    If they can not sell out Florida, South/North Carolina how does Alabama or Texas or others expect to get a show?

    It's terrible.

    I suggest you take your chances with Ticketmaster for MSG tickets.

    Plus, it's really hot in Tampa in June.

    I thought why fight the chaos that was the MSG purchase knowing you have a pretty high # and most likely would be 40th row or high on the sides. High? hold on...wait a minute...yeah...probably that too:D

    So we decided to take our chances at great seats to Tampa/WPB. Booked flights today and rent a car tonight.

    Aye O Let's Go!


    dont get me wrong... my friend got MSG1 but not MSG2... we are also going to Camden... it is close enough for us... but i have a really good feeling about Tampa... my 10c# is 321xxx and his is lower... so, i think we should be ok...

    should be a great time...

    My guess is that the populations of places like NY greatly exceed the populations of places like SC. Of course, we would like to see some live shows just like anyone else without having to drive for hours or book flights and hotels. PJ has fans down here, too...just not as many because there aren't as many people down here in the first place. I'd say percentage wise the fanbase is probably the same.

    What the fuck does this even mean? What kind of a band wouldn't play Texas because their fanclub didn't sell out in Florida? What kind of logic are you working on here?
    None of these threads make any sense. Do you think when someone in Texas says "Play the South" they mean fucking South Carolina? That might as well be NYC where I'm at, it's still thousands of miles away. I'm pretty sure most of us want shows within at least driving distance.
    I can't believe I'm even responding to these dumbass posts. All this has proven is that there are idiots on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.

    When I think of the South it is South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Texas is it's own shithole that doesn't really fit as the true South. However, Texas could easily sell out some shows. Dallas and Houston are both in top 10 population wise.

    If there's a "Play the Shithole that is Texas" petition, I'll sign the mofo.

    Does Mississippi even have a music arena? I don't know if I've ever seen a tour shirt from any band with a Mississippi date on it. Any MS PJ fans out there?

Maybe the boys shouldve booked a small club in florida instead????? but ya know what MoonTurtle? NO ONE is ever satisfied!!! either way, IM happy for all of the people that have been waiting and BELIEVING for shows near them!
