    I know! I just hope it's not GA on the field. I've been there, done that. I just want to take advantage of my 10C memberhsip! I've been waiting so long for a home town show!

    I'll go to both. Probably not bother with Oz this time. We'll just have to see what the seating configuration is like. Hopefully like The Who, with GA on the sides and a seated section in the middle. Well, I can handle GA if we get early entry, otherwise I'm not stoked.

    Hey guys
    Well it's finally real :mrgreen:
    Two stadium gigs in little old NZ who woulda thought! I'd say we'll see some heavy promotion to fill em.
    Not thrilled at the likley GA - our Ten Club will count for jack shit if this is the case, a set-up like The Who would be great but guessing that was to cater for the more ageing fan base. But I agree with acomment elsewhere this isn't 95 or 98 anymore and long term fans will have to wrestle for positions with all and sundry. Hoping we are proved wrong very soon...

    The other option if it is GA is a wristbanded section like U2 did (which was for the first XX thousand that showed up). In this case it would be for Ten Clubbers of course :)

    U2 setup was OK. We only got back from the Oz tour that day, so hadn't really followed the whole early GA thing (not sure if they advertised it much?). I suspected they were going to do it though, so after some quick research we headed straight down. It was a lot of waiting, but worth it. Made sure my mates knew about it too, and they didn't get there all that early but still got in.

    Even at the back of the U2 D, the view was OK, but I'd rather get straight in to the front rail.

    Yeah I was pretty much the same, saw U2 in Oz too so saw how it operated there first. The thing about the U2 shows was there was so much more rail space (because of the catwalks etc) than there would be at at Pearl Jam gig. You gonna do Oz too?
    Fingers crossed for at least one Klausen poster for NZ too!

    I probably won't bother this time. My wife won't be able to get time off work, I'll have an exam sometime during the tour, 2 stadium shows is probably enough. I'm sure I'll regret it after waiting another 11 years for them to come back but these are the excuses I'm using at the moment.

    I'm confused by the wording.. is Ben Harper opening for the NZ shows, or just Liam Finn???

    also, what's the deal with the pre-sale? looks like on ticketek it's also open to people with visa cards, not just ten club members... hmm...
