    PS Jodie, that's a nice looking Word document you got there :mrgreen:

    Thanks SuMay, I hope to convince you to come to Melbourne with me!

    Sorry for the delay guys.
    I am in my final semester of my degree and my research/work/life have taken priority for the moment in time.

    Melbourne ticket for sale, $100. PM me if interested.
    Come to send, not condescend...


  • As much as I would love to see side-shows in Jan/Feb 2014 in Australia, unless BDO is completely sold-out and sold-out soon, I am pretty sure there is no chance of Pearl Jam getting around an "exclusive" contract with the BDO.

    Good luck, but don't hold your breath.

    I thought there might have been a small chance of something on the second Sydney BDO date, but I guess not (so far).

  • does anyone know if any of this merch we are seeing from this tour will be available at bdo. are they allowed to sell their own merch at festivals like this?
  • Always band merch (their own merch) at BDO.

    if the numbers are true, then it doesn't matter about the journo guessing if NZ will be cancelled. a $10m loss is still a $10m loss either way.

    see pearl jam, we warned you that it's a shit festival, but you didn't listen and took the cash.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    It will suck if the NZ leg is cancelled but I guess that just means I have to grab a ticket for Australia. Which one will be the nicest?

    On the other hand if it goes ahead and BDO is cancelled following that, it will mean I've been to 3 "last BDOs ever"! Neat!

    If NZ is cancelled for 2014 and they only go ahead with the Australia dates, I suggest Melbourne.
    Melbourne is a smaller venue for the festival, it has a better layout in terms of seeing other bands, in my opinion.
    Melbourne crowd are usually nicer than the Gold Coast crowd.
    I haven't hit Sydney BDO before, but I am assuming it is larger than Melbourne.
    Melbourne is a cooler city to hang out in as well.

    Hi all, in particularly Australians,

    How about the bush fire nearing Sydney. I heard it's pretty bad.
    How is it downtown? A lot of smoke?
    And will it be resolved by January?

    I'm heading for BDO Sydney and hope my 1st Pearl Jam experience will be flawless. :)

    Thanks.

    I would hope that there are no fires still burning in the Blue Mountains in January. That doesn't mean that there won't be more though as January is the hottest month of the year. Anyway you should be safe in the big city .. you just have to worry about the people there. ;)

    I'm secretly hoping BDO 2014 is cancelled and PJ decide to do a proper tour here next year.. hopefully later in the year. It's their fault BDO is broke anyway .. $10 million!! ;)

    I've been to all of the major Australian cities so I'm not too bothered about the "visiting" aspect, I'll probably only pop over for a couple of days. Still, if Melbourne is a nice venue that sounds good. My cousin lives in Melbourne too, so that could work out well...

    Yeah I realise that it would be bad news for those who have already booked airfares and accommodation. But you would still enjoy Australia in January as it's the middle of summer. There is heaps you could do or just be a beach bum.

    Good idea though. PJ shows only at the same venues instead of that festival which no-one really likes. :clap:8-)

    PJ have never played in Tasmania and I don't think they're going to start now .. they're not even giving us a proper tour next year.

    Dear all Jamily & friends,

    The Indonesian Pearl Jam fans club has deployed a campaign to bring Pearl Jam to play show in Indonesia. We are in close co-operation with local concert promoter to make it happen.

    Currently it is under talks between local concert promoter & booking agent/Pearl Jam management and we are still waiting for another country's decision for a "Pearl Jam Asian Tour." If that country is a go then "Pearl Jam Asian Tour" is on. It is so that they can cover some countries in Asia in one tour.

    The plan is to continue "Pearl Jam Asian Tour" from Big Day Out in Australia to do 'stand-alone' shows in Indonesia and some countries in Asian region.

    Should that happen, will you guys be coming to Indonesia (and other Asian countries) to attend the shows? Currently we are aiming for Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. If there's (also) a show in Bali, would you guys come? I believe you guys know Bali more, right?

    This is just a test case of whether international fans of Pearl Jam will come to a tropical country which haven't seen Pearl Jam live for 23 years now (24 years in 2014.) It would be awesome for us all jamily to dance to "Lightning Bolt" live under the tropical sun (or moon.) :D
