    seems to me that no shows were sold out? i mean, the 10c homepage had links to buy tix for the shows up right until the very end? big-ass stadiums!
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    That's generally the case for any Australian shows though, was the same in 2006 in arenas. There's just far fewer 10C members over here compared to the US, usually a few hundred at each show at best.

    was no criticism, just merely a statement.
    i also added the caveat of "big-ass stadiums" to drive that point home. :)
    surprised they played such large arenas.
    also a big part of why i decided to stay home this oz tour...i can see em in big-ass stadiums at home. and sure, GA is fun - but i actually wanted my mediocre 10c # to get me awesome seats in oz. next tour. 8-)

    I reckon there were more at Melbourne than at Sydney.

    If there were 30K+ people at the SFS on Sunday (and that looked like a possible number from where I was standing), would that make that show the biggest Oz PJ crowd since Eastern Creek in 1995? From memory, that show also had a crowd of about 30k.
  • bazzerbazzer Posts: 3,126
    I thought someone said 40,000 in Melbourne?
  • anthonycalavanthonycalav Posts: 214
    I was at both Sydney and Melbourne and I would pick Melbourne as having closer to 50,000 and Sydney around the 40,000 mark.

    Not sure where you got your info but according to the stadiums official site (http://membersequitystadium.com.au/si_fac.html):

    "For sporting fixtures Members Equity Stadium is capable of accomodating up to 18,156 patrons. For cultural and artistic events the playing field is capable of accomodating up to 18,000 patrons (not including surrounding seating)." & "Maximum spectator capacity of over 18,000 and provision for an additional 18,000 seats on the pitch"

    Also on http://www.pearljamtour.tv/ Michael Chugg reporting on the day of the Perth show said there would be "26,000 people here tonight" or something to that effect and that tallies with what the Perth media reported.
    My PJ shows:
    London 28/10/96, Las Vegas 11/7/98, London 29/5/00, Nurnburg 11/6/00, Prague 14/6/00, Salzburg 18/6/00, Verona 20/6/00, Milan 22/6/00, Zurich 23/6/00, New York 8-9/7/03, Boston 11/7/03, Reading Festival 27/8/06, Shepards Bush 11/8/09, Berlin 15/8/09, Manchester 17/8/09, London 18/8/09, Dublin 22/6/10, Belfast 23/6/10, London (HRC) 25/6/10, Alpine Valley (PJ20) 3-4/9/11, Manchester 20-21/6/12, Leeds 8/7/14, Milton Keynes 11/7/14 To be continued....

    Where'd you hear the number? 35K is pretty great, considering they're also playing Chch. I wonder how many they've sold down there? Last time they played Mt Smart (and earlier Queens Wharf) they only got 20K or something, so 35K is awesome! It's going to be great!

    they would have sold more if they'd played somewhere bigger than crusty old queens wharf. granted there was nowhere bigger.. i just wish they were playing the stadium in wellington.. as hideous as it is :(

    A friend of mine that works for Etihad stadium told me that there was just over 48,500 at the Melbourne show.
  • i_lov_iti_lov_it Perth, Western Australia Posts: 4,007
    Yeah ME Bank Stadium holds 18,000 for the Soccer...and I'm sure there would of atleast been an EXTRA 10,000 in the GA area :)
  • SmellymanSmellyman Asia Posts: 4,527
    As someone who was at Bris, Melbourne and Sydney, let's just say there was a crapload of people. Too hard to judge how many.

    When they announced this stadium tour I wondered if they could pull it off and brig in a lot of people.

    They pulled it off.
