People spent a shit ton of money on these shows.

Maybe they'll learn their lesson.

i'd be willing to bet that at least one person in the world took out a second mortgage just to go on this entire tour

Spoiler: show

This is still frustrating to me

If you're going to tweet this, don't take the stage at 8 o clock

It was uneccesary. It caused congestion getting in. People were pissed off waiting in their seat for 90 minutes. If they said nothing, most would have been in their seats by 7:30 anyway.

Same thing happened Seattle N2 and Missoula.

Were they unaware ? Was there no communication? Do you think Fenway lied and didn’t speak to the band? If that’s the case could Pearl Jam have not said it wasn’t true?

The fact is it was strictly advertised to get there early because the band would be starting early. I didn’t believe it but even still I was shocked that they said that and didn’t start until 8. It only makes people mad. With the curfew it makes them feel like they got cheated. And the only reason they have their expectations is because tweets like that create them.

Maybe it’s totally on Fenway but knowing that they were advertising this why could the band not try to honor it?

pearl jam sucks now

[mikejasond]

maybe it's just a safe way to make sure 40,000 people make it through drunken traffic on election day in time for a rock concert that's really starting at 8pm

And yet the arena was full for like an hour before they went on. Did they have something better to do ? It’s not like they were waiting for the arena to fill. I’d understand if they were but the people were ready ages before. It really comes off like they don’t care

it's great that people were in the venue earlier than anticipated, but they can't just say "ooh, let's start an hour early!" there's production crew, vendors, security, all these moving parts that have been operating on a regimented schedule since 8am.

now, it WOULD be nice if Ed came out for a pre-set or something, this i will grant you

True, but that schedule probably said “show starts at 6:30” like the tickets

[Monkey_Driven]

I don't really get the big deal about the ticket start times and actual start times. Big acts have been doing this for years.

Most venues don’t have the same curfew as a high school sophomore

And yet, they still played 30 songs each night.

[mikejasond]

I also think there are better ways to handle that situation than straight up lying. Especially
because now they’ve lost those fans trust. I know I won’t be there on time next time no matter what they say. If they ever did want to start early nobody would believe them. It’s the boy who cried wolf.

Maybe but they don’t always go out of their way to tell you that the band will be taking the stage on time so be there early

[E.H. Ruddock]

Except if they did start early it would be you missing out, not them

People drink/hang out until the last minute. Would cause a huge congestion problem if everyone is cramming into these stadiums at the same time. This spreads it out and gives some concession money to the venue.
