May 8, 1998: Salt Lake City, UT -- Pearl Jam announced today that they will move their Salt Lake City show from the Delta Center to The Canyons, formerly Wolf Mountain. Despite immediate sellouts in all other U.S. markets, slow ticket sales at The Delta Center resulted in the decision to move the show. "Because of the slow ticket sales, we decided to move the show to a smaller, outdoor venue to offer our Salt Lake fans a more intimate concert experience", said the band's manager, Kelly Curtis.
The ticket exchange for Pearl Jam at The Canyons on June 21st will begin Saturday, May 9th at Noon. Please take your tickets to the outlet you purchased them from for your exchange. Ticket exchanges must be made by Saturday, June 13th.
