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.

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?

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

you forgot to mention less fans they can fit in

Jim? Are you coming to the Perth gig?

: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 :( :( :(

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.

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.

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....

they have now split the field at brisso, so i assume the other cities that didn't have 2 G.A will have now

that is a venue policy - complain to the SCG trust

it was the same at wave aid, sound relief, live earth

and the bar lines at the SFS are SHIT
soooooooooo slow

And they wont let you taken in bottled water either. MAYBE if its not opened. then they charge $6 a bottle of water. And no alcohol. Now i wish i didn't live in NSW, this is only 1 of 2 shows im going to and cant even have a drink out on the field to pass the monotony of ben harper. bah

Hi all. I am unbelieveably excited for this tour, never been to a GA concert before ( was due any day with my 1st child in '98 and '96 too young in my mothers eyes to be let to roam free in melbourne to see them) My only concern is the toilet situation, i have had three kiddies now and the old bladder doesn't work like it used to!!! Surely they (and management) would understand that their fans aren't getting any younger.........There, i've vented, now bring on november!!!

Yeah, me too. I've had 3 kids too so we've got something in common. I think if we're all with Ten clubbers, we may be able to get out to go to the toilet and people will let us out and in again. None of us can be expected to stand there for hours on end without a break. You're not the only one with that concern. That being said, I'm looking forward to my first GA PJ shows! Like you wouldn't believe:)

With my early entry I'm heading straight to ther merchandise stand! I wanted one of those hoodies in '06, but because took so long they had nothing in my size left
