Do you take into account Pearl Jam later cancellations this tour?

    If I travel for a show, I arrange it assuming the show will be cancelled. i.e. flight cancellation insurance and no pre-paid/no cancellation hotel bookings. Also, I would never plan to see a show in a city I wouldn't want to visit anyway, in case it gets cancelled after I'm there. Either way, awesome vacation.
    There aren't many cities I wouldn't enjoy visiting at least once.
    The problem is planning a short trip over a short weekend. Its going to cost us $1000 easily to go to chicago for a weekend with travel and hotels.  While I do enjoy Chicago, I wouldn't plan a $1000 weekend vacation there. 
    If I'm going to spend $1000 just on traveling without a show, I'll pick somewhere less expensive and extend our stay somewhere, get a 5 day trip instead of just a 2 day trip out of it, or somewhere I haven't been before.
    But those usually aren't option if I plan it around a PJ show. Many of the shows are repeat cities, and I'm restricted by the dates on which I can chose as well.

    My hope is that they learn to adapt without one of the members - someone multi-talented like Josh who can fill in for just about anyone except for Eddie if he had to. 
    Have Black Circle from Brazil open for them. Have a member of PJ get sick? Plug one of those guys in, they seem to have their songs down pretty well. I am kidding, sort of.

    It goes both ways, too. My original plan last year had been St. Paul 2 and then both Chicago shows. Chicago fell through and that turned out lucky because I came home from Minnesota with COVID. Never would have made it through the doors of the United Center, either night.

    If I am traveling far to see them I try to plan a trip around it. When I went to Prague in 2022 I planned to travel around the Czech Republic for 10 days - so Pearl Jam was just going to be one day of that vacation. I was bummed about the cancellation but had a great time touring around Prague and some other cities in the area.

    Is anyone bringing their trail running shoes just in case?

    No, but I'm kind of happy Vancouver is the start of the tour :)  Hopefully if the rails go off the tour it's after those shows :)

    The part I am concerned about is the Canucks are having a decent year.  Historically, most of the time, they'd choke in the playoffs, but I think they only have to get the 2nd round to start conflicting with the Pearl Jam dates.   Given I have to book time off work, hotels etc.. I hope the dates don't get moved.

    Fingers cross the 'nucks bow out early :)

    ?????  Take that back! Think positive, the nucks are winning in the playoffs and they play the 5th and 7th!,

    Definitely. After the money I spent on shows last tour and Indy being cancelled the day of it is a concern. Especially with the prices of everything.

    Why was Indy cancelled?

    Don't worry about cancellations due to lost voices, ill health, etc, as the Pearl Jam Hologram Tour isn't too far away. Nosebleed tickets start at £450 (plus handling fees).

    I’m a little concerned about this as well, especially since I’ve already booked my flight. But I’m thinking/hoping the day off in between makes this a non-issue.

    I'm guessing all of that was taken into account when scheduling these shows; importantly the days off between them 👍

    Would they do that?  Tear down the stage, play a hockey game in between, and rebuild the stage?  I guess that's an option.  Poor roadies :)

    I'm not buying the covid/flu excuse.
    I still believe its because Mike broke his stool in Chicago and Amazon's 2 day shipping for the replacement was delayed.

    It would be no different than setting up for 1 night in 2 different cities. Don't see why they wouldn't if they really wanted a day off in between, or no back to back dates were available.
