Supermodel*Robot Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I'm just surprised at how the planning has gone. Like I got home from vacation and there were all these new dates for the East Coast that got me all excited. And then two months go by as they slowly announce everywhere except the west.
Salmonator. Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Chill, folks. You guys really don't think they won't head to the upper parts of California? Like their hometown areas? Come on. No offence, but easier for you to say, as I saw in your sig, it looks like you're already seeing them during this tour, so maybe you shouldn't be talking like that, it's natural that some of us are worrying.

mandajane Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Chill, folks. You guys really don't think they won't head to the upper parts of California? Like their hometown areas? Come on. thats what i was thinking, they HAVE to do at least 1 bay area show....
Mar Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Ok, is anyone else starting to feel really discouraged? I know we have been talking shit since March but, today, for me, these feelings have really come to a head. I have been saving vacation days all year for a tour that seems like it isn't gonna happen. The dates that have already been released are 99% out of the question for me and that's saying a lot. Partly, I guess I wanted dates for my birthday, which was yesterday and is now over And October is slowly filling up (not that I'm against SA dates cause, god knows, they have waited long enough). My only hope is that you are right about them not missing norcal and I can afford to fly out there and see at least a couple shows. (Attn: GDC friends, I may need a place to crash...) Because, really, what are the chances they will tour in November? Not hopeless, right? It has happened before... I don't think they won't add more dates to the US leg of the tour Just have a look at the tourpage: Europe: One month, one month break US: One month, one month break South American: 20 days, (work on the new record?) You know what I mean? Maybe they'll add 2-3 more gigs but not more... *More dates will be announced soon. You think they were talking about non-NA tour dates? SHIT, they did announce Canadian dates later... I'm fucking grasping for straws here! Have they ever done a tour this short in the US? I completely agree with all 3 of these posts. I really think the "more dates" meant these SA dates (and, as she said, I'm not holding it against SAers who have waited an extremely long time), and this is it, at least for 2010. I've now spent my money on other concerts, so GD won't be getting my money this year, it looks like. I really love seeing them live and I wish I could do it again, but I just don't think I can see a show on my first day of classes, with another "first day" the following morning. If something were to happen and I wouldn't make it back to my college in time for Tuesday classes, I'd forfeit my spot in those classes.
Salmonator. Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 This. I agree with this. Thanks guys, glad I'm not the only one that feels like that.
Supermodel*Robot Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 The only hope I have is that they announced last summer's tour really late. The concert was only 2 months after tickets went on sale.
lizziebix Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 except Chicago, but that doesn't count. I take exception with this comment. Chicago needs at least one other date other than Lolla.
Supermodel*Robot Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 I take exception with this comment. Chicago needs at least one other date other than Lolla. I don't think that will happen. I think Lolla has that rule that any bands attending can't play in the city within a ten month period.
lizziebix Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 I don't think that will happen. I think Lolla has that rule that any bands attending can't play in the city within a ten month period. I think it's more like 3 or 4 months but that doesn't meant FBHT's can't!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or GD can play outside of the city limits, in another county close by or even southern WI would be okay.
Fanny. Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Guys don't lose hopes! I know it's been a long time since they've added the last dates, but they need to come up with new ones in the future. They can't skip all of these cities imo
DecanoLP Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Even if they don't add any more deates, you guys can't blame them. They started touring in May 2009, so there are nearly 1 1/2 years full of playing live shows. And we all know how awful Billie's voice sounded in Asia which was after 5 months. Maybe they can't do more shows... Just another point of view.

I get that, I really do, but if they were only going to do that number of shows in the US this time around they could have spaced them out across the country instead of skipping the southeast and northwest completely. If you plot the shows on a map of the US you can see that it's pretty shitty how many places are missed entirely, especially considering the number of shows they are playing just on the northeast coast... I haven't lost all hope but all we have is September and they will need time off.

Chad is Rad Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 They need to add a Chicago date, or some Missouri ones. They had two Missouri dates last tour, I'll be really confused if they don't post any for this one. I've saved up all this money to see them, and they haven't even announced any locations that are even close to Illinois. And now it's probably impossible to get general admission in any of the other states, because those dates have been posted forever...and I won't settle for anything less than general admission... They need to post more dates! Soon!

Soon! agreed! no missouri, no indiana, no kentucky, no ohio, no tennessee. no dates that are even remotely close to me i want to see them again so so bad and this really sucks.
Sarahnade. Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 ^Yes. It just feels so weird that they left out so many states. They need to add more.
Supermodel*Robot Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Okay it'd be cool if they announced new tour dates. I'm about to spend my Green Day concert money on Vampire Weekend yo.
CrimsonRegret Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I'm about to spend my Green Day concert money on Vampire Weekend yo. Adam Lambert announced 2 dates near me - and I am going [once more tickets are released!] I really do not like tapping into my Green Day fund.. but really though?!
Mar Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Okay it'd be cool if they announced new tour dates. I'm about to spend my Green Day concert money on Vampire Weekend yo. Yeah, I did the same with Metric, Conan and Gaga I just couldn't wait for them to announce more and let those opportunities pass by!

Soon! if there is a show that you could possibly go to at all in another state thats already been announced, dont give up on the GA tickets. alot of the time ticketmaster will release more tickets randomly. like for the chula vista show. im pretty sure pit was sold out, but they released more pit tickets recently. you just have to keep checking. but i do hope they release more shows so everyone can see them.
