    :lol: Will probably stay in the city and drive out there. Hope there's plenty of parking.

    that's probably the only thing the ent cents got going for it, there is a shit load of parking. but with basically one road in and out, it can take you an hour to get out of the place.

    you can get the train from the city, i think it's about a 20 or so minute train ride. but the last train out of the ent cent in normally packed to shit house.

    Ok ... might get the train then. Can't be any worse than getting out of Acer Arena after the Sydney shows in 2006.

    Went to Sydney 1 and Sydney 3 and drove there both times. After Sydney 1 the carpark traffic wasn't moving so we hung around for about an hour at the back of the venue hoping to see the band. Couldn't get near the back entrance though.. had to stand outside a fenced area. At Sydney 3 we parked a long way from the arena and got out of there easily.

    It's not soo bad driving out from the ent cent in brisbane after a show. Sometimes it can take forty minutes, other times you get lucky and just drive straight out.
    as for the drive in! that just adds to the excitment.
    Boondall is a shithole, i recommend people don't stay there :)

    It was opposite a weird Indian Resteraunt and it had palms out the front, and was in an industrial area...sooooo bad!

    I have a question for when the tickets finally do go on sale.
    My 10C number is 412xxx. I became a member just after the 06 tour. Does anyone know what kind of seats I'd get at a Sydney show provided they are seniority based?

    My 10C no. is 336xxx and I got 13th row at Acer Arena for Sydney 1. Couldn't see a thing because everyone stood the whole time and I had really tall dudes right in front of me. Thank god for the screens.
