    The email I got tonight from Big Day Out said there would be no other shows so it looks like I'll be buying tickets for the Gold Coast BDO tomorrow morning. :shock: :)

    I am going to buy a ticket for one show in Sydney. But I need to see them at one other show so can you Aussies help me out? As I am from The Netherlands I have totally no clue what the cheapest and best options are
    Which is the best and cheapest travel option from Sydney? Would love to go to Auckland too but think that is a little too expensive..

    Bugger, just re-read the same email. Worded the same for RHCP last year who did not play any other shows. So I'll lock in Melbourne and maybe one other.. Sydney or Adelaide??

    Little disappointed that we won't get to see PJ play at the new Perth Arena, but am really looking forward to hearing songs from the new record. I will be going solo to all shows, except Auckland and Gold Coast (if I can get tickets!)

    Interesting article on FL:

    "On Pearl Jam:
    We spent a lot of time going through things with Pearl Jam because they’ve always wanted to do the show and obviously they’re very cautious about how they do things. We were lucky enough that it felt right for them and it certainly felt right for us.

    Charlie Jones at C3 [Presents, BDO co-promoters] is really good friends with Eddie [Vedder]. He hung out with him on the weekend at that cyclone in Chicago. They had 40 000 people, they had to stop the set for two hour and didn’t finish until 2 o’clock in the morning. [Charlie] saw him the next day and all he could talk about was how excited he was to play the Big Day Out. Blur are doing the same thing. That’s what you want. That’s what I need more than anything; real artists to be genuinely excited about being on an event . “This is going to be great!” not “This will be really good for our career”. I don’t want that; I don’t want anyone who thinks about a career. It’s the music industry; it’s not meant to be a career!"

    Question for aussies - never been to Australia (have seen PJ in NZ) and thinking of hitting melbourne and sydney shows and from there have 2 options - either go to Adelaide for the show and check out that city or go anywhere else in Australia for like 3 nights with Cairns area being the front runner. Thanks!

    Also - thought this was interesting:

    Pearl Jam will follow Arcade Fire on the main stage and play for two hours. Blur will start on the new LOVE stage immediately after Pearl Jam. No crossover!

    First things first . Jodie , THANK YOU for posting such a very helpful and all inclusive info page . Looks like 5 out of seven for me . Sydney thru Perth sounds just about right . Wish I could touch them all , but the dates are just a bit too spread out . The way this Lightning Bolt tour is working out so far , I think not even the Infernal Revenue Service is seeing as much of my $$ as Pearl Jam/Ten Club . My name is Ben and I am a Pearl Jam addict . I too am hoping for the option of 10C travel packages .

    Honestly, if you are going to 3 shows ... isn't that enough? Adelaide is a shithole. If you are going Melbourne/Sydney and have limited time, I would stick to the east coast. Whether that be up Cairns way like you are thinking, or closer to Sydney (e.g. northern NSW, places like Byron Bay).
