    I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this international date line garbage. If I depart Monday afternoon, I land Wednesday morning. :wtf: :crazy: :crazy:

    And the flights that are *only* 22.5 hours are ~$1500 :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    For 2 people! Now I see why you booked so quick! I plan on doing Auckland-Sydney shows. I got nothin against Perth or Adelaide but I gotta get back home as early that week as possible. I haven't decided if I'll do both nights in Sydney or not.

    Hope to see you there :D

    I know ive been trying for the last 1/2 hour to buy the tickets and no luck..
    Not sure if its a BDO issue on their website.. Probably keeps crashing.. but again i wouldnt have thought there were that many NZ 10C fans?

    Adelaide is a shithole


    I've seen PJ in Australia and a few places in Europe in the last few years and IMHO they always save the best sets for Adelaide. That's coming from a melburnian.

    I'll be at Melbourne and Adelaide big day outs
    2003: Melbourne 1
    2006: Verona, Vienna, Zagreb, Melbourne 1-2-3, Adelaide 1-2

    It's far less than an hour from the city to homebush by train. Direct services to Olympic park will be running on the day. Central, Redfern, Strathfield, olympic park. About 20-25 minutes

    Thanks :)

    I've never gone to another country for a concert... almost considering it... will be going to the Auckland one but thinking about going to another one. Hate traveling alone though

    The rest of us will be on the other side to greet you.

    Is the presale really even necessary for Auckland? I read they sold out Mt Smart in 2009 but since there seems to be a lot of hate for BDO and it's in a big park I am wondering if I need to commit just yet?

    Can't get to everyone's questions just yet. Sorry.
    On train, on my phone.
    On my way to work.
    Don't work on a computer so can't check again until later.


    I would sign up for Oztix just in case. Not sure how it works.

    From NYC, that's a good price.

    I'll be moving from NYC to Brisbane the month before, so this works perfectly! 4-5 shows in NYC and Philly, then Gold Coast as my welcome to Australia.
