Drove by the moody center early this morning while I'm in town for work...

That place is pretty small for a pearl jam show... Not going to be an easy ticket either..

For the first shows in Texas in a decade they could have picked some larger venues.... With 10-15 dates on this tour, ticket draws and on sales aren't going to be easy....

As per a college basketball podcast I listen to, it was built to be very small and intimidate (10k?) for basketball. The joke was also that it was designed by Matthew McConaughey. The arena at San Diego State was incredible and I hope it is a similar size. 

The Moody Center hosted two regular season Spurs games this past season.  It is bigger than the Erwin Center and the arena at San Diego State.

This is false.  Erwin center was bigger.  Moody center is smaller.

I’m 7ft. Am I an asshole to try for GA tickets lmao 👀🤔

You can't help it. You've gotta live your life.And this is coming from someone who's been impacted by people like you my whole life. I'm only 5' 7". 

I do remember this one time, it was my very first trip to the Hollywood Bowl years ago, I had lucked out and scored 3rd row, dead-center seats. This was before they started having a GA/Pit in the Pool Circle. The stage was super low, and the seats went right up to the stage (there was no barrier). I show up thinking I'm sitting pretty. It was awesome. Then, just as the band took the stage, the person sitting directly in front of me shows up. He's 7ft. I literally can't see shit. So, I offer him $100 to switch seats with me, figuring it wasn't going to have any impact on his view. He just turns around and tells me to fuck off. Which, is his right to do. He earned those seats. He can't help it if he's that tall. He's under no obligation to accommodate me. But I still thought he was an asshole for telling me to fuck off. lol

Not sure why I felt the need to tell that story. But it's not like we have much else to talk about here until we get more info.

was excited to look at new rumors this morning. As usual its off topic. This time for a 7 foot guy. Isn't there somewhere else to discuss these things?

Since there is no news and only fan speculation, it has run off on tangents. We are entertaining ourselves amidst the lack of real information.

I refuse to believe that "big things" is a 9 show tour over 5 cities. Or 10 shows in 6 cities if you want to count Ed's performance at Ohana. It either has to mean more tour dates or an album. 

But it's not like this band has ever said "hey, here are some shows we're doing in September, but don't worry, we're doing a bunch more after that!"  I suppose a new album would be considered big news too. But you'd think there would be more shows if that were the case. I can't foresee a scenario where only a percentage of shows get leaked and not the rest? So weird

Someone mentioned that dimi said it would be 15 shows. If that's the case, then yes, it is weird that we only know of 9.

9 and 6 in Australia…Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Auckland NZ. 

or maybe it's Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Portland, Seattle, Seattle
