    ha ha, you would be staying in either northern N.S.W or the sunshine coast, or Toowoomba for you to have a 2 hour trip back to the hotel. brisbane ain't very big.

    Im all about convenience when something like a concert finishes. How can I get out of there quickly and where can I have a 'fairly' peaceful beer then not have a 2 hr trip back to hotel

    Whatever is cheaper I reckon. BUT that being said if its only gonna save 20-50 bucks we may as well go straight.

    Just working out the day. Rob reckons AirNZ have some good stuff going. I will log on around 5 and suss it out. Be in touch with what I find

    Good work, my man. I agree....straight if possible and is around the same price. Fuck....I don't know if Lindy is def doing Brisbane though....well she'll just have to! :twisted:

    I think we should leave on the 26th. I don't like travelling on the day of the concert. :? Makes me nervous.

    my exam dates are out on 6th ... and i would like to do brissie... but depends on exam AND if i can scout me a spare 10c tkt ...
    airnz have ads every 5 seconds atm - the latest is book a return and get $100 off - but we are flying into auck, flying out of chri ... plus, remember the good deal zig & i thought we had, and then it was a shit load of taxes and charges on top. .... and remember - it costs less to fly back to sydney and out to nz, than to get a direct flight out of brissie :shock:

    look - nxt monday we book, yea (or we could already book flights out of nz back to aus now if you see something good

    This place is right across the road from QSAC dont know what its like as I am from Sydney but close is good.
    This is where we are staying $200 a night think its more expensive because she asked me if we were coming for the PJ concert.When I asked if it was close to the venue she said you will be able to hear the concert from there.

    yeah that's real close. $200 a night sounds like a fucking shit load to me. someone said they tried to book there pretty much when the dates were announced and they said it was fully booked. maybe they cancelled some bookings, up the price to make some money off pearl jam fans.


    i would seriously ring back and enquire how much it is to stay there on a wednesday night like week before or the week after pearl jam, i bet you'll get a cheaper price.

    Any of you Brisbane guys want to suggest a GREAT idea for an after show?

    Obviously something either close to the venue or in the middle of town (where other folk might be staying)

    Ok I just got off the phone to "The Glenn Hotel" they are open until 2am and they are around the corner from Qsac(about 2 min drive) it's nicer then Dicieys and we can book an area if we want. and they Definately will be open until 2am on the night of the show in Brisbane.

    what do you guys think?

    See - it's comments like these that will remind me NOT to wear a white t-shirt to the concert. :lol:

    FYI - Adelaide people, the casino is open 24hrs and will be open that night (have checked with them) so we could always go there for after-show drinks?!

    a light mist - not a heavy downpour. Though, if it's gonna happen, it's GONNA happen. Nov isn't that common for Adelaide and rain... so fingers crossed!
