I got tickets for LA, but struck out on Ten Club for MSG, and got nothing for the verified presale. Which means I will be StubHubbing for yet another NY show, which is frustrating.

Not even a chance for me to try and get MSG or Baltimore. In the queue waiting...

I really HATE that you can't even ATTEMPT to try when they actually go on sale anymore. I NEVER had any issues when the onsales started and I just had to select how many tickets I wanted.

I guess I'll try when they open up this fan to fan resale thing in a few weeks.

Sucked for me too.

Fuck it... I bought some side stage tickets for Quebec... 8 hour drive... I'll make a weekend out of it. Hopefully it doesn't drop a shit ton of snow.

I’m waiting out the second leg of the tour as there’s really no shows near me. I’d be willing to drive if they were somewhat close. One of the bad parts about being in the Midwest. I won’t be surprised if they don’t come near me though as it seems like if you don’t live along the coasts they rarely make it my way aside from like Chicago being closest (which would still be a long ass drive for me).

Where do you live?

Mike86

Northeast South Dakota. I could do Canada possibly, but then I’d have to get a passport and stuff too. Plus that would still be a longer drive. Easiest place for me to see them is the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, which even there they rarely tour (I think when I saw them in 2014 it was the first time in like a decade or so).

I decided against trying to go to Hamilton. It's the closest that they're coming to me on this leg, and the distance really isn't that bad, but it's in the middle of the week and I may be starting a new job soon and don't know if i could get the time off necessary to do something like that so soon after starting. If if was on a weekend I would probably go for it. As it stands I will just wait it out to see if there's another leg to be added. I'd really like to see them again though, haven't seen them since Binaural.

Yikes. My apologies.

Do you ever try to go to Omaha for things?

Mike86

It’s not a hip city by any means where I live. Our population is about 30,000. Not big but also not really tiny either. It’s low key here, which I’m okay with truthfully. Only problem is that entertainment is limited and most of these kinds of things I have to travel for.

I can make it to Omaha fairly easily. It’s only slightly longer of a drive than Minneapolis/St. Paul, which is like 5-5 1/2 hours. I went there for Green Day back in like 2008. I’m not sure that Pearl Jam makes it there either.

There actually is a newer arena in a city a few hours south of me in the same state which has been getting some bigger shows. I kinda doubt Pearl Jam makes it there either though. Colorado is within driving distance too I suppose, but it would be like double the time of Minneapolis/St. Paul or Omaha.

Been wanting to see these guys for years and I was able to get tickets, shitty tickets for Phoenix but I’ll be seeing them. I like the new single as well

JeremyM

I'm in Omaha. They hit Lincoln on their last tour (as did I). I am hopeful, but I kind of doubt they make it to Omaha this go around.

Mike86

It’s unfortunate as I don’t think they really give the midwest states much love. It seems to always be more of the coastal states where they tour. I’d love to be a Pearl Jam fan who could say I’ve seen multiple shows as they’re a great live band and play varied set lists. I’ve considered making trips to bigger cities if I could work it around a vacation or whatever, but that’s not always easy either.

Mike86

New single dropped. It’s called Superblood Wolfmoon. Interesting title. Haven’t listened to it yet.

JeremyM

They stole my band name.

Guess I'll steal back and go with Mookie Blaylock then.

Mike86

new song is pretty good. More of a rocker.

Rival11

I heard Pearl Jam is changing their band name to "Mouse Rat" soon.

I laughed...

PJ announced they're playing at a festival about 30 mins from me. Of course... after I planned a trip to Quebec.

Motherfucker

I was just coming to post that. I'll post it in the main Covid-19 thread, too. This is insane.

emanon

Yeah, sucks. Booked my St, Louis hotel through hotwire, and it looks to be non-refundable. I think we'll go and make nice weekend of it anyway, assuming the world doesn't end first.

Aw man, you jinxed it!
