of the PJ stick figure. Hmmmmmm.

Did they actually use that g-word (guarantee?) or was that just the assumption due to fewer fans, more shows and a limit of one show per member?

The block didn't help anyone actually score. Getting to the window earlier just meant moving up in the pre-assigned block.

I've seen a system that they could try:
Starting with the lowest number, everyone is assigned a window...every few hours, a few more thousand people are welcome to buy.

Example:
1-50,000 go Monday at 9am.
50001-100,000 go Monday at 11pm.
100,001-150,000 go Monday at 1pm.
150,001-200,000 go Monday at 3pm.
And so forth. Time zones could even be "local venue time."

Two tickets per member per show. As many shows as someone wants.

Use fan2fan to re-sell for face value only.

People can select their actual seats (or pit).

New Feature: You can sit beside your friends with higher numbers, BUT the highest member number must be eligible before the entire group buys. Example: Members 68,721 and 121,912 must wait for 200,909 to be eligible before the group can buy...BUT 3-6 friends would be seated together. If someone wanted to sit on Mike's side or Stone's or behind the stage, it'd be possible. Obviously, one area might be closer or further back, depending on demand. Maybe you're taking a kid and want an aisle seat or you know the venue and want a seat near the bar...it'd all be possible.

My buddy and I did 10 shows in 14 days on the 2000 tour (Cincy to Camden). It was the best two weeks of my life. Used fanclub tix for Cincy and Saratoga. Sort of random. And got the rest pretty cheap. The good ol days.

Yes your correct I meant the way tickets were given out! It’s always been a crap shoot trying to score tickets! I didn’t mind it

Rumors?

Rumors?

Only for Foo Fighters fans. They just announced shows in Guilford, NH, Rogers Arkansas and Pelham, Alabama

Has PJ ever played NH, AR or AL?

My rumor is that if nothing is announced by mid-March you can rule out summer gigs and we are on to fall.

When would you expect an announcement for a tour that overlaps both seasons?

This band prides itself on giving as little notice as possible so if no ball parks, I would guess June/July for late summer/fall dates unless a festival appearance forces an earlier announcement.
