    BDO is fine. Far too many people have per-concieved views of what it is like. I ill be going to my 10th, 11th and 12th BDO's this year :shock: But this is the first time that i have gone to multiple. I have never had any problems. Just ignore the dickhead element in the crowd, and you will see that 90% of them are actually fine.

    BDO organisers have also said that PJ will have their families out, and are using this as a holiday, hence the no sideshows.

    Go to the shows, rock the fuck out and don't complain that your favourite band are touring your country 8-)

  • The BDO Used to be great. It's now usually infiltrated by people who go there to drink/drug themselves stupid. I don't care what your substance of choice is, but don't make an assclown of yourself. Too many go to the BDO so they can say they went to BDO.

    I'm seriously considering lifting my self-imposed BDO bad though - a 2 hour PJ set plus The Lumineers (whose album I've had on repeat for months).....admission price looking worthy. I would rather go to a couple of PJ shows though if they do a tour post BDO......

    We can hope and pray to the gods of Seattle I guess!!!

    Bought my Sydney ticket today.. for day 1...

    I'm pumped and seriously can't wait! I've got a bit of a gang going and we are just going to have a good day and ignore the rest of the crowd.. I have only been to one another before which was a couple of years ago and had a great time... so this day can only be better.. my favourite band in a two hr set with a couple of other bands thrown in... giddy up!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

    PS. There will be no side shows guys.. just get involved in this!

    Well then, I'm off to the BDO in January...never thought I would say that but anything for PJ

    I will be at the Melbourne show, so very excited. Thanks to ten Club for putting aside tickets for us, most of my friends and family want to know how I got tickets a week before they went on public sale :corn: ...thank you Pearl Jam xx

    What a bunch of whingers! I am psyched to go to my first BDO and only 2nd time seeing PJ. You all sound spoilt! Touring is expensive, especially when having to travel so far, so it makes economic sense for the guys to do BDO. You won't hear kiwis complaining, we are all pumped to see the best band in the world in our neck of the woods :D
