Please add me for Melbourne.

Glad Big Day Out has brought back physical tickets this year. Last year they only issued e-tickets and it just runs the vibe for mine.

donnamaree

Just brought tickets for Auckland wish it was not BDO but I cant miss seeing Pearl Jam Live

I could only get e-tickets fro the auckland show

Apocolypse Dude

Got my tickets to the Melbourne BDO. Haven't been to a BDO since 96. Hopefully the line-up improves massively, with PJ, Mudhoney and The Cosmic Psychos my day is done there.....

Miss Colada

Adelaide for me..... Thinking about melb but unlikely

vedder_soup

What website is commonly used in australia for hotel booking? I'm looking at US based sites (kayak, trivago, hotels.com, booking,com, travelocity, priceline, etc.) and I think I might be better off looking at Australian sites. I did a quick Google search but didn't come up with anything useful.

doompony

wotif.com works well for nz.. i assume it has an aussie side to it too

wotif.com is in Aus as well but is only taking bookings up to the end of Jan at the moment so if you're going to the Perth BDO that's no use. Hotels.com is good for here too - I used it myself only yesterday to book my accommodation for Adelaide and Melbourne.

http://www.stayz.com.au is a good one. Go to the bottom right of the screen to choose which category you want, then choose your location

duska, probs best is what doompony has said.

I'm in for Auckland. I won't go to Oz for any BDO dates, but in the unlikely event they do sideshows I could be tempted, in which case I'd probably do the local BDO too

vedder_soup

So, i just bought Adelaide tickets

Jodie,any kind of meetings?people asking about a preparty or something..i know alot will be in the line early

morello (Jen) has started a pre-party date claimer for Auckland.
Which I'll work with her to get that organised. I will link it here later.

I need volunteers for the other cities as well to be the main local contact.
Let me know peeps! It's not hard, you need too organise a venue and we could do a raffle for Wishlist foundation if we can get some PJ related donations from other peeps.

So basically I need the PJ community to support me in a few ways.
So come at me

Hi guys & gals,
I live pretty close 2 Metricon on the GC and would be happy 2 help organise a bit of a get together.
There is a cool bowls club not far from me - perhaps some barefoot bowls & a few beers b4 BDO???

Cheers
Justin

:wave:
Can we start a travelling-from-North-America support group? I am glad I'm not the only one.

I'm considering looking for a flight with a stopover someplace fun - break up the looooooooooooooong ride from the west coast, and give me the opportunity to see someplace new.

A lot of people who fly from the US to Auckland stop over in Rarotonga its four hours from NZ so breaks the trip up nicely. That's if you like beaches and islands haha

Wally

Just bought tickets for Perth.

Mango

Jodie I didn't buy tickets for Gold Coast (yet) but am a cert for Sydney 1 & 2 if you wanna update your roll call.

Hawaiian Airlines now flies direct from Honolulu to Auckland so that is an option, also some of the cheaper flights right now are on Air Pacific(aka Fiji Airways) with a layover in Fiji. Not a bad gig I guess.

I am so disappointed that they won't be doing a side show. I just can't justify spending that much money as PJ are the only band in that line up I would really like to see. Also putting up with all the drunk idiots at BDO....nope

ketray2412

see you in Melbourne - Like A Boss tix

loffy81

Gold coast and Melbourne locked in. I've slept out for Pearl Jam tickets since 98' so when they announced the line up for BDO at 8pm wednesday we were in town to get tickets at 10pm but no-one else showed up till 3am we still had a good night and have our tickets! Anyway can you please and myself and dcooney80 to these two shows (so far)

so far ;P

yellowledbetterman80

just caved in got another ticket for perth. doing goldie, mel, syd x2 and perth

Nucari

I'm in for Sydney 2nd show. I figured the 1st Sydney show might sell out and 2nd one probably not, so it might be less crowded and easier to get to the front.

This will be close to my 10th time seeing them.

Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you guys up the front.

For anyone who didn't get tickets in the PJ presale, you should head along to your local General Pants Co and buy them from there. They've got the souvenir (ie. physical) ticket which is the most coolest concert ticket I have ever seen and it's selling for the same price as the print-out ticket from the BDO website. I also scored myself a couple of BDO posters for free.
