    Outdoor GA is certainly different to the indoor GA's years later.... I think the stadiums won't be as wild as the 95 days...... BUT

    Almost 15 years of on the job training for the Army (ZA) .... and winding up in Christchurch with 32 PJ Shows in OZ/NZ...

    Im ready.... for anything that happens....

    Bring it on!!!

    sounds like it was an awesome gig

    Sure! Once your duties are over, you may set fire to whatever you want. ;) Personally, I'll be going straight to the pub to get pissed! No time for fires!

    Me score some good tix through the Ticketek presale today for the Sydney shows...

    Bay 34, row MM, just off to the side, not many rows from the front, very happy indeed.

    The ticket sales aren't moving very fast for Sydney though, still awesome seats available

    Ziggy, nice new photo, but still has the same problem as the first one - I cant see your boobs. 8-)

    Please fix it and let me know when it has been correctly updated :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    I got roped into taking friends into reserved seating, so my GA tix are going to my mate's sister and her friend (once she confirms she wants them).

    So yeah, Sydney will be my seating show, while I go nuts at the rest of them hehe

    That's silly. The whole floor won't be intense, you can easily step back a bit and have your own room to move in the GA area. It'll only really get hairy in the first few rows.

    :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

    After extensive negotiations with the heirarchy, a compromise was reached to leave Perth and Adelaide off the itinerary...

    I wasnt happy but with only one salary (wife is on unpaid maternity leave), a Christening and a mortgage to pay for, I had to compromise a couple of shows...

    She still doesnt know about my NZ purchases.

    Sorry Kylie :( :( :(

  • There will not be a special Ten Club reserved section within the venue floor for security reasons.

    With this being the case I really don't think there is any advantage to paying extra for 10C tickets, I can't see my 10C membership being renewed this year.

    Being realistic what security concerns would a 10C area only create as I can't think of any that couldn't be managed.

    You'll regret that decision when they tour next time in smaller venues.

    your loss, our win when the next seated tour comes along :lol:

    at GA shows, there is never a seperate 10c area. your 10c tickets entitle you to early entry, before the masses, and if you cant make that, then maybe you should have bought normal tickets. if you can't organise to finish work an hour or 2 early with 3 months notice to get early entry then maybe you should have bought general sale tickets

    The security concerns would be having an additional section for 10C fans - additional section equals additional security staff which equals additional cost.

    Makes sense really, hard to think that they would have a separate section for a few hundred fans

    would love to say me, I wonder who made the decision, the band the venue, etc. could 10c not pull it off, i was just happy to know that I could get tickets and find a nice spot on the ground. thing I hope for most is no crowd surfing in GA!

    I dont know about you guys I am taking the whole day off and making it an awsome expirence! if any one is in melbourne I am doing lunch if ya interested, should be in adeliade too, just need to sort one thing out tomorrow.

    why are the making all these shows GA?

    awwwww :( never mind, hun.....I'll seeya at the other Aus gigs :)

    I was just asking, trying to get an idea of how many I'll have staying here :)
  • I cant see what all the fuss is about here. 10c tickets will get you early entry to the Fixer GA (i know not all cities have the same, but most do) which is considerably smaller than the rest of the GA area. If you can manage to stay up the front for the entire time than thats a bonus.

    From previous experience in seeing shows set up like this at Etihad stadium, at worst you will be 35-40m from the stage at the very back of the Fixer GA area. It is considerably better off that the gold seating which is surrounding the ground and MUCH further from the stage. The Fixer GA areas will not be very big.

    I for one will use the early entry to get to the bar before the crowd arrives and get myself a decent spot, which i may or may not lose when i go back to the bar or to the toilet. Im not particularly worried about where i end up as long as im in this section.

    As 10c members we should be thankful that we get guaranteed tickets in the best available section. We have been spoilt in the past with what we have been given. So to all those that are threatening not to renew their 10c membership because we dont get a special section all for ourselves i have 2 things to say. Firstly, get over it. Its not as bad as you think. And secondly, can you tell me any other band that gives you the return on your fan club membership that we get? I dont know of any other bands that give us special xmas releases and tickets like we have in the past. If you want to give up your membership because of this, go right ahead, it simply means a better seat for me next time.

    i wished I had got my membership sooner! i.e back when i became a massive fan, i cant wait for PJ to come, and if I can help keep someones spot I am more than willing to, just like throw the occasional crowd suffer if there is any. but this will be awesome, when I heard they were coming out and I got my tickets it actually made it a great year, instead of the shit one that it has been.

    You're right. This will be my first PJ concert and Im really excited. I'd really like to get close but its also my 1st GA in years. Im not that young anymore. I was hoping for 3 concerts at Rod Laver but thems the breaks....
    Im so happy with my righteous self..
