    This is making me giggle like an idiot.

    Is it Sals? Great pizza!
    Yeah, Sals?


    It IS Sals!!!!!

    Im sure I could get this info through10c but all you people are so smart so....

    Im gonna have to can going to Auckland BDO. Any idea if I can get rid of my tickets?

    Im assume no 10c refund and I can only sell them at FV online/EGay? BUT if I cant get over there to collect from ticket office with my ID....am I screwed and have therefore lost the money??

    I suppose if I can get a return airfare Sydney-Auckland for $350 and tickets were $360 then it would be worth my while flying over :lol::lol::lol: Joking.

    Any help would be much appreciated
    BDO tickets weren't thorugh 10C, so no issue there. I would push for a refund from NZtix due to the change in headliner (i.e. Blur).

    Did just that and no problem with a refund - all received. Cheers Bazzer appreciate it.

    BTW. Sydney 2 1/2 hour set - blue stage (band was asked to do 3 hr said no) 8-)

    Just Sydney?

    I think a lot of people are expecting 3 hour sets.

    Would assume for all states but def 2.5 Sydney on Blue stage.

    Note sure why they said no to 3hrs but would assume 'their' 2.5 would turn into 3!?!?!

    Auckland through Sydney. Doing a loop around NZ before hand. Unfortunately real life requires my presence back before the start of Feb. :(

    And I still can't find a thin water repellant jacket. Might just have to go shopping in Auckland or Queenstown for one.

    IMPORTANT

    All Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide people!

    Need someone to pick a venue for a get together on the night before each BDO in that city.

    Cheers.
