    Funny, I thought the same thing. Boston and NY will be sold out in a matter of minutes.

    BUT!!, they should still play the South!

    WEST PALM BAY is not SOUTH FLORIDA!

    I have a condo in Stuart like most CT yankees


    It's not? What do you consider South Florida then?

    And the 98 and 2000 shows in West Palm both had an extra night added to them so their history in Florida isn't all bad.

    west palm will sell out, maybe not through the 10C, because we all know they will announce more shows once they get enough people's money.

    I am from the Northeast now living in the South. I have been to shows in the both areas and I prefer the South. There are nothing but a bunch of obnoxious drunks at the shows in the NE. I get sick of the attitude that you are so much better then the South, that's why the populations in the NE are decreasing and the South is increasing.

    well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride! -Unknown

    Ummm no. It's because you can own real estate for 6 bucks down there.

    DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME IN THE SOUTH


    Play the northeast where there is the highest concentration of ten club members, and tickets will sell out in 5 minutes. seems like a no brainer to me.

    I'm from the south and I get on airplanes to go see PJ. Why don't you get off your ass and take a trip to WPB or Tampa?

    You might get too see a building that doesn't look old, grey, and shitty.

    Speaking for myself, I'm not going for several reasons.

    This is such a last minute announcement and pre-sale. I've already commited money to other more important things in life (I have two very young children); as well as paying and planning my vacations this summer, which I always do at this time of year. A couple of days notice of these tour dates is rather restrictive.

    So if I can somehow free up some cash and stay within my budget, I will attempt to find a ticket and make the Colonial Center show, in South Carolina.

    Or maybe somehow find a way to make one of the MSG shows.

    In 2003 the tour news came at a perfect time for me and my planning, in which I could combine my vacation and attend the MSG show, in the same trip up north; as well as attending the Charlotte, NC show.

    Not this year. The timing was way off and I really had no idea or suspicion they would be touring down here, this summer; or playing MSG.

    Some things in life are more important than Pearl Jam. I have no complaints.

    Just didn't work out for me, this time around. Maybe I'll get lucky and somehow find a way to make at least one of the shows. If not, that's life.

    There must be a NASCAR event on the day of the show. roflmao


    YEEEEEEHAAWWWWWWW!!!!!

    I lived most of my life in the North. Raised there.

    There are probably more NASCAR rednecks in the North, than in the South.

    I don't know about the other shows, but the LA shows from 2006 didn't sell out immediately either.

    But if we could somehow twist this (fairly common, evidently) occurrence to justify more Texas shows than Florida, Washington, and California shows, I would be all for it.

    That's funny as hell...and so true. I'm originally from up north and then from out west. The south is pretty cool...and a kickass place to see a PJ show.

    This is moronic. Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties (the majority of which are all within an hour's drive of Cruzan) have 1M more people than the entire state of Alabama.

    Maybe it is possible that Pearl Jam has worked out a deal where there is no limit to how many fanclub tickets can be purchased so like the MSG shows a few years ago it is possible that if people continue to buy until the ticketmaster sale begins the entire arena or most of it could be 10c members.
    what I was thinking....get as many PJ fans in there as possible...get closer to sell out. I HOPE MSG is like this...planning on DC and MSG X2 as I've worked both in Tampa and WPB.
