New Zealand
...Looks like we are finally getting a show or two. The word seems to be that there was consideration given to playing one show at Western Springs (which does raise the question, why was this rejected in 03/06), but the feeling is that PJ may not sell that out and so it looks like 2 shows at Vector.....

i hope they come back and play for the kiwis!
What I'd really like is a small fan club only (plus others I guess?) at the Civic or something!
Sure - back in 2002/2003 we tried to put together a petition to get them to NZ. Did ok, got some publicity etc, but ultimately failed in getting them here. But in that process I got to know a few people, and once these rumors started I got back in touch....

They were scheduled to play two nights at the vector in early November 2006. We know this because "Auckland" appeared on some of their tour literature. Unfortunately, the venue wasn't ready and so they didn't come.

Two shows in 1998 at the start of the yield tour
How big is the Vector?
OK I'm getting a little too excited, the anticipation of 11 years - the waiting drove me mad...
I like your thinking bazzer - 2 Vector shows and I have always dreamed of a Civic warm up acoustic type gig after Ed played there with 7 Worlds and with Fan Club only in that front bit! Not sure 2 Vector shows would be guaranteed?
Nice to have all the good vibes from around the world wishing us well this time around and surely after the 06 debacle we'll be in for a very special time...

maybe tomorrow (thursday) NZ time??
i had calculated for the midnight 7 July PT time, but then read posts and clarified the meaning that we had to have current membership at that time
possibly even Friday (feel compelled to put NZ time again, even tho don't need to in a thread named New Zealand)
does anyone know if the '98 concerts had 10c tix? or how many current 10c members there would be here?
Haere mai, e hoa ma, ki a Aotearoa...

“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Previous tours in 95 & 98 were both General Admission and the mad dash from the gate (three out of three front row for me ).
I have no idea how many Kiwi Fan Club members there are - anyone take a stab? Sure would be nice to have the best FC tix reserved for locals but sounds like that is unlikely. Hopefully the recession will keep international fans away!! No offence to them as longas they are behind us Kiwis
Annoucement sometime either side of midnight NZ time??
as much as i would LOVE to catch some shows in oz and kiwiland ....very, very doubtful, tho i was truly hoping 'next time'...as i sooo wanted to go to the oz shows in what, 06? beyond that, even during a good economy it is still quite the trip so i am sure you'd still always get GREAT seats, probably better than almost anywhere else, no matter your 10c #s!
that said, i truly HOPE you GET SHOWS! you sooooo deserve em!
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
still hoping though :?
that would be COOL
Same about the '95 concert - you were'nt the guy who tried in vain to convince me to get the hell out of the mosh pit were ya?! It was so easy to get to the front in those days...
As for kiwi fan clubbers, I read in another thread an estimate of 70, so not many relatively speaking. For some reason I don't believe they will offer us the tickets first, or the best tickets. Hope I'm wrong tho! I wonder who the tickets will be sold through? will we get presales?
So not today, tomorrow is the new word on the announcement. Lord only knows who's tomorrow that actually is, probably Friday for us, right?? I've never checked the internet so much in my life!!
And wonder who the opening act will be? (notice how I'm acting like they are definitely coming here now, quite dangerous really as will be MAD disappointed if they only do Aus). In '95 it was our own, terrible Dead Flowers and we booed them off the stage. They were really bad tho. Would it be another kiwi band? or would they bring someone?
thanks for helping with the wait everyone by answering some of my mad questions. gotta keep busy waiting for announcement somehow!
quietly hopeful. what about PJ vinyl any other kiwi vinyl collectors round here?
Vinyl collector here too - how's your collection looking?

I do know where there is a 10, vs and vitalogy up for grabs round here if any kiwis need any of those vinyls? not badly priced either I don't think (but you may disagree). PM me if interested and I can put ya on the trail
