    I think I might have missed out on their Doolittle tour in Australia.
    D'Oh! :(
    Why am I always so slow to learn that tickets are on sale and bands are on tour! :x

    They are playing in Melbourne on March 20th, playing all their Doolittle album to celebreate it's 20th anniversary.
    If I don't get to go I will be cut up about this for a long time.

    I found out last week they are touring but didn't hear anything regarding ticket sales.
    Why god whyyyyyyy! :cry:

    I will call Ticketmaster tomorrow, as the net keeps coming up with no tickets found, leading me to believe ''SOLD OUT'' !

    Already going to Sydney for Pearl Jam, I'll go broke. So many concerts to save for.
    They are playing at Festival Hall.
    Fingers crossed tickets still available and it's just a ticketmaster site issue.
    Will learn tomorrow when I call them.
