I'm going to either Seattle or Fenway. Unfortunately, a flight from Scranton to Seattle to Missoula to Scranton is over $1,000. That's too much for a domestic flight. I would have wanted to go to those 3 shows. I love Chicago, but I've travelled there 3 times in the past 5 years. It's crazy that Wrigley will likely be the easy ticket this time around.

Very much been there done that.
I live in Milwaukee so it’s an hour train ride but it’s just not that appealing.
The thought of reserved seats and using my number is worth the flight

Just curious as to how popular Missoula would be?

Not interested at all in these dates. Not in a place in my life right now where I can justify the expense and trip.

could baseball playoffs screw up any of these dates?

Nope.

could the presence of pearl jam fans screw up any of these dates?

Yep

What's your 10C number? If it's really low, let's be friends!

I expect the odds to be low, but it'll probably be a popular Choice #3 for many attending the Seattle shows.

boston is labor day weekend, sounds like a hassle flying then.

Could go either way with Missoula.

It's quite the road trip to get out there. Sometimes demand isn't that high in the West for the shows that are way out of the way. Even Vancouver ticket demand doesn't tend to be that high.

I know demand now is higher, but '98 we bought 10c tickets for Missoula show. Back then 10c would put a warning you might not get the show you want, so pick another choice just in case. Then they'd mail you the tickets (and you wouldn't find out until after the onsale). So we called the Missoula box office after they'd been on sale for a few hours, and also snagged a pair of GA tickets off the phone. I think the demand for the arena show in missoula was so high because of how small it was. Grizzly stadium is alot bigger.... I don't think it'll be superhard to get tickets.

Personally I'm curious as what to expect from Seattle. The 2013 arena show was the hardest one yet to get tickets too. That being said it had things working against it. They only played the one show. They split the tour into seperate lotteries, so people from the East Coast to go to their East Coast shows, and then have another #1 pick for Seattle. So many east coasters at that show. Now they kind of have to choose between Chicago/Boston/Seattle. Plus the venue is way bigger, plus there's two shows.

My prediction, The Wednesday show won't be horrible to get 10c tickets too.... The Friday show will be the bigger demand one.

I am hoping Fenway demand will be diminished due to it was done already and no GA

My only hope for Fenway is that people will already have things they do over Labor Day weekend. But if those Boston shows are the only shows in the Northeast Corridor it could be a total mess trying to get a ticket. Too many fans crammed into an area that is easy to travel through.

Yeah, logistics make Missoula a no-go for me. If it gets postponed a day for rain or smoke (or whatever they get up there) you are out $$$. Fenway has the advantage of including the "next to last show", and historically Boston gets the best shows, but the Seattle stops are probably going to be the ones people remember.

Wishful thinking bro, you've got probably 50k fan club members within an hour flight and I would bet 10c people are going to make this their labor day plans. It's still my top choice so I'll be right there with you.

Local Boston fans were already complaining that show 2 is the first day of school. That show will be easier to get.

I was going to go for that Tuesday show.
Kind of always my game plan, avoid the tougher shows, make my life easier.

Me too, but there might be 10,000 peeps thinking the same thing. It's kinda come what may at this point.

Nothing official yet?

Lol. You’d have to fight my wife but it’s 93xxx

If they throw all the shows into one lottery I think it will help Fenway.
