I'd like to point out that said management is, if not endorsing, at least allowing an early look at this tour info on their official message board. It would be very easy for them to delete any and all posts with credible info leaked. The alternative is straight radio silence until an official announcement so pick what you want. (I like this scenario.)

i also like it but something has changed in the way they announce tours and to fans that travel it sucks to have things announced so late

How much time do you need to make travel plans? Honest question.

usually 6-7 months for flights is pretty good. the closer u get , the more expensive flights become.

the way they used to announce (europe in december) was perfect because the flights were very affordable and it was the end of the year as flights among other things always get more expensive when a new year starts.

I can only speak for Domestic flights in the USA, but flights tend to start out very high, then continue to drop until the 2 month or so mark, and then go up again as the day gets closer

I think I read somewhere that someone ran the numbers, and 56 days out is actually the cheapest average day to buy a ticket for domestic flights

Doesn't work like that where I live, there's only one company flying to Barcelona and prices just go higher and higher as the date approaches. Flights are now around 250€, in one month they'll be around 300€ and 2 months before the date they can be reaching 600€ or even 900€ (basic fare).

We’ve had that 2/13 date since November. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be annoyed that that’s the plan, but you’ve had 2 months to make your peace with that annoyance and move forward. It’s strange to me to get freshly mad every time something doesn’t happen that there’s no reason to have expected to happen. If we don’t have an announcement when we wake up on Valentines Day then yeah we’ll all get mad together. But until then we all know what’s up.

There was never a rumored date - in PJ history, of course - set three months before it started circulating. If they already knew about the concerts in November, why not announce them?

Marketing, thats the only reason

It will most likely be one big mega announcement on 2/13. "World Tour! New songs! New album! Pearl Jam!!!"

Nothing more than a way to get the hype train going for PJ among the more casual fans

yeah unfortunally that seems to be the plan

I get that its tough for Europe plans, and that the heads up will be shorter than in years past.

But many people have been asking for them to announce the entire year all at once, so I am happy they are finally taking that route.

Refundable tickets?

Casually put it on the floor and move out of the spill radius before it's accidentally kicked over

Basic fare means no modifications or cancellations allowed. Refundable tickets right now cost 800€. Those can be over 1500 in a couple of months.

I'll take a leaked rumor list months early any day over the excruciating last minute announcement where no one knows anything like the rescheduled 2020 shows. This is way better than waiting until February knowing absolutely nothing about 2024 plans.

Counterpoint: there was never a leak in PJ history as early as this one, isn’t it cool that we get a heads-up earlier than ever?
And just because we’ve never been tipped off this early doesn’t mean the band doesn’t always know this early. It’s possible the only timetable that’s different this year is the leak

Was thinking the same.

Counterpoint : leaks for europe always happen around the same time.

What about changeable even if not refundable?

One of the indirect positives from COVID in the US is the ability to easily cancel with no fees and apply the funds toward future purchases. One of the big reasons I used to use Southwest more.

And the reason SWA is the best in my area cause you never lose any money or points

There's no changeable fare for the suposed dates in Barcelona. Maybe there were before but not now

I do believe he told some stories from the early days about just that and using a bucket backstage if I recall.
He said medication and diet had gotten it under control since (paraphrasing from memory).

Yes, i believe one incident was during the tour they were opening for the Rolling Stones.

JK109224 · January 2024

If Live Nation is in charge of this in NA/Europe/Australia then they'll hold details back as long as possible and promote the sh*t out of the tour and album when info drops. Still a wait.

My cousin has it and manages it the same. Flares up but looking after himself better than he was helps. He does still hit the sherbet a bit too much though. Matt's at least insane enough to keep the crowd entertained with a drum solo and have them none the wiser-I'm sure they have a code word or something so he can bail. Feel for guys who give it absolutely everything on stage yet are at the mercy of mother nature like that. Such a GC too is Mike.

Wondering which is the big reveal the listening party or 13 Feb.

Dont forget that "we" are like 100 persons that are really interested in knowing the dates before the anouncement.

95% of the public that attend shows are normal people who will be happy to see the oficial anouncement and buy the tickets. Like we do with the other bands.

So we are really not important.
