WTF?!
Scott, still gotta give credit to you... youve been chasing this from the moment go,
Im very dissapointed... I dont know weather to say this is the bands fault (because there are obviously other alternatives for venues) or if its Vector Arena's fault???
Im going with Vectors, but if the band wanted to come here... at least do a 10c show... and to bring up the numbers... do it at the St James... and invite the Auzzie 10C members...
Soley a 10C show...Wouldnt that be awesome?!?
Id still feel stink for the other kiwis who arnt members though... but they should have thought of that.....
Anyhow....
I havent lost all hope...
Heres what i think we should do...
Everyone should do the following...
Write an email message to...
-10 Club
-NZ Herald
-Vector Arena's
-The Rock
All in the same email... --- so CC the other parties in...
And just say how we were chasing this from the beginnning,
And how disgusted we are at these shows not happening.
Based on our fact that we have of course..
This has been a team effort guys, and it will finish a team effort...
As for the NZ herald... i Cant find a address.. but if we can somehow get the message to them.,,, theyll make a story about it... ???
Aparrently PJ is opening for U2 in Hawaii???
So the only dates that are left out now.. are the New Zealand dates...??
Any other suggestions.... Add em on

Sounds like a good idea, even just to let them know our EXTREME dissapointment. Should include comments about the fierce loyalty of PJ fans. I am willing to contribute to the email. But who want's to co-ordinate the contributions/sending?
This is bullshit. Its too late to get decent seats at a reasonable price for Australia for anyone, and this is gonna fuck over so many people.
An email wont change anything, but id still want in on it. I dont see the point of the Herald being in on it though, they just write what people tell them. I suppose if you want them to write about how poor this has been, then thats not a bad yell.
Good news for people selling tickets to Aussie though. Man this is so frustrating, the band can be too precious at times. I agree Brendan, they put our name on the tour schedule in that booklet, and they're playing stadiums and GA in Europe.
Its been 8 years, but I still believe...PJ in NZ 06!

DON'T LAUGH, but this is what i wrote to 10C
Hey Guys
Well,
its possible you've had a few e-mails from a few 'gutted' NZ'ers about rumours goiung around that while Pearl Jam had not entirely confirmed their tour here, they will in fact not be coming, due to the Vector Arena being delayed.
I too am pretty sad about the 'news', but, if true, i do know its beyond our control....
however, this said, there are alternate venues. Not necessarily arenas, but still, other venues. And there is life beyond Auckland. As people like to plug their hometown, i mays well give it a shot. I Live in New Plymouth, NZ. and we have a place here called the Bowl of Brooklands, where this summer we had god knows how many bands, including Stevie Nicks, and last summer REM and Mark Knopfler.

No use sitting around moping about it, it probably wont do shit, but at least i'm being pro-active.
Definately the way to go.
Bazzer, wouldnt those be 10C tickets? If not whats face value and whats a plane trip to Adelaide cost these days?
And is anyone going to the Buzzcocks on Sept 10?

I paid NZ$250 for the two. AS someone said only the 1st show was 10C seats. I think you just missed the transtasman specials, so you're probably looking at around $750 return. I think I paid less than that but that was into Melb, out of Adelaide and the flight between too. Hang out for the next sale, but buy my tickets now!

Yeah $750, no way I have that sort of money unless I borrowed it. Someone start a tribute band so I can see the next best thing.

So apparently they announced on the rock that pj have cancelled coming to NZ because the vector arena wont be finished in time, can anyone deny or confirm this cause im absolutely shattered in disappointment at the moment.

Yes - PJ cancelled their accomodation arrangements - which I can say was at Sky city - two days ago
Yes i know its 12:41am on a friday, but i have just finished work.... hence why i am not out scaring the boys... (aparently they run away regardless)
SIGH.
looks likes its time to watch Bridget Jones. Nah, fuck that, bit of Showbox...... maybe Dazed and Confused..... oh i have the Labyrinth.... bit of david bowie action...HA!!!

Hey RedPJ
Sucks huh?? So glad I went a little crazy with the credit card and got tickets for the Sydney show... but of course I'd trade the hot weather, great shopping and the show itself for one in NZ (even if it was in Auckland...)...
Aaah fuckit. This has to be one of my most futile experiences ever. I got my hopes up for nothing. Not being bitter or anything, but double standards suck. It's been 8 years and we definitely deserve a show. I wish they'd just go on and make it clear as to what's happening so that people are not left hanging.
Disappointed.
A small girl smiles...one eyelid flickers, she whips a pistol from her knickers. She aims it at the preacher's head. And run (run, bang) she shoots him dead.
There was a dead white rabbit on my driveway earlier this evening. really bizarre.
why is it so damn cold. fuck it. why is it i work saturday night, and have to work again at 8am on a fucking sunday morning. why does my makeup remover not work?? why am i so hungry? why have i not had a proper meal in two days, and i'm a chef....
why am i complaining so damn much...
i need to go to bed.
those of you who know where i'm at, give me a yell.... sweet.

I know its a long shot, but just maybe.
Give me a yell if you like,

+64 6 *** **** (home)
thanks for listening, i dont know who this will reach, if if it could be passed on to the appropriate hands. Let PJ know we want them here!!!!! :-)
thanks
Meredith
i suppose its worth a try
Edit: Ah fuck missesd out.
Sorry about that.....
that was my 360th post on the new board ( i lost my 900 odd posts when it changed over)
sorry you missed your 1000
gotta start making plans.... :mad:

"No matter how cold the winter, theres a springtime ahead'
i think its bullshit over 50% of oz shows are non-10c
ok i wont complain, sorry :(
Even just an inpromptu accoustic set at the ceremony would be fine
see, you're not asking for much!
btw congats on getting to 1K NZ
yeah well done
and guys, i am so sorry for getting hopes up
shit i feel awful
Youve done more than 10C has ever done, and I dont pay you 50 bucks a year..I hope noone holds anything against you, you just reported what you heard.

Luckily I got Brissy tickets just in case but the home turf would have been nice.
Surely theres got to be somewhere in New Zealand they could play.
Hell, I'd even settle for a tenclub only concert I'm not fussy
